Dafeng is worth it. ?
I accidentally saw the GOTD in some site and think that it is not the typical drama coz its so funny to me. Got to search about it and waited for it to be released.For me Wang Hedi's acting in GOTD is so natural. The role is really meant for him. He's really good in fighting and action scenes. I really don't get the negative comments especially about his voice. He's improving and its good to see it.
Tian XiWei though she's not in every episodes but her crying may moved you. I love her crying scenes and how her character developed from every time she's on screen. And if you really look into the little details, you'll know why she's having that personality.
I also got hooked about the supporting characters. You gotta love them all to really appreciate the whole story. Though sometimes I forgot who's who when they have a little screen time but essential to the story. And yes there are flaws with some of the characters, but that's what they are just like in real life. Every person have different personality.
About the romance in the drama, again if you really look into the little details you will know how the romance progress. It's cute and subtle. I hope they show it more in season 2 if they plan to do it.
Comedic scenes are in every episodes especially when Xu Family are together and the Team Yang Yan too.
Overall GOTD is worth the watch and really like it. Story is really good, portrayal of the actors and actresses are really great. The Guardians and Realm Sect are badass! Song Ting Feng, Guang Xiao, Li Yu Chun, Nangong Qian Rou and of course Yang Yan you also have my heart.
There are more story to unfold so looking forward for Season 2. Hope they announce it soon and they maintain all the actors and actresses.
Mushroom Army FTW!

What truly sets "Guardians of the Dafeng" apart is its heart.
"Guardians of the Dafeng" is an absolute masterpiece that has redefined my expectations for modern dramas! From the very first episode, I was drawn into the vibrant world of Dafeng City, where humor, action, and mystery intertwine seamlessly.
Dylan Wang delivers a phenomenal performance as Xu Qi An, embodying the character with such charm and relatability that you can’t help but cheer him on.

The writing is sharp and witty, with clever dialogue that had me laughing out loud. The comedic timing is impeccable, providing just the right balance to the more intense moments of the plot. I found myself invested not only in the main storyline but also in the character arcs, which are thoughtfully developed throughout the series.
Visually, the show is stunning! The cinematography captures the essence of the setting beautifully, and the production quality is evident in every scene. The action sequences are thrilling, keeping you at the edge of your seat, while the lighter moments provide a delightful contrast.
What truly sets "Guardians of the Dafeng" apart is its heart. The themes of friendship, loyalty, and justice resonate deeply, making it more than just a typical crime drama. Each episode leaves you with a sense of fulfillment and a yearning for more.

Laughing i, Laughing, be excited , and then laughing again
This is a story about fiction world. I just started To watch because of Dylan. But I find myself to watch every second.**
**
First two or three episodes I thought princess is annoying. She acted like a child. And I thought how their relationship could be. It can’t be work.
Buut I was wrong. After she found her friend die she is so brave. Also I can feel her sadness. FL can show us to real emotion. I almost cried
Their relation is very nature . They didn’t make big action. Just fallen love. He thought she is cute and brave and then loved her.
I laugh every second to family scenes. they are so funny. also friendship is amazing. not just a bromance they also show man-woman friendship. so cute. His cousin is really drama queen. I watch him just like Qi An. Dylan’s character is so funny and speak very well. He adapted to world easily. it was amazing. I can’t wait to watch.
**
But now I am watching episode 33 and little bit angry. Because ML and FL don’t have screen time. We can’t watch our girl. They don’t see each other properly last 10 episode together. I’m getting annoyed. Where is she? She is in the dark. I thought after her friend died she will have her own story. But she just left. I hope they have more screen time.
And no screen time in this episode too. Why they said Female lead, she is just support character
**
Episode 34
This ship scene is so silly. If he miss her why he didn’t go to see her. Why he has to swim . -_-
It just a little little idea… he has a strong intense with Nangong. I don’t want to accept this but if she will be FL maybe we can find more romantic stories. Because princess disappear again.
I lost the story. Who is this women with white hat. What happened….
***
I back to story again. I finished now and I love it. I am really confused Dylan’s best role is this one or Love Between Fairy and Devil. I can’t choose now. maybe I should watch Devil again. but for romance Devil is the best. I saw the rumor about season 2. I hope so .
I really want to see a man who didn’t show his face. It was very funny.
I also love women in the story. You can’t see weak women. All of them is strong even Princess.

