Enjoyed it but also dissapointed at third part

This is my first 'Grave Robbers' drama, more like an introduction for me. After sleeping on it for a while, I finally decided to watch it, and I was pleasantly surprised by it. I have my complaints, and disappointments, but in all I loved the Iron triangle, which was the main reason for me to watch this.

I'm a huge fan of Bromance/BL so when I came across a video on youtube depicting WuXie/Zhang Qi Ling pair - I was more than excited, I started this right away.

I enjoyed two thirds of this drama. Albeit being slowpaced, and draggy, ZYL and HJJ were amazing with their performance, and I found their interactions interesting. The mystery wasn't that alluring to me, I really didn't care, but for the sake of watching the iron triangle, I tried to keep up with it. Wu Xie's character was a puppy, I loved his whumpy scenes, and Zhang QL's badass moments (though there weren't many). Fatty was hilarious, annoying but hilarious, and they made such a good pair. I really enjoyed watching their screen time together.

I didn't like the side show of Black Glasses, I didn't find his part in the drama interesting, also his love interest had no point at all. To keep the soap opera going, they kept dragging her along to the point I started skipping their scenes. This drama was doing good, until the third part. One of the main characters fell off the face of the earth - Zhang Qi Ling, and the second main - Fatty became support. They were replaced by the character of Bai- this is the part where the drama just fell apart. The amount of disappointment and sadness I felt was upsetting. I really set myself up to enjoy this drama, hoping the story and bromance would be the main focus, but at the third part, we are shoved with a lovey dovey female character who is also a damsel.

I missed the iron triangle, and I hoped they would stick together. I really enjoy these actors depicting their roles as each character, and It's disappointing how they swayed away from the friendship/bromance to shoving romance just for the sake of proving heterosexuality. I know Bai will be a main character in the second season, and am not sure how I will take it. But for the sake of the Iron Triangle, I will definitely watch.

I will not rate this drama because of the third part. I will solely rate this based on my love for the iron triangle, I give this 10/10 because people like me (who hate romance) aren't that lucky to have such good dramas to watch. I will watch the second season when I get my feelings together after finishing this. Right now, i will go watch a pure bl so I can get the taste of Bai out of my system.
