Both are about a bunch of youths, different levels/phases of martial arts, lotsa good fighting, solid CGI but the differences are….. The CGI of Duoluo Continent is closely related to animals because their cultivation is tied to nature, there is no political theme, production budget isn’t as high, just cos BoY has superb beautiful sets and costumes.

The outstanding characters are Si Feng (actor Cheng Yi), Xuanji (actress Cristal Yuan) and Haochen/Bailin (actor Liu Xue Yi). 10 lives the main couple has to pass, the phoenix rises from the ashes. The girl who can't feel will fall in love. The royal youth who is actually a vengeful god with a mission (Haochen/Bailin). All these characters participate in martial fights with phenomenal magical powers, intrigues, dreams, discoveries and the fate of the heavens covering everyone.

If you like storyline, friendship, Journey, with a little comedy and romance on the side i would recommend The blood of youth. The similarity with A Journey to love:
-The friendship and brotherhood are hot, funny, melts your heart and definitely worth the attention as in A journey to love
-The Story involves a journey of entourage full of young men and funny build of friendship as well as fighting scenes
-Has great plotline, sets, and pacing
-The costumes are gorgeous
-Has comedy and romance on the side but not much
-Great sets and cinematography
-storywise very entertaining, struggles in politics and similarly build

I think both share the same theme of camaraderie/brotherhood/friendship. The classic "the real treasure was the friends we made along the way" shounen trope fits these two dramas. TBOY is more serious and dramatic (but there's still humour at times), whereas IAM is fully packed with comedy. I think IAM is a wuxia as well, so that's another similarity. There are a lot of powers, techniques, and sects in TBOY, just like IAM.
The main character in IAM is the descendant & inheritor of one of the most powerful man in the universe so we can infer that he has the potential to be the The Very Best™, though arguably not as OP as TBOY main character.
