Remarks

Xu Zhen Xuan has been Wu Xie at least twice. Cheng Xiang will be Zhang Qi Ling twice too because he's in the upcoming Southern Anecdote. Meanwhile these two have already appeared together in another show that's currently airing: The Journey of Legend.

Xu Lei is the author of Grave Robbers' Chronicles 盜墓筆記. His pen name "Nan Pan San Shu" means "Third Disciple of Southern Sect". There's a saying that if he's involved in the drama, it won't be good, and he's involved in this drama. 🤞?

(These adaptations being all over the place give me OCD)

Wrapped in 2023.

[Ending] Happy. Needs a S2.

Drama Overview & Review

Wu Xie. He’s the boy everyone loves – me too, me too! He’s naive, curious, trusting, smart enough to solve problems, soft enough to make you root for him, and funny just by being normal. [Skip »]

🥺

Wu Xie: "I'm not a scumbag!" 😂

Yelling at the storm like it'll listen :"Are you done yet!!" xD

Pretty! xD

His every skinship with women are frightening

☙ ☙ ☙ ☙ ☙

Zhang Qi Ling. For xiao ge fans, maybe you'd be underwhelmed. He’s still mysterious and powerful, but definitely not much screen presence. As someone new, I didn’t mind at all that he drifts in and out of the story as needed though. (Spoiler in the last picture) [Skip »]

There are certain angles that he looks like Zheng Ye Cheng.

So dramatic just to...bow xD

Who dis?

Hahaha. I didn't see that coming.

☙ ☙ ☙ ☙ ☙

Wang Pang Zi. He started off annoying, but by the end, he was my number 2 guy.!! His jokes kept getting better. [Skip »]

Running for their lives

Wu Xie: "Pang Zi, run faster!"

Pang Zi: "Can you two run slower?"

[Random line unrelated to the pic]

On losing weight: "If I don't lose 30 pounds, I'll write my Wang upside down." 王 upside down is still 王 loool. This man, 廢話真多

[Random line unrelated to the pic]

Piggybacking A Ning: "Why am I short of breath? Am I in love with her?” xD

He's a true opportunist.

Sides with xiao ge. "He has a point"

Wu Xie side-eyes him.

Sides with Wu Xie. "He also has a point."

☙ ☙ ☙ ☙ ☙

Uncle. So mysterious. Pan Zi is always there for Wu Xie, but ultimately his loyalty lies with Uncle. And I think it’s because Uncle loves Wu Xie that Pan Zi dotes on him that much more. [Skip »]
