This series redefines "binge-worthy."
This production has impressed me for the quality of direction, photography, set design, costumes, historical and cultural accuracy (many museums and cultural institutions in China already came out with articles and comments about the artistic and cultural accuracy and value in Legend of Zanghai), and of course because of the cast, as numerous as it is highly professional.
Not just Xiao Zhan as the ML that gives his great performance all over but other roles have their times to shine as well. The costumes, props, buildings, sceneries, background musics - we can feel the high quality of this drama, on par with some big budgeted movies.
The plot is superb and delivered exquisitely. Already in episode one you feel for the main character and you will also want to take part in the revenge. The series follows the journey of Zang Hai (played brilliantly by Xiao Zhan), a noble yet wronged military commander whose family is destroyed by corruption within the empire. Xiao Zhan delivers his career-defining role, with micro-expressions through a glance, facial expressions or even vocal control, making every strategy session electrifying.
There are no absolute heroes or villains here-only individuals trapped in the tides of history, each carrying the weight of legacy, betrayal, and redemption.
The female character truly shine as well-they carry secrets, possess martial skills, intelligence, and beauty.
A must watch for anyone who values storytelling at its finest.
