Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 11

Fang Duobing's reflexes always tuned to keeping Li Lianhua safe, even if it's just from a roll of paper

Of course it was Di Feisheng who threw it. He has to do everything in the most dramatic way possible

He has a degree in architecture

Poor confused puppy

I love that in the last episode Fang Duobing was all 'gentlemen use their words not their fists' but he literally tries to fight Di Feisheng whenever he insults him (which is all the time)

So handy that the people at the next table are talking about the case they're investigating and not their shitty days at work or something

It was bugging me where I recognised him from. He was in Immortal Samsara with Cheng Yi

Well this is about to get awkward

Ehehe

How many times has Cheng Yi worn a wedding dress in the various dramas he's been in? I can think of at least two other occasions. Is it in his contract? Do the people making these dramas think he's just so pretty he needs to wear a wedding dress? I would love to know

Well, that has clearly just awoken something in both of them. @alxina @xantissa you have prior experience. Please tell me you've written or are going to write wedding dress fic

Is that a euphemism for something?

Is that also a euphemism for something?

Edit: A few people were yelling in the notes about Di Feisheng basically holding Li Lianhua's hand and walking him towards the mirror and I totally missed it! But...yes, that is a thing that happened.

I will never get tired of Fang Duobing protecting Li Lianhua even when he just stumbles over a loose rock

Can't wait for Fang Duobing to find out that the dude he pushed into the corpse pond is infamous martial artist Di Feisheng

Love that he's drawn Li Lianhua all smiling and pretty while Di Feisheng looks all grumpy

Aww he threw Li Lianhua's portrait away because he wants Li Lianhua to trust him enough to tell him his secrets on his own

Dashing Youth Ep 1-10 Commentary

Ep 11-16, Ep 17-21, Ep 22-25, Ep 26-32, Ep 33-35, Ep 36-40

Alrighty let's organise all my thoughts in neat lil piles.

1. Personally the type of Wuxia I enjoy is the more subdued, mature and philosophical vibe like that of Sword Snow Stride and Mysterious Lotus Casebook. I rarely watch youthful, lighthearted, rom-comey wuxia/xianxia/xuanhuan. I didn't enjoy BoY a lot and I still wonder how I managed to finish it, the few characters I loved were Wuxin, Tang Lian, Zhao Yuzhen, Prince Chong and Prince Lingchen, because they had the acting style and character arcs that were closer to my preferences.

I clicked on Dashing Youth just for the curiosity and out of "since I watched BoY anw, I'm kinda obligated for this" feeling, but unexpectedly, within 10 mins I was in love lol. Many of the actors I already know and love, the bromance is instantaneous and strong, the promise of a good tragedy is alluring, and I could enter the worldbuilding faster because I already know what to expect from this universe.

AND I ADORE how the casting directors seem to have chosen actors with BLs/BL-vibe shows under their belt for all the important roles, they all know exactly what to do and like:

I for one am not mad about all the CP pushing promo the showmakers are doing. I mean, even if this was a super straight story we'll end up with gay fanfics anyway, right? So just as well we get to see our fantasies haha 😏

Like, that's an adorable thumbnail!

OK without further ado, getting myself invited into the Daddies' party time!!

By ep 4, Dongjun has so far charmed the asses off of Spear daddy, Lei daddy, and now Liu Xueyi's daddy. At this rate, I'll have to assume that the future kids are gonna be procreated not via their future wives, but through the consummation of the daddies' elaborate spiritual bodies when they flirt-duel lol

(Exactly like that)

Now I really wanna see a 重回我爸的高中时代 (Back to My Dad's High School Days) edit for Dongjun and his harem from the kids' povs Like here .

Ep 6- You did indeed, Wu Xie 2.5!

Hou Minghao collects new boyfriends, old boyfriends and his own other-selves like pokemon😆 Also gotta say that everytime I see Bai Shu now I feel like a proud parent. He's grown so much from the grumpy scrawny bb Wu Xie era huhu

Ep 9- It's amazing how I personally didn't really enjoy BoY, but Wuxin instantly got my love and while I'm 10x more drawn to Dashing Youth, the one who won me over above everyone else is again, Wuxin's dad. Also, Wuxin's dad is a chef! How can I not love this baby!

Everyone showing off martial arts while they are in their own world, serving a buffet lmao

Lei Mengsha looking at this poster: Yep, I can see this polycule is not a good idea. Usually I'm all in but I'll sit this one out and go make my two kids in peace. I'll have my chance with HMH in another universe anw

Despite being the silliest of them all, LMS is the only one who gives the vibe he'll always stand straight on his two feet even if the entire world goes topsy-turvy. I don't even need to look at BoY to be proven correct.

Ep 10- Ever since his intro from ep 1 where he went all, "wow, what a fate!", I love the parts they do these crossover jokes

(In fact, instinctively performing Qimen Dunjia is possibly how LMS figured out the trajectory the other boys were going to be in LMAO)

Now they need to add some tomb robbing jokes when Bai Shu and Neo interact and it'd be perfect!

Also it feels kinda fateful that Lei Wujie would go bond with Xiao Se, Lei Mengsha was best bros with his uncle Langya.
