The Lost Tomb Reboot: episode notes 6-11

[mekare]

I finally continued watching, so here are my episode notes:

Episode 6

Episodes 7-11

All in all I am still enjoying the adventures and the friendship feels between the three main characters. I keep waiting for some significant female characters to turn up though...

Since laireshi recommended the novels the show is based on, I have started reading those as well, plus I checked out one of the other adaptations (unfortunately without Zhu Yilong). The whole series is enormously popular apparently, and I can definitely see why.

hope that will be explained...
UMMM, about that... xD

Re official translation - you supported the author!
That's really the only thing it's good for, because it's fully unreadable. (Also, it has bullshit lines such as "'I call him Menyouping,' said Third Uncle". NO! That's Wu Xie's private nickname for Xiaoge!)

I recognise your icon now, how can this magazine come up with such excellent fanservice again? It‘s like the Guardian wedding photoshoot...
Pingxie actually got two photoshoots! The Figaro honeymoon one (my icon) that also had a trailer with a voiceover of a poem read by David Tennant (no, I still haven't recovered from that) and the Bazaar wedding photoshoot that's possibly even more fanservice-y than the Guardian one?? My fangirl heart is so happy ;;;
