I watched it after Dashing Youth. So I'll be comparing both the dramas.

If anyone want to watch Dashing Youth & The Blood of Youth both. I suggest to watch Dashing Youth first. Because in The Blood of Youth you'll get to know the story of Dashing Youth so it's better to watch Dashing Youth first.

Loved the plot. It has a good balance of Wuxia & politics, but in the second half, politics takes most of the story. I'm not complaining though, as I love political drama.

Xiao Se is cunning, knowledgeable & smart and also full of sarcasm & attitude. He is great at scheming. He knows everything & knows when to use that knowledge. His favorite thing is to give everyone surprises. Li Hong Yi acted so well as Xiao Se.

Wu Xin is a calm, smart & skilled martial artist. His sarcasm comment whenever he saves someone is my favorite. Loved Liu Xue Yi acting as Wu Xin.

Lei Wu Jie is a fool ??? But he is a great & loyal friend. He is a xerox copy of his father. Like father, like son, always saying nonsense things, but he is strong & powerful. He can fight very well.

Wu Xin's screen time is so little. I mean the actor Liu Xue Yi shaved his hair for this role, at least gives him proper screen time & his own story. If I were at his place, I would never shave his hair for such a limited screen time. I'm very disappointed that he doesn't have a proper storyline like others. In "Dahong Youth", Ye Dingzhi has a story, even if it was about chasing after a girl. He had a purpose for what he did. But here Wu Xin did nothing except saving everyone.

Xiao Se's martial arts skills weren't fully shown even after his full recovery. Where else, in "Dashing Youth", they showed Baili Dong Jun's full journey of his martial arts skills. Another disappointment.

I expected VFX like Dashing Youth, but it was missing. The fighting scenes were not bad.

But the friendship & bonding of Xiao Se & Lei Wu Jie was remarkable, which was lacking in "Dashing Youth".

I expected Baili Dong Jun & Wu Xin to meet & to talk about Ye Dingzhi, but it didn't happen.

In "Dashing Youth" I hated Emperor Ming De, but in this one I pitied him. The same goes for Su Chang He. I loved him in "Dashing Youth" but hated him in this one. I'm confused why Su Chang He became leader of Dark River when he was a subordinate of Su Mu Yu. Nevertheless, I can't wait to watch "Tales of Dark River".

" I loved both "Dshing Youth" & "The Blood Of Youth". They both have flaws but great. I don't know which one I liked the most. Sometimes I like" Dashing Youth". Sometimes I like "The Blood Of Youth".

Xiao Se every two seconds saying Lei Wu Jie to shut up or get lost. Also hitting him in his head. I love their friendship.

Xiao Se is so done with Lei Wu Jie because of his continuous nonsense talking, he keeps on changing his name within one second.

Laugh at how Sikong Chang Feng shouted my "Dengtian Tower" & said Li Hanyi, you scoundrel, after she split the tower in half.

Xiao Se is always asking for money. I’m curious to know how he, Wu Xin & Lei Wu Jie travel when they claim that they don’t have money.

Laugh at how Lei Wu Jie fainted as soon as he heard about the debt.

Xiao Se teases Lei Wu Jie & Tang Lian about their love life.

Uff the attitude Xiao Se gave when Price Bai came. Loved it.

Xiao Ruo Feng's ending hurts a lot after seeing what he did for his brother. That last word.

Xiao Se is always bragging about his expensive clothes & horse.

Laughed when Wu Xin said “that dummy fell in love”.

Love Wu Xin's attitude towards Xiao Se's uncle, telling him, are you upset that I’m good looking than you. His personality has totally changed after returning from Tian Wai Tian.

Lei Wu Jie's expression after learning Xiao Se identify. I expected a louder reaction from him.

Loved how Lei Wu Jie, Tang Lian & Sikong Qian Luo stand & announced their titles to protect Xiao Se against his uncle & general Ye.

Laughed when Xiao Se copied Lei Wu Jie's description of food.

Laughed how Xiao Se, Lei Wu Jie & Tang Lian introduced themselves with fake names.

Mu Chun Feng overreacts after discovering Xiao Se's real identity.

Baili Dong Jun borrowed swords from others, just like his master Li Chang Sheng. I missed Li Chang Sheng so much in this drama.

Wu Xin will be happy to know that Xiao Se & Lei Wu Jie are using his technique that he taught them.

Loved how everyone in ep 24 & 25 protected & fought for Xiao Se's safe return.

Loved Sikong Qian Luo's bravery. She fought with an experienced army knowing that she might die but still fought for her cause.

Loved Tang Lian fight with Dark River.

Loved Xiao Chong & Zang Ming's relationship. The sacrifice that Zang Ming made. Hat off to him. Not everyone can do that.

Laughed when Uncle gave Xiao Se & Lei Wu Jie women clothes to wear. I laughed so hard seeing them in women’s clothes.

Loved how Xiao Ling Chen threw & tore the scroll like his father.

The scene of Xiao Se, Lei Wu Jie & Xiao Ling Chen gave me goosebumps.

Xiao Ling Chen's character is different from his father. He is righteous but fun going, & loves to joke around. Where else Xiao Ruo Feng is righteous, smart, kindhearted, serious.

What Xiao Chen said is right. The Emperor is destined to be a loner. He’ll never be happy.

Laughed my ass off when Xiao Se used Lei Wu Jie Insulting Sword Technique.

Loved it when at the last moment all Four Guardian came to help Xiao but I miss Tang Lian, and wish he had been there.
