![]() ![]() There are many “strange” and unexplained details in TROP that made you scratch your head. Uneven pacing and the deleted important scenes are probably the biggest flaws of this dramas. I blame Chinese censorship for the missing scenes, rather than the production team, because online there are several very good scenes such as the emperor abdicating to Ning Yi, but they are all edited out. Some scenes are redundant, whereas numerous important scenes are cut-off, especially in the last 10 episodes. This subtlety and careful planning is somewhat lacking in The Rise of Phoenixes. Everything intertwines together to form a very intricate plot. In Nirvana in Fire, you can see how every single scenes explain what will come up next. It’s definitely not the drama for everyone.Īlthough the story is great overall with several climaxes and twists to get you hooked, it is sadly flawed. ![]() ![]() Despite a great plot, the Rise of Phoenixes can be hard to get into, especially with a slow beginning. It’s definitely one of those shows that you can’t really fast forward. ![]() Expect complex political schemes, bloody battles between the princes, and different nation-states vying for power.

The story follows the 6th prince, Ning Yi, and the princess of the previous dynasty, Feng Zhiwei. The Rise of Phoenixes is an intense political drama set in the early years of the fictional Tiansheng dynasty. Nevertheless, The Rise of Phoenixes is one of the best underrated Chinese historical dramas out there.īEWARE OF SPOILERS!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Synopsis Sadly, in terms of commercial success, the drama was no where nearly as successful and as popular as Nirvana in Fire was. Considering how NIF is such a masterpiece, this is actually a compliment. If you’ve ever read reviews about the Rise of Phoenixes on rating sites and forums, people will most likely comment it to be “Almost as good as Nirvana in Fire”. ![]()
