Strange Chronicles of Tang (唐诡奇谭) is the unofficial season 4 in the Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty universe. Why? I think it’s because the number four in Mandarin (and Cantonese) sounds very similar to the word death and is considered unlucky. In any case, Season 4 is a transitional drama to bridge Season 3 and Season 5 with the same cast. The format is also different – with 21 episodes and roughly 20 minutes each episode to cover 2 more stories in the universe. There are also vertical and horizontal dramas as well called Strange Chronicles of Tang: The Chang’an Detective (already aired on 11/23) and Strange Chronicles of Tang: The Nine Tiered Labyrinth with a different cast (though Yang Zhi Gang is in Nine).
FYI, Season 3 just ended its run in November.
Airing 12/17~
