God of War, Zhao Yun (Chinese: 武神赵子龙; 武神趙子龍; Wǔ Shén Zhào Zǐlóng; Korean: 무신조자룡), literally Martial Deity Zhao Zilong according to its Chinese title, is a 2016 Chinese historical drama television series directed by Cheng Lidong and produced by Zhejiang Yongle Entertainment Co., Ltd. The series starred cast members from mainland China, South Korea and Taiwan: Lin Gengxin, Im Yoon-ah, Kim Jeong-hoon, Jia Qing, Godfrey Gao, Guo Dongdong, Meng Ziyi, Nazha, Yan Yikuan, Zhao-Han Yingzi, Fan Yulin, Collin Chou and Sun Xiaoxiao. The story is loosely adapted from the 14th-century Chinese classical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, with Zhao Yun (Zhao Zilong) as the main character. It was first aired on Hunan TV from 3 April to 7 May 2016.
Zhao Zilong was a great military general who lived in the late Eastern Han dynasty and early Three Kingdoms period of China. With unparalleled fighting skills, courage and charisma, Zhao Zilong initially served Gongsun Zan but switched his allegiance to Liu Bei for the rest of his illustrious career as a member of the famous Five Tiger Generals. However, when he becomes embroiled in a love triangle with the beautiful Xiahou Qingyi and another great warrior, Gao Ze, will he discover that battles of the heart are the most dangerous of all?
The series started filming in 2014 and wrapped up in 2015. Some footage from the 2008–2009 film Red Cliff was reused for the Battle of Red Cliffs scenes. The series premiered in mainland China on 3 April 2016 on Hunan TV and ran for 60 episodes.
