A Jackie Chan mainland drama
I have watched The Myth, Jackie Chan movie years ago, I can't remember the movie, so I won't compare them, but I think is a good advice tell you, the drama has many Jackie Chan old movies characteristics, if you don't like his 90's movies you will hardly like this drama, especially the present parts of the drama.
Starting from the present 2010: A family with divorced parents, two opposite brothers, the younger and carefree(but he graduated from Art or something like that) and the older who follows the father archaeologist path. The Mother cares a family secret. The carefree and womanizer younger brother, Yi Xiao Chuan has a girlfriend, Gao Lan.
Now the historical Qin Dynasty: when Yi Xiao Chuan enter this new reality he find new friends and allies really fast and is inserted in the plot of Qin Dynasty last years. Trough his journey he meets historical figures and gets involved in more than one court affair, but most part of the time he is only a watcher, seeing the tragic historical scenes happening or a backstage figure who did what he could but could not defy fate, even though he is always the narrative focus.
The Romance here did not captivated me, the drama has little romance anyway. I can't name the couple, cause the ML meets many women. The drama has many side couples too, sometimes their story is romantic, sometimes is not attracting at all.
The Present story has less content than the historical and it was pouring in the 50 episodes in a homeopathic way, if you don't like the modern scenes with the family and the gangsters you won't suffer much, beware both realities are connected you might lose plot context.
The expected conclusion was not well done here, I felt nothing that I was supposed to feel, cause the way the couple felt like a random and small piece of the dense plot did not help. Aside from actor Hu Ge(great acting as always), the majority of the actors here are lacking in their acting.
Overall is a very dynamic drama, with action, adventure with few doses of melodrama, there is always something going on! Is up to you if this is enough to go trough all 50 episodes, for me the main reason to watch was fill a more slot in my Actor Hu Ge watched drama list, it wasn't hard and I quite enjoyed part of the plot and even watched the opening many times! The drama is not that bad as the comments made it look.
