Reviews

The pain of finishing this series is insufferable.

Revenged love literally took my heart out, played with it, stretched it out, tugged it and set it aside!

10/12/2025 (5:40 PM) I just finished watching revenged love and guys my heart is aching so baaad, i need to go to Xiao Shuai's clinic HUHU.

To start off, I want to talk about that ending. Why would they leave me like that. Why would they leave me when I'm miserable knowing that it's the last episode. Especially, when the time stamp is almost reaching it's end. Why would they leave me after letting me know what Chi Cheng went through just to look for Wu Suo Wei's family tree. Not to mention Wu Sou Wei's effort and devotion when Chi Cheng is detained.

And GUYS!! that freaking end credits!!! That literally broke me. Zhan Xuan's (Guo Cheng Yue) angelic voice while the behind-the-scene photos are rolling. I'M SOBBING!! especially when it showed the pics from earlier eps. The one where it's raining, and Wu Suo Wei is pushing the tricycle as Chi Cheng got out the car to help him. Guys help me get out of this misery!!

They literally made us walk with them in different stages of their lives just to leave us at the end. I have the similar feeling when i first watched A Love So Beautiful back in 2017. That feeling of leaving you staring at the ceiling of your room as tears roll down from your eyes, while your lips form into a silly smile after finishing the drama.

But revenged love is a bit different, because I would do anything just to experience the emotions I felt while watching each episode for the first time again! I will surely miss them, SO DAMN MUCH. And I hope nothing but great things and wonderful career for the actors and for the people involve in creating this masterpiece of a series. I truly believe the statement I've read, that Revenged Love will change the standard for all BL dramas! Thank you once again.

Punk Fashion Meets Interesting Love Story

Yes, I know it’s only two episodes into the show, but this is such a solid start.

I didn’t expect to like the story the way I do. I love it; the first episode had my attention from start to finish.

I haven’t read the manga so I have no idea what’s to come but I can tell this will be another great JBL.

I won’t say much about the story to avoid spoilers; but I like the concept, the punk fashion style, the characters, and the plot too so far.

I’ll edit this review as I watch, but this is for anyone wondering if they should start this show - YOU SHOULD!

Great story, wonderful ending

I’m not going to say what the ending is but it is priceless!
I will admit that for me the plot gets a little bit boring in the middle as the main characters take a very loooong time to unearth the truth behind a fire that claimed the lives of many people over a decade earlier but it all make sense in the end.
The ML and FL are brilliant and over time their romance blossoms and they fall deeply in love and there are super angsty bits as well as some lighthearted moments peppered throughout.
Production values, costumes and supporting cast values are high in this drama.
Ding Yuxi is brilliant and provides a stellar performance as the ice cold, totally focused Head of Imperial Guard and is the perfect foil for Anci Deng’s character who is sceptical about finding anything good in their arranged marriage. Over time they learn to trust and enjoy each other’s superior intellect and then love starts to blossom as they realise they are just what the other needs. Twists and turns take this otherwise very pedestrian plot up a notch as bit by bit they put the puzzle pieces together.
Would I watch again? Definitely

✨ Fated Hearts — A Fever Dream of Enemies, Lovers, and Political Chaos

Eeesh, this drama is intense, y’all. When it comes to the ''enemies-to-lovers'' trope, ''Fated Hearts'' doesn’t just dabble—it dives headfirst, blindfolded, with a sword in each hand. They took the ''enemies'' part seriously here, like “we might actually kill each other before we kiss” seriously.

Visually? Gorgeous. The costumes and sets are giving ''Moonlight Mystique'' realness, and with good reason—it’s the same director. You can tell by the way the camera lingers on every word, every glance, every dangerously close-up shot of someone’s lips as they deliver a line that could slice your heart in half. The fight scenes? Chef’s kiss. Beautifully choreographed chaos. Every frame feels deliberate, painterly even. They are serving.

Now, our female lead—an absolute menace and miracle rolled into one. She’s smart, feral, and gloriously unbothered by anyone’s nonsense. Lin Qin is phenomenal—her fight scenes are dope af, but it’s her emotional range that seals the deal. She’s stubborn to the point of self-destruction sometimes (girl, think before charging into swordfights, please), yet she’s also refreshingly straightforward about her feelings. No coy glances or shy retreats—if she loves, she says it. If she’s angry, she shows it. She’s one of the most grounded and emotionally honest heroines I’ve seen in a while.

