Anyway I looked at their traditional Chinese timekeeping and the names, and I tried to convert to modern standard time that we use today

丑 chou = 1am
寅 yin = 3am
卯 mao = 5am
辰 chen = 7am
巳 si = 9am
午 wu = 11am
未 wei = 1pm
申 shen = 3pm
酉 you = 5pm
戌 xu = 7pm
亥 hai = 9pm
子 zi = 11pm

初 meaning 1st hour, 正 meaning 2nd hour

In the 1st episode the clock pointed 巳正, my guess would be the show's setting started somewhere from 10am onwards

I strongly recommend this series. I rarely recommend China dramas but I am hooked onto this after watching 2 episodes

Their background music is also mostly modern, very little Chinese traditional instruments played aside from the drums

This drama make many reference to 王忠嗣.

One of the greatest Chinese warrior.

安禄山 only dare to revoke after his death.

The 狼卫 trying to kidnap his daughter to force him to fight a war against the Arabs.

is it available in sg netfilx? i can't seems to find

Don't think so because airing rights have been acquired by StarHub.

For Netflix probably need to wait a while after StarHub has done the initial airing.

长安十二时辰 - The Longest Day In Chang'an

China just release a mega drama production based on novel set in the Tang Dynasty, looks awesome. Anyone heard anything about it coming to our TV screen?

It is said that the producers even made the armor worn by soldiers with metal, not some crap plastic prop. Production value is definitely really high, just like a movie set...
