I watched Blood River (暗河传) because it is related to 2 other dramas that I have sat through earlier. There are some common characters and names mentioned in all 3 dramas because they are parts of a long saga that spans across 2 generations.

Hence, I can't help but to watch it myself to find out if it is as bad as some critics have portrayed it to be. Moreover, I really don't mind watching another Cheng Yi drama.
