He has 2 awesome sword dances, 2 longer amazing fight scenes and a couple of shorter ones (after episode 20). A small % of LXY is better than most people's 100% (x 10). So if you're looking for fight scenes which looks amazing even without the cgi, this show is the one to watch/finish.

Though to be honest, as awesome as the fight scenes were, I think Cheng Yi's spot-on portrayal of LXY and LLH and the clear contrast between the two characters is a great demonstration of his talent and not at all a
waste. I don't think anyone else could have brought these characters to life the way he did

I'm in US and have a iqiyi us standard vip plan. I just clicked through the link and with my limited simplified chinese reading capacity, it seems that I need a phone number from china, hk, macau or taiwan to move forward with payment confirmation. So I'm guessing the broadcast isn't available for oversea fans :(

I didn’t know that. Thank you! I still can't start another show and am watching the cast's variety shows on YouTube instead. Cheng Yi is just so ridiculously adorably!! And I never knew A'Fei is such an amazing singer and dancer. His performance of flourishing (with a chinese opera singer) and his modern dance on shine, super brothers gave me goosebumps... Anyhow, i just found 8 parts of this on YouTube. There's no subtitles (English or Chinese) though. My mandarin sucks, but I will
still give this a try.

Hmm, I like unpredictable. I suppose I can try love and redemption again (after trying some of the other recs) with judicious use of the fast forward button... Thank you :)

Thank you! I saw blood of youth right before MLC. It made me love MLC more. It highlights how unique LLH is as a character and the message of accepting the past, learning from it and changing oneself for the better. For me, that is what "growing up" is about; and it's so rare to see that in a drama. Most of the time, the character journey is about getting powerful (or experienced) enough to complete
a previously impossible task, but the essence of the character remains unchanged. In some ways, that's FDB's journey, which is probably why I like him less than LLH and DFS. Anyhow, sorry for the
rambling and thank you for the recs :)

Thank you!! I'll definitely give some of these a try :)

Heheh, yes. I have watched the untamed and liked it very much. It is the show that started my appreciation for mainland chinese dramas :)

It's one of the lost tomb shows. I wonder if it has a complete story. I kind of got turned off of the lost tomb shows after the first one. It's may be worth a try after lost tomb 2.

Thank you. I will definitely try heavenly saber. I have watched a few versions before and have always liked it. I started lost tomb 2 once a long time ago but got so annoyed because it is not a continuation of the cliffhanger ending in lost tomb that I stopped immediately. It may be worth another try. I've already seen strange tales, ancient detective and league of nobleman, and I did like them (though not half as much as I like MLC).

I'm trying to find another show to watch and stop myself from re-watching MLC again. The number of times I've rewatched episodes 38-39 is getting high enough to be concerning.... I've already binged draw the line. I unfortunately seem to be allergic to xianxia and cannot make it past 5 episodes of immortal samsara, noble aspirations and love and redemption. I also have very little patience for the naive female archrtype and gave up on stand by me after just 2 episodes. Is there any other shows with the MLC cast (preferably with english or traditional chinese subtitles) that I can try? Mysteries, especially costume ones, are my favorites. Any
recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
