Comparing the Old and New Three Kingdoms: Historical Figures Cough Up Blood

Jiang Ge transmigrates to a parallel world, where he compares iconic scenes from historical dramas and earns countless rewards as he visits dynasties throughout history.

From the start, he compares the new and old versions of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The Oath of the Peach Garden

New Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei look as if they're asleep, expressionless and listless as they recite their lines while swearing brotherhood.

Old Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei meet kindred spirits and are overcome with excitement, moved to tears as they pledge to become brothers in life and death, sharing honor and hardship in service of their country.

The Autumn Wind at Wuzhang Plains

New Three Kingdoms: Chancellor Zhuge, gravely ill, inspects the troops. The soldiers cry out excitedly, "Chancellor, mighty!"

Old Three Kingdoms: Chancellor Zhuge, gravely ill, inspects the troops. The soldiers weep and say, "Chancellor, take care!"

Then come more comparisons of iconic scenes, including the heroes' debate over wine, composing a poem while brandishing a spear, Zhuge Liang insulting Wang Lang, and Sima Yi in women's clothes.

The historical figures are all dumbfounded. What kind of nonsense is this new Three Kingdoms? None of them look the part! The old Three Kingdoms doesn't even look like acting. It's as if the real people are playing themselves, completely outshining the new version.
