Three Kingdoms (2010) - is it possible to fall in love with a drama starting 2 minutes in?

I believe so, because I am barely past the opening credits of the first episode of the 2010 adaptation of Three Kingdoms, the 95-ep (!!!!) adaptation of the 14th century Chinese classic (which Mousie has just obtained for her kindle btw). JiangHu has subbed 30+ eps so far and is actively working on it.

Three Kingdoms is (to quote wikipedia) "based on the events in the turbulent years near the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history, starting in 169 and ending with the reunification of the land in 280."

It has a ginormous cast, a lot of politics and battles. It looks beyond epic. Have a general MV:

Fair warning, not a lot of romance, for obvious reasons. That doesn't bother me, but MMV. Though what little is there, seems to be made exactly to my specs, see below. (I ship them already and I have no idea who they are whatsoever!!!!)

Oh, and alexandral, Peter Ho is in this one.

*buckles down to a new obsession*

I've also been reading comments to random clips/character MVs to this on youtube and most of them seem to be fanboys/fangirls vehemently arguing which guy is the better fighter. Sample "Such-and-such didn't die when he got beheaded. He's tough enough to grow a new head" (paraphrase). LOL. I kinda love it.
