I haven't started it yet, because the plot sounds similar to The Promise of Chang'an which was a very disappointing…
The Promise of Chang'an is just a fiction and The Legend of Xiao Chuo is based on the true historical characters and plots.
And I have watched both of the dramas and this one is more interesting. But if you're not the fan of political dramas, I think this is not your cup of tea.
I really like the fact that the original novel of this drama is based on the real persons in the history.
I can't explain that how much I miss the historical drama based on the real story. Below are *FYI* of the Main Characters.
Tang Yang's character Xiao Yanyan was a Khitan empress and military leader of imperial China's Liao dynasty.
Shawn Dou's character Han Derang was a powerful Han Chinese minister in Liao Court. And have a marriage promise with Xiao Yanyan when they're young.
Jing Chao's character Yelü Xian was the fifth emperor of the Khitan-led Liao dynasty who had support from both the Khitan and Han Chinese ruling elites.
The reasons to watch the Legend of Xiao Chuo is All the casts are excellent. The chemistry between the main characters will melt your heart. The cinematography is so beautiful. And the OST songs are really nice. And you can see the Liao's Tribes and their traditional of ascending the throne is different from Han's People.
The most important is that Shawn's smile are like bright sunshine!! XP
If you're not a fan of crime thriller theme, you shouldn't try it. But you're a fan of crime thriller drama, highly recommend to watch this. The story-line is perfect, the way that they present it is also perfect and the acting of the leads is perfect too.

The BG music is nice, the acting are perfect and the scenes are beautiful too.
Besides the love story of our main leads, I'm also interested into the bromance between Han De Rang and Yelü Xian. They are so cute. XD