And then there’s our male lead. Charismatic, complicated, and styled like a sin wrapped in silk. Honestly, this is CZY’s best look yet. The push-and-pull between him and the FL? Electrifying. Their bickering feels like a century-old marriage with swords involved—he’s totally the wife in their arguments, by the way—but when it comes to her safety? He turns into “touch her and perish” mode. The chemistry is lit. Like, burn-down-the-palace lit.

He’s got layers, too. His relationship with his father, the Emperor, is one of the show’s most fascinating dynamics for me. There’s mutual respect buried under mountains of royal politics and emotional constipation. Even when the Emperor opposes him, you can see that reluctant admiration. Then comes episode 24 where the Emperor absolutely loses the plot—his mask slips, and what’s underneath is... yikes. Let’s just say therapy wasn’t invented soon enough.

I also appreciate that—for once—the ML doesn’t treat his subordinates like disposable comic relief. No random lashings or humiliation disguised as “funny.” Instead, they’re comrades, brothers-in-arms, and it makes him so much more likable. And when it comes to protecting the ones he loves? Man doesn’t care about titles, hierarchy, or even his own safety. Swoon, bro. Just swoon.

The ML’s sister, though… Lord help us. She’s the patron saint of oblivious, love-struck chaos. Someone, please, shake her.

The SML? The actor nailed it because every time he appeared, my hand itched for a slap. Still, his life’s been rough—royal families in C-dramas are basically group therapy waiting to happen. The Emperor is unhinged, the politics are venomous, and I now fully believe every crown in this genre is cursed.

And that masked bestie? Yeah, those eyes gave it away, but it still hurt. Emotional damage.

One thing I truly admire: the antagonists make sense. Their motives are layered, rooted in trauma, betrayal, and a dash of moral grey. They don’t wake up one morning and decide to stage a coup for fun. You get why they do what they do, even when you don’t agree. That’s storytelling gold—when a show makes you empathize with the villain without excusing them.

If I’m nitpicking, the drama really loves its flashbacks. Like, please, I just saw that scene five minutes ago—why are we déjà vu-ing again? I get the narrative purpose, but moderation, my friends. Also, somewhere in the second quarter, the pacing stumbled a bit—it got a touch repetitive—but it bounced back strong, especially once the leads’ relationship deepened.

In short? Fated Hearts is a delectable mix of betrayal, politics, passion, and people making terrible decisions for love. It’s messy, magnetic, and beautifully written chaos. I’m loving every ridiculous, heart-throbbing, jaw-clenching second of it. Fingers crossed it stayed that way till the end.

✨Update (25-38)✨

Fated Hearts didn’t just wrap up; it detonated. If the first half was enemies-to-lovers intensity wrapped in court politics, the second half was full-scale emotional warfare dressed in brocade.

First of all, massive shoutout to Qin Tian Yu, the undisputed king of going absolutely feral on screen. My man slayed that role of the completely unhinged Emperor of Jinxiu. Every time he appeared, I knew chaos was about to descend, and I loved every unhinged second of it. Knowing his range from past roles made it even better — he’s a shapeshifter, truly one of the most versatile young actors out there for me.

Now… the ML’s sister. Girl. What exactly did you think was going to happen when you waltzed straight into enemy territory with nothing but optimism and main-character delusion? That the enemy would take one look and fall in love? Spoiler: he kinda did, but not the one you rooted for. If she were the female lead, that might’ve worked. But alas, she’s not — and instead she ends up catching the eye of the emperor, who’s every bit as batshit as he is devoted. And honestly? I shipped it. Don’t judge me. They matched each other’s brand of crazy in a toxically wholesome way — yes, that’s a thing now. On episode 34, their antics completely hijacked my attention. The leads were out here fighting destiny, and I was too busy cackling at this deranged royal love story. Tragic ending for them, of course, but fitting. Some flames are meant to burn out spectacularly....But… my heart broke for her. She didn’t deserve that knife from the SML. For all her naïveté, she never acted out of malice.

Meanwhile, our main couple continued to be everything my jaded drama heart craves. This is mature love done right. No petty misunderstandings, no jealous tantrums, no manipulative tests of loyalty — just two people who’ve been through hell and still choose each other. The amnesia trope (twice!) could’ve gone horribly wrong, but both times, the characters stayed consistent. They remembered who they were at the core. Theirs is the kind of romance that feels like a homecoming after a war — quiet, sturdy, and soul-deep. It’s the emotional equivalent of finding light in the ruins.

