The incredibly talented directors (and team) brought ancient China right into my living room and took me through a deep emotional journey over 70 captivating episodes.
70 episodes may sound like a lot but rest assured, every single episode is captivating, deeply emotional and every detail is important to the overall plot which is consistent over the entire series. To clarify - no episode is pointless or made to drag out the series.
Every detail from the beautiful stage settings and costumes, the thoughtful writing, the talented actors, the stunning cinematography are all to be appreciated and nothing short of amazing!
I can't talk this series up enough. I believe the director had a clear vision and he hit the nail on the head.
Be warned Westerners - In order for the director to keep his masterpiece authentic to ancient Chinese values, he can't always satisfy westerners wants from a film and has left me with a bit of heartache. You have officially been warned.
