A gripping drama about brotherhood and the corruption of greed

Wow, I binged this after a feature went up in the main MyDramaList page. It seemed a refreshing concept for the Light On series, which I'd heard great things about, and a good choice for my first drama with Chen Feiyu in the lead.

I was not disappointed; this was great. The greed for gold was like a lurking horror in the background, coaxing the worst out of every character and lending crowd scenes a terrifying aspect. This and the moral ambiguity of almost every character really let the moments of humanity and compassion shine through. I really felt the devotion of Baojin to his brother, to endure such conditions and danger to try to find him.

This drama felt like a classic western in the best way, the lure of gold leading to switched sides and loyalties more than once, and a threat of violence at every turn giving great thriller tension. The length and pacing was great, bingeable and not too drawn-out. The acting, effects, and overall production quality felt cinematic, and I couldn't stop watching. The ending was totally satisfying.
