IMHO, this show is watchable if you like big scenes and some of the lead actors & actresses...

Best part of the show, I think, is the "borrow arrow" portion.

Second best to me, would be the battle scene.

Worst parts: 1) The Red Cliff battle was supposed to be one of the most important battles in the history of the three kingdoms. It involved a large number of generals and advisers; tactics, tricks and skills. Unfortunately, this show does not display sufficiently.

2) Zhou Yu knowing Zhuge being as smart/smarter than him, and serving Liu Bei, would definitely be great threat to Sun Quan; would definitely find ways to either kill him or withhold him.

3) After so much effort to trap Cao Cao, how would Zhou and gang so easily let him go (Zhou even wanted to locate Cao before his own wife)?!! "Return the tiger to his mountain"
