The latest TV adaptation of "Three Kingdoms" is on
Jiangsu and Chongqing StarTV, as well as on NHK in Japan. The show
has had high rankings ever since its first broadcast.
Interestingly, the series has also been the target of many ironic
comments. Let’s examine some of the latest hot topics about "Three
Kingdoms":
Only 10 Secs for "Taking Oath in
the Peach Garden”
The story of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei
taking Oath in the Peach Garden takes only ten seconds. This is
satirized by the audiences: “Even quicker than Cao
Cao’s toilet break, you must be kidding me! Now it's the tail
wagging the dog!”
The Villain Cao Cao Becomes the
Leading Role
The first three episodes are
like Cao Cao’s monodrama. This is taken to be misleading to
otherwise uninformed youth.
Diao Chan is not That
Pretty
Diao Chan is known as one of the four beauties in
Ancient China. However, the actress who plays Diao Chan was rebuked
for her homely appearance.
Despite all these criticisms, the new "Three
Kingdoms" is still worth watching. Do not worry if you
miss the first round live show, it will be available online later
on. If you can’t wait for the televisions series to be released you
might try Three Kingdoms Online, a game that’s taking over the SLG
scene these days. It is run by Koramgame, based on the warring era
of Three Kingdoms, you can raise troops, develop cities, explore
the epic cities and recruit epic heroes. King of the Hill is my
favorite event: you can get great rewards and collect taxes on the
other cities. It is also nice to have a league in which brotherhood
is treasured. I strongly recommend it to you! I think Three
Kingdoms Online is now available in English, for all those
non-chinese speakers out there.
