Politics at its peak
Swords into Plowshares is set around the 5 Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period after the fall of the Tang Dynasty and thus set upon a time in medieval China where multiple general warlords ascending into royalty have become common as such is the turmoil spread all throughout. It follows the story of three prominent characters, Qian Hong Chu, Zhao Kuang Yin and Guo Rong and their experiences and tribulations throughout this period.
The story and setting isn't the usual chinese costume drama. Its setting is based on actual history. The politics is heavy while presenting realistic themes and characters full of meaning and nuance. Genuinely, it has been a while since I've seen something of this caliber in chinese costume dramas and I am thankful this one caught my attention around here in MDL and gave it a try. If you ever get tired of idol dramas from modern to costume dramas and is seeking a quality inducing drama, then this is the start for you. It has everything you're looking for if you want a dynamic setting, characters and plot that by episode 18 above much has happened that it feels like its been many episodes.
