I found it under "Time Raiders" on the WeTV app.

Watched the first 4 episodes and I'm loving it so far! This is a far better adaptation of the first novel in the series than the old series from 2015 was, in my opinion, because it's sticking closer to the source material.

And I knew Xu Zhenxuan would be great in this, but he's once again exceeding my expectations. <3

Love seeing the behemoth that is the DMBJ live action fandom wake up from its beauty sleep. Oh, we're so back! <3

True, he always seemed somewhat distressed and conflicted when people close to him got hurt, and watching his friends mourn him as TS seemed to have really gotten to him, too.
But I guess he was already so far down his chosen path at that point that he couldn't have stopped even if he had wanted to, and he knew that.

One of the details that stood out to me in the last big fight scene in episode 36 is that, although he had more than enough opportunities to do so, TS didn't actually KILL anyone and only injured ZKY and his people. He didn't even draw his sword for most of the fight.
Maybe that was supposed to prove that he still had some kind of conscience, especially after working side by side with those people for years, but it went so much against his usual way of doing things as Yesha that it just felt out of place to me. Why spare his enemies now after dragging so many innocent people down with him and getting them killed? Just so they could see him succeed (and then still die later)? It seemed a bit inconsequential.

But anyway, I still really, REALLY loved this drama and it's easily one of my favorites this year. I also loved that the gang adopted ZKY into their little family at the end, he was my favorite character in this.

I see. Thank you!

Thanks for your reply! I realize I could have worded my last post better. My question was if the ghost market can be considered a typical jianghu element.
I agree with everything else you said; I don't see this drama as a jianghu tale at all.

Sure, you're welcome!

Not even the ghost market (or what it was called) where they first tried to find an antidote for Beiming? I've come to associate those places with jianghu. But please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. :)

There are quite a lot. You probably have to type in the Chinese characters to find them, though.
That's at least the case for The Wanted Detective. :)

Love love love the soundtrack for this drama and I'm happy I found it on Amazon. But like with all drama OSTs I've found there so far I'm not entirely sure if this is an official digital release.
Does anyone know if these are legit or if someone shares these illegally on Amazon and takes credit (and money) for the real artists' works?

If the intro animation (as usual with dramas of this kind) represents all the cases yet to come, then there are not only still quite a few cases to solve but this drama is also going to be much, much weirder.
Looking forward to it though.

Very solid drama.
Its narrative structure reminds me a lot of "A League of Nobleman", except "The Wanted Detective" is way more heterosexual.
The squad is adorable and the dialogues and interactions between these youngsters feel very lively and natural. Personally, I also like that the drama concentrates more on the case(s) than on romance (so far), but that's really just my personal preference.

I'm greatly enjoying this short drama so far!
It has an amazing old-school vibe to it. The story is pretty straightforward and I have seen many of the tropes a million times before, but the actors deliver them so perfectly that I'm always impatiently awaiting the next episode. :)

You can watch the drama on WeTV. Search for "Nine Yin True Sutra" or click here:

There are currently only AI-translated subs, though. :(

Sure, you're welcome. Have fun watching, it's a great binge! :)

Absolutely.
This is technically not a sequel, it's more like Eternal Brotherhood was filmed as a 48-episode drama and then split into two halves, with the first half being released in 2024 and the second half (or "season 2") coming out on Friday.
Both seasons put together tell one single story, which is why season 1 really shouldn't be skipped.

Eternal Brotherhood is EXCELLENT.
It's quite dark and highly political, and Liu Yuning is absolutely terrifying in this (literally – his character is a ruthless killer who only loves his wife and his two sworn brothers). One of my favorite dramas of 2024, can't wait to see the second half soon. ❤️

Sure, you're welcome. :)
