Guide their husbands? Have their role in the political scheming, or marriage alliances? Men might write the history books but you can't tell me that woman never had a part in them.

Another aspect that really drew my attention was the portrayals of the characters. They are more natural and realistic and easily relatable. Okay sometimes they can be a bit over-dramatic, but that's Asian drama for ya. Overall the characters have different aspects to their personalities. I quite enjoy Cao Cao's portrayal in this series.

The actor has a unique air about him that makes the character memorable. His laugh, wit, insight and dominance were what sold his character for me. But my personal favorite character would be Zhuge Liang. I love how the actor portrays him, and you can believe that the character lives up to his reputation, since it's been stated over and over throughout history that he's a master strategist with a calm composure.

His first introduction made me laugh, rising up after a nap and reciting sonnets right off the bat. That was the moment where I thought "I'm going to like this character" A bit silly, but I appreciate the light-hearted moments here and there amidst the chaos and battle sequences and backstabbing political scheming.

My small nitpicks would be that the start of the series really just jumps into things during Doug Zhuo's occupation of the empire. There was only a brief summary of how things began from there. So non-history buff like myself might be a little confused as to what's going on but you quickly catch up if you pay attention to the characters and dialogue.

And believe me there's a lot to pay attention to, that might warrant a second rewatch if you miss things Also they never really had an introduction to the beginning of Liu Bei, such a major character in the series; we never got to see how he really began his quest with his oath brothers like we did with Cao, Cao.

I guess they had to cut something to keep the timeline flowing. But you get the gist of Liu Bei's major goal right away. Final nitpick was that the soundtrack didn't have a lot of variety to the music. There were maybe 5 major themes and that was it. So watching 95 episodes with the same music playing in the background gets old fast. Good thing the action and story kept my interest.

So overall it's a wonderful adaptation to a popular novel. I'll admit I'm not a Three Kingdoms buff, so I wouldn't notice if they're far off from the story or not which after skimming through historical facts, doesn't seem like it.

The only connection I have with the original story was playing Dynasty Warriors and we all know that's not an accurate representation. But if you enjoy good story and characterization then I highly recommend this series. I can forgive if the production took a few artistic liberties, but the main thing I look for in a good series is if the story flows well, the characters are in line with the story they're telling, and it has enough visuals for my eyes to feast on.

That said, I'm a happy camper. Details Edit. Release date May 2, China. Official site China. Technical specs Edit. Runtime 45 minutes. Related news. May 11 AsianMoviePulse.

The name itself makes it clear that this is a martial art style that integrates action and will.

However, there is no actual documented history to support this claim. The most reliable historical information references Ji Longfeng also known as Ji Jike as the originator of the style. Reportedly, Ji created Xing Yi Quan based on the use of spear techniques. Xing Yi is a sophisticated art, and most likely many masters contributed to its development. Ji Longfeng taught many students, and in time the style split into three branches: the Hebei, Shanxi , and Henan schools.

The three styles have common as well as varying elements. Because I teach Hebei Xing Yi at my school, the focus here will be on its distinctive features and characteristics. Mastery of the five fists and full understanding of the five elements theory is the key to gaining skill in the art, and they remain an important part of practice even at advanced stages.

Hebei Xing Yi incorporates the practice of the Shi Er Xing 12 Animals Forms to further advance and expand fighting techniques and strategy. Originally Xing Yi had only a few routines. Over time, many masters contributed to its growth, and today the style contains many empty-hand, weapons, and partner routines that are learned as a student progresses through the training.

On the surface, movements seem predominantly linear, and this gives the appearance that Xing Yi is simple and direct, but this is not the case. The techniques are based on highly evolved concepts and contain many underlying intricacies. Xing Yi is easy to learn but requires diligence and dedication to master.

Along with Taiji and Bagua, it is often referred to as an internal style of martial arts, but because of its brisk and powerful actions it does not appear as such at first glance. There is nothing flashy about the style; it is fast and extremely effective close-in. Kicking is generally aimed at low targets and is used in conjunction with the hand work.

Xing Yi is an aggressive style. A Xing Yi fighter gives ground reluctantly and only for an instant before pressing the attack again. Fa Jin , the release of explosive force in Xing Yi, is akin to a piece of rattan when it is bent. Rattan is pliable, resilient, and yet sturdy; it flexes but snaps back with great force.
