Dashing Youth - Lost Me Halfway Through
I started watching Dashing Youth mainly because of the two male leads, and even while rewatching, my feelings haven’t really changed. I tend to skip scenes in C-dramas and come back to them later when I have nothing else to watch, which is why I ended up watching this one again. One thing that really bothered me is the unnecessary romance. I don’t mind romance when it’s done well, but in this drama, even though it’s little to none, it still feels annoying because it’s handled so subtly that it ends up dragging down the story instead of adding to it. Ye Dingzhi’s character especially went downhill for me once he started prioritizing his childhood friend. There’s a lot to say about the other characters too. The drama started off really strong, but as I kept watching, it just got even worse. What irritated me the most was the timing, Baili Dongjun finding out about Ye Dingzhi at the same time Ye Dingzhi was dealing with his childhood friend, absoluetly annoying. At first, I feel like it was interesting, but then the romance started to take over, and that’s when I got annoyed. I knew what I was getting into though, but I was really hoping to see more of my fav trio, Baili Dongjun, Sikong Changfeng, and Ye Dingzhi.Was this review helpful to you?

Well done, but I was hoping for more.
Season 2 of Bloodhounds was great, but I was hoping for even more. I knew what to expect, though. It’s clear that everything they’ve been through has really affected them, and I really loved how much it impacted Kim Gun-Woo. I don’t see them as weak; I think the people they’re fighting against this season were just more skilled than in seasons 1. Season 1 was fresh and exciting, while season 2 had some moments that didn’t quite hit the mark. Still, every episode kept me hooked. I’m also a sucker for found family, so the relationship between the Mom, Gun-Woo, and Woo-Jin was one of the only things that really kept me engaged. I still feel like something was missing, but I just can’t quite put my finger on what I was really looking forward to.Was this review helpful to you?
