The Story Line
William Chan’s character fits very well and feels exactly like the role he played in The Mystic Nine. His portrayal is familiar and consistent, which I really enjoyed.
Joseph Zeng’s character is also interesting because his behaviour and mannerisms remind me a lot of his grandson, Wu Xie. However, this is where I started having problems with the story. The plot feels off and doesn’t seem to tally properly with the other stories in The Lost Tomb series.
The part that confused me most is Chen Pi A Si. His grudge with Er Yue Hong had already been settled in The Mystic Nine. Chen Pi was also the one whose actions led to Ya Tou’s death. On top of that, the story of how he became blind doesn’t seem to match the established storyline involving Xiao Ge (Zhang Qiling) and the treasure at Banai.
There are too many inconsistencies with the characters’ histories and the timeline.
Overall, the story is a mess. 😅 As someone who follows The Lost Tomb series, I find it difficult to connect this story with everything that was already established. The actors and characters may be enjoyable, but the storyline just doesn’t add up.
