I wish it was seasonal. Wasn’t an open ending, the closed it BUT would still totally work as seasonal…
1. No love triangle at all 2. Uhhhhh depends which leads, can’t remember the exact episodes but pretty late in the series. Like around episode 10. 3. No, none…. 4. Yeap.
Uhh, your questions are a bit odd for this drama though…. It isn’t exactly the typical romance series. I mean there is a very touching one at the end…. But the main theme isn’t actually about the couples getting tog…. 🤔 it’s quite a unique series, difficult to describe… but there aren’t many like heart wrenching, fluttering moments like the typical romance series…. It completely isn’t the focus of the series at all… it’s basically closer to the genres they tagged above in the Details section, there isn’t even Romance mentioned….
This was surprisingly quite good. They were quite smart to keep it short at 8 episodes… it’s not like a hit but worth the watch at least… and it is quite exciting+engaging…
Yea. Ideally you should. There is some form of continuation.
Hahaha. Yes, it took me quite a while to realise that both the series have a Fatty… I was so confused coz I watched like Candle in the Tomb in random order….. and I was like Shitz. No wonder I got confused.
Yea, so the thing about Candle in the Tomb is the main plot is quite straightforward…. It is basically like Indiana Jones storyline but for tomb raiding. It’s mostly about trying to lift the curse. So there arent any “grey” elements unlike Daomu Biji whereby there are borderline plots I.e open-ended questions on some of the characters on whether they are fully human (I believe this is so it doesn’t get censored/banned in Mainland)…. And the plots are a lot more complicated and convoluted with no true main plot.
Damn… this was really good… and kudos to the scriptwriter… the dialogues and also a lot of the scenarios were very realistic… regardless of ones’ sexual preferences…
Geez. Ji Jin Hee was good in this role man…. He basically nailed it and he even looks the part…. I watched because of Son Seok Kyu….. also really liked his role here… kinda cute and silly at times. Lol.
I’m surprised the plot and the execution was really solid… it’s actually comparable to the American version unlike the Korean Suits… I really hope there is a Season 2 for this one..
Yea. Ideally you should. There is some form of continuation.
No worries…but defo watch the Jin Dong one first. And if you really have a lot of time watch the Wrath of Time one as the very first then only do the Jin Dong one… coz as much as I already have some form of background…. it was a bit all over the place for me coz I ended up watching all of them in a random order…. And I ended up watching the Jin Dong one like recently… 🤣 and I was like thinking to myself. … Ohhhh… I see… why didn’t MDL link them…. Damnit. 😒
Yea. Ideally you should. There is some form of continuation.
I have no idea why MDL refuses to link up all the Candle in the Tomb series. They did it for Daomu Biji but I submitted a request for them to link it up but they just refused it. They gave like a really vague explanation on why they rejected it.
So basically you have to look for it on your own. I think they’ve adapted until the 7th volume for TV series already. With 5th and 6th not released yet I think…
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.
Yea. Ideally you should. There is some form of continuation.
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.
Yea. Ideally you should. There is some form of continuation.
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”.
