Spectacular display of friendship

When I first started watching TBOY, I dropped it after the first episode as it did not appeal to me. A year later I stumbled upon this show again and decided to give it another try and I am glad I did. Storyline was amazing for the front half of the show but it starts slowing down a little in the later half when politics and palace affairs start playing a big role in the plot. It is still watchable as there are still incorporations of fight scenes and martial arts. There is a balance of humour and seriousness in the show. One thing about the show that I find it amusing is Wuxin is supposed to be around 18 years old in the show but I keep forgetting about it due to the casting of the actor that plays this role. He looked more 28 than 18 years old. Other than that TBOY is a good watch and would definitely rewatch it when I have the time, can’t wait for season 2 to start filming and hope to see more of the group exploring the martial arts world in the second season.

A drama about youth, friendship, family

What started off as a drama about youth and friendship utterly broke me in the last 3 episodes. This drama highlights almost everything that happens in real life from making friends to family issues like divorce. In the later episodes there are mentions of death, the scriptwriting and way the scenes are filmed really brought tears to my eyes. The emotions they manage to evoke in just episode 29 alone is amazing.

Overall, this drama perfectly displayed events of our youth and growing up. It also shows that no matter how perfect our childhood was, it will end one day. We will eventually grow up and have to face the harsh reality of the adult World but we have friends right beside us and families that have our back to face these difficulties.
