A little deceptive
I’m at episode 29 and, I can’t understand why they have listed Tian XiWei as a FL lead when she has barely been seen in multiple episodes. She is the only person he has shown any affection, but there has other females who have had a lot more screen time than her. If they just just wanted to showcase Dylan Wang , then just do that. I felt the cast list is misleading. I happen to like Tian XiWei, as much as Dylan Wang, so far I’ve been a little disappointed, the storyline has been okay a little bit more on the comic side than I thought, but okay. Hope I see more of her in these last 11 episodesWas this review helpful to you?
MUST WATCH!
Its cheesy but with the group of actor aired on the drama has great charisma. I haven't binged watch a Chinese drama in a long while and this show kept me on the edge of my seat. It has everything for every one to Wuxia action, Crime solving, all the way to romance.The next thing you know I've caught up with the current episode.
You can now watch it on You tube and still want get the rest to get uploaded. CANT WAIT!

A Captivating blend of history, fantasy and mystery
I really enjoyed watching Guardians of the Dafeng. From the very start, the story had its own charm with a great mix of history, fantasy and mystery.Dylan Wang did an amazing job as Xu Qi An, he was funny, serious and really brought his character to life. I also really enjoyed the female lead, Tian Xiwei. Her role as the Princess was strong and their chemistry made the story even better.
The plot kept me hooked the whole time with lots of surprises and exciting moments.
The costumes and sets were beautiful and the music fit perfectly with the mood of the show.
The supporting actors were great too and helped make the story richer.
Overall, this drama was really fun and interesting to watch and it made me think about some deeper themes. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes historical dramas with fantasy and action.

GOLD!!
Wow! Just finished watching this show. What a rollercoaster and what a magnificent show!Every episode is filled with outstanding acting and action scenes, has a great and very original mix of Wuxia and story-telling, is non-repetitive, has wonderful performances all around by everyone and Wang Hedi is showcasing his amazing talent above all. He plays very naturally, has the ability to make you laugh out loud and with his wide range of emotions showcases all the qualities of a truly very gifted actor.
Added bonus is the music, I can hear that Ordinary Man-song by GAI easily for another 10 times per evening. Yes...I watched the whole show in 4 days :-), it is built like a page-turner.
The humour in this show is what made me rethink watching Chinese series. Perhaps this is as good as it gets, but hopefully we'll see a second season of this masterpiece soon. I cannot wait to see another 40 episodes!!

One Word: Masterpiece!
I don't know where to begin.This drama captured my heart in the first episode. I loved the action, humor, martial arts, mystery, side of romance, characters. The storyline was amazing and intriguing. All of the characters were so entertaining. I loved that they explored the themes of justice, friendship, brotherhood, and loyalty. Of course they explored so much more. I loved how with each episode they left you wanting more and the cliff hangers maybe that's why I could finish it in 5 days.
I loved Dylan Wang as Yang Ling/ Xu Qian; he was such a incredible character. Dylan Wang brought him to life and he acted beautifully! He was my favorite character out of the whole drama. He gave so much life to this drama, he's is one of the reasons why I love this drama so much! He was such a complex and relatable character to me. He is really inspiring to stand up for what you believe in and to stand up against the injustices of the world.
"It's easy to fool the common people, but it's hard to deceive the heavens." - Xu Qian
Each character brought you with so much. You either loved them or hated them.
The music was beautifully composed and sung; I loved the music so much! The production team did so well with everything. I applaud the entire staff of this drama. They did so well. Each actor did so well!
Overall: 10/10; I would definitely recommend to watch this. It was so well crafted. I really hope that there is a season 2!

might be the besst xianxia i've watched
this show was funny, entertaining, engaging for the viewer, satisfying (especially the last few epidoes).i started watching this show just as i was going through a slump of leaving every show i started watching unfinished. but this show truly cured my slump.
the actors did a great job, i was rooting for xu qian's success all the way from the start to the very end. it was throughly funny especially with the way the show didn't seem to take itself extremely serious and just made fun of the exaggerations that are almost always present with the xianxia dramas. i was entertained from the very start to the end, definitely one of my new favorite shows. very excited for the second season.

