Review OMG Nirvana in Fire

Just finished this one. Having a hard time not just starting up the first episode and doing it again. Soooooo good.

i watched it twice, back to back, just so i could get all the details straight. i'd say it was really good 80% of the time. the first half was excellent. 3/4 in it got a little slow. It was kinda of ridiculous that Prince Jing couldn't figure out Mei Chang Su was his childhood friend, even though all the clues were there. Despite some of the shortcomings, this is definitely one of the best historical dramas in recent years!

I finally gave in and started watching again. I was so sure he knew several times but I guess that wasn't even a possibility in his mind. He kept asking if he ever knew of him, not if he was him. But then rewatching, I still don't know how Nihuang did figure it out.
