#nirvana in fire

ok and what about yearning for your best friend who died 12 years ago labelled as a traitor but at the same time falling for mysterious genius newcomer who unexpectedly pledges his loyalty to you and vows to help you uncover the truth of the conspiracy that happened 12 years ago which caused the death of said best friend.

My not!crow eating watch of Nirvana in Fire has made me realize —

This is why I am really frustrated by the growing absolutist language in fandom (and cdrama fandom.). Sometimes a drama doesn’t work at some particular point in time, and then sometimes moods change and it all clicks later.

(In this case, 11 years later 😂)

They gave us what "Nirvana in Fire" couldn't give us. 🤭☺️😄

My mom (my parents are here these next 2 weeks) popped her head in my room

NIF episode 9 is on my TV

She was like

“That’s a great show. Gets better and better. They all got old though.”

妈 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I might have to eat some old crow on Nirvana in Fire because as someone who dropped it back when it first came out, for years I held it as my "popular show that I didn't enjoy" drama.

But I am enjoying it now? a lot? I mean, I still question Mei Changsu's decision to install Xiao Jingyan as the emperor, like that cinnamon roll of a grumpy cat should not be anywhere near the throne.

But the characters have depth! And how Nihuang manages to be Strong (TM) but doesn't feel like a #bossbabe inspo poster.
