I had hilarious hard time figuring out what Wei King's last name would be because they had two at the time. I…
Heheh... definitely your Chinese is vastly superior to mine and in any case my brain is on strike in any language at the moment... What are you watching next?
Hahhahaha 七国咁乱 is so on point, I forgot that was a saying. You have so many golden one liners, I laughed…
Honestly I laughed so hard at the Lao Ai story you posted my stomach hurt and my eyes bugged when I googled some more in Chinese... Yes it was a giant waste of drama time but it was definitely the best laugh I had in a drama for a long time. That Sima Qian had a diabolical sense of humour!!!
"Blood Type: O" - that just cracked me up... the kind of Too Much Info that only a true fan and veteran cyberstalker would be able to dig up! Wonderful article, really enjoyed it!
Amazing review, bravo! Now I finally understand why they had used Zhang Luyi as the 13 year-old Ying Zheng, especially…
Tyvm - yes indeed their resemblance is striking in that scene but they still shouldn't have rolled out Zhang Luyi that early. They should have just stuck to using more subtle parallels like how he he stabbed the clown mocking his mother the same way his uncle once tried to stab Lv Buwei to highlight the rage that runs in their gene pool.
Hi, sorry to cut into the convo (lol) but do watch DREAM DETECTIVE !!! Psych Hunter is good too, but a bit too…
Sounds great - I checked out The Case Solver as well today just because I love the actor and it looks interesting as well if you need something after DD...
Are the 3 prequel mentioned above related to this series?
Yes, they are about his predecessors so you don't have to watch them in order. Season 4 is about Ying Zheng or Qin Shi Huang and the unification of China.

Hahaha... tyvm for the tip - I actually started DD last night but a friend stopped by so I only caught the first 10 minutes. I dropped MRIAD because I disliked the girl and the too many too short mystery episodes got annoying. I agree Psych Hunter has the same vibe which makes me worried... I will pick up DD next day or two, it sounds like it is right up my alley. :)

I suspect it must be because many of them resulted from the fracture of Zhao's vassal states. Their nobility must all be inter-related in some ways... Mind boggling but your attention to detail is amazing.
I never thought elixir stuff was on the table tbh, since it was going for a positive portrayal, but I'm NOT happy…
"he's very very pro-Qin, all the other kingdoms sucks in comparison." -LMAO that is quite obvious!!! They spent so much time on Zhao but for all intents and purposes the decisive battles that weakened Zhao were fought by his predecessors. And I recall Chu put up a good fight with some brilliant military strategies as well but there doesn't seem to be enough time left to properly explore that.
Didnt like last few eps , the way a mighty clever general like li mu fell and to whom. And could you believe its…
I was so sad the way the dealt with Li Mu - I really respected him for so successfully routing the Qin army they had to resort to Guo Kai level heinous tactics to bring him down. That said, I am glad I didn't see the cooking - it would have definitely given me a stomach ache during x-mas dinner!
I also think it was kind of ridiculous how Dun Ruo managed to flit in and out of Handan and indeed high minister residences so easily during a siege. Obviously they didn't run a tight ship bc spies like that should just be rounded up and cooked ASAP in order to effectively break off all diplomatic relations.
