Ahhh man, I really loved this storyline. I love all of Novoland drama's and can hardly wait for the next one with Yang Mi. The visuals in this drama were absolutely great. I also loved the storyline and want to see it again. I don't understand how anyone can compare this to "Goblin". There was nothing about the storyline that reminded me of the "Goblin". Well, there is one thing, but not a "thing" but an actress! That's it. I'm so in love with the actor
Jeremy Jones Xu not him per sé but his acting and will be looking for more dramas with him in it. Uvin Wang did an excellent job just like she did in the "Goblin". Wang Zi Qi was also good but his personality changed as the General. The set, the graphics, and the music... "Excellent"!

Another Great Fantasy

Li Yi Feng, I remember him in other Chinese Dramas and he is a great actor. I don't watch him a lot because he likes to take roles that are military and I love him in the fantasy roles like this one. This fantasy tops a lot of my other fantasy dramas. The visuals were breathtaking. Chen Yu Qi is one of my favorite top actresses so I already favored her in this drama. She was awesome. They made her role a little quiet but she had the strength I knew she has to take on this role. I would rewatch this again. The ocean was so blue and beautiful. I applaud all the other actresses and actors they also did an awesome job to make this fantasy seem real. This is another one of those dramas do not miss one episode and please don't go to the last episode to see the ending. You will miss out on some great storylines and visuals.

Loved Season 2.

This was nice! I love Kim Min Jae (Yoo Se Poong) I loved how he became persistent in clearing his character's name. I didn't realize how tall he was until I saw him standing next to Kim Hyang Gi (Seo Eun Woo) who did very well playing the widow. You will have to watch Season 1 to find out why she was a widow. Kim Sang Kyung (Kye Ji Han) who played the father and leader of the medical crew, was very delighted by him. I loved how became a protector at night ninja style. lol, I cried, I laughed, and even threw my shoe at the TV... Finally, an ending that was solemnly good and at peace.

Fire!!!

If a drama manages to evoke a range of emotions within me, it automatically earns a perfect score of 10 in my book. My admiration for actor Song Kang dates back to his performance in Navillera, and in this latest drama, his beauty truly captivates. The on-screen chemistry with actress Kim Yoo Jung adds an extra layer to the narrative.

The fantasy elements, the musical score, and the meticulously designed sets, especially his character's house, contribute to an overall amazing viewing experience. The ability of the drama to make me laugh, cry, and even feel moments of anger is precisely what I appreciate in this genre.

The climax of the story was exceptionally well-executed, leaving me eagerly anticipating a potential part 2. It feels like there's more to unfold, and I genuinely hope the creators consider expanding on this narrative.

SUICIDE IS NOT BEAUTIFUL!

I had told myself that I wouldn't watch it after episode 45 but I failed. There are several things I wished were done. I wish the writers let both the main characters "Crown Prince" and the "Crown Princess Consort" remember what they went through during the Danchi massacre after the Crown Princess Consort escaped. That they remove the Suicide at the end. The reasons are plentiful but in this Drama Series, in the end, they had Peng Xiao Ran performed suicide to twist with the blood circling her as if suicide is beautiful and felt that the writers deemed it okay. I am here to tell you that Suicide is not beautiful. I'm so emotionally broken, crying my eyes out uncontrollably as if this was a real story, The writers and producers of these dynamic Chinese Drama Series put their heart and soul into their work, and then there are the actors and actresses that put all of their passion on the screen... just wow! I am against suicide wholeheartedly! The world is gripped with suicide in mass numbers, in order for us to change the past when suicides were extremely high, we need to change the future in the prevention of suicide even if it is changing that type of reality for good on the big screen.

Above I rated my Rewatch Value to a 7.0 if the writers changed the ending to a happy ending or find a way for love to mend mistakes of the past... YES, I would definitely rewatch it. I feel that Chen Xing Xu and Peng Xiao Ran deserve awards, and love to see them both again in a Love, Romance, and Drama series with each other again, their chemistry was spot on. Kingone Wang did a phenomenal job as well.

Note: I did rewatch it and I still can't go to that last scene. It's because my family has gone through two family members who committed suicide. Suicide is not the answer to solving a problem and surely doesn't make peace between two factions. I will upgrade my rating because I have also watched Cheng Xing Xu and Peng Xiao Ran on the four or five segments of them being happy. Thank you for that!

