I never thought I would appreciate a Chinese Drama, but Nirvana in fire is truly a great drama. A strategic drama combined with martial arts. But the essence lies in the portrayal of the individual characters. It truly reflects a human nature. I am mesmerised at the acting itself. The added bonus is the songs that are played. The drama is a long one covering 54 episodes. Despite being long it do not portray multiple story line but a linear story line. Yet, it do not bore you. An exceptional historical drama. Watch it and marvel the Chinese beauty.
