Most CDramas lose my interest after the 20th episode, but not this one! Blood Of Youth 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. 😭 I hear that Mysterious Lotus Casebook could have the same bromantic feels, so that may be my target next ;)
For me, your first sentence sounds like 庆余年 (Joy of Life). Granted, it was actually my mum's pick, but I passively watched it while looking for episodes ahead of 8TV broadcast in 2020. She even looked for explanation videos online, which compared the episodes to the novel they were based upon. Overall it was an interesting watch.
Joy of Life is indeed on my list, together with The Mysterious Lotus Casebook The Ingenious One Ever Night
Now retreating to something light, so am trying Back from the Brink. Hope it is at least entertaining
An actually savvy boomer? wow.
Usually people just watch brain dead videos.
That's probably my dad. Perfectly balanced. :P
Lol that's balance all right!
