Before i start of with each category, i just want to say how this is just my opinions!
And a short story kind of thing, as this is both released on netflix and youtube, the arrangements of scenes in each episodes are different, so do not jump back and forth with netflix and youtube while watching ashes of love!
At first, i found AOL boring, like as if it wasnt going anywhere and i was really dumb enough to let go of the show at episode 5. zz, but soon i got bored and had nothing else to watch so i decided to jump back into AOL and boy i did not regret a single bit.

Story:
i really like the plot and how some plot twist are really shocking. we thought how runyu would remain calm and gentle but who knew, he was a scheming [female dog]. and the fact that the great floral fairy slowly gave into jinmi because she was finally 'safe' under her father's arm. i wouldnt say who is the biological father of jinmi here, so go watch it yourself. and i super love how phoenix resurrects and became the demon lord man

Acting/Cast:
im sure we all know that deng lun and yangzi have a total of 4dramas together and are really good friends/ maybe dating as some of us shippers notice hehe. their chemistry is great if you go and watch some behind the scenes. not only among the 2 leads, but as well as the lead-supporting roles like runyu and suihe. did you even know that behind the scenes, zifen [flower immortal] and the former heaven emperor were snacking on biscuits like no one's business? how cute!! jinmi and denglun once said in an interview that when they kiss, they dont get shy. yang zi treats denglun like a girl and denglun treats yangzi like guy haha

Music :
not gonna say alot, but not my type. the only song i really like is mao buyi unsullied [不梁] give it a try though, my music taste is quite peculiar among my friends ahha

Rewatch value:
I would rewatch, but IMHO, some episodes were long winded, them walking could take up to 20 seconds of the episode, and maybe if they cut out some scenes, the show would be reduced to like at least 55 episodes than 63, but no complaints! the more, the better !!

Overall:
from episode 45 onwards, get ready your tissue. it is a f***ing emotional rollercoaster all the way till the end. honestly, i watched the whole drama within a week and i wasnt feeling down or ever felt like crying before episode 45. but when i knew what was brewing and when [so and so] killed [so and so], i literally cried my ass off. and suihe being a freaking cunt! like honestly, you will cry. at least from episode 61, no matter how strong you are. And before i post this, i really have to say how this drama taught me so many life lessons like cherish the person you love and no matter how hard it is, true love wont be separated neither will true love be forced. another meaning i learnt is that choose the right choices when it comes to decisions that may change your life. this drama is really worth it. 10/10!
