[@charitosumayao1384]

My first C-drama is Nirvana in Fire, that's how I knew Hu Ge, and my life was never the same again;)

[@taeblends]

His "new face" His "damaged look" People were so worried about Hu Ge losing his handsome face after the accident but honestly besides that little scar above his right eyelid it's really hard to tell ---- he's still SUPER SUPER handsome Also, after watching cdramas for three years I finally decided to start watching Nirvana in Fire-- came here while watching episode 13-- it's sooooo good

[@staceyxiong1701]

When I was young I literally had a crush on Hu Ge and only Hu Ge for 7 straight years lol! 😂 Everyone in my family knows his name and nowadays, because I'm still single as a pringle, my family would joke that it's because Hu Ge set my bar too high 😆😆😆

[@kimsreng21]

😅😅😅

[@learning2healnluvme111]

@Stacey Xiong I can relate! My grandparents had Chinese Paladin 1 dubbed in Hmong and I always borrowed it to watch Hu Ge 💖. I was only 4 back then and I still remember watching it on those boxed TV while my older siblings went to school 😅

[@fangurling8980]

My introduction to Chinese dramas was Nirvana in Fire and Hu Ge. Having started from the pinacle, you know my experience of C-dramas will only go downhill from there, LOL.

[@peachyj6887]

haha same! I'm sure many of us here feel the same way

[@swo2376]

This is no exaggeration at all. Since then I have watched lots of dramas, and while many were good or even excellent, Nirvana in Fire still stands head over shoulders above the rest. It's gratifying and frustrating and awe inspiring all at once.

[@fangurling8980]

@MIchelle Liu Thanks for the rec. I think that's available on Viki so I'll have to check it out.

[@fangurling8980]

@MIchelle Liu It's a very smart, very well made drama! I have to rewatch because the first time I was busy reading the subtitles and I'm sure I missed a lot of things.

[@1divalasvegas]

Dude’s got it all!

[@kinfairliecinder5297]

I first saw Hu Ge in Love of the Condor Heroes 10 years ago in TV. The net back then is not the same as it is now so I wasn't able to see his other works. When I started binge watching cdramas this year, I saw him in Sound of the Dessert and I couldn't get over him. I watched NIF because of him and I still couldn't get over him 😭 I want more dramas with Huge in it.

[@lula4940]

Hu Ge is my favourite actor since I don't know when..

[@lin2916]

Hu ge will always have a special place in my heart ♥️ he's truly truly so talented and passionate about his art. I also love his singing voice so much

[@Muddas05]

Hu Ge is a walking Phenomenon, Love this man for YEARS!!!!!

[@Cent4man]

Hu Ge is such a complex and diverse talent. He is one of the few actors I could name, from any country, with the potential to be internationally renown for his work. I would love to see him in some international movies. I can picture him as James Bond and at the same time, I could picture him as one of Bonds iconic adversaries. Hes just so versatile. There is no part he could not play. Hero, spy, terrorist, father, lover. There are so few actors of his caliber.

[@Rebbie55]

Thanks for this, I loved him in Nirvana in fire , for me acting doesnt mean to cry on screen but to keep cool and still able to portray all he did so well, I still needs to see his other project

[@Rebbie55]

yes one of the finest actor and handsome too

[@ritakhan8121]

Thanks so much for this interesting and excellent coverage of Hu Ge, my favourite Chinese actor. I have enjoyed watching NIF 15+ times. He was excellent for his role as Mei Changsu, especially with the scars above and below his right eyebrow.

[@jannatulferdous8846]

I watched Nirvana in Fire after watching a review from her😁and that was one my best decision. I wasn't into chinese drama that time .and about Hu Ge acting no need to say anything. But I find his personality is very dignified . I don't see any new drama from him long time.Its sad. Hope when he will be back ,he will shine like a star in the sky again!

[@sandiezzz]

I can listen to you talk about Hu Ge all day!

