Su Mu Yu, such a hottie assasin and by far my favourite 'villain' in this shared universe. But not sure how I feel about Gong Jun playing such a naunced character.

I've watched a few of his dramas so far and the only role I thought he nailed was his 'Wen Ke Xing' in Word of Honor.

Jiang Zhen Hao was great as Su Mu Yu in 'The Blood of Youth' and Cheng Hong Xin is so far nailing the role in 'Dashing Youth'.

Yup I agree. The production / director did great with the casting. From the styling, Wanyan Luo Rong and Ao Rui Peng even somehow look alike in some angles. Though I have to say the father is bounds more clever/sly than his son...Lei Wu Jie was too innocent and gullible.

If you don't mind being spoiled.

Ye Ding Zhi falls in love with Xiao Ruo Jin's consort (Yi Wen Jun / Consort Xuan) and they (Emperor Xiao Ruo Jin and Consort Xuan) already have a son together - the Seventh Prince (Xiao Yu / Prince Chi).

Later, Ye Ding Zhi kidnaps Consort Xuan from the palace and they have a son together (Wu Xin) - so Prince Chi is half-brothers with both Xiao Se (main character from The Blood of Youth and the Sixth Prince) and Wu Xin (Xiao Se's best friend).

Just watched the first episode - good start and I'm hooked~~~

Cheng Hong Xin's Su Mu Yu is spot-on to Jiang Zhen Hao's Su Mu Yu from The Blood of Youth. The same demeanor, vibe and feel!

Great casting with Wanyan Luo Rong as Lei Meng Sha, can already see Lei Wu Jie's carefreeness in him.

How meta and awesome is it that Bai Shu (TBOY - Xiao Ling Chen) and Fan Jin Wei (TBOY - Xiao Chong / Prince Bai) return to play their fathers' roles respectively as Xiao Ru Feng and Xiao Ruo Jin - so from cousins to brothers.

Looking forward to Bai Shu's appearance - he really stole the limelight in the few scenes he appeared in TBOY.

Now I just have to turn off my TBOY brain so that I can fully immerse myself into the story without comparing the two dramas.

No, this is the prequel to The Blood of Youth. If anything, you will be spoiled as the past is mentioned in TBOY (as in who lives / who dies and the romantic partners). However, those who are a fan of the sequel are all looking forward to seeing the backstories of the preceding generation and putting faces to names that were mentioned throughout TBOY.

But don't let this stop you from watching TBOY, it's a great drama (it's not very often I rate a drama 10/10); you just decide whether you want to watch this before, after, or parallel to the Dashing Youth.

I was wondering why the Empress's brother looked so familiar! It was Hanson Ying or rather I know him as 'Ba Ye' (八爷) from "The Mystic Nine" - one of the best comedy relief supporting roles in a cdrama.

Thanks for this! You're right, I can see 李欣泽 mentioned on the announcement. :)

For fans of Neo and Wanyan Luo Rong's bromance (Wang Ye / Zhuge Qing) from 'I am Nobody' and are disappointed Wanyan Luo Rong didn't return for season 2 should be happy to know he has a supporting role here, though the bromance in Dashing Youth will be featured on the characters Baili Dongjun & Ye Ding Zhi instead.

Strange Tales of the Tang Dynasty was a dark horse. Season 2 will air starting on the 18th July.

Dashing Youth starring Neo Hu (Wang Ye) and Wanyan Luo Rong (Zhuge Qing) has a supporting role will air on the 19th July. It's the prequel to The Blood of Youth (also highly recommended so give that a chance if you haven't yet).

I'm on episode 3 and I am thisclose to wanting to chuck something at the PD/director of the show. They've rigged the show numerous times (like the fish being unable to be sold, and all the additional 'buts' that caused Deng Chao's team to lose despite earning more money in sales at the market, their money prize from the impersonation contest becoming a worthless voucher) and they had no respect for Deng Chao at all. I got so mad that despite knowing that he was having digestive issues (e.g. constipation) for four days, they still gave him dried naan and the ridiculous meager pickled meal to eat on the luxury flight. Yet the PD team claimed 'rules are rules' despite breaking the rules themselves.

As am empath, I am seriously triggered for Deng Chao.

Woohoo! Thanks for the update. I was anticipating this to be released at the end of the month.

Next week will be a great week with Strange Tales of the Tang Dynasty S2 (July 18th) and Dashing Youth releasing.

YoYo 's trailer clickbaited me. I thought Huang Jun Jie was the ML but he's listed as a guest role here.

Great trailer, can't wait to see this - hopefully it'll be out before or around the same time as The Blood of Youth S2.

Is Li Xin Ze not returning as Tang Lian? If we take the extra as canon (and that Tang Lian didn't die in the original novel), shouldn't we expect to see him onscreen in season 2?

Can't wait! Not long now~~~~

Yes! I just saw both of them in the newest intro - so happy to see them there again (I was so disappointed when they weren't on the the previous animated intro). Can't wait to see an episode with them back and completing the H6! family again.

And love that Li Xue Qin is also in this intro. I thought the production did her wrong by omitting her in 2023's intro.

Anyone else thinks he looks like a mix of Darren Chen and Ao Rui Peng? I actually thought he was Darren Chen when he first appeared on screen.

So excited, I can't wait for this to be released. I'm so happy they've managed to retain the original cast in S2.

Just noticed him in the trailer previews for "Fangs of Fortune" and "Feng Ying Ran Mei Xiang" today. I nearly mistook him for Wang Xing Yue in the second trailer!
