Just ordered a fresh batch of DVDs from YesAsia, including some top K-dramas, and a couple of historical TV series. One of them is 少年杨家将 (Young Warriors of the Yang Clan), which, by the way, has a nice opening theme (posted below). Was in two minds for a while (mainly because YesAsia has recently removed UAE from their free international shipping country list) but had to accept it for lack of alternatives.
The young yang warriors btw is only loosely historical. It is more of an idol series in my opinion but was popular so probably a good bet. Personally I didn't like it much.
ReplyDeleteWell, the battle scenes are supposed to be good, at least. I don't expect it to be too educational, but it will be good to watch while I read about the real historical background.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that's the China version. Don't think much of it to be honest. TVB is still the gold standard.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, the battle scenes and the acting is pretty good.
ReplyDeleteThis show focuses on family ties and conspiracy to attain power - keeps you on your toes.
