GPDonghua
September 2, 2022
This donghua is a historical fantasy, wuxia type donghua. If you have watched Qin's Moon or Qin Shi Ming Yue, then this is the prequel to it. It is set in the 7 Kingdom Era, which is the era that predates the Qin Dynasty, the first dynasty to unite all of China (time period of Qin's Moon). This donghua, as a prequel features many familiar characters from the original series, telling the story of conflict that began the unification. This particular prequel features 2 MCs, Han Feng from the Han Empire and Li Si the future prime minister of the Qin Empire (more focus on HanFeng though). This particular story is about the formation of Quicksand, and Han Feng's ambition to take over the Han Kingdom and fight the be the master of the world (emerge victorious in the unification). This donghua has alot of political maneuvering, action/fights, "poetic" exchanges. It also features the signature animation style of Qin's Moon, especially the women, with swaying hips etc for the added sex appeal. This is quite a good watch, but is definitely hard to appreciate if you don't quite understand Chinese culture or history. I still would recommend this. While it is a prequel and features a host of well-known characters, it can stand on it's own and does not require any previous knowledge to enjoy.
