OMG WOW! With 53 episodes, you think this would be draggy, but it went by way too quickly. I really fell in love with it, I think more than I did with the Gold Dimension instalments. I fell in love with the storyline, most of the characters (cuz dong zhuo, lu bu and their stupid sidekicks really aren't my thing) and all the relationships formed. I literally just finished the last episode, and I'm missing them already. While the storyline was "school" based politics, which I'm not really into, i found myself constantly enjoying it. Of course, there's also the ridiculous yet surprisingly pleasant zhongji humour thrown in there. The addition of wuxia and fighting powers always add a nice touch, and there were so many aspects that kept me on the edge of my seat. While the acting wasn't the best, it's so nice to see such famous stars today collar together for this as this was during the time when most of them just started acting. THE MUSIC IS INCREDIBLE. I have all the songs downloaded and constantly listen to them. There's such a variety, and it's perfect for every scene. The music is very dear to my heart, and I think this has the best soundtrack among all the zhongji instalments so far. Like i said, it's 53 episodes, which took me a while to finish, so i be re-watching it, but trust me, i'll be watching and crying over fan mvs on youtube for the next few weeks (months, really).
