Heroes in Sui and Tang Dynasties (2013)

This was one of the dramas I accidentally stumbled upon while looking for something to watch. To be honest, I didn't know 95% of the cast in this drama but decided to give this drama a chance. Even though this drama is long, it is worth watching. This drama is about heroes such as Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng who fight for justice and to root out all corruptions in the Sui court. There is a lot of corrupted officials who are greedy for money or power. This is a story about brotherhood among heroes working towards a goal of ending the Sui Dynasty. The main idea is how Qin Qiong encounters lost family members or virtuous friends on a quest to fight for injustice during his journey. We have heroes that are not smart but have immense strength, we have heroes that are loyal to their lord even if the lord is corrupted and then we have heroes that have a sense of righteousness and work towards that cause. There are a lot of characters which may confuse you in the beginning, however once you start watching, you will get to know all the characters portrayed. There is some comedy involved in scenes with Cheng Yao Jin but that is because this character is not bright and also causes trouble. I really liked the chemistry between Qin Qiong and Yu Er. Yu Er is one of those type of girls that will go through thick and thin for their husband. There are a lot of things that happen and I wish some areas were more detailed with more scenes. There are also happy and sad scenes where you root for the characters. Overall, I enjoyed this drama. Try watching several episodes to see if this interests you.

DON'T DO REMAKE OF THIS DRAMA, IT'S ALREADY THIS GREAT

this is the best historical drama i've watched. i watched it back in 2013 amd been rewatching it like 5 times already.
i dont wish for this drama to be remade, this one is already so great! let this be a legendary drama.

some episodes felt draggy but it didnt concern me at all as the story itself is engaging.
the casts are all awesome, even the bad guys!


the fighting scenes are the best. this is the only kingdom themed historical drama with lots of fighting scenes. most kingdom/palace drama dont have many fighting scenes especially this great.
the war scenes are great for the era of 2013. the choreography is superb.

i highly recommend this drama. watch it, feel it, feel the brotherhood, enjoy the fighting scenes.

Political struggle in historical times!!

This drama,accidentally was recommended to me,by YouTube.I am glad I watched it,because it has a solid plot with an intense screenplay from the beginning to the end.
The story revolves about the transfer of power from Sui dynasty to Tang Dynasty and the heroes who came into glory in those turbulent times.How these heroes,motivated people,stood by them in tough times,fought for better governance despite losing some of their loved ones,helped citizens of the country pass through rough phases and successfully helped Tang dynasty rise to power.
The story was very good and solid from the beginning.There were lots of tensive moments with a good pace that kept me hooked till the end.
This is the first time I am watching Yang Yi Kuan and he is excellent in his performance.Jiang Wu and Zhang Han were also perfect in their roles.
The actors did a good job in portraying their roles.They really made the story interesting.
I was really impressed by the way they showcased how people lived in constant fear,formed teams,army units and alliances,while some of them stayed united,some betrayed,some died.All their struggles,anguishes, anxieties tensions were beautifully portrayed on the screen.
The romantic tracks were also decent and good.
The costumes,sets,music were good.Though they may seem outdated with respect to the present day technology used in chinese dramas,surely you can give this drama a chance to watch to know the history,culture, struggles,politics of Sui dynasty and Tang dynasties.
I highly recommend this historical drama.It is a very good watch!!
