I had heard about Rot3K primarily through early Nintendo games. Thank you for explaining it in a more brief and concise format (as opposed to your recent post on the original LOTR).
I’m guessing my LOTR post wasn’t a favourite of yours? lol I usually do LOTR as this stack is about Fantasy & Medieval lit.
That said, I plan to continue to do write-ups like this of Chinese history, Japanese history and Korean, and their epic novels and poems right alongside the Homeric & Virgilian epics and the Medieval epics of Europe. I love this stuff a lot more than doing pop culture essays.
My first exposure to the Three Kingdoms setting was through John Woo's epic film Red Cliff.
I’ve a copy of the movie but yet to watch it, how is it?
My first exposure was the book (parts of it at least) then Dynasty Warriors 7 and then I read all about the history. I love it.
It's quite good! I'd highly recommend it. It takes some liberties with the source material, but it's a solid war film, well presented.
Okay I’ll watch it then!

It wasn’t a bad article, but it was way too long for a single posting. Putting it into parts when it’s that long would help a lot.
Fair point, I’ll bear that in mind for the future.
