Romance of the Three Kingdoms: End
I've finally finished all 95 episodes of "Three Kingdoms"! Quite a feat, eh? My curiosity has been satisfied. Nearly everyone died and still things were not settled. Watching it is much better than reading the translated version online. Couldn't make heads or tails of things due to the archaic presentation. Here are some funny observations from the series:
But the part about coughing blood is accurate. Apparently it features in the text. On to my next series, "倚天屠龙记"!
P.S.: ChatMate is now watching the series. See whether he can add on anything.
- Loss, failure, anger and regret can cause totally healthy men to cough up blood and die (thumbs up!)
- If after they cough up blood and NOT die, their hair turns white overnight(thumbs up!)
- In the 3800 minutes of screen time, I think less than 60 minutes were dedicated to the female characters
- Generals can down 10 foot soldiers with one swoop of the halberd

And chinese movies and dramas only teach us to "pou sau"/take revenge. Not healthy at all kan?!
