Da feng da geng ren

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.

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.

*Guardian of the Dafeng* is a standout show, especially thanks to Dylan Wang's incredible acting. He brings a perfect balance of intensity and charm to his role, effortlessly switching between action-packed hero moments and lighthearted comedic scenes. His performance truly anchors the show, making every emotional and dramatic scene feel genuine. The series itself feels like a Chinese ancient Marvel-like, blending epic heroism with supernatural battles, while adding clever comedic twists that keep the tone fresh and fun. It's a thrilling, yet entertaining ride, and Dylan Wang's talent is undoubtedly a highlight.

This tv show left me absolutely stunned. Initially, I started watching because Wang Hedi was in it, but by the time I finished, my appreciation had far surpassed just the cast. I was completely drawn in by the story, performances, style, and underlying themes.

A Unique and Refreshing Narrative

This show isn't just another martial arts or fantasy drama. It seamlessly blends philosophy, ethics, family, politics, and the underworld, creating something that feels both profound and highly entertaining. What really impressed me is how it handles dark, complex, and often taboo topics-such as political corruption and the struggles of those at the bottom of society-through a humorous and engaging lens. It manages to be sharp and thought-provoking, yet never feels heavy or depressing. Instead, it delivers an experience that is thrilling, satisfying, and even exhilarating.

Outstanding Performances

The cast, filled with seasoned actors, brings incredible depth to every character. But Wang Hedi's performance truly amazed me. He doesn't just act-he becomes the character. His expressions, tone, and body language make him utterly convincing as someone who keeps calling himself "just a mere warrior" yet proves to be far more than that. He is a man with a deep sense of justice, driven by his own beliefs and a desire for freedom. He's not just a reckless brute but a true embodiment of righteousness, and his journey is incredibly compelling.

A Show That Leaves You Wanting More

Unlike many Chinese dramas that wrap up in a single season, this one feels more like a Western-style serialized show, gradually expanding its world and keeping the audience eagerly waiting for what's next. I'm already desperate for a second season, and I sincerely hope this kind of storytelling becomes more common in Chinese dramas-offering both depth and entertainment, making viewers laugh while also giving them something meaningful to reflect on.

If you haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend it!
