The Romance of Three Kingdoms

Although this is not subtitled, at least not that I've known, it is the best series you will ever see! Rich Chinese historical fiction is brought no farther than reality on TV. Tang Guoqiang does a great job being the wise Zhuge Liang, as does all the other famous actors that star in this series.

What is so great about the 94' version of telling the tale of the Three Kingdoms rather than the 2010 version (which was also great as well). The 94 version tells the ancient and classic Chinese tale with a stylistic tone that is done so well even if the show has errors by the end of the show you seriously want to restart the entire show from episode one and watch it over and over again with a bright smile for the characters of that classical tale that you fell in love with, admire, and sometimes hate.

The only real big overlook of this show is how cheesy it is with it's entertainment granted it will be cheesy at times but again that magical charm of loving it every step of the way keeps this show fresh and fun for viewers and future generation of fans to enjoy and laugh at

Romance of the Three kingdoms is a must see for anybody who is interested in this period of Chinese history. Love, Drama, war, loyalty all make their presences felt in this epic. No small wonder why it is still around, even after almost 2000 years.

Obviously, many parts in the original novel was omitted simply because there would never been enough resources to translate every single detail in the original work into actions, even though the condensed version is already one of the longest TV series in China. What is left in the TV series is still enough for you to sit back and enjoy

Before watching this series, I had read the epic novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and I was well aware of the history surrounding the period after the death of the First Emperor. Usually the movie does not do justice to the novel, but this series does it justice and more. The only exception is the actor chosen to play Lu Bu. An amazing movie. And an amazing period in Chinese history.
