San Guo ji mi zhi qian long zai yuan

I was intrigued by the premise of an alternative version of what happened in the time of the Three Kingdoms in China. The excellent story made me forget what really went on during that time. This is not your typical Chinese Palace drama, there is a lot going on between the protagonists, inside and outside the palaces. Good battle and fight scenes too, intermingled with real historical details. The actors and actresses did a commendable job, they really did choose the appropriate ones for their roles. In fact, one does almost forget that they are acting, that's how good they are. Last but not least it's always a pleasure to watch the stunning beauty of Regina Wan.

After watching Story of Yanxi Palace, Secret of the Three Kingdoms seems to plod along while the acting is competent but suffers from the youthfulness of the main characters.