Now, yes, I still stand by my earlier rant about the flashbacks — they’re still doing the absolute most. But credit where it’s due: when they showed the fallen comrades, the recap actually helped because my brain could not keep track of all those names. Finally, a flashback that served a purpose.

The Susha royal siblings, though? That reunion fed my soul. Their loyalty, their faith in their older brother — chef’s kiss. The second prince especially surprised me; given his upbringing and that mother, I didn’t expect him to turn out half as decent as he did. Character development unlocked. You go, my dude.

If I had one complaint, it’d be the whole Storm Alliance subplot. It kind of dragged. Like, I get it — domestic issues and all — but it didn’t hit the same emotional note as the main storylines. My brain briefly clocked out during those episodes, not gonna lie.

But when it comes to revenge? Oh, the payoff was divine. I rarely root for vengeance arcs, but watching the ML serve that cold dish with elegance and finality? Delicious. The ending tied everything together beautifully — emotional, satisfying, and just the right amount of bittersweet.

In conclusion: Fated Hearts didn’t just end — it echoed. It left me dazed, impressed, and mildly traumatized. A perfect storm of politics, passion, and poetic justice. It’s not just a drama; it’s a fever dream that lingers long after the credits roll.

Overall Feedback and Opinion anything relating to NongJian twins and their legendary work ABO Desire

This is actually not an actual review, more like about what I feel regarding to everything relating to NongJian, ABO Desire, actors, and production.

First of, I now really look up to the NongJian twins—a mad respect to them for protecting the artists (Eliot, Kipuka, Ocean, Peien) from those attempt partnerships which the prime reason is to gain money and groom these 4 men, and recently, for protecting them from sasaengs of invading their privacy and so on--- making those sasaengs arrested (I believe) and made them post a public apology--- which is this is something that artists deserve --- to be well-protected; I'm so glad that NongJian are true fans who put their money in clean tables---I mean, they are not like those many entertainment companies that sexualises their artists. They done everything they could to make people respect these 4 men, knowing that their country are against LGBTQAI+ Community; and they put their money into good used (which is a dream for me huhu--- who says money can't buy us happiness? ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ) as the government could not interrupt from continuing this project despite having laws relating to homosexuality. I am having nostalgia with YiZhan huhu, I hope they will interact in 2026 in public; but they still not, then that's ok too as long as they are in good terms.

Moreover, the pictures, magazine photos, promotions, so on and so forth, they are all decent---I mean, these 4 men are being photograph not very daring, some photos shows skins but not perverted, and that is what needed, this is what artists deserve!

Aside from that, NongJian are very smart for forming these four men into a group with a 3-year contract (aka Desire4 or D4); which will also benefit D4 because aside from their acting skills, they deserve to be recognize with their other talents--- to showcase what else they can do. Bonus: They are all very gorgeous!

Talking about the novel, I wish they will released an official published English translated book internationally, especially in my country---Philippines. I would love to buy the novel and buy it legally, because that's what they deserve (aaaa I'm so glad that they made it for MDSZ; thanks for existing Mo Xiang Tong Xu, and NongJian---I hope their novel will be published internationally).

Another mad respect for NongJian for being so excellent for choosing the actors, the production; great OST too, plus the actors are the singers too huhu. Btw, am I correct---among the actors who passed the audition for Sheng Shaoyu's character, NongJian let Eliot choose who he wants to be his partner? Or it's just a rumor [that I did not thoroughly investigate if factual haha]?

When it comes to the live adaption, it's all good, tho--- I could not say that it's the best if compared to many other BL series... But, I could say that as the first Omegaverse live series, it is excellent, that's why I'm giving it high score. (Yes, I am one of those people who consider this as the first Omegaverse instead of PitBabe since Babe cannot get pregnant ^^ I consider PitBabe as an example of Guideverse instead, but with terminologies from Omegaverse).

There may not be Season 2, but I am so happy to know that they have 3-year contract, more projects, endorsement and so on. So yeah, mad respect to NongJian twins!

And they finally confess....

I fell in love with the first series, Flourished Peony, and while In the Name of Blossom didn’t quite sweep me off my feet in the same swoonworthy way, it’s definitely worth watching. The storyline and cast are engaging, and the scenic visuals are simply breathtaking. The period costumes and makeup reflect the era accurately — even if they’re not always to my taste, I respect the authenticity.

As I dove into the second series, I hoped for that same vibe and punch — and in many ways, it delivered. However, the emotional weight of the plot was a bit too heavy for me to binge in one go. It took me several weeks to finish, as I often found myself pausing and taking breaks. It’s not a drama I could watch in one sitting, but that doesn’t make it any less meaningful.