[@helenfhnin]

Hu Ge is my favorite Chinese actor and possibly my favourite actor. He's pretty famous in Myanmar because of his roles in several xianxia/wuxia stories like Chinese Paladin and the Condor Heroes but I fell in love with him because of Chinese Paladin 3 and Xuan Yuan Jian: Tian Zhi Hen. I actually started learning Chinese because I really wanted to follow his news online and at that time, Hu Ge's name is hard to google. Search engines just thought it's a typo of "huge" lol I'm glad he's getting recognized internationally especially because of Nirvana in Fire. He deserves it.

[@zanilazhao6281]

I'm not here often to reply and talk with you, add me on Google Hangout, zanilazhoa0gmail.com I'll keep in touch over there.

[@quackykwulala5066]

Literally, the OG drama for me is the 2008 Legend of the Condor Heros since I was like 4 years old.

[@katty9795]

He is my favourite drama actor ❤

[@littleredhenl.7868]

Oh my... and his voice is incredible🌬💕.•🎶°💗.°*🌸

[@peacewashere1262]

literally finished “Nirvana in Fire” A few weeks ago. it was amazing. your recommendations never fail starting from “The Untamed” to “Joy of Life” “Ten Miles of Peach Blossom” to “Nirvana in Fire” watched all of these because of you! Thanks😊

[@meemtong5589]

Being a fan of Hu Ge, you have done a very good review of him, adding in your own bits of wisdom made me tear👍👏

[@edallas383]

Yess!!!! My beloved Hu Ge finally getting his own vid!

[@baranamtara]

Chinese Paladin made me fall in love with chinese drama (and Hu Ge)... It was just sooo great! He is just wonderful!

[@sultanarazia2271]

He is my favorite actor.

[@jannatulmaowa2794]

Truly I've never found another method actors like hu ge, wang kai and jin dong. My best trio ever ❤️❤️❤️

[@beansprout_apg886]

So true..

[@bssqashyd]

[@AzadeSeif]

[@user-od8qs8oy2f]

[@kalauj]

Yes! Thank you! Yang MI, please ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@xinn_mh]

Finished nirvana in fire today and i cant ignore how hu ge's visual looks so similar to new rising male leads now

[@eclairargent]

Ah, finally!

[@angieng3085]

[@bl_euphoria]

[@TheIrishAnge]

Great overview of his career, many thanks for uploading

[@markliang9519]

Huge fan from toronto

[@zanilazhao6281]

I'm not here often to reply and talk with you, add me on Google Hangout, zanilazhoa0gmail.com I'll keep in touch over there.

[@n.r.srinivasan7311]

He is awesome

[@HaNguyen-ir6qc]

I like the tv series that Hu Ge and my favorite Chinese actor Wan Qian acted together, because of both the plot and how well they acted in this series.

[@DanielleSamoneJohnson77]

Wow! I'm not sure if I'm a bigger fan of the artists you cover or your video coverage. I love your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.

[@abbyong6577]

Thank you for this episode. Hu Ge is still my all time favorite drama actor😁

[@ardeeloren]

In my almost 3 years of c-drama watching, I never heard of Hu Ge and coz KZbin recommended Nirvana in my feed I clicked it. Best recommendation ever. I just finished watching it last week and now sits in my top list. Hu Ge was amazing😍🙌🏻. I started Nirvana 2 but I really didn’t feel it so I’ll pass for now.

[@ashielfaye]

Started to watch Cdrama because of NIF1, before that, I only watch some Jinyong adaptations. Thanks for featuring Hu Ge, he's totally 🥰🥰

[@auroragb]

Wow! He's HUGE!! 🤣🤣

[@rositasi646]

Thank you for featuring my new favourite Wuxian Drama..I just finished Nirvana in Fire a month ago and i become a fan of Hu Ge .Three years ago I have watched Journey of Flower so I really became a fan of Zhao Liying n Wallace Ho ...then Princess Agents also Ken Ling Sen my another fav actor..I wonder why no film or tv drama for Zhao Liying n Hu Ge...?