This was cute... I loved the main actor, Kim Jae Young, as the lead. He always does great in whatever he does. A great kisser for sure. I loved the storyline... I never encounter anyone in my entire life that would have been friends to a love interest at the end. I wished I went through that type of relationship. That's why I enjoyed this cute story. I didn't give it a 10 because the storyline really doesn't go anywhere but on the two main leads which are ok but... There was no martial art or good visual but a town that was normal. Just a normal, cute storyline.

I love everything about this drama, the storyline, the visuals, the storyline, oops I already said that. The storyline got to me. You have to watch and know what I mean. Park Eun Bin who played Yeon Seon / Lee Hwi / Dam Yi, did great portraying a male
from crown prince to "your majesty". Another strong woman in a man's role. Loved it. Rowoon is tall, he towered over Park Eun Bin, I loved him, his humor, his smile, his acting for this particular drama was on point. All the other main actors and actresses as well as the support did awesomely. This will be a must rewatch for me. Thank to whoever the writer(s) are. You did fantastically and I applaud you. Rowoon, I hope to see more of your acting! Now I have to hear him sing or dance... since I read he was in a group.

Seo In Guk is another Korean actor I watch a lot. I love this actor. He can play any part, he is so talented. In this role, he played Nam Han Joon who was serious, comedic, and romantic and did awesomely great. He is extremely handsome. I noticed that he loves to play eerie movies. lol Oh Yeon Seo, I have viewed her in other dramas but not like this one. I will remember this drama. She plays Han Jae Hee who is very strong and her Martial Art performance was great. I will watch other dramas she has done already. Kwak Shi Yang and Kang Mi Na also played their parts very well. I thank all the other supporting roles and the team for making this cute drama. I loved it.

Loved it!

First, I want to say that Evernight 2 sound is powerful! I wished they would've started where Evernight 1 ended. I liked the first main lead actor, Arthur Chen. I must say that in Evernight 2 the main lead, Dylan Wang, is doing a fantastic job. I won't compare the two actors because both did an amazing job in portraying Ning Que! Dylan Wang is a little more energetic, the romance and the affection he had with Ireine Son's character Sang Sang. I was wowed! I still can't get over how old Ireine is. Of course, she did amazing in the first season as well as the second season. I fell in love with her acting ability. She is 5ft 2 inches tall (I'm only 5ft 1in) and Arthur Chen and Dylan Wang just towers over her at 6 ft. I love it because that was my life! Not the story life. lol

The costume designs were beautiful especially Emperor Tang's Gold Warrior Armour Costume! Episode 17 and 18 is the best! I feel that fantasy visuals are a lot better than the first season. I mean the visuals were incredibly done. The storyline was very good, I did get taken away with a couple of episodes at the end but kept my focus but anxious to get to the end. Again, I love a drama that brings my emotions to the front, the crying, wanting to put my hand through the screen, I wanted to hug Dylan Wang so many times to comfort him! I won't comment on any other actor because they all did a fantastic job of getting the screenwriter's story. Again, I do have to say you can see the acting abilities and experience of the older generation, I applaud them. Well maybe I will talk about one more actor and that is... Liu Ruo Gu, this kid was so good just in a guest role. I did see a couple of mistakes that the producers may not have caught but I will let that go because the storyline made up for it. Great job everyone and thank you to the whole team of Ever Night 2.

I feel that if you haven't seen the first season, then you must see it before you see season 2 to know the beginning of the two main characters' story and how it began.

This is definitely a watch.

Peng Xiao Ran played Jun Jiu Ling, she was terrific! She played a believable part. I was cheering her on. A strong woman, I love this kind of role model in a drama. Jin Han who played Zhu Zan was so good and I don't care who says he is not handsome, he was every bit of handsome. I will be anxious to see more of him. Du Ya Fei who played Lu Yun Qi, I was so scared of that character. DYF was really believable. Zhou Zhan who Fang Cheng Yu, wow he is really young... but he played a significant part as being paralyzed in the beginning, that scene brought me to tears. He was awesome! The costumes, the visuals, and the martial art of Zhu Zan and Peng Xiao Ran were incredible. I applaud all the support and guest actors/actresses. This story could not be told with everyone in Team Jun Jiu Ling!

