A hilarious 12 episode jorney thru the Tang dynasty
The comedy of this donghua is so simple yet so effective, there wasn't one episode where i didn't find myself in fits of laughter... probably wasn't that wise of me to binge this at 3 in the morning
Though there is an underlying plot which connects the whole series, it feels very episodic, with each episode telling it's own little story of ancient chinese slice of life with a pinch of insanity
Every time things start to feel too serious and brooding you get thrown right back into hysteria at the most unexpected times
But most of all, even with it's light and comedic tone it still manages to pull at your heartstrings
The post-credit scenes illustrating little snippets of Tang dynasty culture are a very nice touch

It's actually a cat. Well not really. It's a human-cat, or is it a cat-human.

First the story starts with a man called Chen who has just arrived at LuoYang the ancient Capital of the Tang Dynasty, and ends up getting a job at the LiShi (Affairs Bureau) and his first task is to man the prison cells, this is where we meet a number of the key characters, like Ali baba one of the few Foreigners who managed to obtain a Tang Official position, and Adminisitrator Li who is for so unknown reason a Man cat.
The Show covers the day to day running of the Li Shi Office, and the culture of the Tang Dynasty in the later years under the rule of China's first Empress. This is also the period that had a large influence on Japanese Culture and religious developments.
Its a mix o…
