I’d been curious about this one for a while, but when I heard it had a second season, I got a bit lazy to start it. But I finally gave it a try… and wow, I’m so glad I did!
Finally—a sequel that actually feels like a sequel, not just a nameless spin-off or something slapped together with a "Part 2" label, like what happened with Ancient Love Poetry and The Last Immortal. I’m really happy when Dashing Youth (that comes out later even though that’s the prequel) not changing any names from this. Since I watched Dashing Youth first, it was really happy to recognize the characters names when watching this.
Anyway let's talk drama…
The story follows a group of young martial artists on their journey of growth, discovery, and destiny.
It opens with Lei Wu Jie, a passionate young disciple who is eager to prove himself. His journey takes an unexpected turn when he accidentally damages the Villa of Fallen Snow while trying to fend off some robbers. The villa is run by the innkeeper, Xiao Se. To make up for the trouble, Wu Jie invites Xiao Se to travel with him.
Along the way, they meet more companion—Wu Xin, Sikong Qian Luo, Tang Lian, and Ye Ruo Yi—and get swept into a much bigger adventure filled with danger, secret identities, and palace intrigue—long-buried battle for the throne.
As secrets begin to unravel, one of them must face the truth of their past and decide whether to embrace a destiny far greater than they ever imagined.
That's pretty much the story without giving the spoiler. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ The strong & great friendship between all the characters.
+ A beautiful martial art dance choreography—some of the most beautiful martial arts performances I’ve seen.
+ A beautiful mix of martial art & palace intrigue.
+ A seamless continuation between Dashing Youth and The Blood of Youth.
+ Like many Wuxia-focused dramas, there’s very little romance.
+ No open ending or annoying cliffhanger—something I really appreciate, especially with a second season already confirmed
What I don’t like:
– Many BS about sword power & soul.
Overall, The Blood of Youth is a beautifully crafted wuxia drama with strong character bonds, elegant fight scenes, and a compelling storyline. If you enjoyed Dashing Youth, you’ll definitely want to continue with this one.
I’m excited to see what happens next—I can’t wait to watch the next part of their journey!
