OMG, Psych-Hunter destroyed me in several ways.
I am a fan of the Chinese republican era so I found this BEAUTIFUL drama because I wanted to see something like "Detective L". If you like dramas with mystery, fantasy, Chinese republican era, comedy and an AMAZING BROMANCE, you cannot skip this one.I cannot lie, maybe in the first episodes I was really confused about what was going on, the topic of people using hypnosis to get into the brain was, in fact, weird. However, a weird topic can lead us to some good new stories, and Psych-Hunter is one of them. As I said, the first 3 episodes were confusing, but when you realize what is going on you are extremely curious about how are they going to solve this puzzle.
One of the best things about this drama is that all the cases are related to one big case that involved our dear ML, Jiang Shuo. So, everything is about him, He has the key that can solve every single case that are happening in the city, but he has amnesia, so we have to collect each of the pieces to get the final answer, but let me tell ypu, ypu have to be prepared, because when the tell us the truth about what happened it will blown you mind.
Okay, another "well done" in this drama are the perfect Male leads. God, Jiang Shuo, who is played by Neo Hou, and Qin Yi Heng, played by Liu Dong Qin, are the real jewel of Psych-hunter. The bromance between these two is amazing. I fell in love with their friendship and I think that is the principal point of the drama. You have to fall in love with these two in order to feel genuinely the final episodes.
Nevertheless, no drama can be perfect, and sadly Psych-hunter have a ENORMOUS PROBLEM. They tried to include a "strong female lead". Omg, the most annoying character, the most usless "detective". I mean, she was only the daughter of the General and that was the only reason why she can be with the police, but she is SO USLESS. Mu Qing is the typical Female lead that thinkS that she is smart but always gets into problems and have to be rescued by the male lead. THAT WAS SO ANNOYING.
To finish, I have to say that Psych-Hunter have done something right were the scenarios. OMG, there were fantastic, when they get us into the brain of the victims or the bad guys everything was sureal and was related to the case they were solving. Maybe some of them seemed weird, but they were really few.
I really recommend Psych-hunter, it is worth watching and the combination of mystery, historical, horror and Bromance was spectacular. If you want to watch something interesting, funny but with some pinches of tension and horror, you have to watch this drama.

OMG. I loved it!!!!
I am going to be honest. When I saw the "7.9" in the rating I hesitated, maybe it would be a waste of my time. The only reason why I gave it a try was because Caesar Wu. OMG, he is so hot in the historical dramas, so could NOT miss one of them. Well, let me say that I LOVED THE SHOW. It was a plaesant surprise for me and I am going to tell you why.1. The characters were so loveable
I fell in love with all of them. NO annoying characters, no USELESS characters, and that's a thing I am really gratetfull. Every character had a purpose and was essential for the story.
2. The TEAM
I love all the dramas that have a TEAM. You know what I mean, that group of boys and girls that meet by accident and then, as we go further in the drama, they build THE team of best friend that all of us wish to have. I mean, I really want to hang out with these 4 handsome boys and that sttunign girl.
3. The romance
Okay, Okay. I'm going to be really honest. YES, in this drama we have 3 adorable couples, BUT the romance is NOT the main topic here. "The Chang'an youth" focus more on friendship, family and dreams. In the 24 episodes that we have they gave us little interactions between our couples, BUT the few we got were enough, we got really adorable, cute and beautiful scenes.
4. The quality
When I was searching for reviews about this drama they said that it was a low budget one, and maybe it is NOT one with the best satages or stunning clothes, but I don't think it is a valid reason to skip this drama. I always judge the budget based on the CGI, but this drama doesn't have it so, if this is a low budget drama, they handle it very well. The clothes, the stages, the hairstyles and all those things were fine for me.
My veredict:
You can NOT skip "The chang'an youth" it's a really good drama, we have really deep thougths, the friendship between our protagonist IS GOLD, and it's totally worth it. Also, it's really short, it only have 24 episodes so it doesn't get boring and tedious.

What kind of Male Lead was that???!!!
I was really excited about watching this drama, I love all dramas with a strong FL.The first eps were fine, introducing the characters and giving some clues about the main plot but then everything went down really fast. OMG, the ML, what kind of male lead was that!? I mean, the second lead had more time in the screen than the ML, I know that he is smart but when the FL was in danger the second lead was the one who saved her. I think that creating the ML with a illeness that didn't let him practice art marcial IN A DRAMA FULL OF ART MARCIALS was a mistake, they made him useless.
I wanted to see a strong FL with a strong ML fighting together, this drama didn't give it to me.
I dropped it on ep 5, I don't know if the ML character developed as the drama went on, but I couldn't handle it.
