If you like Mysterious Lotus Casebook, why not try The Blood of Youth? We have...

Jaded protagonist who has lost all his martial arts and claims to just be a humble member of the jianghu, lying constantly about his prestigious background and the fact he's extremely famous:

(Here he is again but dressed like a woman this time for Plot Reasons):

His new sidekick: a puppy in the form of a teenager with floofy hair. Enjoyer of food, kicker of ass:

The leader of the demon sect who gets constantly nerfed by the narrative because if he was at full power all the time there wouldn't really be much of a plot:

The three of them eating together! Bonding! Bickering!:

Other key characters include:

Woman with chronic illness:

Women getting cool action shots:

This distinctive wig worn by the Purple Guy:

A man, I swear:

One actor who's in one of the tumblr famous cdramas that will make you go 'hey, isn't that that guy from the more tumblr famous cdrama!'

This actor playing a guy in love with an older woman:

These two actors playing Bros:

... hang on this is like half the supporting cast?? well anyway if you enjoying looking at actors and going 'hmmmm i swear i've seen them before' then This is the show for you:

This boat! I'm like 75% its the same boat but its difficult to tell with the lighting:

ANYWAY the acting is great the costumes are great the wigs are great I cried for two days straight please watch the blood of youth

Inspired by this post and this one

having a lot of feelings about li lianhua realizing that the guy he looked up to as an older brother hated him actually, and now he's sitting in a pavillion discussing it over drinks with the guy's son who loves him so much.

My dash did a thing

[travalerray]

the kink got out of hand, sorry

then what ARE the words you want to say

I can't believe they really went with "antagonist gets amnesia, vaguely recognises the protagonist and decides that they are besties actually" trope

murder baby is di feisheng???

Got gifted a memory foam mattress topper (is that the word? The thing you put on top of the mattress) cause my mum didn't want hers anymore.

I am sinking. Comfy. Warm. Snuggly. How am I supposed to get anything done when lying in bed became 100% more comfy?

instead of my regular live blogs w shows, I have decided that simply recapping my thoughts a few eps at a time will be more efficient! as such:

- this show has a budget and they are using every penny. good voice acting, good costumes, surprisingly good special effects and stunts - and, of course, they could afford cheng fucking yi. goddamn

- speaking of: cheng yi you never miss with the dramas you pick*

- *I have only seen two of his dramas including this one but I think I am right

- fang duobing is like if wei wuxian was just a little dumber. and had jin ling's face. i love him so so so so so so much

- wangfu </3 ifykyk

- li lianhua named his dog fucking hulijing. he lives in a tiny house. he is a terrible cook. he is poisoned. he does not have amnesia but at some point when someone calls him on his bullshit will he pretend to? who's to say. he's a little shit I bet he would

- wangfu's dad is a murderer. take that as you will

- episode 3 ends with fang duobing asking a milf whose sister just died if she's crazy, and so far that sums him up pretty well

- no di feisheng yet. but when I spot him? OH. i will screenshot that emo bitch on sight

speaking of novel lines that live rent-free in my mind:

方多病呆呆地看着晴空，摇了摇头：“他没有扯谎。” 他道，“他虽然是个骗子，却从不怎么骗人……真的……不怎么骗人，只是你我没明白……” 他喃喃地道，“没……没太把他当回事……”
