i just completed all 65 episodes with the help of the fast forward button as there’re too many fillers or silly or unnecessary scenes in all episodes. The storyline has too many confusing and unnecessary sub plots.

The acting from both of the leads was decent but I didn’t t feel much chemistry between them. The saving grace for this series was the relatively unknown Deng Lun at the time as his acting and screen presence made this drama more enjoyable to watch. His portrayal of the cold blooded Fox Demon Zixu is captivatingly graceful and gorgeous and i was mesmerised by his acting. Deng Lun was able to expresses the coldness of the character but at the same time ones can feel the deep love that he has hidden deep in his heart towards Daji.

To be honest I was more interested in the story between Daji and the Fox Demon than that of the main leads. The chemistry between the Fox Demon and Daji is also more intense.

Mr Fighting is such a heartwarming and beautiful drama and Deng Lun portrayal of Hao Ze Yu was so genuine and heartfelt making you chuckled, laughed and cried with him. His facial expressions for each emotion is so mesmerising to watch, very subtle yet able to beautifully convey his inner emotions of anguish, delight, awkward or embarrassment. He is truly awesome and very talented. Sandra’s acting is so natural and refreshing cute and the chemistry between them is so good, they make you feel like you are a fly on the wall observing their interactions in their daily lives rather than watching a drama. Nui Meili and Old Fu were excellent as well. Also great storyline, cinematography and soundtrack. One of the best though underrated drama of 2019!

I have to say that I used the fast forward button quite a lot to finish this series. The storyline is pretty weak with lots of unbelievable and boring scenes. The only saving grace of this series is Qui Yue, the most likeable character despite being the leader of the Demon Sect due to the ability of Li Hong Yi In portraying his role. He is able to express deep and complex emotions through his eyes and subtle bodily movements. I like Chun Hua at first but get a bit tired of her character towards the middle of the story. Really not impressed with this series as a whole but the acting of the ML and the chemistry between the main leads keep me going.

TBH I didn't want to watch this drama when I came across it in Jan 19 when I was searching for a good drama to watch. Ashes of love was one of the top 10 recommended drama of 2018 but at first I somehow didn't fancy it after reading the synopsis and seeing the promotion posters. I thought it was going to be one of those fluffy and sickening romantic drama which I really don't like. However, after watching most of the recommended drama such as Legend of Fuyao, TMOPB, King's Woman, The Flame Daughter, Secret of the Three Kingdom and I was running out of drama to watch so I gave AOL a try. At the start I couldn't really get into the story and \i dropped it couple of times but I kept on seeing AOL on the top 10, top 15 lists of a MUST WATCH series so I gave it one last try and to my surprise it is now my favourite Chinese Drama of all time even exceed my previous fav - Nirvana in Fire. Also when I first saw the promotional posters I really don't like the look of Deng Lun but after just first few episodes in I was in awe of his presence and performance. He is truly a God of Fire! I really love this series and I kept re-watched it so many times. The aspect I love the most is the beautiful love story between Jinmi and Xufeng. Truly amazing!
