Thank you very much!!! This is very helpful…5 Dynasties and 10 kingdoms, a lot of character to be familiar with, heard that they used hired 350 over casts for this drama.;)

You’re welcome! ☺️ I’ll need to make updates once I check out how Viki translates the titles. Yes a huge cast indeed! So many known actors played cameo here.

In this drama, they seemed to focus on the stories surrounding Qian Hong Chu, Zhao Kuang Yin and Guo Rong as they were the top main leads.
