spooky towers and mysterious maps!

In this episode our team embarks on what is supposedly a relaxing picnic only to encounter a seemingly haunted tower in a mysterious Buddhist temple.  A rumored treasure map from the last dynasty brings out both thieves and murderers as Samo, Li Zhi and gang try to solve the mystery of the tower.  I have to say I enjoyed this episode a lot more than the previous two, though that could be because my expectations were a lot less this time around. When the drama synopsis promised "the X-files of the Tang dynasty" I was hoping for something a lot more gothic and atmospheric. So the candy colors and rather juvenile humor of the first two episodes really grated.

the colors continue to be just as bright, and the mood light-hearted  in this episode. But I've gotten used to it, and the last few minutes seem to hint at darker conspiracies ahead. As of now, I'm prepared to continue with the series.  I started it because of Xu Joe (I really liked his portrayal of the tragic Prince Zhan  in Love lost in time) and despite that horrible hair, he manages to hold my attention.
