Review: Secret of the Three Kingdoms (三國機密) (2018)
Thursday, December 30th, 2021 16:11This drama was enjoyable overall. The story is an alternate history story about Liu Xie, the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was a puppet during the start of the Three Kingdoms Period. The story is based on a book by Ma Boyong, who wrote the Longest Day of Chang'an, so I was already expecting some interesting thrills.
The story was overally pretty interesting. The drama did lag a little bit and included some cheesey romance, but I'm not mad. I didn't think this drama would have worked if it was 100% serious. Considering younger actors were cast for most of the main characters, it would was for the better that there was some romance.
I would recommend this drama as a political drama with some romance.
Spoiler-filled, no-edit writeup ahead.
