Da qin fu

This drama is certainly an epic with over 70 episodes each lasting 45 minutes. After visiting the Terracotta Army in China this month, I wanted to learn more about the Qin dynasty. It covers the unification of China under the first emperor, Ying Zheng. He is buried in the mausoleum, surrounded on 4 sides by 4 armies (only 1 has been excavated so far). The mausoleum of the first emperor, Ying Zheng is said to have rivers of mercury with booby traps using crossbows. So, this got me interested in the Yin Dynasty and this epic. The visual quality of this drama is very high and the acting is superb. The plot is complicated with lots of palace intrigue between the 7 warring states: - Yin, Zhao, Han, Wei, Chu, Chi and Yan. I particularly liked the military strategy aspect and the ebb and flow of power between the different states. You'll need a lot of time to watch all the episodes. Fortunately, I had time because I was on holiday in China for 2 months.