I did not like the storyline at all. The writers made the two main leads fall over the mountain in love and then when he goes to war and comes back winning the war... the circus queen wants to marry the Emperor! I stopped watching it. I went all the way to the end to see if they even get back together but it didn't look like they did... Well, episode 41 is not showing yet so I still have to see. This was a love-hate and switch partners... I'm so disappointed. I don't know what the writers were thinking of. This story had so many flaws, they should've stayed with the circus acts. HATED IT!

This was an excellent fantasy drama. It had a lot of ups and downs in the storyline, but I enjoyed it. Li Hong Yi (Xiao Se and a Prince) was extremely good. His acting kind of reminds me of or looks like Allen Ren whom I love. I love how he made this character smooth and calm and made the prince's role believable. Liu Xue Yi (Wu Xin), I mean wow, him playing a monk to shave his beautiful hair off. I’m impressed. It was kind of hard for me to see him playing a monk, but he was great at it. Kudos Liu Xue Yi! Ao Rui Peng (Lei Wu Jie) played this role with humor. I loved his character. Lin Bo Yang (Sikong Qian Luo) was good at handling that spear for sure. Loved her! Flora Dai (Ye Ruo Yi) Her character surely got injured a lot but loved the role she played, my first time seeing her. Li Xin Ze (Tang Lian), the hairdresser got it right, loved the gray! He is part of the team of the Blood of Youth and loved him.

The storyline was superb, I appreciate the team and how they fought for justice. I loved the clues they were looking for and the adventure they gave. I thank the Producers/directors and the actors and actresses. The visuals were excellent. The wardrobe for that period was just beautiful and exciting. The visuals which include the martial arts, wow, what can I say? The fantasy was a reality for me. I loved it! I thank the team of The Blood of Youth.

Lee Seung-Gi, why would you pick that character to play! I don't ever want to see a great actor like yourself play that part! OMG, I didn't see that coming AT ALL! My mouth had dropped open and actually hit the ground... Y'all did great in keeping this from the viewers. That Kill House was just too much. I was laughing so hard on an episode where it was just too funny... it had water underneath... not going to give away the episode... The last episodes in Season 1 were so confusing... I didn't understand until the end of it what was being done. Your laughter Lee Seung-gi I can just listen to it over and over. You know how babies laugh... you just want to hear it all the time because it makes you smile... that's how your laughter affects me. I need to put your laughter in a ring tone. It will have me in a good mood all the time.

This will definitely be a rewatch for me. Oh man, I love a great fantasy that's for sure. Vin Zhang, whom I once hated because of "Eternal Love", wouldn't even watch another drama with him in it. I gave in because that was pretty selfish of me to think he was the type of character he played in real life. lol smh, I got over myself and started to watch other dramas and I fell in love with Vin Zhang's acting. He was great in this fantasy playing the character of Luo Ge. Xu Lu did an awesome job of playing Liu Shao, the Sun Goddess. The romance between Luo Ge and Liu Shao had great chemistry. Now let me say something about Wang You Shuo who played He Na, OMG wished I was younger. He was terrific and handsome, and so was his script brother A Fu Jun played by Riley Wang. My first time seeing those two. Need to see more of them. Zheng He Hui Zi (Luo Ning) was so cute and spunky. She played the sister of Luo Ge and was great. A lot of fantasy, great fantasy, and the visuals were pretty awesome. The storyline, wow, I applaud the writers. I just love Immortals. The ending had me confused but I figured it out... but it was a little tricky and twisted. Viewers will have to watch this to know what I mean. Thanking the rest of the staff for bringing this story to the front.

This drama is adorable.

Chen Zhe (Yuan Xiao) and Wu Di Shen (Yue Nan Xing) Oh my goodness, these two were the cutest couple. They displayed great chemistry and were believable. I loved the couple of Luo Ming Jie (Lu Zi Chen) and Qu Jing Jing (Ye Qing) although their chemistry was not 100% but doable. The writers got the storyline right, it was different from other Time Travel dramas. The only similarity to the others is that the water was the sole source of time travel. I need to see a time-travel drama that doesn't use water. A drama that can pull out my emotions deserves a 10. I didn't pay much attention to the music because I was too focused on the story. You will be satisfied to watch all the episodes... don't skip or you will miss some great parts.