Alone in a foreign land, i'm an exile.. whenever holidays come I miss my kin even more.
From the moment This show was announced, It went straight up my watchlist.Fast forward to now, I’ve watched 28 episodes, and wow, what a ride it’s been! An absolute gem, delivering a perfect mix of emotions, action, and thrills. I am totally hooked and here' why ...First of all, Dylan Wang. I mean, is there anything this guy can’t do? His charm, acting, and energy are on another level. Every time he’s on screen, it’s impossible to look away, fighting villains, or delivering heartfelt lines, he’s perfect in all .Honestly, he could just stand there, and I’d still be entertained.
2) This drama is literally serving a genre buffet under the sun comedy, romance, crime, action, suspense, thrill, friendship, brotherhood—you name it.
3) The plot flows smoothly with zero dull moments. The events are perfectly assembled, and the writing? Brilliant !!!!! especially the poetic dialogues and comedic sequences.
4) The entire cast is amazing, Not a single weak link. All the actors from his aunt to mentor are nailing their roles, and I especially love the female leads— such talented beauties all having a unique dynamic chemistry with Dylan.
5) The relationships in this drama, whether family, friends, or colleagues, feel so real and meaningful. The way his family goes above and beyond to save him during troubles even when that's not even his biological family , numerous times his uncle took a beating for me ..his aunt who was first so indifferent towards him gradually turned so warm and collected. His friends, always standing by him..~ loyal and unwavering ..and his mentor, willing to destroy the entire sect to avenge his 'death' —pure gold. This drama resonates all the bonds in a person's life so beautifully, making me feel lonely in my own life ❤️
6) Cinematic Action & VFX are dazzling lifelike, each sequence is grand and cinematic, making it a visual feast.Plus the choreography in action scenes ~ Mind-blowing.
7) Attention to Details in the set designing, is a chef’s kiss almost like pulling you right into the world of Dafeng.
8) The intricate styling and lovely costumes .. even when they were not very specially designed but still giving that genuine feudal era vibes and Putting the scenes in harmony with the characters enhancing the overall aesthetic of the drama
9) And the OST—don’t even get me started! I usually don't pay attention to songs but Common Men and Immortal Poet have been on repeat since I heard them.
10) What I love most is the message this drama sends: if you’ve got talent and stay true to yourself, even the most powerful people will come to you.
I am looking forward to the upcoming episodes...

A well balanced act
I found this drama had the right amount of silly to balance the gravitas towards the bed of the series. I enjoyed every single episode. I didn’t mind that it was not a romance heavy series but all the main characters were outstanding. I do wish they gave the Princess a little more air time. For someone who hasn’t read the novel, the final scene was a bit predictable.I am really interested to see what the next season holds even if there is different actors.
This was definitely worth the watch.

Theee bestttt!
I have watched many K-dramas, C-dramas, and J-dramas, but I am particularly a fan of Chinese costume dramas. This one really made me cry! Dylan Wang is an exceptional actor; I don't think there is another performer who can move me emotionally like he does—his performance is truly on another level. The storyline of the drama is perfect, and the cast is outstanding. I have no complaints at all. Anyone can watch it without hesitation.Was this review helpful to you?

So far so good.
This series is a breath of fresh air after a string of heavy, melancholy dramas. It weaves together suspense, humour, poignant moments, a yearning for justice.Aside of XuQian who will fight for injustice fearless, I also like the supporting casts, especially gong gang, Wei, and Xu's family. Although princess LiAn's character may not appeal to everyone, she definitely has her own imperfections, I am fine with it as it is about time for a difference from the typical clever, scheming protagonists(mainly to protect themselves) . I, for some reason, find someone simple minded like princess Lian could have been a better partner for him, just like like his family, can bring warmth and happiness to him, Someone he actually likes, someone who likes him as well.
Overall, even though it has few fillers (e.g. misunderstanding on princese identity, which was like taking 2 episodes?) which can be used for more important story line, I still enjoy it a lot, especially I do need a break and some lighthearted amusement after a series of deep melodramas. It can be comedic at times, but not the over the top siliness, it evokes both tears and laughter. I find this show so captivating that I am refraining from watching other series concorrurrently until final episode, to dedicate my full attention to its story line and emotional journey that this series can offer. My youngest has also become engaged, a rarity among the other series I had followed before.
My personal favorite scenes would be:
1. XuQian vs the Avatar - it is brilliant
2. XuQian vs Zhou Li
3. XuQian vs Chu and the gong gang who tries to plead for him
4. Emotional moments of him trying to seek justice for bloody mascare and Zheng.
5. Funny moments and interactions especially from the Xu family members
*Spoiler*- please make sure you stay until end of the song for credit, extra

Colossal Chinese drama with each different episode of themes and dynamic plot
The detailed story details are packed with epic, all series, mystery one by one is revealed and not yet known who must be blamed in the drama plotHonestly, if you want to watch a colossal drama with many beautiful women, this drama is very recommended, in every scene every plot there are always many beautiful and elegant women, from the top circles, daughters to the bottom, criminals all consist of beautiful women
Good quality acting is also felt in this drama. Every face and situation conditions in the drama like you can feel directly. Some flashback scenes are also neatly packaged so as to build emotional viewers
This drama combines various genres such as entering the world of animation and magic, and also the mystery that is combined into one, each episode we will be introduced to various plots and mysteries that various kinds, even the plot twist at the end will be very astonishing so I don't feel bored at all When you see it
A good drama is accompanied by a good music, this drama is no exception. Music quality is very pleasant in my memory, it's like integrating with the story and emotional of the players
Expect season 2 or immediately read a follow -up book: honestly the sequel of their story is very interesting to discuss, from the point of view of the drama details there is still much that can be developed in season 2 to be able to create a plot that is related to season 1, but like other dramas, we can only wait Clarity

Guardians of the Dafeng has had quite the journey!
Initially, I found the first few episodes a bit slow, but I agree that the story really starts to pick up as it progresses. The pacing improves, and the plot becomes more engaging, which is a relief!One of the highlights of the show is definitely the humor. There are plenty of hilarious moments that had me laughing out loud, which adds a nice balance to the more serious elements of the story. It’s great to see a show that can mix action and comedy so well!
Dylan, in particular, had me praised for his acting chops. As fan I have noticed his growth and improvement, especially in comedic scenes. It’s always nice to see an actor evolve and really find their stride in a role.🌟
