I'm finally finished!! This was a long ride. Overall, this show was not perfect, but it was entertaining and it gave me another perspective on the historical figures of those times, from the point of view of the Sima clan.
I would recommend part 2 of this series as a supplement to those who are interested in the Three Kingdoms story. However, I would caution that this drama does not attempt to challenge the viewer to think about Sima Yi as anybody other than a great strategist. He was such a man, but Sima Yi had a big attitude change near the end of the series that I felt the writers could've taken advantage of to challenge the idolization of historical figures.
That's just me nitpicking though. In general, I thought the Advisors Alliance was good for some popcorn time viewing, but I thought that part 1 was more interesting than part 2. I'll talk about it more below the cut.
Spoilers. And this is going to be another no-edit review ^^;;
P.S. My review of Part 1 of the Advisors Alliance is here.
