This is high quality dramas in 2026
I'm a multi genre viewer. I watch any drama and film, including Cdramas, Thaidramas, Kdramas, and Jdramas, as long as they're engaging and high-quality. I can watch both light and heavy stories.When judging a drama, I consider the seriousness of the production team. Is the script heartfelt? Are the actors' performances good? That's what I consider. And this drama is one of the best dramas in my opinion and a favorite in 2026. This story isn't made for everyone because of its serious and heavy topic, but the script makes this heavy topic interesting to watch.
At the beginning of the episode, I saw how chaotic the times were with epic cinematography, so many actors, horses, and props that must have cost a lot of money. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE DRAMA!! The storyline is great, the friendship between young people like Qian, Zhou, and Guo is very touching. Controversial figures in history like Hu Jin Si, Feng Dao, and my favorite character Shuiqiu... all are well written. I like Hongchu's growth in this story, his love story with Tai Zhen is only a small part of the story but I think the portion is very appropriate (although in history Hongchu had many concubines and children, it's okay if we just ignore it).
This story teaches me the sacrifices of people in the past, their struggles and integrity are truly extraordinary, this drama brought me into the story, made me cry and laugh.
If I transmigrated into this drama, I don't think I would be able to last for 2 episodes. My IQ, EQ, crisis management, emotional management and wisdom are very lacking to survive long in this era, modern knowledge will not be useful when war always occurs and peace is difficult to achieve. This is the second best drama in my opinion in 2026, hopefully there will be more satisfying dramas this year.
