Luxi Posted February 17, 2025 at 12:02 PM Report Posted February 17, 2025 at 12:02 PM These are my favourites 大明王朝1566 / Ming Dynasty 1566 With clear Chinese subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awHPt_9CSOQ Very good English subs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyED3III7lHMXbM4pd-YX6VW1JBkm4e0V Notes and commentaries in Vick's blog: Chinese Shows Translated https://dinnermonologues.wordpress.com/category/chinese-shows-translated/ming-dynasty-1566/?order=asc "Towards the Republic" (走向共和) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyED3III7lHOzIHI2uLjXoX1ex_7e2l6f Chinese and English subs Additional commentary: https://dinnermonologues.wordpress.com/category/chinese-shows-translated/towards-the-republic/?order=asc Netflix has "King's War" (2012, 80 episodes) on the Chu-Han Contention, this series follows Sima Qian almost textually https://www.netflix.com/search?q=King's war&jbv=80160391 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King's_War My all time fav: Three Kingdoms (2010) with Jiang Hu English subs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdzVMyamsD8&list=PL6FCjiISUl3jJYFrcZOQNltf4RxZABcHG I just noticed you posted on this subject before and recommended Three Kingdoms 2010 too I think the older series (?2008) may follow the novel more closely, but I much prefer the acting in the 2010 series. 3 Quote
