(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. 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. There was only a brief summary of how things began from there. My small nitpicks would be that the start of the series really just jumps into things during Doug Zhuo's occupation of the empire. 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. His first introduction made me laugh, rising up after a nap and reciting sonnets right off the bat. 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. But my personal favorite character would be Zhuge Liang. His laugh, wit, insight and dominance were what sold his character for me. The actor has a unique air about him that makes the character memorable. I quite enjoy Cao Cao's portrayal in this series. They can be naïve, arrogant, stubborn, light-hearted, witty, funny, etc and evolve as episodes progresses. Overall the characters have different aspects to their personalities. Okay sometimes they can be a bit over-dramatic, but that's Asian drama for ya. They are more natural and realistic and easily relatable. Another aspect that really drew my attention was the portrayals of the characters. Since people will wonder how in the world are there thousands of men but no woman to raise the children that grew into soldiers? Take care of the household? 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. I'm just sad that they couldn't put even more in there, since my nit pick was that there was too few woman shown. I appreciate that we can see a small side of the woman perspective on things. Of course there are still male dominance overtones throughout the story but that's how things were back then. I for one I'm glad that they expanded woman's roles in the story however big or small, to help make the times that they lived in better-rounded. Another thing that I see other reviewers complain about is that there is too much woman in the story, since the original novel never mentions much about woman.

Sometimes TV series will give you perhaps 1-2 battle scenes with a handful of extras to make it look "epic" (ahem *cough, cough* Game of Thrones, I'm looking at you) but with Three Kingdoms, the line of armies/calvarias in the background, whether with real extras or CGI, really makes you feel like there are 50,000 men at the general's call. The scale of the army is a great visual feat like no other television series I've seen. Right off the bat you can tell the expense that they've put into this just by watching the first episode.

This is by far the longest Asian drama I've watch to date, the production quality and storytelling edges neck and neck with another favorite of mine, K-drama's Jumong. It's a rare thing these days that a show would capture my attention from beginning to end, and with 95 episodes to boot! I thought the production was near perfection with only some minor nit picks here and there, which is almost incomprehensible since I don't often say this about a TV series.
