I thought it was weird he pretty much ignored his girlfriend, didn't even think of seeing her as soon as he got back.
...and the prize goes to : Strange Tales of Tang dynasty!🎉🎉🎉
Just watched this masterpiece. Have to say that this series hasn't been shot just for entertainment it was shot for education of soul. It left uneasy feeling how person gets corrupted throuh little things, fall on ideas and how one can be driven to the edge of despair. I loved the show for the inner work i still have to do after watching. Questioning my own motives and seeing my own cowardice. Interesting to see such an art in period drama.
For me it was the first time to see Wang jing yan, so I thought it was her actual voice. After hearing it´s not I am surprised but I still think the voice suits her well but I also haven´t watched Nirvana or other drama with Qin Qin´s voice, so it makes sense for me to not realise. I find it interesting that many actors in cdramas get dubbed, I have the feeling the performance becomes more impressive but isn´t it sad for the actors that they cannot use their own voice?
I generally agree with your takes on dramas, and get a lot of watches from your recommendations but I gotta say, I feel like I disagreed with most of these cons after watching the show. I thought the Wu Jinyan emoted really well even in close shots, and Wang Xing Yue did dub himself and his voice is great, and I really liked his microexpressions. I feel like the chemistry was great between them, and I loved all the characters even the villians. This show goes on my list of guilty pleasures, and I will definitely watch it again.
I sincerely love your channel and would accept whatever reviews you make. I agree with all of them, but I still watch the dramas anyway.
The Double is the best cdrama of 2024 😊❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
I dropped this drama because i cant get over The Double. But i did enjoy some scenes.
I agree the female lead cannot act at all. She was okay in Rebirth but my goodness she's so bad at acting sorry 😔😔
I love Dashing Youth. Yes, there are a few issues, but it doesn't take away from me enjoying the show, and I totally enjoyed Blood of Youth. Please watch the show and any other shows and make your own opinion, but it's great to hear a review to give you some guidance on what to aspect.
The princess lost all her braincells after she fell off that cliff.
Encore: since you have explained about voices actors, which I am t o t a l l y against (actors must be able to deliver lines, and in acceptable Mandarin, or find another job; if the voice actors can do it, so should they.) I have to say : line delivery is THE LEAST that is wrong with this!
I started this a week ago, and referred back to you because I thought it might be just me...This is the WORST c..py trope addled piece of garbage in years. No need to shredding the actors for lines delivery.( If they cannot deliver lines they should become parking attendants.) What about the 'story', ancient trope :a successful journalist (hahaha, spending the first 16 eps I watched simpingly pursuing the man, acting like a 13 year old school girl at all times, changing her outfits 20 times a day ) not working for even one minute, instead doing what all the other females in this do: try and snare a man. Eeeeuw! Aimed at dumb girls who left school after 4 years with a 49 or less IQ. Plus, the ML is a real shit! Super great review!
Like her... she's the only actress I watch in Chinese series/movies. It happened I watch I bit in KZread the boss and me and because of her cute round face and eyes I started looking for more videos of her. Beautiful Chinese barbie doll ❤❤❤
I am only watching Dashing Youth because of Xia ZhiGuang because I liked his acting in The Spirealm, he really played my favorite character from the novel really well
Nice video. Just watched the 30 episode Chinese version and was thoroughly enthralled throughout. Loved that it was more hard sci-fi, scary and complex.
I’m currently watching dashing youth and I could say I’m enjoying it. Although I would say the plot is somewhat all over the place since it does focus on too much at once, I really like the casts in the drama which makes me wanting to see more of there acting. For me, the casts usually brings me to watch something before I even know what the plot is. Plus I have watched blood of youth when it just came out and these 2 have some similarities, but tbh I forgot a lot of the plot from BoY, so aside from the sect names or something, this drama isn’t much like BoY to me. But I feel like I like this somewhat more than others is because I’m in my late teens while some people who’s older might like older cast that aren’t considered young as this dramas cast. But this is all just my opinion, overall my current rating for this drama is probably a 8.5/10
I really like the concept of this drama!! “If you could go back and time and remake some choices, what would you do?” Unfortunately sometimes I forget what I’m watching/ what the whole goal is, of this second shot at life. 😅
I will never buy anything from dior again!!! Thank you for sharing.
Liu Yuning is not just handsome, he is sexy and has a man's face. These fans from China must be afraid of men because they only admire androgynous guys.

Another Ding Yuxi drama! Can't wait! I hope this one uses his actual magnificent voice.
Watching this 3 years late, as just finished it and came for your thoughts. I agree with everything you said- and I have seen Miseang, so this may be blasphemy but I felt this was more watchable! Anyway, I saw that you never posted a final rating for this drama? IMO it kept up the quality and didn’t devolve into tropes or romance, so I wonder if you would consider this a 2 goldmine drama?
