Not lacking I would say, they just met so it will get stronger in coming parts.
Excuse Me, Miss, I get your point, and I am aware of the scenes I mentioned don't exist in the actual novel but only dmbj drama adaptations, so what was your point in lecturing all of that above,.....let me make sure, I am not gay fetishizer, who would expect erotic tension between two guys in guise of bromance ...I purely meant it to refer their interaction as bro bro friendship.....and it's not wrong to expect the intensity of brromance increased in comparison to the novel....I don't know how it offend you or rubbed you the wrong way...but most drama adaptations are never faithful to the original source novel...whether it's romance or bromance subplot or main plot , most of the time, it is intensified in the drama adaptations than what is expressed in the written novel ....and once you have already witnessed the greater degree of friendship, you would definitely expect it somewhere or the other point in a remake coz you have seen it previously and I did feel it as them censoring the content because there are reuters which show those scenes were shot but ultimately got cut down...so it's not wrong to present your frustration over it.....I too prefer the drama because of the adventure plot and not solely because of bromance but since it is the subplot so I would obviously expect it to be there since it existed fairly enough in previous adaptations and like I mentioned the creators always intensify the relationship dynamics between the main or leading characters than the novel so expecting it in this drama is not a trangression of any fundamental human right, is it??
Why are you so eager to clash on before knowing the crux of what I meant?
Not lacking I would say, they just met so it will get stronger in coming parts.
But , I guess they cut down on many scenes that might have been shot.....to begin with TLT 1& 2 had lots of bromance scenes which weren't included in this drama for eg:- wuxie goes to deliver food to Xiao ge after they came out of the cave in his first adventure, then later on inside the ship, there is a scene where wuxie get wounded while fighting the sea monkey and xiao ge puts bandaid on his hand, there is also a scene where wuxie check on xiaoge's hand that has marks left by the little white monster coming out from the tummy of 12 armed woman , there is another scene where wuxie falls while putting Wang Zang Hai corpse on the ceiling and xiaoge catches him, Another scene shown in the reuters, that wuxie and xiaoge filmed after wuxie wakes up after the underwater scene where xiaoge save him.... But that scene is nowhere found in the drama.... And I also feel that like this they deleted alot of scenes because originally the drama started with 45 min duration and then slowly it went on reducing the duration which I suppose might be the result of censoring stuff and them cutting down many parts, coz in the beginning episodes, they just met, they hardly would have had much interaction so less cuts but gradually as the episodes increases, their interaction must have increased resulting in more cuts and hence shorter the duration became from previous ones, ....the same thing happend for ALON , that also started with 44 min per ep in 1-4 eps then later on went on reducing till the drama ended to somewhere around 28-33 mins per ep..... I am disappointed in WeTV and Youku, they don't deserve to broadcast bromance dramas like these , they always cut down scenes which reflects character bonding, it's strange as there were lot of rules to the censorship criteria, a lot of stuff needs to be censored in the past according to it, but all they care about nowadays is just censoring male-male interaction, ....I am seeing censors are toned down on lot of costume,styling,slangs, certain gestures and many other things but even if everything changes, censorship for bromance will never fade away . It's still strong, iqiyi, is the only platform , which I trust has the guts to worm it's way into bromance despite censors .....Ever since BL crackown imposed in 2021 after word of honor, I haven't got to see soulful bromance with minimal cuts on any other platform dramas except iqiyi....Iqiyi also censors bromance stuff but they definitely don't remove it's soul like other platforms do. Next in line is MangoTv, which censors less bromantic scenes but they disappointed me in the recent bromance drama DLY....
Xie lian huan, Wu San Xing lookalike and his accomplice, you will find it later in the series. He is alive but…
Truly, the last line of your reply was Epic 💯....😂 I 'll try my best to explain the plot as much as I remember from the lost tomb series, but let me warn you, I have forgotten the major details as I watched that series long long long back so I might not be able to give intrinsic plot details but I 'll try to explain from the best of my knowledge and memory. I saw above you asked previously if wu san xing dies or not when he came outta ship for the second time and the answer to this question is NO. But again it's an uncertain answer, coz all the dmbj adapted dramas gives vague info about wu san xing whereabouts since his disappearance. His disappearance is closely linked to Xie lian huan existence and one major characters of the drama that is Cox Henry. I must tell before moving further, that I am not a dmbj novel reader, so I don't know about what happens in the novel and how drama is different or similar in terms with it, thereby all my knowledge about dmbj series comes purely through the drama adaptations , If you are really very very interested in knowing the actual plot, I suggest you to read the novel or wait till a novel reader could brief the actual happenings in the plot. Now let's move further, so Cox Henry is a foreigner , grave robber and also an archaeologist and he has a Grand team and surplus man power behind him to support and fund him in carrying out these tomb raiding expeditions, Cox Henry's main aim was to find the secret of immortality from ancient Chinese records buried under the tombs constructed by renowned feng shui master Wang Zang Hai, a very extraordinary figure in Chinese literature, he is well known for creating deadly traps and killing people without even getting blood on his hands. Most of the tombs in dmbj series are his creation. So you will often hear his name being mentioned in the drama. Getting back, So Cox Henry somehow forced Xie lian huan and wu san xing to work under him, so these two (xie lian huan & wu san xing) are on same side, but they aren't entirely loyal to Cox Henry, there is a some hidden common ground between them. So part of their plan , is to let one of them die and let other one live, that is xie lian huan fakes his death and technically he is considered dead coz no one knows about his existence except wu san xing. The two of them are doppelgangers so when one is out , the other has to stay hidden so the truth of fake death is not exposed. Hence they always switch roles, sometimes it's xie lian as in wu san xing disguise playing wu xie uncle and even wu xie failed to recognise the difference until he found a major clue. Therefore when ever you hear wu san xing' name in the drama, it doesn't always mean, it's wu san xing actually , it could be xie lian huan, coz they often switch roles when one is not available due to some unprecedented circumstances. Exactly, what is their ultimate motive , even I am not able to figure it out yet but from what I understood ...WSX and XLH don't want the secret of immortality and other deadly concealed secrets to be unraveled, coz the two of them know about the bad consequences that it might bring once it falls in the hands of foreigners or any normal individual. In the subsequent dmbj sequels you would find out that Cox Henry indeed succeeds in discovering the secret to immortality but at the cost of being pulled towards calamity and meeting a tragic end. Therefore, WSX And XLH take the brunt of diverting their descendents (mystic nine clans) away from uncovering this secret to protect their future generations from the unpredictable phenomenon it might awaken once let out.