[@eleonorailieva6144]

True. I literaly fall in love with him.. Bulgaria here.... ❤️ Is magical.... Nirvana in FIRE

[@xiaoyansun5756]

Hu Ge is my favorite actor, I cannot wait to see this video.

[@beesarin]

I love Hu Ge! He is my favourite Chinese actor. Cant wait for his latest work ‘Blossoms’. Not sure if the production already started but i hope it finishes soon ^^”. Wish it would be a success.

[@samo7984]

Really enjoyed this video. I just got on the Nirvana In Fire bandwagon and was completely blown away by Hu Ge. I don’t know if it’s true, but I’ve seen reports that he was not the first choice for Mei Chang Su. The first choice was Huang Xiao Ming but he couldn’t fit it into his schedule so the fan votes demanding Hu Ge became a determining factor in his casting. It’s interesting to me that the car accident became a relief from the pressure of his ascending career. And about a decade later, he put the brakes on it himself just when it was ascending even higher than last time.

[@xzitypur.2660]

胡椒来啦！

[@JonathanMoua]

Chinese Paladin was the first Chinese drama I ever watched and I remember loving Hu Ge so much! Thanks for the video :)

[@stefunnylim]

yesss chinese paladin was so wonderful i’d bawl my soul out every time :’)

[@jujunguyen12]

I’ve watched his dramas for years now, since Chinese Paladin and The Little Fairy when I was a teen. He was my favorite ML crush for so long 😂

[@michelleli3373]

Omg can you do Yang Mi? Yang Mi, Liu shishi, and Hu ge are like an iconic trio

[@srilakshmi5]

loved him in nirvana and disguiser and also the hunting game. sucha dynamic actor

[@Holiday1st]

老胡 😃 He has shown his growth as an actor throughout the years & I really like him (& his sense of humor) ☺️

[@lamusiquefanatique]

Didn't know he debated between directing and acting.

[@Cent4man]

The Wild Goose Lake was a phenomenal movie

[@jerxiong5541]

Oh my goodness. I thought I didn't know him but he is the one from Chinese Paladin. Omg. My childhood. 😳

[@Mizuki101Ikuto]

I’m not familiar with him personally, but once you mentioned that he’s a cat lover and has adopted 5 cats, that’s the instant I know he’s a good person

[@noyc1394]

My first drama with Hu Ge was Nirvana in Fire. One of my favorite dramas of all time. I saw the drama 25 times already. Lol

[@joannfan269]

Hu Ge 👍👍👍

[@newjeansfan238]

I know him, i like him, i knew him from Chinese paladin 1 (2005), Chinese paladin 3, Legend of the condor hero 2008, Xuan yuan Sword etc, he played so tragic hero role. I know that he had an accident during Legend of condor hero, i'm relieved that he was fine after this accident but has just litle scar on his face

[@user-qx4ow8ho3z]

I just realized the first play of HuGe is "A dream like dream", which, XiaoZhan currently doing that play too

[@MindBlinged]

Just finished watching NIF I and I am fangirling so hard over Hu Ge and Wang Kai. Also, just realized that Xiao Zhan is playing the same role as Hu Ge did in the play...wow! Crumbs ig hehe

[@BridgetNkaujHliVang]

Me and Hu Ge go way back. Haha!! The first dramas I watched was The Little Fairy and Chinese Paladin.

[@syafiqkamalazmi]

I remember watching Chinese Paladin… its been so long

[@sekhantsho2]

We share the same birthday, Hu Ge and I. 20th September

[@i123456987654]

i loved the legend of the condor heroes

[@logicwhisky7977]

when i came back to watching chinese drama he was the first who got me back into it. Chinese Paladin was the drama. wow so long ago haha

[@lilyrabbitt4575]

Here’s a piece of drama news: Royal Nirvana just recently released 12 episodes that were cut from the original airing called 别云间

[@marinabalkizova]

OMG! Thanks for the news! Can you tell where is it possible to watch them, please?

