*****BIG SPOILERS***** that explain my points, so be warned


The story/plot of the show is ok. I feel like that they should have focus on other things more than the love story. Some of the other characters personally issues would have made the show a lot better if the extended it. Some of the parts were too slow, and others were too fast. I was so excited for this show but the ending for me was disappointing.

STORY:

Yes the story is mainly about the love ( Ashes of LOVE duh ), but I feel like the plot should have focused on Run Yu character more.
1. He was abused as a child.
2. Taken away from his mother
3. His stepmother is horrible to him and his father kinda of neglected him
4. His love is in love with his brother
5. Found his mother but neglected her
6. Mother basically died in front of him
7. He overcome his father and stepmother
and etc

Run Yu had the best character development I seen in the show. He was like a protagonist, but turned into an antagonist.

The title "Ashes of Love" is perfect for him.
1. he was engaged to a person he love
2. his love left him and all he had left was a broken heart

define Ash(es): "the powdery residue left after the burning of a substance." -google

His brother burned(took) Run Yu's love away and what was left was ashes (a broken heart). ( idk how to explain what I meant but I hope you somehow understand it ).

The show should have ended when Run Yu and JinMi got married. ep 45
I thought they were prefect for each other. Run Yu is dull in expression but felt love, and JinMi is dull on love but had lots of expressions. I was Team JinMi/Xu Feng but I changed to JinMi/Run Yu. No much chemistry between JinMi and Xu Feng anyway so who cares which one u ship.
I thought if the show ended there, it would been the prefect ending plot for an antagonist/bad guy.

The main characters, JinMi and Xu Feng, in my opinion the character development was poor, there were some development but nothing big for the main character. Someone can try to change my mind if you want, but I don't see much development.

I like ep 1-45, ep 46-59 was too slow, ep 60-63 when too fast.
(JUST MY THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS)

ACTING/CAST: the only reason I found this show out because of Deng Lun and Yukee Chen. Deng Lun was in Princess Agents, and Yukee Chen was in Princess WeiYoung.

I felt like Yang Zi's acting was lacking in the show. The way she carried out JinMi character was eh, JinMi did development but I don't know if it was the writer or Yang Zi's acting but the development of JinMi was so unrecognizable and plain. I'm only pointing out Yang Zi because her character is the focus of the show. But some of the other actors/actresses who kinda did a poor job too

MUSIC: I love some of the ost, most of it was not good tho.

REWATCH VALUE: I would never
