Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

The Jin Wu Wei were elite imperial guards during the Tang Dynasty, essentially the emperor's Secret Service with better outfits.

Trivia

Du Junze reportedly trained for three months in historical martial arts for the role, then barely used them because the director wanted 'detective brain over brawn.'
