A quick thought on The Blood of Youth (2022) // dir. Yin Tao, Zhu Hai Jun
This is a good drama that highlights the passion and dreams of the youth, while also portraying the generational gap between the old and new generations in the martial arts world. It emphasizes how the younger generation should be allowed to make a future for themselves, not be burdened by the ambitions of the older generations, let alone carry and pay the price of the wrongdoings of the past generations. They can carve their own way, form their own allies, forge strong friendships, stand their ground for their principles, and find their own beloved where their hearts will belong. However, they also need to learn from the older generation and it is the elders' duty to pass their skills and wisdom, while also guiding and protecting the youth in doing so. They should also take a look at themselves through the younger eyes, recalling their passionate past and reminding them of their roots, their idealism. And for the younger ones, it's about understanding where they come from and where they belong.
Romance is a sweet treat in this drama; after every fierce battle and thrilling suspense. Presented in a rather tender, timid at times, but in a right amount of sweetness.
Early into the story, viewers will be presented with many names—it's advisable to look at the chart you can find online at the fandom's website, but of course, it's also good to just learn their names along the way as the story progresses.
Of course, a few lines from me alone cannot summarize nor perfectly describe every valuable lesson from this drama, you have to see and find that wisdom yourselves. I hope you can enjoy this drama as much as I enjoy it and admire their friendships and loyalty.

Mysterious Lotus Casebook and The Blood of Youth crossover AU lmao bc the similarities are coincidental and also absolutely hilarious when you think about it
where (spoilers) Li Lianhua actually just leaves to get a fresh start and finds himself in Tian Qi city and gets mad drunk in his first night there and meets the Xiao Se incognito and he's like "wow cant believe i met my doppelganger who looks like me but slightly to the left who also lost his martial art skills" and they vibe and Xiao Se brings him to his gang like hey guys look I found another lost person and he's just like me fr fr!
meanwhile fang duobing and di feisheng are off to Xue Yue city bc of some tournament idk
