So well done - A balance of history, mysticism, and morality
Highly recommended
Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 3: To Changan
It balances history, mysticism, and morality — and it does so with a very poetic kind of pacing.
Not rushed.
Not flashy.
Just beautifully told.
• The mysteries are layered
They are never just puzzles: they explore motives, sorrow, justice, duty, and compassion - stories that reflect the human condition.
• The partnership of Su Wuming and Lu Lufeng
Their dynamic echoes the classical ideal: one sharp-minded, one warm-hearted, both seeking truth but never detached from the people caught in the case.
The two ladies are clever - they offer balance to the two male leads.
There is a sense of humanity
Even though the series uses supernatural elements, each case is ultimately grounded in:
• grief
• loyalty
• injustice
• sacrifice
• the fragility of ordinary lives caught in forces beyond their control
