I expected The Wind Blows From Longxi (风起陇西) to be a long-winded saga. Thus, I was actually surprised when I found out that it only has 24 episodes in total. After all, the story is written by Ma Bo Yong who is also the author of Luoyang which has 39 episodes.

The Imperial Coroner (御赐小仵作) does not have any big names among its cast but don't let that stop you from watching. In fact, I think this is a rarity among the large number of Chinese dramas that get released all year round. I'm actually surprised by its quality as I had expected it to be an average drama that will be littered with boring stretches throughout. But a nice … [Read more...] about The Imperial Coroner Review