One of the highlights of the first series was the incredible chemistry between Yang Zi and Li Xian. Their connection was simply over-the-top and never felt forced. Just as before, they nailed the chemistry so well that it felt like they truly loved each other wholeheartedly.

The villain Liu Duan, who played Mu Dan’s ex-husband, was undeniably handsome — and as much as I tried to dislike him, I couldn’t help but be charmed by his performance. Similarly, the princess, played by Zhang Yaqin, who portrayed the villainess, was too beautiful and too sweet to truly hate. Their fate in the storyline was heartbreaking, and I found myself wishing for a second chance for them — even though their characters were ultimately deserving of their tragic ends.

Overall, In the Name of Blossom is a thoughtful, beautifully crafted drama — definitely more of a slow-burn and emotionally intense experience than a quick binge.

The Best GL so far

Okay so I started watching Thai GLs in 2024 before I watched pluto I have already finished watching Gap, Blank, 23.5, Love senior, Love Bully, My Marvellous Dream is You, The Secret of Us and Affair. What I have to say is that I loved all of the GLs that I mentioned, however Pluto outshines all of them (in my opinion). It probably is due to the fact that this is my type of show, it is messy, the characters are all flawed, a lot of drama but NOT and I emphasize this NOT toxic characters (like in others where one of the girls SA 's the other one or any non consentual stuff). Anyway so far not any GL has topped this one for me.

Racist…

I once read Marry my husband. PHONOMENAL manwha but I read about the change that the author had to make that happened before I read it. It was considered to be the only flaw of the manwha. This change was because the author wrote the Arabic’s as violent tyrants that want tor him everything good, according to the one who read it. It was disgusting and racist. Well… this drama soaked itself in this. It even when far to write the villain as an Arabic child the in the body of a Korean boy, giving the Korean actor the role, not the Arabic actor and making him the sweet victim at the same time, win win for the Koreans but not the Arabic boy. They portrayed the Arabic boy as greedy and vile and a tyrant. They also portrayed Arabic people as such against the Korean characters which where portrayed as just so morally upright, regardless of being the devil. The same characters that are so evil, they don’t flinch when a familiar is being tortured before them. The same Korean characters that are: Satan and a true psychopath, yet they Still found a way to make the Arabic people the most unhuman people in the drama. It wasn’t even one person, they simply created a city of Arabic people and dehumanised all of them to People that are so cruel that they are no longer human. I kept noticing it throughout the entire drama. It was as if matter how wicked and cruel the Korean characters were. They wanted to make sure that the Arabic characters were much more unhuman. By this, I mean lacking so much humanity, they no longer resemble humans. Do you know the perfect characters to portray this lack of humanity? The main Korean characters, except the grandmother. Satan, ka Young, death, and the wicked boy, however, they still managed to circle it back to portraying the Arabic as especially lacking humanity. I was even impressed at how they managed that. They wanted to make it clear that no matter how wicked the devil, death, a wicked boy and a psychopath could be, the Arabic were worse/lacked humanity. They portrayed that anytime they could. What did the Arabic do to them? Not many people have even noticed it even though it is portrayed so blatantly. They constantly compare them to Ka Young, A psychopath, Showing that a psychopath had such morality humanity and kindness that even through her psychopathy she could think to make wishes for other people, and the Arabic were simply wicked, self serving and corrupt.
I simply could not indulge in this story as after every wicked deed that any Korean character did, they would stop and make sure to remind us that either wasn’t the Korean, but an Arabic or that the Arabic are significantly worse. They kept reminding us that the other gin that was held captive and abused by the Korean boy was not a victim even though he was. He was at least offered grace at the end and was rescued. Elijah’s cruelty to humans and his familiar was overlooked and made comical however they never missed an opportunity to show us how wicked the Arabic were. No particular Characters meaning that they generalised all Arabic people. There was no reasoning behind their cruelty, for Example, Being the devil, a psychopath or death, making it clear they were vile by nature, And justifying why Iblis committed mass genocide to the entire city. I said that was no one worth saving. If it had no innocence.
Also, if Iblis was universal, could speak Arabic and adapted his face and body to suit the country, why didn’t they cast an Arabic man, just once? It was as if they would have hives if they put one in the main role on Korean camera.

"Desire" to rewrite the second half again! A mess but a hot one!

