    Btw, is it true that in restart Wu Xie got tuberculosis? I remember someone mentioning that but I don't know if it's accurate or not...

    eh as far i get hold DMBJ restart, he's fine. but becoming heavy smoker thanks to XiaoGe's absence

    i don't think so, i haven't got any proof after all. i don't dare to make claims. also i checked on baidu, there's no mention of his real name iirc

    well i've watched for... one eps (rip time, been slaving myself on poyun and tunhai lmao).
    i made mistake when i said
    WuXie isn't terminally sick. Eps 1 DMBJ restart plainly showed he gets terminal lung cancer
    i'm pretty sure that i haven't seen this scene in Restart online version. or daily webtoon (it's about slice of life anyway, who will include 'knife' here). maybe bcoz i mtl-ed or haven't reached that far.
    :s
    till end i'm gonna be optimistic

    honestly i prefer 鬼吹灯 (Guǐ Chuīdēng)

    i haven't watched the reboot but the previous dramas were all so draggy and boring.
    the first 1/3 of the drama would be them talking, walking and doing nothing and then they finally enter the tomb.
    then the next 1/3 of the drama would be the nice parts, where they enter the tomb.

    then the final 1/3 would be them talking and wasting your time, foreshadowing for the next "season" which never came and the show kept on rebooting and then the show would end as if theres another episode the next week....WTF

    tbh i would advise against watching the dramas and movies if anyone is interested and just read it instead. or just don't bother entirely

    not gonna... deny.
    even the novels won't explain/reveal everything lol.
    well, Restart actually looks good (im there for Zhu Yilong heheh), but kinda a bummer.

    yea but still the novels is much better than the drama(s) because of how they film it

    tbh the drama has had so many remakes and they all have the same format for some odd reason which is super trashy, i'm not even sure i want to watch the remake

    Thanks for the info. I'm watching the whole thing in a somehow backward order. First Sea Sand now Reboot. So I've decided to start reading the novel (tha should have been covered by Lost Tomb s1 of which I watched some episodes..). Considering that the variant, talking, recording snakes appear both in Sand Sea (side story) and Reboot (main story), I'm wondering, do these strange beasts have any deep meaning? And when they appear in the novels? Thanks

    Sand Sea as in ShaHai?
    yea, kind of. those snakes had certain meaning, tho i think in ShaHai, it has been explained.
    uhh my brain is becoming mush, either in ShaHai, middle-last part in Daomu Biji (the original, not reboot). iirc, the snakes were mentioned first in Snake Marsh part (when the gang journeyed into an oasis in middle of Gobi desert, cmiiw).

    Hey there,
    I'm super new to DMBJ and actually found out about it because of the Zhang Kylin Figure ^^''
    I just wanted to thank you @meridianna for this master post!
    Thanks to you I managed to find all the novels and the Dramas and I just lost myself in that universe ^^''

    I'd just found out about DMBJ because of Zhu Yilong's new drama. So far, I've binge watched Lost Tomb 1, Lost Tomb 2, Time Raiders, Shahai, Shahai spin off - Huamei and Mystic Nine. Gonna study the novels next (y)
    Does anyone know if there is any chart of the character relationships?

    aww sadly i can't make some chart, too hard for me :blobxd::blobxd:
    but i've tried to list some recurrent/important characters, based on novels tho. because dramas seem too eager to add only-drama characters

    Not sure about the novels, but the timeline between the live action dramas was pretty messed up :rolleyes:
    I found this page, it got more detailed timeline from the novels.
