One of this year’s best C-dramas is about…salt. Here’s an explainer on the salt trade and how it motivates the entire plot of “The Road to Splendor”. #cdrama #theroadtosplendor

Thoroughly impressed with “The Road to Splendor”, a rare show shot on location across a thousand miles of the old Silk Road. So refreshing to see real landscapes, in addition to a stellar cast and smart writing. #cdrama
