If you don't know what Romance of the Three Kingdoms is about, you need to retake your history classes.

That's also depends on where you live also.

BTW, episode 14 & 15 are two great episodes. You should watch it even you're not fan of this show or even not watched a single episode.

Is that ever the truth.....in my high school history classes they ALWAYS skipped Asia, Africa after 1000, and South America after 1750-ish.

BTW - RotTK is a great series, kinda like LoGH, but with horses.

Any idea why it is called "Romance" other than saga/tell or something, cause it is nothing to do with love story whatsoever

Because as a genre, Romance (at least originally, but most people have no conception of this) does not mean love stories... I can't really be bothered to explain, it's much easier if you just look at the Wikipedia article on the subject. (Notice Romance of the Three Kingdoms is listed at the bottom.) If you're a Wikipedia hater, here's the appropriate definition from dictionary.com:

1. A long medieval narrative in prose or verse that tells of the adventures and heroic exploits of chivalric heroes: an Arthurian romance.
2. A long fictitious tale of heroes and extraordinary or mysterious events, usually set in a distant time or place.
3. The class of literature constituted by such tales.

Did everyone give up on this show? It is a lot interesting now those who are still wondering.

I'm very interested in ROTK(romance of three kingdoms) i play dynasty warriors and i even watch the chinese drama series and the anime. it really surprises me on how peoples' different points of view change what they think the historical figures' appearance is...check this out:

You should watch this other version..a three episode OVA with blonde Caocao and Chinese ninjas..with a complete distortion of the original story.It's so hilarious I still laugh when I think about it,yet I really loved it when I was like...9.

And just as a reminder..the ROTK TV anime is based on a 60 volume manga by the legendary Yokoyama Mitsuteru.The manga is much,much,much much better than the anime. (and it features my favourite Zhao Yun ever!)
