I definitely have complaints for DY tho I really enjoy watching it throughout! Loved the bromance but wished they showed it more (like they always parted ways which made me sad every time LOL). And for a wuxia, I feel like the romance was quite a lot instead oof. Especially with Dingzhi and Wenjun which was a big deal for them (not into their romance bc it doesn't feel like true love). Still have yet to finish this drama tho since Viki hasn't finished airing it there yet! But yes, I prefer TBOY more! Even the bromance / friendship there I feel is stronger. I think you will really love this drama :)

Looked forward to watch him for the first time in AJTL! His role was not expected lol but man he's such a great actor! Can't believe it's his first historical drama too! I am amazed to see his load of upcoming dramas! Most of them I've been looking forward to! Can't wait for them all!!

Moonlight Mystique, FSM: Sword and Beloved, Tales of Dark River, Shui Long Yin, and Eternal Faith!! Oh boy am I in for a ride! Go get em roles, Chang Hua Sen!!

My hope for Eternal Faith to air is dropping tho... It better come out eventually!!

I really want this out soon. Will the wait be eternal? Please nooo!! ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Wow, this is so random, but I was just looking at Flora Dai's (Ye Ruoyi in TBOY) upcoming dramas and was shocked to learn that she will have 3 more dramas where Li Hongyi is the ML (who plays ML in TBOY too)... Now just seeing that makes me wanna see them as a couple at least once! I think that'd be super cool to see!

It is confirmed :)

Definitely! Btw, fun fact! Three of the DY cast are actually in IAN which is the main reason why I decided to watch it now 😆 They are the actors of Baili Dongjun (which you obv alr know), Lei Mengsha, and Nangong Chunshui! I also heard about how close the characters of Neo Hou and Wanyan Luorong (who plays Lei Mengsha) are, so I'm excited to see it hahaha~

Also yayayay glad that you watched TBOY!! I'm totally looking forward to Fangs of Fortune too! When I watched the trailer like a few months back, I was intrigued! It is rumored to come out soon this year which is exciting!! I bet it's gonna be so good!!

If you want one with Neo Hou, maybe try I Am Nobody? I just started it a couple days ago and am only on ep 7, but it's reaaally good so far! I think you might enjoy it a lot! It's not historical but it's really not your typical drama, a very unique plot and concept. Even ppl where historical outfits there when it's modern day lol. Anyways you might like it!

Also yessss go ahead and watch The Blood of Youth! It's one of my top favorites!! Also it's great that you watch DY b4 TBOY or else you might already know how DY would end. It's nice to watch TBOY right after DY too. So I highly recommend it~ Watch TBOY once you finish DY (if you haven't already) :)

When I watched LBFAD last year, I was honestly so in awe of him... He's so handsome, but also a really great actor! When I found out that he was also gonna appear in DY, I was really looking forward to seeing how he would play his character! He really gives off such a different vibe in both dramas, which had me stoked and in awe!! And I gotta say, he's definitely one of my favorite characters in DY now hehe~ I really look forward to his future dramas! Let's go, Zhang Chenxiao!!

P.S. I just started IAM (I Am Nobody) since I'm still waiting for all the eps for Dashing Youth to come on Viki lol not only bc I was so intrigued after reading the synopsis and watching the trailer, but also bc I found it so cool that not only Zhang Chenxiao is in it, but also Neo Hou and Wanyan Luorong who also play in DY, so I was like, "Why not watch it?" and I'm loving it so far! I haven't seen Zhang Chenxiao yet, but I'm excited for his appearance!!

I've been thinking about watching this in the future too. You can find it on Youtube. Here's a playlist of all the eps :)

Okay, wait... I didn't recall Su Muyu and Changhe appearing until they appeared again after many episodes. They really change the entire cast that are guest roles it looks like lol. I don't mind much actually. In fact, I'm even looking forward to seeing how they play their characters! Looking forward to Gong Jun and Chang Huasen especially!!

He really made me fall in love with his portrayal of Lei Wujie in The Blood of Youth. One of my favorite characters out of the dramas I've watched, really... I really look forward to how he will do in season 2. I'm also looking forward to his future works, especially Moonlight Mystique~ :)

Whoever wants to see Neo Hou and Wanyan Luorong again, then I definitely recommend Dashing Youth! I live for their relationship there too hahaha it does suck that they replace him tho in this drama ㅠㅠㅠㅠ But anyways, I can't wait to watch it! Will do it after I finish Dashing Youth!!

Edit: Decided to watch this while waiting to watch the next DY eps on Viki :D

Ig Dashing Youth can make up for it since they have a lot of screentime there together, and I live for their relationship xD I have yet to watch IAN tho... It's sad that he won't be in S2, like they should've just released it as an entire season atp oof!

Wow, idek which casting is right atp lol if Dongjun is supposed to be younger than Su Muyu like you said, then the cast should be the younger ones, while the actress of Li Hanyi shouldn't even be there oof... Which one is really right?

The casting looks so confusing... There's the now grown up Li Hanyi playing in this drama, but then there's Sikong Changfeng and Xiao Ruofeng being like the same age as her... But then, Baili Dongjun NOT played by Neo Hou but instead by the older version... Dang, which one's right, and which one's wrong?

Btw, no spoilers for Dashing Youth since I haven't finished that one yet!

Currently watching Dashing Youth, and seeing Neo Hou, Wanyan Luo Rong, and Zhang Chen Xiao in the cast, it makes me look forward to watching this drama even more in the near future!

A few days later: Decided to watch this while waiting to watch the next DY eps on Viki :D

I'm currently watching Dashing Youth and recognized Tang Lianyue since he will be in this drama! It's quite unfortunate that they don't use the same actor though :( I quite like his acting and charisma that I've seen of him in DY. But anyways, I'm definitely gonna look forward to this!

Definitely gonna watch this while it's airing. Well, I won't watch it until it goes on Viki which is said to be scheduled a week after it starts airing, so I'm excited!

Lol that's true. I watched TBOY like 5 months ago, so I have some memory of the story. I remember finding out about this prequel and I was surprised and excited, and also kinda wished I didn't watch TBOY yet, but at the same time don't regret it bc it was soooo good! I guess luckily I don't remember the story much tho, except for the ending of the female lead.

Last year was the year I decided to start watching Chinese dramas of the xianxia and wuxia genres. It was really new to me, but after learning about them, I felt that it was something I was looking for for a long time!

The first drama I watched of the genre was L&R, and I was amazed with the intro song! Then I watched like 4 more xianxia/wuxia dramas that year. 4 out of 5 of them had Liu Yuning's OSTs, which had shocked me, so I really got used to him singing OSTs! He became my favorite Chinese singer after being awestruck by every OST of his from every drama I've watched!

I did not know he was also an actor. I don't remember how I learned it, but I think I may have searched his name up in Chinese (copy and paste) because I was curious about him. When I went on this page of his, I was surprised to find out that he was also an actor.

After learning that he was an actor, I really wanted to start watching his dramas. And I FINALLY watched my first one with AJTL which I just finished a couple days ago (surprisingly on Chen Youwei's (Yuan Lu) birthday which I did not know in advance). Omg, it is literally a 10/10! He was so perfect for the role! I can't imagine anyone else playing Ning Yuanzhou. He did AMAZING!! Can't wait to watch his other works!

Not only is Liu Yuning an incredibly talented singer, he is also an amazing actor! What a special talent he has!
