Ethan is the best Hu Ba Yi ever!

This is actually a great show, not just because of gorgeous and cute and funny Ethan Ruan, but also because of the unexpectedly beautiful production considering the time period and circumstances of the story (a cold snowy winter in rural China of 1950-60s). I remember these cotton padded rural coats worn by my grandparents but only Ethan can make it such a sexy outfit. I don't expect much of a tomb raiding genre. It all mostly gets down to wandering around in underground labyrinths and a fair dose of screamers, which you have plenty of in this show as well. But there are also so many funny moments here that made me puzzled and thinking if they were intentional (because they didn't look like a regular Chinese comedy scenes with appropriate music etc.) or it is just my own cultural background of a Soviet childhood that made them so damn funny. A great set-up and camerawork! I owe most of my laughs to it. Too bad the only song sung was The Internationale, but it added a funny flavor and made me remember the lyrics in my own language and sing it on with the characters. This is a charming small tomb raiding show, after which it is difficult for me to see any other actor as Hu Ba Yi but adorable Ethan Ruan.
