Chang'an shi er shi chen

The author of the original novel is the best novelist (maybe one of the best if you want to nitpick) and the show kept all its spirit and visualized all the elements from Chinese culture in a splendid way! Bravo! (It's not a paid endorsement.)

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.

Consider it as the Chinese version of GOT . The epic background stories, excellent acting,directing,scene,and of course the wonderful sound track. Though it's a little difficult to understand the old Chinese language for modern Chinese people, Netflix could do a good job in the translation.

Well written, great acting, awesome plots and smarts. Highly recommended. I binge-watched this for a couple of days.

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.
