historical epic with some good, ok and ugly bits

Life is too short for stressful drama. Why spend all that time watching and be stressed? Don’t our lives already provide enough of that?


The good:
- Somewhat light hearted series for a so call historical epic
- There is a bit of rom/com buried in here
- A good variety of characters
- Some major historical events were brought in there so its nice that they captured it
- Good action on most parts
- Good wits for the ML and Zhuge Liang
- Horse cavalries are so cool
- Gongsun Bao Yue/ Jia Qing with the long weapon battles are epic


The ok:
- FL has great chemistry with ML, but not the other way around
- For the production, the army seems to be so little in most of the scene especially in an epic
- Series seems to constantly throw just names/historical characters in just to put it in there
- Good plots are cut short, bad stories are dragging


The ugly:
- Made up supernatural story line to disfigure the historical epic
- Zhao Yun is not as smart as one would expect; constant mishaps and in real life, he would have died a million times over
- frequent miscommunications or inability to speak truthfully for a character who is support to be very versed in the arts and literature
- Zhao Yun’s head seems like an ostrich buried his head in the sand; giving he know nothing about whats going on most of the time



Summary of the series:
- Pretty Light hearted for a historical epic; series had ok flow
- simpatico characters
- villains are there, some long struggles, calamity or miscommunications to cause more drama and stress
- good end to show the peak of ML character; ending scene is awesome


Good watch, somewhat joyful, some added stress: recommended to watch for sure if you like historical events or just good warring battles b/t generals
