topped the list

I loved the drama! to be honest I liked it more than I liked blood of youth. this drama had a strikingly fine balance of everything and the fight scenes..the special effects..the colours.!!! also what an ensemble....the cast was great too! a good plot with entertaining characters. Despite knowing the bittersweet ending that awaited me , I blew through the 40 episodes. They indeed had a 'dashing youth' and as viewer you would wish same as their master for these disciples to lead carefree, happy lives in martial world. unfortunately, much like previous generation they too can't break away from clutches of noble cities and wicked royal family (roufeng is the exception and not the norm ). baili donjun was a great protagonist, and ye dingzi was a sweet soul who deserved better. two platonic soulmates.

short and sweet

It has good looking cast, good acting and chemistry, great background music and sets and costumes , slightly predictable( although that could be said for many shows and we all know it) but still quite enjoyable storyline ! And it wraps up in four episodes( the re-edit version). And no , IT WAS NOT CRINGEY! The subtitles available on weTV are slightly like those available for ai long nhai, but for most part work.

It is a bit rushed and incorporates a cliche or two, but I had fun watching it. the lead's storyline aside, the brothers were cute and there were many comic moments thanks to the assistant! I would say to give it one episode before judging it! Not every story has to have a bigger thing in it, sometimes a simple story works too.

(slight spoilers ahead)I liked how the fear/ phobia didn't just magically vanish away in a love cures all manner. Even when Nawee finally rushes on his own to Aioun, he still stumbles, finds it bit hard to breathe because it takes time to go away. Also that scene where he is stepping out after finally deciding to let go of wanting a father , we can see his multiple reflections..and the resolve can be seen on his face was something I really liked.
The suits were great , I want to wear one on my college farewell now!
Also like how the gf was not demonised and all the characters were mature.

would love to see the actors in another series with a better executed script!
