Da feng da geng ren

The show is totally underrated... it's unique plot from other cdramas... the creativity.. the thrill the twists. Not a single boring episode. With Dylan wang making the show even more interesting.. give the show its flowers.. honestly a 7 is not it'sworth. The writer aced it its totally a 100000/10. Best show ever. And the ending too. Didn't expect that at all. Yall need to watch it to see how good it is. This show deserves a grammy. To the writer, amazing job. Netflix needs amazing shows like this. Eagerly waiting for part 2. The foundation is well set now we're waiting for the writer to blow our minds in part 2..

This is one the the first c-drama I've watched so far and damn.. it didn't disappoint. Reading novels and manhwa/manhua is one of my hobby and seeing the getting adaptations is really awesome. It's understandable that some plot may have not been included but It's still lit🔥. Having watched this series, it kinda gave me a higher expectations. I really hope they'll continue to make series like this. Princess Lin'an, remember Xu Qi'an. Now, I want to see what he will do in the modern world. With his return, will he see his modern Lin'an, what strategies will he prepare, how will this series continue. I'm really curious now. Waiting for season 2.

I have been all in in this series, like'd it very much. Totally a blend of humor, wuxia and intrig. I realy hope for a season 2, and that the cast dont change. Like in Ever night 2. Sad it ended so sudden, did'nt even think it was the last episode. Just a break for a Day or so.

And it would continue, so sad when i found out that it was just 40 episode's. I was waiting to see when he got to be a Golden Gong. Like in the trailers, pictures. We can see him be just that.

So i can realy hope that i wont take to long for next season to arrive. I have already after this few days a longing to watch the next season.

This drama is top entertainment. It has comedy, mystery, action, romance, politics, fantasy, spiritual cultivation, brotherhood and family love. All of these elements are fused together in a delightful story of a young, intelligent, hard-working and high-EQ sales manager Yang Ling (Dylan Wang), who finds himself in the ancient kingdom of Dafeng, inhabiting the persona of an orphan named Xu Qi An. Using his modern knowledge to solve cases, he rises from a lowly constable job to a position in a prestigious group called the Guardians. He even gains the fancy of a royal princess played by Tian Xi Wei.

Weeks before this drama aired, black marketing accounts and paid trolls on Chinese social media started maligning it and the main lead. Why? Because in the dirty and corrupt Chinese Entertainment industry, bullies don't want a grassroots-backed actor like Dylan Wang, who didn't come from money and doesn't have powerful backers, taking projects away from power-backed actors, especially the highly coveted role of the main character of a hugely popular novel on which the drama was based.

Due to the popularity of Dylan and the novel, GOTD still topped domestic viewership charts despite the smear campaign. However, some charts susceptible to black marketing and shadow-banning could not escape the multi-million rmb worth of smear campaign. Nevertheless, the drama gained solid footing after more and more viewers realized its first-rate quality. What impressed many viewers most was the phenomenal acting Dylan Wang brought to the table. This drama proved his acting talent that his bullies keep trying hard to undermine.

It is hoped that cdrama viewers have been made aware of the prevalence of black marketing in social media and will not be so easily swayed by negative press about artists and dramas in the future.

I've just finished the series and already miss the characters. Blending multiple genres, the show delivers a rollercoaster of emotions across its 40 episodes. At its heart is Yang Lin, a hilariously charismatic modern man thrust into the body of Xu Qi'an, navigating an ancient world filled with murder mysteries, political intrigue, and fantasy elements. The early episodes are a riot of slapstick and subversive humor, at times reminiscent of the comedic style of 90s HK films, sharply contrasting with the political maneuvers and xuanhuan themes that ground the narrative. As the plot deepens, humor gives way to heartfelt drama, culminating in a profoundly emotional finale where Xu Qi'an embraces his newfound family, friends, responsibilities, and personal growth. This progression from lighthearted comedy to a poignant crescendo makes the series unforgettable.

While there are some issues with pacing and several romance plotlines that dragged on, the cast's top-tier performances more than compensate. The ever dependable Liu Yijun shines in his role as a surrogate father figure to the protagonist, while Feng Hui's portrayal of Zheng Xinghuai is nothing short of phenomenal. Dylan Wang anchors the show masterfully, showcasing impeccable comedic timing, emotive depth, and raw intensity, particularly in the later episodes. It's a series I'll likely revisit in a few years.
