Sorry but I found this to be the worst TV adaptation out of the whole Daomu Biji series…. Epic fail.
Also can’t believe they actually changed 40% of the main cast when the story is literally a direct/explicit continuation from the ending (like last 5 episodes overlaps in a way) of Lost Tomb 2. They even changed the ML, like the actor is so so different from Neo Hou… wth. Mainland dramas are super crazy at times….. seriously.
No offence to the ML actor I’ve never seen his other works but he REALLY is unsuitable to play Wu Xie, he’s therefore the worst casting out of all the TV adaptations.
A lot of people says that it's not good, boring, etc... I watched this more than a year ago, but this is my favourite…
Reunion was my most favourite one out of all actually… mainly because of the execution, acting/cast and production! Loved it. This was the only one where I feel everything flows smoothly and no editing issues at all.
The actor was, but he was playing a different role in the other series… in that series he was from the Wang…
Lol. Yeap, I seriously don’t know why C-dramas do that. It’s only dramas produced in the Mainland that do this. Geez… I mean I get the whole contractual issues and schedule clash but it’s still dumb… Imagine like Iron Man changing actors every sequel/prequel…. Ridiculous.
I agree. Nothing against Edward Zhang (he's a good actor), but I just can't see him as Wu Xie (especially since…
Not only that…. They do this whole annoying thing (happens with other C-dramas too) that he was the same actor that played Wu Lao Go in The Mystic Nine…. How dumb and confusing is that…
At first, I thought Liang Wan would be crucial for the plot, so I never skipped her scenes for the first few episodes,…
Lol. I don’t like her either, could likely be the actress that portrayed her role didn’t exactly fit well/naturally. I was just so annoyed at her the entire series I skipped all of it. Like she has this face and physique which is too cutesy… and just her being in the tomb was weird. Even weirder with Zhang Ri Shan.
This series is so different compared to the other Daomu Biji novels…. Mainly because of the whole Li Cu arc… I’m still sad it ended, but not entirely sure how I feel about the whole Sand Sea plots and subplots.. it’s defo super intriguing to find “9 Doors” people interacting closely with “normal people”… but all in all it left me feeling ambivalent though defo no regrets on watching it.

I know… I don’t know why C-dramas do that. I personally find it dumb and confusing. Like how main leads can change actors and how like they inter-swap actors between roles for something that is considered the same story. How dumb is that….
i wonder if the series is going have the 8 volume made into a drama. i hope so!
Do they have a volume 8 in novels already? Is it under the whole “Restart”/Chong Qi series? But I read in the comments below that this one was the last novel.
The last 3 episodes was a serious mess…. Wot the hell, ruined the whole series… why was the editing so horrendous for the ending. Like completely random scenes glued together… the whole series was so great and exciting until the end. Totally ruined my re-watching experience…. I forgot it was so random, probably the worst editing I’ve seen in dramas and it happened so randomly at the end of the drama.
Can anyone shed light on the actual novel? Apparently it’s incomplete.
Watched it on gimy. But I realised it’s actually pretty low definition…. You should prob wait a bit. It isn’t the worst but I think it’s recorded in a cinema and they edited it so it wasn’t obvious.
I watched it without subs, was amazing. Very unique storyline… and both the child and Zhu Yi Long have amazing acting capabilities…. And they have pretty good chemistry. Esp the child actress…
Love this…. Watched it twice I still find it amazing. It’s perfect. Only sad that it is kinda short. I want more!! Totally don’t understand why the ratings are so low. I find this on the same level as Reunion: Sound of Providence.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Am on repeat but still find some characters like NanGong PuShe superbly alluring and elegant… seriously the only complaint I have is the actress casted for Jiang Ni just doesn’t sit well… she can act etc…. Just she and the ML looks damn weird and I totally can’t tell she is a “fallen” princess…. She doesn’t need to be a beauty, but just the whole aura and room presence is like….. uhhhh very forceful… just wrong.
Just finished reading the novel….. the TV series is much better but there could have been more tweaks here and…
Wouldn’t consider them to be a lot, more than the novel… in the original novel it was superb little. So even in the drama it is noticeably less than other dramas because that is just how the original story is. And in a way it kinda makes sense because he is a pretty active General that goes to war etc. but they are really very sweet though, at least I think the main leads have very good chemistry… but that’s just me.
