Zhao Ge Shao Nian Xing (2025)

I saw no one give a review

First of all, I watched this drama because of zhang kangle. But, I like Jiang Wenhuan, Chong Yibiao and Asi character.

Sum up ;
Fresh youthful vibes – The drama feels energetic and focuses on friendship, dreams, and youthful passion.

Mix of history + light fantasy – Although set in a historical background, it’s not too heavy on politics, leaning more toward adventure and camaraderie.

New but lively cast – Most actors aren’t big names, but their acting is natural, and the chemistry between the group of friends feels genuine. And Li Zhouzhao actings really delivered a mix feelings coz how's he handle the scene.

But ...

1. Some of the eps feel a little bit draggy with filler like moments, while others rush through key developments.
2. Low-budget CGI - Scenes that should look epic (battle sequences, magical elements, wide landscapes) feel cheap or unfinished. Instead of enhancing the story, the effects sometimes distract viewers. [ Reminds tht this drama shoot 5 years ago ]
3. Kunwu’s portrayal – His delivery can feel stiff or unnatural at times, which breaks immersion. Some scenes that should be intense or emotional instead feel awkward. Maybe he's still new to industry, but honestly he just looks so awkward. But his acting really improved in LOTFG
4. Shallow conflicts – Villains and obstacles often lack depth, so the stakes don’t feel that high. I can said the some of the villains so unnecessary and that Gongsun Wuyu story is unworthy.

Sum up characters -

Jiang wenhuan - a good leader, he often thought about his members esp kunwu. And i like his character. His acting might not be so good but he handled his job.

Kunwu - first thought, during their first meeting with wenhuan i just feel his character is weird. Maybe because he is portrayed as a protagonist

Chong yibiao - his look so fierce.Wiser than others, often the voice of reason. He brings balance, though his arc isn’t as fleshed out. But his betrayal so unnecessary

E shun - useless stand still character even he helped asi ( if i can choose, i choose kunwu ) He even didn't met yibiao till his last breathe

Xinjia - his character is like an entertainer of the group. A warm, supportive presence among the youths. More grounded, but doesn’t have much standout character growth.

Asi - She so loyal! The comic relief and loyal companion. Brings lighthearted moments, though sometimes feels like filler.Symbolizes friendship and loyalty in its purest form.

Gongsun wuyu - One of the supposed “big villains.” Generic and cliché in execution — power-hungry, but without depth.More noisy than dangerous, so never really scary. No wonder I hate her from day 1

Jiang wenfeng - useless. He so underdeveloped — he could have been a layered character with conflict, but ends up flat.Feels like wasted potential.

Guxi - the good helper. Strong-willed, caring, and righteous — balances the boys’ impulsiveness. One of the more likable characters, though romance arcs around her feel undercooked. Luckily she killed the stupid king

Zhong li - is he a king? Should have been a commanding political figure, but is bland and passive.Adds little tension — a “useless king” archetype.

Yiyao - Elegant and intelligent, but somewhat distant. Could have been a mysterious female ally, but her depth isn’t fully explored. Works more as supporting eye-candy than a driver of plot. Her death so unnecessary

Ning ziyu - Villain but ain't villaining? Ambitious but shallow — his plotting feels predictable.More of an annoying antagonist than a true mastermind.
...
The Dauntless Youths is a light, feel-good historical adventure with themes of friendship, loyalty, and youthful courage. But it suffers from weak acting (especially Kunwu), cheap CGI, shallow villains, and underdeveloped character arcs.

If you watch it for fun, camaraderie, and bright youthful vibes, it’s enjoyable in a casual way. But if you’re expecting epic wuxia, strong political intrigue, or polished acting/visuals, it will likely disappoint.

And if you ask romance, this drama aren't a romance drama.
