*Guardian of the Dafeng* is a standout show, especially thanks to Dylan Wang's incredible acting. He brings a perfect balance of intensity and charm to his role, effortlessly switching between action-packed hero moments and lighthearted comedic scenes. His performance truly anchors the show, making every emotional and dramatic scene feel genuine. The series itself feels like a Chinese ancient Marvel-like, blending epic heroism with supernatural battles, while adding clever comedic twists that keep the tone fresh and fun. It's a thrilling, yet entertaining ride, and Dylan Wang's talent is undoubtedly a highlight.

Guardians of the Dafeng takes a frequently used plot device of a modern day person being transported to a fantasy world and really embraces the absurdity of the situation and uses it to showcase how the main character is able to adapt and leverage his modern education and experience to his advantage. If you are looking for a serious drama you should move along but similar to shows like Avatar the Last Air Bender the goofy humor is balanced with some intense drama and enjoyable action. You begin to see that the main character uses humor, smarts, and a very high EQ as a tool for survival and that he seems to approach his situation as you would play a video game - sometimes over the top and sometimes very subtle but always working towards a goal of somehow figuring out how to "win" the game or at least make the best of it. Wang HeDi (Dylan Wang) is the perfect person to bring this character to life - his charisma and sincerity is a joy to watch and the supporting cast is fantastic. I love it and can't wait for the rest of the episodes.

The show is totally underrated... it's unique plot from other cdramas... the creativity.. the thrill the twists. Not a single boring episode. With Dylan wang making the show even more interesting.. give the show its flowers.. honestly a 7 is not it'sworth. The writer aced it its totally a 100000/10. Best show ever. And the ending too. Didn't expect that at all. Yall need to watch it to see how good it is. This show deserves a grammy. To the writer, amazing job. Netflix needs amazing shows like this. Eagerly waiting for part 2. The foundation is well set now we're waiting for the writer to blow our minds in part 2..

I loved it so much. The way I went from laughing to crying within seconds was definitely shocking but worth it. I finished it in a week, but honestly, I probably would have finished all 40 chapters in less than half if it weren't for uni work. The friendship was everything, the loyalty was honestly so inspiring and satisfying, and the acting delivery from absolutely everyone was insane, in a very obvious great way. I absolutely loved how Xu QiAn wouldn't stop at anything to get justice. The amount of plot twists honestly just constantly made my jaw drop, and I loved it. I honestly just loved it and am eagerly waiting for season two, as there are clearly some things left unexplained (which I guess were done on purpose to allow a second season to happen).

A little PSA for those who either just came, or mainly came, for the romance: Romance is probably the last thing the writers considered as it is not truly relevant to the story (so don't be fooled by the cover in Viki if you're watching it there!), still, you should definitely give it a chance, it'll blow your mind in the same way it did mine.

This is the first time I have given a TV show a ten rating. I enjoyed this show so much. I really hope there is a season two and it comes very quickly. They said there would be a season 2 but sometimes things don't work out in tv land. Dylan Wang was perfect for the role ( I can watch him swing his hair around and dance all night long!) and the supporting cast was excellent. It had the best combination of humor (both physical and verbal) and heartfelt drama. I wanted the potential romances to pick up a little bit but perhaps that will happen in season 2. This is a must watch TV show. Sit back and enjoy.
