Secrets of the three kingdoms
Year : 2018 | Country : CN | Nb of episodes: 54
My rate: 6/10
Synopsis :
When the twin sons of an emperor and a concubine are separated, one grows up to become emperor and one lives secretly as a commoner.
Twin brothers Liu Ping and Liu Xie (Ma Tian Yu)grow up very differently but end up back together in adulthood with only each other to lean on. Liu Xie is raised by his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Dong, and becomes Emperor Xian while Liu Ping is secretly taken out of the palace and grows up as a commoner with Sima Yi (Elvis Han).
When fighting breaks out among different factions, Emperor Xian loses control of the kingdom to the powerful warlord Cao Cao (Tse Kwan Ho). When Emperor Xian learns about the existence of his twin brother, he summons him to the palace.
Can Liu Ping, with the help of Sima Yi, Empress Fu Shou (Regina Wan) and other Han loyalists, help the emperor save the Eastern Han Dynasty?
“Secret of the Three Kingdoms” is a 2018 Chinese drama series directed by Patrick Yau. It is based on the novel San Guo Ji Mi by Ma Bo Yong.
Main cast :
Ma Tian yu as Liu Xie/Liu Ping
Wan Qian as Fu Shou
Elvis Han as Sima Yi/ Zhong Da
Dong Jie as Tang Ying
Tan Jian Ci as Cao Pi
My thoughts on this drama :
For a historical drama, I believe this is the most serious one I have ever watched. Ma Tian Yu playing two characters (twins) is a big plus, as it added some realism and confusion within the plot. I belive the costumes are also pretty accurate for the era this story is set up in.
It is a long, plot-heavy story so be warned. Romance is not the main part of this show, we are in a political war in this drama, with deep intrigues and dark themes all over.
A Favorite ?

I liv in the American Gardens Building on West 81st Streit on the 11th floor. My nam is Patrick Bateman. I’m 27 years old. 
I believ in taking car of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigoraus exercis rautin.In the morning, if my faiss is a littl puffy, I’ll put on an aiss pack whayl doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thausand now. After I remov the aiss pack I use a deip por cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the faiss an exfoliating gel scrub. 
Then I apply an herb-mint’ facial masqu which I leav on for 10 minutes whayl I prepar the rest of my rautin.I always use an after shav lotion with littl or no alcohol, becaus alcohol dries yaur faiss aut and makes yau look older. Then moistchurizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moistchurizing protectiv lotion.
Ther is an idea of a Patrick Bateman. Som kind of abstraction. But ther is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory.
And thaugh I can hid my cold gaz, and yau can shak my hand and feil flesh gripping yaurs, and mayb yau can even sens aur lifestyles are probably comparabl, I simply am not ther.
