This is just an amazing show, interesting story line, good music and the best cinematographic production I´ve ever seen in a drama. I have seen that some people say that the show´s pace is really slow but I think is awsome that the production put a lot of attention to the details that show us the customs of those different characters, for me every scene is beautiful. If you like dramas full of romance you will be a bit dissapointed about this show because romance is not that important here.

The story is really interesting but, since we have three main leads with totally different plots, there will be a long time in which you only see one of them, so you have to wait a couple episodes to know what´s happening to someone you may be more interested in than the character currently in scene. That´s maybe one flaw for someone.

I´m not going to complain about the flashbacks because I´m already used to that because other Cdramas, but if you really don´t like flashbacks you may be a little bit annoyed becuase flashback appear, all the time.

As for the characters I find their acting really good, the only two characters I really could not stand at were Muru Shuo and Shuofeng Heye, especially the last one, but it was becuase the character itself not the actors. Muru Shuo kind of reminded me to Bai Zihua in The journey of flower because of that annoyingly high sense of duty and I hate that because of the treatment toward my baby Hanjiang. On the other hand Shuofeng Heye only knows one freaking sentence: I´m the king of the world, and something similar, he´s just annoyning but some people really like him and every one has their own preferences.

I just wanted to see more fantasy and magical thinngs but the political plot is good.

Tribes and empires has a really open ending and a second season is not on the horizon, is really sad because I really want to see a proper ending to all those storylines.

So is this worth watching, I say yes but that freaking end reduces a lot my opinion of the drama.
