Zang Hai Zhuan

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.

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!

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.

I am watching on Youku App, and have got to episode 16 so far (I bought VIP throughout the first episode because I just couldn't stop watching).

This production has impressed me for the quality of direction, photography, set design, costumes, historical and cultural accuracy (many museums and cultural institutions in China already came out with articles and comments about the artistic and cultural accuracy and value in Legend of Zanghai), and of course because of the cast, as numerous as it is highly professional.

The casting, too, is incredible. The child actors really do look like their adult version, and act very naturally. The "baddies" are very credible in their pettiness and cowardice, kudos to the actors and the director for finding the perfect balance. The main characters are just perfect for the role and Xiao Zhan's acting abilities truly bloom under top-tier direction. His ZangHai is cunning but human, calculating but youthful, and he really draws you in. I just can't wait for new episodes to come out. This drama will be remembered for a long time.

So far I've watched 8 episodes it was incredible and intelligently made. The plot was easier to follow but it will leave you guessing

This is not a love story so the element of romance was subtle but man the chemistry of Xiao Zhan and Zhang Jingyi is so strong it'll make you wanting for more. Love their battle of wits so much ❤❤❤ I love how the FL is very clever, nor weak or a pushover.

This is male centric drama focusing on Zang Hai's path of revenge so this is gonna be your typical love story. 8 episodes into it and already exceeded my expetations

I can't wait how the story unfolds. Till then.
