It does have similar vibes, I loved FoF and loved this one too! This also has a very beautiful team of friends, and also the main point of "seemingly bad guy who is actually good and acts for the greater good". I would definitely recommend it!

Liking this so far, but mostly because of JoongDunk's interactions, because the plot is interesting but the police investigation part is too farfetched.

I'm positively impressed by Dunk who, series after series, is getting better and better at acting. It still kinda feels "not natural", mostly in the idle and simple moments (when he walks, or when he listens), but he grew really a lot through the years! Well done, boy!

I thought the same, maybe their group formed in a certain situation which is also the motive behind these murders.

It does, and it's really irritating especially in certain scenes.

I'm watching it rn and I wouldn't say it's a bromance - there is a group of main and secondary leads who all bond through the adventure and they form a wonderful mosaic of friendship, family, brotherhood, camaraderie... and that's the main focus in terms of relationship.
Kinda like "Fangs of Fortune", or "The Blood of Youth" if you've watched them.

As of now (i'm on ep26 rn) this is a very ML-centric drama but since the ML has an amazing charisma you won't definitely mind the fact that everything revolves around him. XD

Thank you, I'm about to watch ep26 so as of now, they just "captured" the Pavillion, saved Zhong Chunji and started their healing journey for TLC. I was in awe during the battle against the bad guys, as I said in one post: this drama has some amazing choreographies when it comes to "people VS people" fights using actual weapons... it kinda reminds me of "Word of Honor", in the sense that I feel like I'm watching a ballet or a classical dance stage instead of a fight: everything is so stunningly beautiful, ethereal and elegant!

I actually started watching this beacause of Xiao Shunyao, and I'm really loving his character... but I think the two actors I'm most impressed with are the main lead and the main antagonist... especially Liu Yan's actor is giving me the chills, he really looks like a crazy mad dog!

Thanks for all the links, I'll give them a watch when I finish the series!

Thank you! I honestly never would have guessed XD

I just finished ep16 and I don't really feel the need of a romantic add to the already so rich story! I'm really enjoying the growing friendship and understanding among the group of main leads tho'.

I can understand, tho', why a female character would fall for Tang Lici because he's such a charismatic lead!

I LOVE this show, there is so much positivity in it!
Thee&Peach have wonderful communication, they are so different but they're really growing together... and so are Thee&Mok who have such a deep bond - their moments are peak, they always show how these two really understand and support each other since childhood!

And you know what, what I mostly love is this heartwarming vibe that exudes from every important scene: Peach coming out to Plub, PeachThee coming out to the Lee family, the whole orphanage moments... there is no "drama tragedy crycrycry it's terrible" mood, somehow I always know Peach and Thee will just sit down for a moment, talks things out, and overcome whatever things might happen.

And I love this, because as a queer person I'm so sick of tragedies and "outcast" vibes when we're talking about BL... we need more positivity, happiness and good energy! <3

And more golden retrievers for everyone! XD

PS, side note.... Santa is one hell of an actor, in his 5 minutes of screentime this episode he could have won an award for his intensity!

So in this winter-wuxia-craze, as I planned I finished Guardians of Dafeng and I finally started this one. <3

I must admit I had some issues adjusting to the pace and graphics of the first few episodes: sceneries and costumes are amazing, and also the fighting scenes that involve actual action from the leads (like Cloud's crescent moon knives fights) ... but some of the CGI scenes, on the other hand, felt somehow sloppy and cringe. Sometimes I honestly prefer simpler direction choices than bad cgi that feels like they wanted to do something but they didn't really nail it.

Anyway, I'm on ep8 rn and the plot is really enthralling, and so are the characters.... plus the ML is very charismatic and you can definitely feel there is muuuuuuuuuch more behind the story, so I can't wait to see how everything turns out!

PS, I love when friendly faces pop up, I was so happy to see Bai Shu and Xia Zhi Guang! <3

I'm sorry to ask, but what does CP stand for?

Is this on the same line of Mysterious Lotus Casebook in terms of mystery/investigation? I LOVED that series and I especially loved the fact that there was no romance but everything was focused on the development of the story and of the characters... and now I'm desperately looking for something similar.

This was one hell of a ride - I laughed, I cried, I giggled, I had peak adrenaline moments and I LOVED each and every episode (the only down moment was that whole "princess mistake" issue at the beginning which felt a bit too long, BUT the ML acting and comedic timing was always on point so... it passed pretty quickly).

Every character was memorable, especially the Guardian team who had insane chemistry as a group and who made me teary eyed every time they acted to uphold justice and their members' efforts/reputation.

The comedy was always there, although I was expecting a bit more (but I'm probably not used to china mainland comedy since I usually watch thai and japanese series) - stellar acting and great OST.

10/10 for me, I can't wait for season two!

And I will say this too, don't laugh at me: Dylan Wang is def very goodlooking and he was an incredible charismatic lead, but I just couldn't stop seeing Kou Shibasaki while watching him! He reminds me so much of her! XD

Oh c'mon, what does it mean there is no new episode today! Sigh! T_T

thank you! I just started watching Guardians of the Dafeng, because most of the comments say the comedy is top-tier and I definitely need some laughs right now… as soon as I finish that one, I will start this one! <3

WHAT A SERIES!
This was my first time watching Cheng Yi's acting (actually, I tried Journey of Legend but wasn't my cup of tea) and it was really amazing, along with the other two main leads: the story is great of course, and so are the characters, but the three actors really made them come to life with such strenght, passion and emotion that I felt like their charisma was the major force of this series.

There were some minor flaws here and there, mostly direction and some sequence cuts, BUT I couldn't stop watching - I bingewatched everything in like... three days? Because I had to know what was happening in the story, but most of all I had to know what was happening to the trio.
LLH, DFS and FDB had their past, their flaws, their strenghts, but most of all their growth that was shown throughout their actions.

If there was a series I would love to forget, just to start watching it again... it would be this one! (...and Word of Honor...!)

10/10, thank you to everyone involved in the creation of this unforgettable journey.

Ok, I see no romance tag for this drama, which for me is a HUGE plus because I'm more into friendship/mystery/adventure/action when it comes to wuxia/xianxia series... can you guys confirm this has no romance?

I loved Aero's role in MLC so I'm curious to see him in other series too, and this seems a nice one!

I swear I'm not crying, no no no...

I love these two (and Mok and Plub and all the others too!)!

Came here looking for this comment, thank you! Finally!

The forensic doctor was sus for me! When he said that he got the group's call for a doctor because the station is short handed? Plus for some reason I can't believe Sing is just there doing a side-side-side kick XD

Hmmmm something feels off about this series, for some reasons I feel like the cuts and scenes are kinda low-budget or not really cared for a lot. I'm liking more Dunk's acting than Joong's this time, which for me is a first but I'm happy to see him improving every time and I hope he keeps it till the end.

And since they asked for our previsions for the killer...
