I liked one on one duel fights. They looked quiet real and fancy at the same time. This show also had more then few tear jerking scenes for me. But they were totally worth it.
Overall, I've had some life learning experiences while watching this drama. And I don't regret watching it at all.

Worth to rewatch
I watched many versions related to Yang family in movies, but this is the best one I could sayPerformance, Actors, actions scenes, customs in the movies are invested carefully and the content is also the same in the history.
Compared to other, this version is much more highly invested and great performance, so I rated as the highest score.
I watched it 15 years ago and now I rewatched for a few times, it is still interesting and never get bored, still the same feeling for the first time
I hope there will be the version of after generation of Yang made my this directors and these actors.

A must-watch, for sure.
Okay, let's talk about this one. First of all, I began watching this drama with no expectations. But hell, I was so freaking surprised because it is a really good surprise. So much better than many historical dramas that are made nowadays, for real ! The production is really good for a 2006's drama, even if yeah, sometimes you have some flashy colors/lights that are a little annoying because it hurts the eyes and you have some "too easy" transition, but still, it's a 2006's drama and the production is way better than many today's dramas, that's so amazing.The story is just awesome and you'll be yelling, crying, trying to talk to the characters behind your screen, for real. That's so rare that I do that for a drama and I did for each episode while watching this one... Like, it's like you're really watching someone's else life and you're so in it like you almost forget that it's just a drama (even if yeah, it's inspired by real facts but still, it's really amazing how I was into the story, the characters and so on).
The OST is really good and each music is played in the perfect moment, at the perfect second. The emotions and the feelings are so well-played by every actors. I really liked every characters, and I really wanted to kill myself the villains... The actors were so good that it was really like watching real lives. I don't know how to explain better, but just try it and you'll know for sure !
For this one I put a rewatch value because yes, that's so rare from me but I'll rewatch it for sure. I don't want to leave these characters, to forget them. It's like, you're emotionnaly attached to every character and you just want to spend more times with them. The one I liked the most was obviously Yang Qi Lang... He was so pure but at the same time so strong. He was betrayed by so many people but he never lost hope or trust. I freaking love him.
This drama is really a must-watch, you'll not regret it.

The storyline can get somewhat "annoying" with all the love triangles, there are many love storylines in here and it's too interwoven at times, and too "convenient" that some of our brothers fall in love with the same girl their nemises is in love with. Towards the end of the drama, I was sick of 6th son love drama, on how the girl he was friends with went psycho. I skipped past most of the scenes with her in it, it was too much for me. However, some of the love scenes are quite cute. I was fond of Peter Ho and Ceciliu Liu's roles, as well the General Yang and his wife. If you like a drama with lots of intense emotions, this one will suck you in. Every scene that involved 4th son w/ his parents had me on verge of crying.
Acting: This drama has a superb cast. It's not as big as the 1980's version made by TVB (which featured TONS of TVB actors at the time), but it's pretty decent. I thought the 1,2,3 sons and their wives were pretty plain and not memorable. 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th sons are played by Peter Ho, Chen Long, Hu Ge and Eddie Peng, excellent cast for the younger bros. Their little sister, played Zhao Zi Cun is just adorable!! She's probably one my favorite characters in this drama.
The actors that portray General Yang and his wife take the cake on this drama. You would think Hu Ge is the main actor in here, but nope. Those two did a fantastic job of their parents. Dad is strict, stoic, and often torn between family and state affairs. Mom is strong and the backbone to the family. Such a awesome couple.
Overall, it's a pretty good drama. Don't expect too many happy endings because in the legends and in history, there were no happy endings.
