Zang Hai Zhuan

Watching the legend of Zang hai has been a treat so far. Xiao Zhan is an incredible actor and the plot has been engaging and intricate. It's very rare to watch a series that is unpredictable and where the outcomes of each conflict are interesting and well thought out. I think the pacing of the show is very well done too and there are very few scenes that feel redundant or unnecessary to the telling of the story. Visually the show is stunning. Though they utilise a select number of locations often, it builds a sense of familiarity. Great writing and well executed by all of the cast! I'm completely hooked!

This is so far one of the best c-dramas. I hope they don't go into the regular rabbit hole and ruin it in later episodes.

The plot is superb and delivered exquisitely. Already in episode one you feel for the main character and you will also want to take part in the revenge. And mind me - the first episode has child actors who bring so much emotion and good acting at such a young age.

The ML delivers top notch acting, you can feel all his emotions and pain - it may be just a flickr of the eyes, or a tremble of the lips and you know in your heart what is portrayed. Episode 7 just ripped my heart - it was so emotionally loaded, I had to stare in the void for 20 minutes to recover.

All actors are doing an incredible job in delivering their characters. Up until now I haven't see a weak performance, be it from the experienced actors or from the younger ones.

And you can see that the director knows what he's doing by the bone - top visuals, top acting, top delivery. Everything is calculated to perfection.

My only complain is about the age of the characters, I just can't see them as the age the plot is stating. The ML should be 20, but he looks 30. One other character was supposed to be 36 but he's more like 50. But let's give it to the time period where people used to look older than the same age in modern times.

I don't know when was the last time I got so addicted to a drama like I am doing now. I mean I know the director is excellent, the actors and even the background story but watching it still far exceeded my expectations. If I say it's a masterpiece, I wouldn't be exaggerating. I've watched 10 episodes and each one makes me want to see the next one so much. So much has happened and this is just the beginning. I'm really excited for what's left. I still can't say I fully know the main characters, whether it's Zang Hai, the Marquis, or even Xiang Antu. They're all playing off each other. Also, in the confrontations between Zang Hai and the Marquis, I can't help but tense up in every scene they have together. They're both pretending in front of each other. I must say that I still underestimate the Marquis. His actions are really unpredictable and shocking. I know it's too early to say this, but it will be a long time before I find a drama this good.

Legend of Zang Hai is a truly outstanding drama with a deeply engaging and unpredictable storyline. Each episode is like opening a new chapter of a well-written novel - full of twists, suspense, and emotional depth. The plot is smart, layered, and keeps you constantly guessing. Nothing feels rushed or shallow; instead, the story unfolds naturally and meaningfully. Combined with beautiful visuals and strong performances, the series becomes absolutely addictive. It's one of those rare shows where the plot keeps getting better with every episode. A must-watch for anyone who values storytelling at its finest.

Everytime 2 new episodes drop, it's the highlight of my day. The story is still twisting and turning in the best way, and every day I find myself thinking about how the plot will develop.

"Who exactly is the third murder?"

The visual effects are also fantastic, including all the action choreography, which is full of ancient Chinese aesthetics.

The acting is top-notch! Seriously, many times their acting is so realistic that it's heartbreaking, moving, and even frightening.

If you're looking for a fantasy show to follow that's got everything going for it, this is the one! So excited for the next episodes!
