I am going to keep this review short, by simply saying. This drama is worth losing sleep to watch! if watching on IQIYI you must watch it in premium membership ? because the scenes in the drama are too beautiful to watch in nothing less than 4K.
From start to finish Burning Flames was a undeniable hit!!
There isn't one dull moment, the only urge you will get to skip to the next episode is due to the impatients of wanting to see want is next.
And you then wouldn't dare skip because you don't want to miss a thing lol it's that good.
I gave the drama a 9.5 took the 5 off because I feel making Bai Cai ( female lead) dieing at her wedding was unnecessary. She and Male Lead already went through the valley of death lol literally and came out strong ?? so in my opinion the writer and directors should have just given us the bloody happy ending.
Then to have the ML went on searching worldwide ? spree to find her because he believed she was not dead was stupid as we literally saw her died before our eyes.

If they wanted to do a reincarnated episode or a spirit soul transfer I would buy it, because there was alot of that in the movie.
instead they had ML walking ?‍♂️ through every season; Winter, Summer, Spring, Autum. Just for him to end up smiling at the door. Yep that's how they ended it! Kept us in suspense and didn't show us who the ML was smiling at!
( bloody frustrating)
Other than the clue of the snow man ❄️ that we know reflected Bai Cai (FL) as there was a scene of her making a snown man and we know she loved to make them. However There was no other proof it was her.
After binge watching 40 episode and investing 72hours of my life source.
I want to be happy dammit!!!! lol ?
I want marriage and babies running around in a world where the ML and FL work tiresomely to create.
I don't want clues to guess Sh### cause we all know there won't be another 40 something episode. ? lol ? ?
I want to fight the Directors and the Writers. ?