I will keep this simple. Starting with positives-

✅ The Concept: My first proper dive into the ABO universe, and I will give credit where it’s due... it’s ambitious and intresting. A world ruled by pheromones, hierarchy and biological destiny isn’t an easy thing to pull off, especially in a Chinese production where censorship is a constant obstacle. The setup promised layers of politics, biology, identity, control and even if it didn’t deliver all of it, the foundation was fascinating enough to keep me curious.

✅ Hua Yong: Easily the most consistently written character in the drama. If I have to describe HY it would be manipulative , psychopath and effortlessly cunning! He doesn't chase control, but he is the control. He was the type who smiles while calculating outcomes, who comforts you just to see how easily you fall apart. Everyone else gets lost in their emotions, but not him. Somehow the little black flag was always one step ahead and disturbingly steady.

All this may sound like I don't like him, but I love him! Haha he was most consistent character who stayed true to his nature until the very end!

If the red flags of the BL world had a conference, Hua Yong would be the keynote speaker and Jaemin from secret relationships , Ming from My Stand In and Vegas from Kinnporche would be in the audience!

✅ OST

Now for what didn’t work (oh boy!)

❌ The Second Couple: This was the Achilles' heel. A colossal waste of potential. Gao Tu and Shen Wen Lang had a setup that could have explored prejudice, deception and redemption. Instead, we got a subplot that felt like deleted footage stitched together. Their chemistry was barely developed and the emotional moments were rushed.

I do get they were the second couple and won't get 50-50 screentime but this was 95-5! I would have not complained if they listed them as side characters and not mains! And those 5% felt like dry leftovers. we are watching them chase their own tails in perfect circles...no growth, no progress, just filler vibes.

If the original source material lacked depth and scenes for them, then adaptation SHOULD HAVE filled that gap, not AMPLIFY it. I don't think this should be an excuse for the ending they gave us. Marketing them alongside the main couple was misleading because realistically they didn't even appear in few episodes together.

And Shen WenLang's backstory never saw the light of the day! Years of trauma was fed to us in normal day to day conversation with Hua Yong in barely a minute! His hate for omegas just felt like comical gimmick!

Again to the bed rock of my question, if you didn't want to address it , why introduce it ???!!!

❌ Both the alphas Shen and Sheng as characters were flat and frustrating. Considering S-Class Alphas are top of the food chain, they both were easy to deceive.
While I liked their chemistry with the their opposites, as an individual character i don't think they have any distinctive qualities to be remembered.

❌ Editing & Direction: Lighting choices were baffling. The editing felt choppy in the second half. I am sure censorship has a big role to play in this.
The fighting scenes between the two alphas were plain comical. While I appreciated the use of CGI for pheromones visuals, the balance was off.

❌ Writing & Pacing Issues: The drama started off so strong like peak potential, every scene hitting just right. But halfway through it started dragging or maybe it was a "me" issue. Don't get me wrong, there was so much going but yet it felt like nothing was actually happening. We are circling the same plot but never moving forward! I kept watching out of hope, not hype.

❌ All the business talks were boring and like background noise. Again, could have used that screentime for maybe something better!

⚠️ I understand this was ABO universe where consent doesn't work like human world and that is okay but the aftermath was never properly addressed and it took me out a bit! I have questions about the lore behind the NC scenes and it was never explained on screen.

⚠️ Acting: Not the worst I have seen, but far from great. Huang Xing as Hua Yong carried the drama with subtle menace and Li Pei En as Gao Tu was excellent in playing the damsel role a little too well while the other two alphas were hit and miss, mostly miss. You could feel the effort, but not always the conviction.

Overall, the concept was great but with weak execution. But it was a fascinating mess! I know it paved the way for ABO concept in BL world and it will always be remembered for that. However, the flaws cannot be overlooked.

Will I recommend it? That's a difficult question. For the new concept , definitely but go in with tempered expectations. As they say, it's better to be surprised than being disappointed.

Legend -
✅ : I loved it !
❌ : Better luck next time.
⚠️ : It wasn't entirely bad but could have been better!

Thank you for reading my review! If you liked the drama, please take this review with a grain of salt and one of the many opinions! :))

Please note - none of the criticism is a personal attack or HATE on the actors or the whole Desire team. I applaud the effort but somehow it didn't entirely worked for me. :(

Lacking in Every Aspect

The first episode had me hooked. It was cartoonish and tropey, yet charming and lighthearted. It didn’t take itself too seriously, and, as an audience member, I didn’t either. But, like many K-dramas, it only went downhill from there. Characters became more illogical and annoying with each new episode. The plot, a bastardization of better rom-coms that came before it, was held together only by a thread of coincidences and the audience’s sheer force of will. Were there upsides to this horrific experience? Yes, a few. The comedy was actually pretty decent up until the second half, when the writers forgot this was a rom-com and started writing a murder thriller. Plus, I discovered Bae Nara, whose character is arguably the best written in the show.