[@marinabalkizova]

Oh, sorry, I thought you were talking about nirvana in fire with Hu Ge(

[@hamsalexus6463]

Aaaaaah my frail heart.... 😍😍😍😍🖤❤ and at 18:19 I'm nodding my head so hard that I had a nerve pull....😪😁😅🤣🤣😂

[@pengdamon1147]

啊，我的老胡~

[@ellap.5503]

Came across this video while searching about Hu Ge after watching Nirvana in Fire 🥰

[@moodychaoticmadness4363]

Guess I'll check his dramas after this 🤔

[@lamusiquefanatique]

Was that Wallace Huo that you mentioned is Hu Ge's friend? Could you talk about him too. And could you talk about older Hong Kong stars such as Karen Mok, Shu Qi, etc?

[@genieldoblados6676]

are you gonna make a review about the new Chinese drama called 在一起 with you? it said on the plot summary that it's based on the real life events during the pandemic. I took a glimpse on the cast list and there are so many of them and have only 2 eps on some of the casts. I saw a clip of ni ni 抖音 and I was intrigued about it right。

[@minzzles]

Can u do a review of 八百 and 夺冠

[@kimberlygoodwin8500]

I love Hu Ge! Sound of the Desert and Nirvana in Fire are my favorite.

[@anadacejoanamarier.1437]

Same

[@beansprout_apg886]

Hu Ge will be my forever Lin shu..He was really really really great in Nirvana in Fire.

[@evarubio9904]

Well, forget it, in his recent interview in Harper's Bazaar, April issue, he just dismissed that role he played, saying that he doesn't like it and that it's death.

[@rhianirory7310]

I found out about Hu Ge because I was a fan of Ariel Lin and so I got sucked into watching Little Fairy, which was my first Chinese drama. the two things I remember most was Hu Ge was awesome and the fact that they dubbed over Ariel's voice with someone else's, which was rather upsetting at the time. that drama introduced me to a great actor and I've been his fan ever since.

[@howlingwind2530]

I thought it was Fairy Wonderland/Seven in the Sky that Hu Ge filmed right after his car crash? If i remember he couldn't do his action scenes for The Legend of the Condor Heroes so they filmed Fairy Wonderland/Seven in the Sky before going back to finish Condor Heroes.

[@PyanY]

Ahhh xiao yao ge ge and my biased jing ge ge

[@lilyTlily]

Thanks for this video on Hu Ge which I requested earlier so I am very happy about it. He is destined for stardom. A most colourful life and hope he finds happiness in his life. Can I request Zhu Yi Long , Sun Li and Wang Kai please..

[@dianaphan4484]

Omg the moment when the lighting changed.... scared the shit out of me 😟

[@silviacarolina8456]

Hu Ge is amazing. Can you make the video about Zhu Yi Long and Bai Yu ? Big fans. Thank you

[@She.Blessed_]

Please talk about my love ❤️Rulu Jiang I love her so much especially in Ode to Joy drama, and in the recent one: The Best Partner, she was all gorgeous! Also tell us something about Sang Dingding I love all her ost, her voice makes me mad😭😭😭🥰

[@taeblends]

Ohmygoodness I can never forget Sa Dinging's OST for Ashes of Love, it was absolutely BREATHTAKING

[@thenightowl9123]

Me: already knew everything there is to know ab Hu Ge Also me: watch 20min long vid ab the biography of Hu Ge

[@anamikadiaries]

Meeee toooo😆

[@marinabalkizova]

Same😄

[@staceyxiong1701]

I can relate lol

[@trology0493]

Sameeeeeee 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@LuArielLor]

It's crazy how much he's been through and how he views his career. I've jumped in and out of C-dramaland a lot throughout the decade so I don't know much of actors/actresses personal live. He's a great actor whom I've always love to watch. I just hope he's stays healthy and happy.

[@Pixlanta]

❤️

[@weiting7135]

my beloved Hu Ge

[@mnm2156]

i see... i remember watching condor heroes and wondering what happened to the ending. i mean, it just sorta disappeared for a time...? i think just finishing High School and it was also big in the Philippines. That was him. Hu Ge.

[@annabelleyee6199]

Can you film an analysis on Liu Tao please?
