Cao Cao is a Chinese television series based on the life of Cao Cao, a warlord who rose to power towards the end of the Eastern Han dynasty and laid the foundation for the state of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period. It aims to paint a more historically accurate image of Cao Cao, who is traditionally depicted as a villain in Chinese culture. The series, which starred Zhao Lixin as the eponymous character, was directed by Hu Mei and filmed at the Xiangshan Film City in Ningbo, Zhejiang, between 1 November 2011 and 15 March 2012.

Cao Cao has not been broadcast in China yet even though it was already released on DVD in Japan on 4 September 2013.[1][2][3] It also started airing on Channel Ginga in Japan on 5 January 2014, and on Chunghwa TV in South Korea from 6 October to 28 November 2014.