10 of 10 for me
it's may favourite Dylan Wang's character, tbh my all time favourite character, I just love Xu QiAn, he is not an angel and all upright but he has a good heart, he is not a superhero, he is just an ordinary man, but brave, Smart & cunning who discoverers the deep meaning of lifeit was a little romance but it was far better than all those long romantic dramas with average chemistry and boring dialogues, every single romantic scenes was beautiful & assisted with beautiful voice of Charlie Zhou

Light, refreshing and a bit of comedy
This show brought me back to my shounen anime times and I love it! The comedic relief was well placed and the storyline was interesting but not too complex and deep. The cast did a great job brining the characters to life but I just didn’t vibe with the romance. Nothing against the actors, I just think the characters didn’t fit well together. In eyes, besties would’ve worked better.Hoping for season 2!

Good series, not addictive, worth seeing for Dylan Wang's performance!
Isékai adventure series with DYLAN WANG (immersion in a role-playing game)PLOT: A team of real estate salespeople does a role play. The ML finds himself in a universe structured by the Guardians (bronze, silver, gold), the Office of Astronomy, the Scholars and of course the nobles and the Court (with a paranoid and psycho emperor). He will make his way by solving cases, until he becomes a powerful warrior, helped by a band of rather mysterious martial artists.
+++ A role that allows Dylan Wang to show all facets of his talent
+++ Excellent actors, bringing endearing characters to life (family, martial arts gang, guards)
+++ High quality special effects (fight scenes, CGI)
+++ excellent OST
### Confused Storyline
### The viewer is aware that all this takes place in an immersive role-playing game, so this creates a distance, from the unfolding of the action.
### some characters are there to lighten the story (aunt, uncle, 2nd princess) but they are excessive.
=> Good series, not addictive, worth seeing for Dylan Wang's performance!
***********************************************************************
Série Isékai d'aventure avec DYLAN WANG (immersion dans un jeu de rôle)
PLOT: Une équipe de vendeurs en immobilier fait un jeu de rôle. Le ML se retrouve dans un univers mêlant les Gardiens (bronze, argent, or), le Bureau de l'Astronomie, les Érudits et bien sûr les nobles et la Cour (avec un empereur parano et psycho). Il va faire son chemin en résolvant des affaires, jusqu'à devenir un puissant guerrier, aidé par une bande d'artistes martiaux assez mystérieux.
+++ Un rôle qui permet à Dylan Wang de montrer toutes les facettes de son talent
+++ Excellents acteurs, donnant vie à des personnages attachants (famille, gang d'art martial, gardiens)
+++ Effets spéciaux de qualité (scènes de fight, CGI)
+++ OST excellentes
### Storyline embrouillée
### Le spectateur est conscient que tout cela se déroule dans un jeu de rôle immersif, donc cela créée un certain recul, une distance, par rapport au déroulement de l'action.
### quelques personnages sont là pr alléger l'histoire (tante, oncle, 2e princesse) mais ils sont excessifs.
=> Bonne série, pas addictive, à voir pour la performance de Dylan Wang !

When is season two coming out?
Another masterpiece nobody talks about. This series is well-written, especially in the investigative, mystery, and comedy genres, which really kept me entertained throughout the entire series, and it didn't have a single flaw. What I really enjoyed about this series the most was the intellectual part some of the characters played, like Xu Qi An and Wei Yuan, which I find really engaging, from how they discover some of the mysteries in the story, to how they plan their schemes and execute them to forward their plans, had had me really excited as i like when characters play smart in series.Although the romance genre was subtle, it still gave us temporary satisfaction between the two main characters as they care for and support one another. I always love it when the time-travel genre is infused with the fantasy genre, which kind of makes me feel energised and intrigued to watch the particular series. However, I also don't like the movie directors and writers leaving me with a cliff-hanger, as I hate being left curious and wondering what will happen next. And the perfect example is My Journey to You.
Lastly, I would absolutely recommend this series for anyone to watch. ^~^

Dylan is the perfect fit for this role
Ok first of all Princess Lin'an is a super-annoying character, and I almost gave up on the show when she started getting more screentime. Luckily, I powered through and was not disappointed.This show was so fun and lighthearted for most episodes that I wasn't prepared for Xu Qi'an's transformation (albeit provoked) into a no-nonsense, bone-breaking, body-dragging, enemy-beheading executioner. I thought it was an interesting progression for his character development, and perhaps the start of an arc where he would be feared rather than loved. I was curious about what would happen next. But, to my dismay, the writers took the easy way out and essentially "reset" everyone's memory with a spell of forgetfulness.
Aside from the lousy ending, I felt like there were some lazy plot holes here and there throughout the show... but overall, it was still quite entertaining. Definitely looking forward to a second season.
