Chang'an shi er shi chen

This is high quality and scores in many aspects including cinematography, acting, intrigue, attention to details, costume, execution, lighting and believable fight scenes. In a nutshell, it tells of a terrorist attack on the city of Chang'an on the day of the Lantern Festival and follows through our hero's efforts to investigate and prevent the attack on the city. There's many characters in the entire series and I definitely got lost and confused many times. Much time and effort is given to the development of each character. There's no shortcuts in this series and if you don't follow through it, you will want to rewind and catch up again to continue with the story. The series is interesting, fast paced and beautifully made, so you will not want to give up at any point. It also builds up and you just want to solve the mystery.

My favourite show in 2019 so far. Loved the cast, the set up, and the storyline. They have created an absolute beautiful Tang Dynasty in this show. Very joyful to watch.

It's more like a long movie. Absolutely a marvel. Complex but easy to follow storyline, great characters, twists and an amazing chase scene.

This an epic 48 episode movie. Story, dialog, cinematography, action sequences, music, intensity, costume, set design, explosions, suspense, drama, acting, character development, all on a stunning level like you have never seen before.

The Chang'an in poet Lee Bai's poems are presented so beautifully on screen here. It's like a time-machine that takes you back to this ancient world to experience all the beauty, culture, joy, sadness, loyalty, and betrayal it has to offer with its heroes, villains, and the in-betweens.

Zhang Xiaojing is a real Tang Dynasty superhero in recorded history. The actor who portrayed him went through major changes from his usual image and style and spent long hours training in combat for the show and did an incredible job.

Those chase/combat scenes intertwined with the outdoors Chang'an Idols showdown were absolutely amazing. The humbling and self-reflecting moments with the emperor were also some of my favorites parts of the story.

When the show is over I felt like I woke up from a beautiful and adventurous dream and yearning to go back to experience it all again.

It's likely to make the list of China's best dramas of 2019, and the best costume drama I've seen so far. This drama is superior to other dramas in terms of historical reducibility, shooting effect and plot. The play pays great attention to the costumes and language of the Tang dynasty, which greatly restores the cultural features of that time. This drama also has a very good shooting effect, especially in each episode of the TV before and after the two clips, are worth recalling. In terms of plot, foreshadowing is very well designed. I did not understand many of the plots, but with the help of some auxiliary means, I understood a little. At first I didn't think it was a good show because I couldn't understand what it was about, but then I got more and more absorbed in it, and I was deeply attracted by it, and many of the episodes were memorable. But some of the details may need a second view to understand. I think it is one of the few costume dramas with high scores in China in recent years. The humanity, court, all corners of the country and common people are vividly portrayed, some of which make people feel deeply afraid to look straight at. Maybe this is the social appearance of that time. The final open ending buried a deep foreshadowing. I wish the show had a second season. I think the end song is also very good, and it is not fixed, which is also very attractive to me. The show was very creative and opened my eyes. It let me know that a day in Chang 'an can be made into 48 episodes. All in all, I hope the Chinese film industry can produce more good dramas like The longest Day In Chang 'an.
