I didn't watch the donghua, so I didn't know anything, but just from on how the description was, I could tell that it was gonna be really good. I founded this drama when it was postponed so I didn't watch it yet. Few days later ep 1 came on my youtube recommendations. Didn't know what drama that was so I searched it here (my dumbo brain). Founded it was the drama that got postponed. At that time still didn't watch it. Well let's just say this was the Minghao effect. When We Were Young (2018) came on my youtube recommendation. It was my first c-drama and it was staring Hou Ming Hao (Neo Hou), and I searched up his name on mdl cause maybe he has a drama that I can watch. And I went there and saw this drama there and he was the main role! Well that was when I started watching it I couldn't help myself. It was still postponed back then but it was only for 3 days! So it was still okay I remember the storyline from the first 4 eps.

I was only there to see him tho, but he didn't really appear much in the first few eps but it was okay! Cause I fell in love with Zhang Chu Lan & Feng Bao Bao. Their chemistry is soo good. I thought ZCL didn't have any power at first. Y'all know those dramas where the ML suddenly gets powers out of nowhere? Yeah I thought it was that and that was actually one of my worries cause I don't really like those. Well good thing it turns out that he had power since he was born!

The outsiders martial art contest was probably one of the best parts in the drama

The best fight in my opinion was ZGQ vs WY. ZGQ had high expectations but he didn't know that WY possesses one of the Eight Supremes. Well I mean WY could easily escaped the barrier that ZGQ made when trying to stop the guy that was trying to consume the girl's qi (let's just say I forgoted his name) but he didn't, so I think that's when ZGQ thought that he was gonna win the match.

WY vs ZCL match... first started was just pure comedy. FBB was trying to bury him but failed! WY used his powers but also failed! FBB chased WY till the arena and ZCL's face! He was madd shocked. And the match was an eating contest. Poor guy WY was mad hungry after being chased by FBB from night till sunrise. Bro was probs very sleepy also. I'm so glad that WY gave a option to ZCL on to stop finding out about the truth. Cause ZCL did change his mind

Now let's talk about WY vs ZG Siblings

THIS part was the best scene in the whole drama in my opinion. WY did parkour and looked so cool omg. When he fought with ZG siblings, he was literally not showing any of his powers at first, just Tai Chi skills & he still won that part. When the siblings said that they were gonna take it seriously now (which they did, approved from WY), WY also took it seriously. In the middle of the match ZGQ calls him and asked him to give them a good lesson. Well guess he really did by using Gate of Gale!

This foursome are the funniest!

ZCL, FBB, WY & ZGQ. These 4 are just pure comedy. It's basically just FBB & her 3 musketeers. The way their faces were covered at first when they were trying to catch the Outsiders... FBB literally looked so done with them.

Finale!

FBB protected ZCL for 12 years! She stayed at his side for so long! ZCL's power is really unstoppable. I really liked the part where WY, ZLY & FXT realized the white beam or whatever it is. They came to help him at first and then EVERYONE came to help him. ZZW was the last key to breaking the barrier. Just one tap, ONE TAP and the barrier broke. Expected from ZZW. FBB was saved but she lost her memories with ZCL, and ZCL fell into a coma for 3 months. FBB has been taking care of him all along, hopefully they get to know each other more in S2! When Xu San & Xu Si brought him out of the room, everyone was waiting for him there. They look so proud of him! ZCL dropped a tear when seeing them, but after seeing ZLY & XH holding hands, his face was in maddd shocked and in disbelief. Glad ZLY & XH got the happy ending they deserved tho.

WY: I finally found someone that is lazier than me

Well that's the end of my review!

Quote from ZCL:
"Everyone came to this world as a seed. They will grow up and take their own paths eventually. The paths that everyone is taking might be difficult or tough. It might be a happy one or a sad one. We've experienced all kinds of things. However, we didn't give up. We still move forward with determination. Everyone is unique in their own ways. Everyone may be different, but we possess the same courage and strength. We grow and love. Cultivation isn't about the past. It's about the present." - Zhang Chu Lan
