Sanadamaru

The time might be a little different, but they are BOTH REALLY GOOD!!!
Have fun watching! I love to watch taiga dramas so if anyone needs any recs, don't be afraid to ask me!

Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.

If you like Yabushige's character in Shogun, you may like Sanadamaru. This Taiga Drama shows a "sneaky" side of a samurai during the end of Sengoku Era, where they have to cleverly "switching sides" for the clan survival.

Sanadamaru also depicts the life of Taiko in his later years and how Ishida (Lord Ishido in Shogun) was desperately trying to corner Tokugawa (Toranaga) to the Sekigahara battle. The drama spans until the fall of Osaka castle.

Bonus: Ninja action, Christian depiction, Hosokawa Garcia (Mariko) appearance
