Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire (Season 1)

Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire (烈火浇愁, 2021) is a Chinese fantasy action series you can watch online on iFILM. In a present-day setting where ordinary people have begun developing supernatural abilities, the government runs a dedicated department to keep things from unravelling.

Xuan Ji (Jiang Guantao) takes over as head of one division and immediately runs into a case that shouldn't be possible: the reawakening of Sheng Lingyuan, an ancient emperor dead for thousands of years. Their meeting, it turns out, is no accident. A shadowy conspiracy is growing beneath the surface — one that threatens to upend the balance between the modern world and forces far older than any bureaucracy. The blend of contemporary procedural and ancient mythology gives the show an unusual texture worth sticking with. Watch Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire online on iFILM.
