I just finished this drama a minute ago & it was great. I don't normally like tomb raiding, ghost or supernatural elements, & I knew absolutely nothing about geomancy before now, but the politics & revenge kept me going, & the fight scenes were just so delicious. The costumes and sets were really good, too. I think it deserves a 9-9.5 rating. The OSTs were really good, too, I'm already into them. This is my 1st time seeing the ML, but I was totally impressed by his acting skills, not to mention how good looking he is. There times when he seemed totally helpless, which showed that he wasn't some super, all-capable person, which made him more relatable. FL too did great, I saw her in Blossoms in Adversity just before watching Zang Hai, she's so pretty. I would most def recommend this drama, it is really in a class of its own.
My 1st comment on MDL! I love everything about this show except that stupid, selfish, obsessive, cowardly, thieving idiotic emperor! He totally ruined it for me, I was so annoyed at ep 38😒. Not even Haoyue was annoying, cos she had genuine reasons to hold a grude. I watched Prisoner of Beauty shortly before this, & I am glad the quality of this show didn’t disappoint. But I noticed they didn't bow & greet as much here as in other shows, is that normal? Or have I watched too much Kdramas? I wish the leads had more romantic kiss scenes, though. I liked the chemistry between Shaoyao & Shen Huan, & i can overlook d foolishness of the Hua women, especially that Qin Ergui concubine. Although they often seemed brainless & just made a lot of noise like birds. I like the cute little 6th who took over the throne, his acting was excellent. The fight scenes and stunts were really, really cool! I love how they didn’t overdo it with fake flying & jumping, which is totally off-putting. Gu Yanxi looked so cool in all his fight scenes. On one hand, I liked that Hua Zhi was the one saving others rather than be a damsel-in-distress, but on the other hand, she seemed to rush into things rather too overconfidently. I like that they all overturned the existing rules & norms, giving the women freedom to be more of themselves & support pillars to each other. I love the closing theme,the children's song was really cute. Where can I find the instrumental osts? I'd rate this a 9.
