Burning Flames: '80s Men Realness
As I was watching the first few minutes of Burning Flames, I kept thinking to myself why is Peter Ho and this show giving me such early '80s vibes? And then it hit me...
It's giving Ricardo Montalbán in The Wrath of Khan.
The insane production design on Burning Flames is making me so nostalgic for the sci-fi/fantasy adventure movies of that era.

My review of Unchained Love / 浮图缘
Xiao Duo (played by Dylan Wang) is a fake eunuch who enters the palace to avenge the death of a loved one. Bu Yinlou (played by Chen Yuqi) is a woman of the emperor's household who is condemned to death. Xiao Duo rescues Bu Yinlou at the request of a prince (played by Peter Ho), but Bu Yinlou's fight for survival has only just begun.
This is definitely the best acting that I've seen from both Dylan Wang and Chen Yuqi so far!
It also showed a very different side of Peter Ho, one that was both horrible and pitiful. Tbh idk if I can look at him the same way again after this :')
Xiao Duo is a complex and layered character. On the surface, he's stoic and methodical, with a fearless and vindictive streak that makes him quite terrifying. But his desires are simple, and he has a loving, playful, and smug side.
Bu Yinlou is one of the funniest female lead characters I've ever seen! Although she's super goofy, she's also clever and perceptive. She knows how to protect herself, mess with her foes, and make the most of any situation. Deep down, what she yearns for most is freedom and agency.
I enjoyed the aesthetics of this drama, and some of the scenery and locations were lovely. I adore the cottage that they stayed in when they travelled to Xishu.
Dylan mentioned one of his favourite scenes being a scene at the cottage with no lines, just Xiao Duo watching Bu Yinglou and Bu Yinglou watching the horizon. When I got to that scene, I definitely understood what he meant. It's a simple but beautiful scene. In hindsight, the Xishu story arc almost feels unreal.
I vibed with the values of this drama a lot. The protagonists know what truly matters to them, when to fight, and when to let go. When Bu Yinlou finds a man that she likes, she bravely takes her chances. When the emperor asks her if she would really go so far out of love for Xiao Duo, she tells him what she really craves is not love, but freedom and choice. When the emperor is convinced by his advisors to believe in his own power and divinity, they lose control of him and suffer the consequences. When Bu Yinlou faces a father who doesn't love her, she has no illusions about what they owe each other. Although they are helpless against the power of the emperor, they insist on control over their own lives.
Unfortunately, many of the intimate scenes were deleted, so there are some continuity errors and gaps that you have to fill in yourself. But personally, it didn't affect how much I enjoyed the story. (And if you still want to see those scenes, some were released in bts clips or leaks.)
I really recommend giving this drama a try! It has quite a unique tone and it's very funny, even in some very serious moments.

15 minutes into Burning Flames:
This is a tacky mess but it’s the kind of tacky mess I love.
Did hair and costume take notes from Mortal Kombat and Dragon Ball for their character design?
Peter Ho is a scenery chewing muscley porcupine daddy and I’m perfectly ok with that.
Allen Ren…is doing it for me here. At least his character design. Don’t know much about his character yet but he sure can pull off a head band. He’s giving elven warrior prince and I’m into it. His looks must favor his mother instead of his father 😆
Overall, this looks like it’ll be loud, larger than life, and fun.
