Yea. Ideally you should. There is some form of continuation.
Yea.. all of them were good. Jin Dong was not bad as Hu Bayi as well, quite fitting. Honestly I don’t really like Pan Yue Ming as Hu Bayi…. But I’ve never read the novels.

Actually wrath of time was the first one I watched. You could too. Then after that you can start with the one adapted from the first volume. I wouldn’t exactly call it a side story…. Kinda yes and no. Would say it is a prequel… like it is the beginning/origin of the entire novel…. Like the foundings of all the tomb raiding factions the novel was based on. Prior Hu BaYi was born.

Ooo same! Wrath of Time was my favourite out of all too. Vengo Gao was amazing there… it’s not really a side story right? It’s more like a prequel… like the beginning of the beginnings….
So the actors in the 1st one is completely different (the one based on the 1st volume)… But you should at least watch that to get an overall understanding of the whole novel…. After that I spse it “doesn’t matter”….. but I watched it in order because they retained the cast… and production crew… so the plot kinda “flows”.
Conceptually and fundamentally a very good idea…. And it had something unique to run with…. But the execution and elaboration totally failed….. the execution was kinda odd esp first 1/3 of the story… I couldn’t tell if they were trying to copy an American film or if it was trying to do a fusion….. was super weird. And they didn’t give the story a proper introduction to do that whole American kinda thing….
Scary bits could totally be improved…. But wasn’t entirely fail… just could tell was a newbie…
I was so pissed off with the ending.... They could of executed it in a way that Johnny plus the bad guys all win…
Hahahaha. I like your sentence “ If you want the audience to support the Police, make the bad guys uncharismstic & evil.... Make the good guys charismatic...” I’ve never thought of it that way but it is so true…
And that damn mansion is so nice… lol. I think it’s a hotel… I have nothing against Johnny Huang, but I find him to be a mediocre actor. Not bad, but not good either…. He has loadsa fans though…. I think it’s coz of the BL drama ages ago.
I actually thought the script was not bad though…. Well not the script, more of the plot was not bad. But then again I think I don’t hold any hope for C-dramas in this genre…… I’ve never watched Stealth Walker before…. Think I came across it, read the synopsis and it didn’t entice me….
I was so pissed off with the ending.... They could of executed it in a way that Johnny plus the bad guys all win…
Exactly! Tony Yang is really good though…. I mean his acting was just amazing. Esp the last scene… he managed to twitch his cheeks but he kept his gaze completely unfazed….. that is some crazy skill. Yea, Johnny Huang has the same expression in every series I’ve watched him in. 😒
Why did they make the ending so predictable. Damnit. I was like….. they definitely could have come up with some twist or something. It’s dumb. The whole series they put in so many twists…
If it was a K-series they would have not been bounded by all these regulatory restrictions. 🤦♀️
Ending was so predictable…….. Mainland will do everything to show that the law and the govt. trumps everything….. =.= though I admit the theme on nature vs. nurture was well played… they totally could have executed it better though
Yea it is but even the novel is quite mellow unlike Untamed with explicit scenes in the novel… I personally…
Yea! Totally… but they are also like probably a decade older and likely more experienced than the Untamed leads (just vaguely recalling from memory, reality could differ)…. That is a significant difference….
No Shitz. I was totally captivated by their chemistry….. like….. 😳. Also coz Simon Gong is very “foxy”….. he’s not exactly feminine but more of androgynous and he is tall!
it’s just really unfortunate on wot happened to Zhang Zhe Han after…. Poor dude. Really blown out of proportion….
Mr Gu is an alcoholic who drinks big amounts of alcohol everyday....and turns out to be so athetlic that he could…
Lol. I thought about that too… but he seems to be a high functioning alcoholic though…. I have met people like that in real life…. And they can do it until their body gives in one day, likely when they are older. Like >50yrs old..
He is truly a man with a strange appeal…. Far from wot I would describe as handsome or good looking but he just has this enigmatic charm… it’s crazy. And he is a damn good actor…
Super weird and odd drama that just caused me to have my eyes glued tight to the screen for the first few episodes. (I watched it with no expectations…., had no idea wot to expect…) I think one reason is that it’s so realistic and applicable to Asian families….
I do think many Asian families, low-middle class…. is like depicted…… and also how it reflects the struggles of the generation in the 27 to 40 yrs old range…. And how there is sucha huge gap in understanding and mentality between that generation and their parents…. Education, stability and how society is now mostly white collared workers…… is something very different versus back in the day…. It is depressing though, but I do believe a lot of people had similar thoughts at some point. I for one could totally relate to so many scenarios if I was dealt the same hands… the dialogues are so relatable….
And Son Seok Kyu… made Mr.Gu super duper charming and attractive although he is really not good looking…. 🤣
It’s amazing how Korean actors are all so consistent and capable/talented…. Esp all the minor and supporting roles…. Like they are so good. It’s crazy… Lee El was like a completely different person versus her role in Goblin…. She was drop dead gorgeous and badass there…. Even spooky and sexy all at the same time…. 😳
The ending is as weird as the whole TV series itself….. was just a very unexpected end… not bad and not good….
The Louis Litt equivalent for this was just so bad… and downright wrong…. The original series was just exceptional…. Season 8,9 might be a bit weak… but… this is a challenging remake. This Korean one was still worthy I spse…. Worth the watch but MDL’s score is totally reflective…

Might be going out on a limb here but this is probably one of the best Chinese movies I’ve watched…
