This movie is a masterpiece, the battle scenes are epic and in particular, the choreography of the Yinyang/Tortoise formation was awesome and the high expectation for the final battle is something to look forward to but that will be in the second part of the movie. I loved all the war scenes in both movie.
The overall plot of the Red Cliff saga is similar to the American movie Troy, a host of invading army lead by an ambitious but love struck general will try to conquer 2/3 of China because of a girl. This first part covers the forming of the alliance of the 2 neighboring countries, and shows of human frailties and strengths of the defending leaders.
The cast were likewise outstanding, especially Takeshi Kaneshiro as the strategist who have a little knowledge of a lot of things.
Rewatch value is 10, well worthy of a second viewing.

The plot is a typical spy/romance story but the twists and turns kept me hooked right up to the end. There are parts where I just thought... "What the heck just happened?"
The actors did a very good job, especially the handsome and talented Lee Jun Ki, the only reason why I started watching this drama in the first place; he really did an excellent job here.
The music varied from rap to classic, and an essential part of the drama.
Rewatch value is also 10 because after I finished watching this drama the first time, I said to myself, "that was excellent!" and felt the need to watch it again immediately, in case I was wrong, i wasn't!

The plot is a Robinhood style drama, rob from the rich and help the poor and lots more. This drama will make you cry, laugh, feel hate for all authorities/people in power and much more!
All the casts did an amazing job and they should all have gotten an award.
Music, also excellent and in tune with this period drama.
I give the Rewatch value 10 also, because this is a really amazing drama!
Overall, I could have given it a 10 but for the ending, I do not like open ending!