Xie lian huan, Wu San Xing lookalike and his accomplice, you will find it later in the series. He is alive but…
If you have problem, keep it in your bag and seal it's opening ,.. don't let it out to blow the gaff, why would you expect others to do what you think is right.....I as a user don't mind a major spoiler coz I think that only brings and deepens people's interest towards a drama when they get too know more about unexpected plot twists, and other person who asked above also asked out of interest and that's purely our subjective opinion, If you disagree , you could have ignored the comment , no need to spread hate by calling someone disrespectful as if they committed some outrageous act or felony,.... that truly doesn't make you sound presumptuous drama watcher , so concerned about not ruining others fun or something like that...... Btw I tagged spoiler, and what I wrote was very very very small hint of the biggest plot twist, I didn't even give details! Anyways,I am ending this thread, don't wanna explain anything to you or argue at all, but just let me remind you for the last time, your self-is-right attitude can't change others to satisfy your pov!
Xie lian huan, Wu San Xing lookalike and his accomplice, you will find it later in the series. He is alive but…
How's it being disrespectful, I don't get it ...if you don't like it , it's your problem why would you demean others? Everyone's brain doesn't work like yours, pls mind your own business, the person who asked doesn't have a problem then who are you to interfere?
In epi 10,who was he[Wu Sang] talking with the phone?🤔
Xie lian huan, Wu San Xing lookalike and his accomplice, you will find it later in the series. He is alive but he faked his death in front of archeological team back then coz it's the part of their plan.
I was in grade 10 when I learnt about the existence of this drama and now I am a first year MBBS student, so many years have passed ,but this drama's release still remains same old same old,i.e, “UNPREDICTABLE”
I think the only cleverest broadcasting network is IQIYI, when it comes to male-male centric plot dramas, there…
Yes ..agree Came across it and found it to be too preciously 🥹❤️😍bromantic for my heart which I haven't been used to since a long time because of these censors ....
IQIYI is an amazing platform when it comes to airing bromance dramas it doesn't delete scenes or cancel dramas…
I think the only cleverest broadcasting network is IQIYI, when it comes to male-male centric plot dramas, there are lot scenes that would never pass censorship in these dramas if allowed to air normally so probably airdropping them all in one go is the only possible solution and IQIYI knows how to smartly evade censors*** ......Other platforms like Youku, Tencent, Mango are all stupid fools to cut down dramas or heartful & emotional yet meaningful scenes just to let it air in normal way, I don't think so any other streaming network beside iqiyi has released as many bromance dramas as Iqiyi has throughout this bromance drought/bl ban period in C-ent!....... Literally hats off to Iqiyi 's BDQ🫡🤗🥰
GENUINELY, I CHOKED AT THAT SCENE, BECAUSE THERE IS DEFINITELY ANOTHER MEANING OF "Cutting sleeves"
Yes there is 💯 % In Chinese literature, the term "cut sleeve" (斷袖, Duàn xiù) is a euphemism for male homosexuality and male same-sex love. It originated from the short story The Passion of the Cut Sleeve (斷袖之癖), which is about the love between Emperor Ai of the Eastern Han Dynasty and his male lover, Dong Xian. In the story, Emperor Ai had to attend a court audience while Dong Xian was sleeping with his head on his robe sleeve. To avoid waking Dong Xian, Emperor Ai used a knife to cut off the lower half of his sleeve
Yes exactly...I felt exactly same as you do......I also dropped after ep 17 as the male lead's romantic subplot was kinda waste of time in my opinion & unnecessary.....if they wann show his character development...hos brotherhood/bromance with Dan Tuo & camaraderie with other natives of trilateral slopes was more than enough to showcase his emotional & well as mental progression.....The romance with the bar girl was really a cringe .....NGL it grossed me out too! I wanted to vomit 🤮 after that one consummating scene in ep 17 ....it was really a blemish in the tremendous storyline.
Why are you so
eager to clash on before knowing the crux of what I meant?
Another scene shown in the reuters, that wuxie and xiaoge filmed after wuxie wakes up after the underwater scene where xiaoge save him.... But that scene is nowhere found in the drama....

Often just a slight difference in thought can produce hatred from love, and become an obsession. This obsession then becomes hatred, this hatred contains deep love.”
The screenwriter wrote these lines to describe their relationship truly🤭
