Jiu zhou: Hai shang mu yun ji

The first thing you'd notice in Tribes and Empires is the lavishness of the set and costumes, and effects. Never before I've seen such quality in Chinese TV series.

Cinematography is great. Cast and acting is superb. You will get carried away with their emotions, particularly courage, loyalty, despair and jealousy.

The main storyline is highly engaging because of your emotional investment in the main leads, but the side stories tends to drag on with not so important character/storyline that didn't even make a difference in the end.

What this series suffer the most is the conclusion, of which there is none. It will take you on a gentle, beautiful, heartwrenching ride, and then leave you hanging mercilessly, hoping someday there will be season two.

So, beware, watch at your own risk.

Is it worth the risk? I knew what was ahead and watched anyway. I did not regret it. If you can read Chinese you can read the novel. I prefer to make up season two in my head.

This drama is beautiful in a visual and an emotional way. The outcomes are unpredictable and the episodes are filled with content. It doesn't feel slow paced at all. There is no clear good and bad side. Its very emotional, you going to want to laugh with them and cry with them.

I highly recommend this series.

Finally after waiting for nearly 2 years of China drama "Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy" now officially aired. As a fans and who likes watching Chinese dramas, this one C-drama is one of the historical fantasy series with a compilation of romantic tales that you must watch

Absolutely love this drama! Just wish there would be a season 2. It was definitely left unfinished with much more story to tell.

This is just part 1 of an actual book series. Really hoping for a season 2. This one was amazing!

I think we need to start a petition for season 2 so that it gets the necessary funding needed.
