Finished 三国 last summer which was 90+ episodes. And watching 楚汉传奇 now. Kinda crazy how I can actually watch these historical dramas. This one is 80+ episodes long!!!
Got sidetracked by googling the characters in the drama and learnt so much about the history of China this way.
I think I'm getting a little too addicted to Chinese historical era.
These shows got me thinking. They say history is written by the victors. You have to agree with the truth that statement contains.
Then again, the show, 大太监 by TVB also presented another view on the infamous duo, 慈禧太后 and 李莲英.
You can debate on who's the 'good' guy and the 'bad', you can judge the decisions and actions of the people in the past. But, how much is true, and again - how can you judge decisions made during war-times when we are in a relatively peaceful era?
Watching these shows further proves a point - every coin has two sides. Its up to you to think about them both and not just judge blindly.
