I actually thought this was very entertaining despite the mediocre production quality and a pretty lame start…. Like it had sucha weak 10 minute start I thought it was going to be super bad but the plot was actually not bad. I’m benchmarking this to all the Daomu Biji movies. They are all actually very bad by normal standards. lol.
It got more and more exciting maybe because it was a pretty short movie. I still find Ji Chen exactly like the HeiYanJing described in the novels.
I think the movie is out…. I saw it on YouTube, under Youku I think… think this is it, but I’ve yet to watch…
Ah I see, thanks! I didn’t know there was another one… but the storyline for that isn’t based on Reunion…. It looks more like what happened after Tomb of the Sea though because of the main theme of the movie. Interesting. Am glad Ji Chen is playing Black Glasses again.
Have to say Ji Chen as Black Glasses is super befitting. He’s really exactly like the Black Glasses in the novel… lol. The way he talks. He’s cool and super hilarious.
I have to say I love HeiYanJing/Black Glasses here the most versus all other actors who have played this role. He is hilarious!! And the one that most closely resembles the original character depicted in the novel. He somehow manages to be uber cool as well. Think it’s partially coz his voice is kinda deep.
I felt ambivalent after watching it the first time because of the main addition of Li Cu et al. Like they were all very “normal” average-Joe characters without any fantasy/mysterious background…. I felt they were kinda random.
But it really grew on me after rewatching primarily due to the good and very fitting cast for most roles…. The Wu Xie here is really perfect for this phase of his life…….. which makes the actor a little too young in Reunion to play the ML…. Like his gaze is just too clean, not roughened by the tough times… the Sand Sea plot is also pretty unique in comparison to the other volumes in this series.
It’s sad that he is such an underrated actor…. He doesn’t have a lot of works. I’ve been eyeing on his…
Yea he really is. Lol. I keep rewatching this series just because I can’t find anything new from him. Some of his other works are too old that the production quality irks me. Like the colours are just too weird.
I was LDIC coz of him, I didn’t exactly enjoy the series…
Tribes and Empire has like 75 episodes………. I tried playing the first episode… fail… lol. Was it worth the watch? The rating on MDL isn’t exactly high…
Sighs. Is there anything good that you came across? Maybe I just missed something…
ZYW has the kind of magnetism that whenever he is on screen, all the other men look like boys.Loved him in Tribes…
It’s sad that he is such an underrated actor…. He doesn’t have a lot of works. I’ve been eyeing on his next release. Detective Di. No idea when it’d be out…. ZZY is like a big fan of his…
Wish more producers and directors would cast him. 🤓
This is my first time watching a drama in the Candle in the Tomb series and I love it. This is a notch above that…
You should watch Wrath of Time too, the prequel which Vengo Gao was the ML. Was really good and you’d understand the background and history of the whole series.
Suggest watching Wrath of Time first before the rest… Vengo Gao has a segment here as a guest star (his part was really good, in Episode 7) as a direct continuation from the ending of Wrath of Time, the prequel depicting the history + origins of the tomb raiding factions even prior to the 2016 TV adaptation.
Can i know the right line about the tomb which series of those should I start
Definitely recommend to start with Wrath of Time because it is the prequel… before starting with the rest in the order mentioned… there is even a segment in The Lost Caverns which guest stars Vengo Gao as the direct continuation from the ending of Wrath of Time.
You’d also enjoy the whole series better because of the sensible chronological order.
IMHO this is better than Worm Valley as I have finished the entire drama in 1 day. Worm Valley is placed On Hold…
Same!! I found this better than Worm Valley too, think Worm Valley lacked a substantial plot was just a lot of action. This was a much better balance, so intriguing.
It’s so tense it’s so so good. Wonder why this series is not popular? I just finished it. Really recommend…
Haha I preferred the ML in the first TV adaptation though. Pan Yue Ming is also a good actor but Jin Dong had a more suitable Indiana Jones vibe… also I’m a bit annoyed at the casting of Pan Yue Ming because he played another role in the same series… he was Chen Yu Lou in Wrath of Time, basically the old guy who was blind here. =.=
Yes, it’s a bit sad that it isn’t as popular as Daomu Biji (The Lost Tomb)… mostly because of the author of the novels… so the author of Gui Chui Deng isn’t as good in marketing as the author of Daomu Biji.

Vengo Gao is so cool as Zhe Gu Shao….. super fitting…
