I thought so too. I’m like wot…… after all that, and that’s how he dies? Left me kind of baffled. I still…
I remembered that bit. Ah right, so it’s about taking out his army… ok, that kinda makes sense, but before he declared like he will help Zhang Hai….. he basically lied right? So he knew who the 3rd guy was all along? And he was already ZBW’s ally before he left the Capital?
I thought so too. I’m like wot…… after all that, and that’s how he dies? Left me kind of baffled. I still…
When did he decide to help Zhang Hai again? When he said ok, let’s destroy the seal? But then why did he lead Zhao BingWen to the entrance of the cave then? So actually all along he was lying to Zhang Hai and he is an ally of Zhao Bing Wen?
I thought so too. I’m like wot…… after all that, and that’s how he dies? Left me kind of baffled. I still…
Yea, I got that bit…. But it was still very……. Underwhelming. I mean as much as it was poetic justice, he never went through any suffering, unlike everyone else, be it the protagonists or antagonists…. Everyone suffered mentally, or physically, or both…
The third man didn't suffer enough in my book! But truly a great ending to this show! Legend of Zang Hai rates…
I thought so too. I’m like wot…… after all that, and that’s how he dies? Left me kind of baffled. I still think it would have been more fitting if he stabbed him with a dagger as a closing….
I want season 2 but more on exploring the origin of the zombie fighters and the first queen
That’s all from the original Daomu Biji plot… Actually even the hallucination from the mural is DMBJ’s common plot. This explores origins of it, also the ghost seal with the copper fish. https://kisskh.at/28695-the-lost-tomb-2
I think the original plan that Kennedy Xu had for this TV series was to actually expand on Wang Zhang Hai’s secrets and origins but the drama got bought over entirely shortly after they started producing it. It might be partially coz there is no original DMBJ novel specifically written on Wang Zhang Hai, so regardless an entirely new script/storyline must be produced.
This in a way is kinda painful to watch. Having similar character to Su Xiao albeit not as extreme, so many of the scenes, sub-plots, hit very close to home…. I also work for an inefficient MNC with a strong legacy and culture problem… funny thing is it’s actually listed…
The might have maintained the plot of Daomu Biji wrt that….. esp when they also revealed he has no sons…..…
He isn’t human…. It’s related to the Ghost Seal and the copper fish. But it’s actually meant for the DongXia kingdom though…. So I don’t know. It’s still a guess right now as to how much of the DMBJ plot they retained.
I wonder if they will follow the Ghost Seal plot from Daomu Biji…. I keep thinking they might because the Emperor…
lol. It’s very lengthy. Because it’s a series of novels. In the original novels the emperor isn’t human… I noticed MDL leaving the original ‘Fantasy’ genre tag… but if they are going with undead soldiers then they have kept the original plot of the Ghost Seal and copper fish so far.
I’m curious too so I went looking, he first appears in Ep.14…. I think the whole Love in Pavillion related arc is from Ep14 to 20…. So it’s probably somewhere there….
Super good, but it’s so difficult to find online…. Even raw without subs. I think one of the reasons it’s good it’s because they made it a Russia-China production, and most of it was shot in Russia itself. So that added a layer of realism… and it’s the first time I’ve seen like significant portion of the script + cast being Russian. It’s basically like 60% Chinese bits and 40% Russian bits… so basically I can’t understand 40% of it without subs…

Actually I was a bit confused about Zhuang Zhi Xing though.
This explores origins of it, also the ghost seal with the copper fish.

The summary of the Ghost Seal:
https://daomu-biji.fandom.com/wiki/Ghost_Seal
amazing co-production, glad they paired it with a healthy budget and solid cinematography…
Of course a seasoned cast, well executed and logical plot is a given…
Per MDL’s gauge this should be closer to a 8.5 if it was subbed.
Wish this would get subbed.
