Warning : Song Weilong looking smoking hots in this.
I actually started watching Youthful Glory because of Song Weilong — he’s just too handsome and absolutely swoonworthy. Every time he appears on screen, it’s impossible to look away. The female lead, Bao Shangen, looks a bit too childish at times, but she’s undeniably a good actress — cute, adorable, and full of life.
I really love how Jiang Xu (Song Weilong) is portrayed — a cold, distant general who looks heartless on the outside but quietly sees everything. He doesn’t care about fame, power, or people’s opinions, yet when it comes to Ming Tan (Bao Shangen), he notices things no one else does. He falls for the real her — not the polite, perfect lady she tries to be, but the small, lonely girl who carries too much responsibility for her age.
After losing her mother and being left by her father, Ming Tan tries so hard to act proper and maintain her family’s dignity. Most of the time, she hides her sadness behind manners. And yes, sometimes she can be so childish 😅 — her sulks and little tantrums make you think, “Girl, he’s out there managing wars and royal orders, and you’re pouting again?” 😂 but I get it gurl. When your man looks that good, who wouldn’t throw a little tantrum for attention? 😩💘
That’s exactly what makes her stand out. She’s not the typical Cdrama strong, outspoken heroine. She’s soft, cutesy, emotional,relatable— yet still smart,useful and capable in her own way. And that’s the beauty of Youthful Glory, I think.
But the real surprise for me was the second couple! 😍
The second male lead, Bai Shu, used to play a villain in The Legend of Female General — and honestly, I already liked him back then. When I saw him appear here as the second male lead, I couldn’t help but fall for him all over again.
And his love interest, Dai Luwa, was the villainess in Moonlight Mystic. I loved her in that drama because she’s incredibly beautiful and charming. So when these two came together in Youthful Glory, their chemistry was off the charts!
Their banter, playfulness, and sweetness — it’s all over the top in the best way. Sometimes, I even found myself enjoying their scenes more than Jiang Xu and Ming Tan’s. They were just too cute together — a total scene-stealing couple! 💕
I have no complaints at all — just a solid, worthy three-day binge watch that left me smiling.
⭐ Rating: 9/10 — Beautiful chemistry, soft emotions, and swoonworthy couples!
