Legend of Guan Gong
Mandarin, English Subtitles
28 episodes, 6 discs
Rainy Day watched the first 3 episodes, and decided to put off watching the rest of disc 1, or any of disc two. The costuming, etc., were great, but the episodes seemed a tad slow. Where there were swordfights (taking place in roughly 200 CE there best not be guns), and the fights were beautifully choreographed, the story was slow. Perhaps, if Rainy Day watched one episode a day...? She may try them again, but thinks she will look for the book, Romance of the Three Kingdoms in English instead. this is an historical novel/movie and Guan Gong or Guan Yu has become deified as a God of War in the Chinese pantheon of Gods, and is still worshipped today. Because she did not watch the whole of it, or even the majority, Rainy Day has not rated it.
