After a year of twists and turns, with multiple release and cancellation dates, audiences believed they might never get the chance to see it, at least not this year. But fortunately, as November draws to a close, we have finally been able to watch the long-awaited 'Ghost Blows Out the Light: South Sea Tomb,' after nearly a year of anticipation. It has truly been a challenging journey.

'Ghost Blows Out the Light: South Sea Tomb' is the fourth installment of the 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' web series, starring Pan Yue Ming, Zhang Yu Qi, and Jiang Chao as the main cast. Among the previous installments, this web series has been the most successful, second only to the first one, 'Ghost Blows Out the Light: Dragon Bone Mountain.'

The subsequent installment, 'Mojin: The Lost Legend of the Yunnan Worm Valley,' underwent extensive cuts due to its excessively "horror" plot, resulting in a significant decline in the overall quality of the series. The show received a lot of negative reviews after its release. The journey of 'South Sea Tomb' has also been far from smooth.

Normally, the 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' series would choose to air during the summer season. However, this series was delayed until the end of November. It had previously set release dates that were ultimately missed, leading to doubts among the audience about extensive plot cuts. When 'South Sea Tomb' finally premiered on November 27th, viewers discovered that the series had indeed undergone significant plot cuts, resulting in a polarizing reception.

'South Sea Tomb' consists of only 16 episodes, with each episode lasting just over 20 minutes. The series ended before audiences could fully immerse themselves in the story. With such a short duration, it was difficult to convey the intricate plot of the expansive tomb-raiding novel 'Ghost Blows Out the Light.' Many exciting parts of the novel were not adequately portrayed in the series, which was disappointing for fans.

Furthermore, viewers expressed disappointment with the visual effects of 'South Sea Tomb,' as they appeared artificial and easily broke the immersion of the story.

However, some viewers believe that the successful airing of 'South Sea Tomb' itself is an achievement worthy of recognition, and there is no need to nitpick. Additionally, the two main actors, Pan Yue Ming and Zhang Yu Qi, have returned to their peak attractiveness in this series. Pan Yue Ming has shed his previous heavy and greasy image and looks stylish, while Zhang Yu Qi sports a shoulder-length haircut, exuding elegance.

Lastly, 'South Sea Tomb' is likely to be the final chapter of the 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' web series, with Pan Yue Ming, Zhang Yu Qi, and Jiang Chao as the united main cast. There have been reports that the ultimate chapter of the 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' novel, 'The Coffin in the Wu Gorge,' will not be adapted, indicating that 'South Sea Tomb' will be the last installment of the web series. This is unfortunate news for fans of 'Ghost Blows Out the Light.' Despite the possibly lower quality compared to 'Dragon Bone Mountain,' as fans of the series and enthusiasts of tomb-raiding dramas, it is still worth watching.
