Okay, good to know they won't be there the entire time, they make me very angry as well! Are they really staining the show for half of it, though? Because I want to murder them every time I see their condescending little faces. I can't wait for Hei Ye to appear, he's a lot of fun in the Reboot (except when he's being stupid for plot convenience).

ZYL does have a baby face ^^ I like TotS Wu Xie, too, but I really dislike pretty much every other character, and especially the way they all treat him. They exploit him and his knowledge, don't listen to his instructions, then have the gall to threaten and blame him when surprise! things go wrong. Seriously. I haven't seen Hei Ye yet, unfortunately, but I can't wait for him to come in. And for someone to treat WX the way he deserves, gah!
And wow, watching everything from the beginning? You've got guts, my friend! I don't think I could ever do that. Or, well. Not in one run, I guess. My brain needs variety :D

Woohoo, well, that's an answer to THE big question of the reboot, then! I'm very relieved. And so very happy there will be more, because as ridiculous as it is, this series is a lot of fun. Thanks for the info!

Yes, I think I remember seeing that somewhere, but it's a mistake. MDL can get super confusing sometimes. The Lost Tomb 3 is only listed on the page of The Lost Tomb 2, under the name The Lost Tomb 3: Ultimate Chronicles, and picks up right where TLT2 left off, I think. I'm not sure when we can expect it, I guess 2021? Hopefully :D https://kisskh.at/51397-final-chronicles

No, I didn't. I wrote that The Lost Tomb 3, which hasn't aired yet, takes place between The Lost Tomb 2 and Tomb of the Sea, which it does. The Lost Tomb Reboot, aka Reunion: The Sound of the Providence, is a completely different show, it's not The Lost Tomb 3.

I know, I'm just not sure why you're explaining that to me?

...sure?

It's not a love triangle. Gong Que is interested in him, sure, but he never cottons on to it, and makes it clear anyway that he's in love with somebody else, which she respects. She's also not there a lot, only a few episodes.

Exactly!!

I thought he might be around episode 4 or so, I think.

IKR!! And his backstory must be SO interesting!!

NEVER

Hm, I was spoiled about that a while ago so I don't mind even if I'm only at episode 20, but I think you'd better put that under the spoiler tag. Also, my previous answer only applied to the arranged marriage thing, but so far all problems have been resolved quickly, so I'm pretty sure they'll be fine within the next 2 episodes :)

I'm pretty sure I saw it bite her before it choked her.

Nah, he's just another victim of the Wu Xie Effect XDD

Yes, it's resolved pretty quickly.

Hullo! Sorry haha my comment about TLT2 was for Xue Yin XD I enjoyed season 2 a lot personally, but I completely understand it’s not everybody’s flavor, and I have to agree that it has a lot of flaws.

Re: Tomb of the Sea, I’m clearly only there for Wu Xie, as well. He’s such a fantastic character. I just got the feeling from your comment that you were disappointed because Wu Xie had aged and his personality had changed so I thought I’d try to explain (it’s difficult to know what people do or don’t know about this series since it’s so complex). I guess I'll have to see if Li Cu takes too much space or not, but I'm not above fast-forwarding Wu-Xie-less scenes.

I see now that we have very different drama-watching habits: I usually give a show 4 episodes before seeing if I’ll go forward or not, unless it really doesn’t work for me like The Golden Eyes. But I completely understand why episode 1 of TotS wouldn’t work for you. It didn’t for me either, tbh. But Wu Xie baited me into continuing XD

Wu Xie's different because it's been almost 10 years since the first instalments of The Lost Tomb, and Xiao Ge went missing (or sacrificed himself for he and PZ, I'm not quite sure). So he's jaded and tired and older (and heartbroken). But he's still Wu Xie at his core, and I'm sure it'll show.

I think you're missing out on The Lost Tomb 2: the production quality was infinitely better than the first season, the cast was very good, and the PingXie was top notch. It also started to go a little into Xiao Ge's backstory.
There were draggy parts, but the characters and the Iron Triangle dynamics more than made up for that imo. It had its faults, of course (this entire series does, tbh), but it was still a very enjoyable ride, and I personally had a lot of fun watching it.
Also, I think The Lost Tomb 3 will pick up directly where The Lost Tomb 2 left off, so you might be confused if you start watching it without having seen that one.

Regarding your question about Pan Zi. There's actually Pan Zi, who's Wu Sanxing's assistant/friend/colleague, and Pang Zi's, Wu Xie's friend who nicknames himself Fatty Wang. I was confused about it at first, too, but they're not the same person.

No, if you want to watch chronologically, you'd have to watch Mystic Nine first since it takes place 50 years before The Lost Tomb.

Then The Lost Tomb, The Lost Tomb 2, Tomb of the Sea, and The Lost Tomb Reboot. All with the same characters (Wu Xie, Xiao Ge, Pang Zi, Wu Sanxing, etc.) but always with a different cast.

The Lost Tomb 3 is in production right now, and takes place between The Lost Tomb 2 and Tomb of the Sea.

It really does! And probably a sad ending, too... I love Cheng Yi, but I think I'll wait until it's done and see what reviewers have to say about it.
