Da Qin di guo

Unlike other Chinese empires' dramas, the kings of Qin set their goal to become the ruler of the entire ancient China from the very beginning, and passed this goal from one generation to next. Though some values from Qin were outdated, the actors and actresses provided an excellent show through their infectious lines. The drama maintained lots of good details to show audiences the ancient China.

I beg, do not get fooled by the first episode that seems to appear as a very old and badly made tv series!

Most of Chinese TV series will require some knowledge about Chinese ways and culture.

Not this one, it is very approachable while giving an insanely good description of what China looked like ~300 years B. C.

Learn more about the events happening 2 generations before the unification of China, which would have not be possible otherwise.

Outside of the historical part of this show, I was moved by the actors. They played delightfully well and I've rarely seen such true emotions being displayed. Especially for an "old" tv series such as this one.

I wish it were more popular!

Besides getting to learn more about the history etc. I personally think Fu DeLong is a good actor. I like how he has humor. But can be brutal when needed. Qin Empire is one of my favorites. Eye candy too. What a handsome dude in his costume!!

I've watched chinese dramas before many times and what I'm going to tell you is this. I've never seen another series as great as this one. The cast, cinematography, the writer's, the producers, everything is amazing! The way they draw you in to the character development. They way you get emotionally attached to different people forming different relationships. It's absolutely amazing. If you like period dramas then you absolutely need to see this! I was so engrossed in this series I binge watched the first two seasons in two weeks. You will get so wrapped up in this series you won't be able to stop watching it. Do yourself a favor and don't skip over this series!

The epic series which begins with the warring states period through to the eventual unification into one country. It is an interesting and informative watch with an excellent cast. The story mainly revolves around the Qin court and their perspective, and chronicles the constant conflict between states and the diplomacy at that time. We see many battles but not from the perspective of the soldiers as hundreds of thousands die whilst the Kings squabble.
