Rewatching #BloodOfYouth and each time I see Tang Lian I go 😭😭😭

#CDrama #CDramas #China #TV

I've long resigned to "finger fu" in #CDramas where they twirl & wave their fingers about and things sparkle in the air (ie #BloodOfYouth). But #MysteriousLotusCaseBook has set a new bar for action scenes: Acrobatic, dance-like moves of old #wuxia shows, which I thought had long disappeared. I'm also quite impressed #ChengYi did most of the movements himself.
This is a 4.5/5 star show. Totally the best I've seen in a long time.

Omg I am still hungover and sad after finishing #BloodOfYouth. I need a bromantic #CDrama to fill the void.

One thing the show made me realise was how much I missed classic #Wuxia dramas. So many CDramas revolve around romance - I miss heroic, adventuring around the jiang hu stories. There are precious few of them these days. So if you know of any do recommend me some!

Some shows that come to mind:
Ever Night
Joy of Life
Sword Snow Stride
Ancient Detective

Most #CDramas lose my interest after the 20th episode, but not this one! #BloodOfYouth was tightly plotted, the characters so interesting. Although the "magic" martial arts took some getting used to, this was a classic #Wuxia tale. So you have the themes of brotherhood, loyalty, chivalry and honor that the genre is known for. Now I have a hangover because it ended "too soon" and I don't think I can watch anything this good in a long while. 😭

Who knew a banquet can be such a suspenseful and tense affair? Now, that's a fine piece of storytelling there. Lots to learn about #Writing there!

I am blazing through #BloodOfYouth faster than I thought. I usually lose interest by the 20th episode of a #CDrama but theres no stopping me so far with this one.

Seriously, such a TV addict.

One thing I like about #BloodOfYouth is that no matter how powerful Xiao Se, Wuxin and Wujie are, it takes pains to show that they are still young men who are impetuous and yes, childish! This makes for really funny moments between the trio, especially Xiao Se and Wujie.
I thought this poster illustrates their dynamics perfectly 🤣

I'm watching #BloodOfYouth and then #MysteriousLotusCasebook comes along and I can't help but think
a) bromance!
b) OMG everyone's so pretty!

Trying really hard not to get Shiny New #CDrama Syndrome 😆

There is something weirdly addictive about #BloodOfYouth. I usually hate "video game" wuxia with the flying sparkling kung fu, but the characters are compelling.

Doesn't hurt that Li Hong Yi (Xiao Se) is so pretty 🤭

Just what we need. Another #CDrama addict in the family.

I need more hot-older-man Baili Dongjun than just that one episode. Come oooooon. 😤

Also, Tang Lian fighting Dark River: wowwwww. 😍

And Ye Ruoyi rallying an army.🤩

I am in love with so many characters in this show it's ridiculous.

Okay! We cracked open the MacGuffin and an extremely powerful monk who knows forbidden lore and might need to be stopped came out. We had a fight on top of a moving carriage the size of a house. Firecracker Himbo can make fire with his mind. We're going places now. #BloodOfYouth

A tiny sassy murder teen with some sort of sword-flinging steampunk cannon has entered the group chat. He has some Fei Liu energy. I love him already. #BloodOfYouth

Late lunch tv time. Starting off episode 2 strong with Pretty, Grumpy Fashionista Inn Owner giving me one for the Screenshots I Will Find A Use For file. #BloodOfYouth

This is Fireworks Himbo, he is *so excited* to have just met the ninth-most-deadly assassins and to be marked for death completely by accident because he happened to get in the way of a death threat meant for someone else, he is having an ADVENTURE. #BloodOfYouth

Am checking out #BloodOfYouth and am extremely charmed by Pretty Boy (Probably Hiding Something) Inn Owner doing the abacus math in real time as people fight in his inn about how much they owe him for all the shit they're breaking. Justice for wuxia inn owners everywhere!

Look who I found in the ED! #BloodOfYouth

Watching #BloodOfYouth ep 1

Lei Wujie is an absolute himbo, I like him already!

Seeing so many people posting about #BloodOfYouth (not here haha), so I'm thinking I'll check it out!
