Yea idk, thing is I'm more into action heavy and serious dramas, like for example Vikings is my favourite historical drama. There doesn't seem to be many cdramas like that, and when they are it's like longest day in chang'an, confusing and slow. You get what I mean?
Honestly it's the same with every historical cdrama I've tried including the popular nirvana in fire, dropped them all in 1-3 episodes lol. Sad because it's my favourite genre.
