Actually i also don't get it.. why is ML dad rather hold on to the artifact than saving his family life? Like…
The Marquis was going to k!ll them regardless. The Marquis didn't want others to know about the artefact and the dad and his family would have been a liability. So, he decided to take it to the grave and not give the Marquis the satisfaction.
Wdym? Only 2 people know and they’re now his allies. This is good. 😁
I would agree if both reveals were pointless. But they’re not. They set up the drama for future conflict. Now moving forward viewers will be worried about when it comes back to bite him in the butt. That adds tension. It doesn’t take anything away from the drama. Instead it adds to it.

Agree to disagree. I think a drama with no stakes is boring. There’s no way that scar wasn’t gonna come back to bite him in the butt. That’s the whole point of him getting the scar to begin with. Otherwise, what are the stakes?

Well he purposely showed his friend to save his own life. The 2nd prince finding out was the one that really took him by surprise. But, in the end, he has become a temporary ally. ZH will use him to his advantage. What happens after will depend on the choices Zang Hai makes. It raises the stakes. So I like this new development.
I came across this post from a netizen on Chinese sns: “This is the true path of an ordinary people’s revenge. There are not many noble people who meet you, appreciate you, trust you, and promote you. You can only rely on your wisdom. There is no golden hand, no God’s perspective. If you make a mistake, your life will be in danger. Every step is thrilling. If you want to climb up, there will be people below holding you back, and people above will step on you.”
Zang Hai is an ordinary man. He can’t tell the future, he has no powerful backing, he doesn’t know how to fight he is still really young. Every step he takes is full of danger and we the audience are supposed to experience that danger with him. That’s the whole point of this play. If you expect Zang Hai to get everything right from the beginning your missing the entire point of the drama.
Reading comments, I think it is a bit unfair to compare ZHZ to NIF and JOL, well, the similarity only three are…
I haven't watched NIF. But from the info I've gathered the ML has a huge advantage and a lot of support from powerful characters. Zang Hai is poor with zero backing and is a character that actually has to get his hands dirty. From what I gathered the only common aspects are revenge and political conflict. But to be fair all these revenge adaptations borrow from The Count of Monte Cristo so there will be some common themes. Personally, The Legend of Zang Hai is more my cup of tea because I love that he's the undergo.
Please check out this edit of Xiao Zhan characters running. They did Zang Hai dirty. I am in tears. 🤣 https://x.com/sainthouse1980/status/1925460720097140903?s=46 On a more serious note, I love how each run is different for each character. Xiao Zhan is such a genius actor.
I've been a fan of Xiao Zhan since 2020 and I've loved all of his works. But this drama has completely consumed me in a way I didn't think was possible. I can't even concentrate at work. I'm obsessed.
This drama and this character are quickly becoming my favorites! I love how funny and cute Xiao Zhan is when he's Zhinu and how scary and cunning he is when he's Zang Hai. I love watching his many expressions. Like when he shows the dangerous anger behind his eyes when he's giving a fake smile. Xiao Zhan is so GREAT in this role. I could watch this drama forever.
I loved episode 12. The scenes between Zang Hai and the Zhi Xing were fantastic! Based on the trailers for episode 13 & 14, looks like more people are coming after Zang Hai. My nerves can't take it. Also, looks like we will get more scenes between Zang Hai and An Tu. Looking forward to that as well.
I'm glad that Zang Hai's character is well written. He's not super smart, courageous, super powerful kinda person.🥹…
Kind of disagree. Zang Hai is super smart. He's quick on his feet. The problem is he doesn't know people very well, so some plans encounter obstacles. But he always finds a way out. I think he's still in the early stages of becoming a master chess player. He'll get there soon and I'm really looking forward to it.
The scene between Zang Hai and the 2nd prince was so tense. I did not blink with fear of what would happen. I'm really enjoying their scenes together. The prince is not as dumb as he looks. lol. And I love how we could see Zang Hai's brain moving quick trying to find an out. I loved the tension.

Xiao Zhan really transformed himself into this character. He saw how the child actor cried so he had adult Zhinu cry the same way.
Thank God we got Zheng Xiaolong.
