[[Mainland Chinese Drama 2018] The Rise of Phoenixes 凰权·弈天下]

This was the first Chinese drama series I have watched.  I do not speak nor understand mandarin.  This drama series was absolutely fantastic!! Loved the main characters! They did an awesome job. Their chemistry were unbelievable.  One can tell they got along very well and they may have become very good friends because of the series.  The behind the scene YouTube videos showed they had a lot of fun working together. The whole cast did a wonderful job too.  It was unfortunate they mess with the ending.  It was heart wrenching that the NingYi and Zhiwei were not able to be with each other.  The costumes and setting were beautiful! Everything was nicely done including the music and songs. If there were deleted scenes, hope they will release them and make them into a short season 2 with a good ending.  Love, love the drama series. It is in a class of its own!