See, I started watching this for Jung So-min. She was great at first, but I started to notice a gradual decline in her acting. She always looked confused at times when her character was supposed to be feeling fear, anger, love, and other emotions. That really didn’t help in selling the romance. And her character, Yoo Me-ri… don’t even get me started on that moron. She was initially portrayed as brilliant, detail-oriented, morally upright, and ever ready to defend herself. But that all disappeared pretty quickly because the plot had no use for such qualities. I mean, how’s the ML supposed to save her if she can save herself?

Another issue with this is the FL’s ex. He’s toxic, abusive, and manipulative, but the show doesn’t treat it as seriously as it’s supposed to. They mostly played it up for laughs, but it was not funny at all. They never should’ve portrayed such serious subject matter in the first place if they knew they weren’t ready to go all in.

The villain plot in this is so unnecessary, but not as unnecessary as the childhood trope. Something that was meant to act as a catalyst to kickstart their romance ends up being the only reason they fell in love. There’s no substance or deep conversation—just googly eyes and fawning over each other’s looks. Yet somehow the ML is willing to sacrifice everything for her, as men normally do for women they barely know. Chemistry would’ve helped, but that’s absent too.

The secondary couple had so much potential, but poor time management caused theirrelationship to feel sidelined. They were actually one of the few good things about this show.

All these gripes, however, pale in comparison to my greatest issue with this show: coincidences. I can’t imagine where the plot would be without them. Most of the major plotlines advance because characters randomly overhear vital information from gossip or private conversations. In fact, gossip is the main method of information dissemination in this show, and side characters simply exist to gossip. Also, characters bump into each other several times a day purely out of coincidence. It makes you wonder if all the houses, workplaces, restaurants, and bars in this show are located on the same street. It’s ridiculous.

Frankly, I was only able to watch this show by turning my brain off first. It didn’t stop me from questioning all the madness, but at least it stopped me from losing my shit. The ending was mediocre slop that AI could’ve easily thrown together. Who knows—maybe AI did write this. Sure seems that way.

Warning : Song Weilong looking smoking hots in this.

I actually started watching Youthful Glory because of Song Weilong — he’s just too handsome and absolutely swoonworthy. Every time he appears on screen, it’s impossible to look away. The female lead, Bao Shangen, looks a bit too childish at times, but she’s undeniably a good actress — cute, adorable, and full of life.

I really love how Jiang Xu (Song Weilong) is portrayed — a cold, distant general who looks heartless on the outside but quietly sees everything. He doesn’t care about fame, power, or people’s opinions, yet when it comes to Ming Tan (Bao Shangen), he notices things no one else does. He falls for the real her — not the polite, perfect lady she tries to be, but the small, lonely girl who carries too much responsibility for her age.

After losing her mother and being left by her father, Ming Tan tries so hard to act proper and maintain her family’s dignity. Most of the time, she hides her sadness behind manners. And yes, sometimes she can be so childish 😅 — her sulks and little tantrums make you think, “Girl, he’s out there managing wars and royal orders, and you’re pouting again?” 😂 but I get it gurl. When your man looks that good, who wouldn’t throw a little tantrum for attention? 😩💘

That’s exactly what makes her stand out. She’s not the typical Cdrama strong, outspoken heroine. She’s soft, cutesy, emotional,relatable— yet still smart,useful and capable in her own way. And that’s the beauty of Youthful Glory, I think.

But the real surprise for me was the second couple! 😍
The second male lead, Bai Shu, used to play a villain in The Legend of Female General — and honestly, I already liked him back then. When I saw him appear here as the second male lead, I couldn’t help but fall for him all over again.

And his love interest, Dai Luwa, was the villainess in Moonlight Mystic. I loved her in that drama because she’s incredibly beautiful and charming. So when these two came together in Youthful Glory, their chemistry was off the charts!

Their banter, playfulness, and sweetness — it’s all over the top in the best way. Sometimes, I even found myself enjoying their scenes more than Jiang Xu and Ming Tan’s. They were just too cute together — a total scene-stealing couple! 💕

I have no complaints at all — just a solid, worthy three-day binge watch that left me smiling.

⭐ Rating: 9/10 — Beautiful chemistry, soft emotions, and swoonworthy couples!
