i didnt even know chen kun before, but i like him now. yu hou was the one character that unexpectedly managed…
i didnt think i'd get attached to him of all people when i was watching the first 4 episodes but then ep5 came and he just kept on giving. i thought he was finished in ep10 when he got stabbed (the way he pulled it out was incredible, it felt so real) but he stayed a while longer to stretch out the feels lol😭
its a satisfying conclusion to the journey if i dont poke at it but it really looks suspicious and ambiguous with the visuals of the wusu sea and the talks about nether sea😭 plus the way the showed the crossing of the carriage and the goodbye looks so much like a parting scene and death for miss zhang that im choosing to ignore it for an ending thats comparable to the gold we saw under the shifting sands.
Definitely, Xu Bing is my favourite director. I´ve already watched 4 of his dramas - he's the only one that managed…
i didnt even know chen kun before, but i like him now. yu hou was the one character that unexpectedly managed to get me emotional for his sake, im still a bit shocked.

indeed 🤜🤛 for me the last scene singlehandedly elevated the score. as for the colors and setting, i love the desert so the setting was great for me, the music was absolutely peak and a lot of the things felt like reading a manga or exploring a video game, in fact one of my fav manhuas of all times use a similar setting and styling so it was a familiar territory. but sometimes they did more than just the desert and sand colors and used a yellowish filter to make it more yellow, sometimes in not very yellow places even, which i didnt like.
fav character: bancha (give his bow back😭) fav acting: yu hou fav dynamic: coroner chi and officer pu fav scene: last ep starting from when the carriage start crossing them one by one to the ending, and the ep10 scene.

erm, i can tell you what someone said to me on another page about saying im gonna watch this next. it was "why remnants of gold, they look like they haven't bathed in days." which im sure makes a lot of sense since they are surrounded by water and swimming in it.
i think its just different audiences and mdl is saturated with the other kind. the only genre here that never seems to lack viewers no matter how bad it is happens to be romance. the other genres may or may not get viewers depending on the mood and season :DD
