SINGING ALL ALONG (Xiuli Jiangshan) was a fantastic historical show. It seems to be highly underrated as well. The opening credits, on the other hand, were less than great and I've heard people dropping this show for that reason alone. Please don't! Give this show a chance. It was so amazing and well-made, absolutely unforgettable. Although it took a few episodes to really pull me in, once I was hooked- I was really hooked. Such a great series. Once I had finished it, I am now looking to buy this for my personal C-drama collection for another rewatch (& many more). Hopefully I can find it available in the US. I think I really love how complex and mature this show felt. The writing, story and overall plot were all so great and rarely relied on drama clichés to keep it interesting. But for a few brief times, rarely did it feel sappy or melodramatic for that matter. It was super immersive. I love that the focus primarily was on world politics, military strategies, warfare tactics, district relations, moral causes, etc. Rather than merely relying on the romance factor too heavily. It gave the show a sense of realism. A very good balance. While there were definite themes of romance it never felt silly or immature. It was a great show for both/all genders. The casting was amazing. I loved so many characters. The characters of Yin Li Hua and Lui Xui / Wen Shu were so great. I loved Ruby Lin and Yuan Hong in this, as they were perfectly casted for the two main leads. The rest of cast was stellar as well. Overall I adored this series. It was unforgettable.