I've come here for STOTD, I am eagerly waiting for this drama and so happy it has maintained the expectations even did better than first season , maybe this drama can be my iconic drama of 2024 in c dramaland, really praying that they keep maintained this standard till the end
I stopped and listened all because you are reviewing strange tales of tang dynasty season 2. After magistrate Di, i am so happy to be watching this drama. I LOVE IT!
The Tang dynasty, one of the richest in artistic, literary, spiritual, legal and economic terms. I love the magic and mystery of these tales, and the sense of humor. I'm delighted, thanks for your suggestion!
Thank you for these reviews. I am enjoying your styling, beautiful !
Yes dashing youth problem is they character dumped soooo many characters so early in the drama, and as a person who watch it for sikong changfeng character only to have him disappear after 4 eps i found it hard to continue 😂
am half way through this. it has the same typical c drama symptoms.......strong start, long in the tooth middle and cheap and quick end(am expecting
Worth it watching 🎉😊 like it
I actually like Dashing Youth alot so far
I am really enjoying Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2! And they do really throw more money here. Hahaha.
I appreciate the fact that this new drama has made the effort to make truly historical with the artifacts and actual events. Thanks for bringing this to my attention because I'll enjoy this drama more knowing what's coming ahead. Many kind thanks.
After watching your video about qin..i would like to check the qin poaition in drama LOL. And .I found that in strange tales of tang dynasty ep 5..they put the qin in right way😊
Anyone here watched ‘Nancheng Banquet’ (南城宴）？ It’s a light hearted, hilariously ridiculous comedy about a female assassin who botches her mission and loses her memory, ending up as a eunuch in the palace. I was pleasantly surprised by the cast, especially male lead Wang You Shuo. I’ve only previously seen him playing morally ambiguous supporting roles. Am now seeing him in new light 😍. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea but if you’re like me - some gags had me spluttering with laughter, it’s worth checking it out. 😂
I wonder what’s your review on Interlaced Scenes (錯位), I’m enjoying this new Light On miniseries right now. Plans to start STTD2 after this.
I really love your hairstyle in this video! s2 Is there a tutorial of how to do this hair somewhere?
Dashing Youth is a very 'pretty' drama. If I'm honest, if one of the main character group got killed off in the next episode I would not feel any emotion. I am not emotionally invested in any of them, which I was in the Blood of Youth series. That said, I don't think it takes itself too seriously and just romps along. I can deal with that as a fun watch. I don't think Strange Tales II is as good as the first series somehow. The cases are certainly interesting but I don't engage with the leads. That said, I didn't engage in the first season either. (At least they placed the Qin correctly on the table!)
😅😅😅 this drama... Someone actually makes novel almost like fanfiction from this 🤣 and changing the plots and killing the heroine.
S2 is out, could we know what was the issue you mentioned at the end?
I wanna ask The Story of Kunning Palace but after watching your vid explanation, better I check on my own if I able to distinguish the mistake or not. Tq
I always love your perspektive of looking at the dramas. By the way, pretty nice hair style of yours 😊
I'm allowed to watch Strange Tales free for 7 episodes. I have just finished Ep 1 & wow! got me completely hooked, line & sinker !! Definitely, one worth waiting for each episode to come 🤗🥰😍
and ... gonna look up the 1st season too. Have not seen it before 🤩😘
Yes, I also watched the free episodes so only up to episode 7, should be 8 now. It's been great
I would love to hear you talk more about the cultural references in STOTD西行 or the series in general because even I didn't catch all the references that showed up in the series it's just so fascinating!
Ooh si lovely to see you so enthusiastic about a drama !
currently binging both series. side note about DY: because this drama is competing with the Donghua version that came before(which ppl have high praises for), the audience has certain expectations of how this drama is presented. so what you're seeing its the adaptation of an adaptation, and some scenes are literally shot by shot copy and pasted from the donghua (not that it's a bad thing, just to be aware of). by no way to discourage anyone from watching it though! if the story premise is your cup of tea then go for it!
I dropped Dashing Youth. I tried it but it didn't pull me in. So I have to let it go, maybe for now. I don't know if I will pick it up later or not. As a drama watcher for years now, the first 2 eps, especially first ep is a make it or break it. It gotta be able to catch the audience's interest and attention after ep 1 is done. If not, ep 2 should be able to do that. Otherwise, the interest of audience will die down. Many will drop it. Other than the fans of those actors who will watch the drama no matter what, only some will stick around to try to see if the drama has anything to offer or can catch their interest. This sucks because some good dramas don't have good starting points.
I totally agree with the problems with Dashing Youth. I'm on episode 3 and deciding if i want to continue. The reason i was excited for it was because i like Blood of Youth. But the thing that i liked about Blood of Youth was barely there-namely proper fight scenes! The characters don't even bother to raise a fist or even throw weapons, it's all wind blowing and CGI lights
I watch the first 10 minute of Dashing Youth, i get bored and left. But some days later i have nothing else to watch so i give it a second try because the male lead is Neo Huo XD. and i am now craving for more.... It has the same vibe as Blood of Youth. Not to mention the cast is full of beautiful flowers lol... i feel like my eyes is being blessed.
