Absolutely enjoy this piece of adventure, you will feel the excitement, anticipation and anxiety as if you are part of the team. Story and acting is superb. There is no perfect heroes in here, they each have strengths and also weakness and made mistakes just like any human being. The action choreography is well directed and for an Asian drama, i felt the CGI is pretty awesome too. Some interesting animal characters were introduced that were related to mythical creatures such as phoenix & yeti. My fav is the Nuqing rooster, that is 1 non human character that i sure missed a lot, such a fighter. Romance is not the main focal point but kudos to Venga Gao & Xin Zhi Lei, they both exuded such a strong chemistry & sexual tension that as a viewer you just wish they would kiss , roll on the bed & produce some beautiful babies haha. Pan Yue Ming deserves some credit for bringing to life as the flawed chief Chen, he might not be prefect but he sure care for his men & i genuinely believes why his follower has such deep respects and loyalty to him. The Xieling brotherhood touched my heart. This author sure is brutal as he just like killing off characters but probably that is to show how dangerous the life of a treasure hunter is. The only minor grip i have was the unsatisfactory ending, i know it follows the novel but why can't the director just tweak a bit to make it happier thus i cut out 0.5 stars for this.
