Below is my initial thoughts from watching the show before in the past. I will update once I've rewatched the entire show.
Wei's Rating: 7/10⭐Mainly lost points due to plot deviations.
Wei's Comments: This was my first introduction to DMBJ as a series. Althou it's lacking compared to the other adaptations, it was enough to keep me hooked. I watched it with no prior knowledge about the show, so the deviation from the original work didn't bother me much.
According to 南派三叔 "In the novel, Wu Xie has a lot of inner monologue. Thus, there was worry that there would be too much monologuing, so High Shao was created so Wu Xie had someone to talk to." - Grave Robbers Chronicles Wiki
I did like the additional of High 少and I'm sad that he doesn't actually exist in the main plotline. But now with the knowledge that he doesn't really exist, he doesn't really fit in the original plot.
