I enjoyed every minute of it. The cast, the overdoing it in everything from the clothes to villains, it is pure, sheer fun. I especially loved the mothers, what good actresses, all 3 of them. Good chemistry, could maybe have had a bit more romance but it's ok. No fillers, fast paced.
If you are looking for simple enjoyment, this is it.
His official already said the day before yesterday he has nothing to do with either the drama or the promotion…
There will be some, I am sure. But for the most part, it seems to be an original work. I don't even understand why that's odd or why it is controversial. What's wrong with that?
As for the author, I can just link everyone to what was said, it's not in English of course, but still. XL has no involvement with this. He is connected to Mystic Nine 2.
If anyone wants to take a look, I will link you to one Douban thread with the thing, as I can't link directly to a pic

Of course they do, they want this drama to be a success, they know his history with dramas and do not want a mess. A person can be a good book writer but that doesn't have to translate further.
In the end, you can just read the statement by yourself 🤷
It's easy. They like the character, it was based on an actual person that is absolutely fascinating, they like the set up so they bought copyright. As they should because XL should get compensated. If you read the statement , you will see them mention that the script is mostly original.
If the list of characters that showed up yesterday is correct, there is no Zhang family in the main cast. ML2 has a different surname.
Apparently (though it's not official yet), the author of the books, Xu Lei, will be among the screenwriters.This…
His official already said the day before yesterday he has nothing to do with either the drama or the promotion of the drama. Thank goodness for that, there was a right party in China when that was posted. He will probably get some sort of credit because it's his character but that's it. He will not be involved in any promotional events. All this goes along with what Youku said a very long time ago, that XL is not involved. And if anyone knows his history, they know why that is.
It's a story about revenge. It's not connected to tomb robbing. Wang Zanghai's parents get killed and the drama is about his journey to get justice for that, as he progresses through court. He is a morally gray character so there will a lot of good material for XZ.
I have a question for anyone who has finished this 👇
I am binge watching now that it is done and someone please spoil and tell me if the psychopath adoptive mother gets what she deserves? Thank you! This is so good but I need to know because I have a desire to push her off a bridge.
Chae Jong Hyeop just does nothing for me. I don't know if I would have liked Bo Geol more if it were a different actor because that character set up also isn't my fave but as it is, Cha Hak Yeon is overshadowing him in every way in my eyes.
I will finish it for completion but otherwise it's a total bust for me thanks to this. If ML2 was ML? Would have been perfect for me. Can't have it all I guess.
In its fourteenth broadcast in five months, this time on CCTV 1 in the afternoon slot, WDB is breaking 1 in ratings in just the 8th episode. This is the real performance which everyone wants to have in hand. A legacy drama, no doubt.
Melons coming out quickly now, this is even more important.
🍉 ML2 - Fang Zhong Xin Veteran actor, has worked with Zheng Xiaolong before, excellent actor. If this one is true, this would be amazing. ML2 has many scenes with the lead so this is the most important pick after XZ.
Personally I hope it's not her. She gave me a rough feeling.
Rough seems like an ugly word.
Anyway, the director personally auditioned for all the roles and with his experience and quality of past work, whoever he picked, he knows what he is doing.

I don't remember the last time I wanted to throw a character out the window after just two episodes 😂
What an actress!

Anyway, all melons say it is her but official announcement should be soon.

We have to wait a bit more to see confirmation of course. There are a few other melons but much more shaky so I skipped them 😂
