    So excited! Zhang Hanyu returned to drama. Since he accepted this project, It should be a good drama.

    It seems like recently more and more big name has returned to TV drama, Wu Xinbo, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming,.. OMG! when will Liu Yifei?

    I really liked the Glory of the Tang Dynasty because it visits a rare period of Tang History, which focuses on the neglect of Xuanzhong leading to Anlushan’s Rebellion and the aftermath and decline of Tang from that point on, I hate how China always tends to focus on famous emperors and periods of grandeur and prosperity, Times of struggle and change should be focused equally as well. Emperors after Xuanzhong are rarely depicted. We already have so many historical dramas based on the life of Empress Wu, Taizong, Gaozong, Xuanzong, what about their descendants like Dezong, Xianzong, and Xuānzong etc…

      If you like empire in decline stories, you should check out “大明王朝/Ming Dynasty 1566”, which in my opinion is one of the. est historical drama made after 2000. However, it is a serious drama rather than a idol drama.

      Same can be said about the Qing dynasty. We have way too many series about Kang Xi, Yong Zheng and Qian Long. They did their jobs but let’s give some of the spotlight to their grandchildren.

      On the other hand these types of stories are uplifting and promote a positive image. This will always be a thing.

        I guess i should have reworded it to mention the multiple Dynastic Empires that unified China, But you gotta give it to the Han and Tang for having the best miliary Emperors and leaders, Song Dynasty in my option is the weakest of the larger unified empires and a disgrace as most of the Emperors advocated Confucian ideology and teaching rather then focusing on defense, Buy stability rather then enforce and practice it.

          Song and Ming are on my list for being the weaker dynasties. My impression of Ming is that half of the dynasty fell into the hands of eunuchs.

    Yah thats one of my model dramas, Qin Dynasty was good too, but they need to make HD releases of these because if its not 720-1080p it looks really dated.

    The veterans in Glory of Tang Dynasty are a fantastic bunch and I’m glad the company invited more to join in on their productions.

    Good on them for promoting Qin Junjie. He is a decent actor and his portrayal of Deng Feng from Ruby’s Chang Ge Xing left a deep impression. And yay for his reunion with Shu Chang! We will definitely need this after Glory.

      Yes! QJJ’s portrayal of DF really stood out. I love him and MZJ as the duo.

        Their bromance was pretty cute in that. They are playing rivals next. Can’t wait to see what they will bring.

          They were already rivals in Chusen. I want more bromance lol

          I didn’t watch Chusen lol. I guess they gave up on the bromance for now.
