This show is just wow. I'm at Ep 9 and it just gets better and better. The 4 main male characters have a weird conflict/support vibe going on that is the coolest bromance I've seen-they are also all hot. As someone below commented I never skip the OP because the visuals and audio are the best. I'm so glad I picked this drama up.
Ep 2...so confused right now. The owner's nephew (?) says "we won too many times" (last year) then says "championship, disbandment"x3? Does he want to loose games (ie gambling on the results of games) or does he want to win the championship and disband (or maybe sell?) the team? So confused right now. [I'm not sure if this is a spoiler for ep 2 so I will mark it as 'spoiler'.]
Just wondering what the name of this drama is? It's "Hot Stove League" here in kisskh but in KissAsian it's "Stove League"?? Either way it's about baseball so I'm in.
No to Go Go Squid. I watched all of it and it is so sloooooooooow and repetitive. I have an IT background so I tend to favour the gamer/hacker type dramas but, even so, the female lead is never less annoying and let's not even mention the best friend who somehow owns the female lead. I stayed for the guys on the team but it was a long journey and I was relieved when it was over. It was a struggle and I stopped a few times.
I would recommend The Prince of Tennis. This show is adapted from a manga so you expect the characters to be a little larger than life, and they are-just a little. It's 40 episodes of tennis with lots of laughs, AMAZING looking young men, bromance, team work, hard work, bright sunny courts... I'm not a fan of tennis by any means but, if it was physically possible to sit for 40 hours to binge this show, I would have done it. I am desperately hoping for a 2nd series. I'm usually the person who skips 2nd/3rd series if I think the resolution of the 1st was adequate, but, for this show I will be eagerly waiting. I can't recommend this one highly enough.
I've just finished the Series and there are hints of romance, Qi Ying is obviously crushing on Lu Zia from ep 1, Lu Xia does crush on Qi Ying but it's a slower process and there is no actual declaration between the two. I'm really hoping for a Season 2 which develops this sweet, innocent romance (and gives us the Nationals battles).
Prince of Tennis 2019 (on Netflix) I'm a fan of baseball so obviously I'm going to watch this now I have found it. I've just finished watching Prince of Tennis - I'm not a fan of tennis but this drama was truly addictive. Being 40 episodes means I could not binge through, but I gave it my best shot!!!! The bromances within the team and with members of other teams, the respect and the sportsmanship were inspirational.
This is devastating. Another talent taken too early. We are asked not to speculate - but we can't help questioning what is going wrong. Why these amazing, hardworking, talented people feel suicide is their only option...because they can't meet the impossibly high standards idols and actors are forced to adhere to? As fans we need to take some responsibility too, we need to stop turning on artists (via social media) when they fail to meet our expectations, if we are more accepting and supportive the companies that represent artists may follow our lead and ease off. I know many of us are supportive and accepting, perhaps we need to be "louder" on social media.
I haven't read the manga nor have I seen the anime but I loved this movie. The music, the ghosts, the action scenes are on point. Kind of felt for the villain though...if mass homicide is justifiable then he is justified.
Why would you expect a commercial drama to deal appropriately with psychological trauma that would take years if not decades to heal from in therapy? Do we see the family of murdered victims getting phycological counselling in dramas? Do we see the people left behind by cancer and suicides getting phycological counselling in dramas? Do we, in real life, see people die of broken hearts or live for decades with unrequited love? Do we see the offspring of murder victims plan and execute intricate revenge plots in real life?
Yes, TharnType has glossed right over the psychological trauma of Type's past however that is standard in dramas - they either gloss over OR dwell to the point of ridiculousness (how many dramas have I watched where the Mother runs away, leaving children to abuse, to save herself or to "have a life"?) Expecting a BL romance to deal sensitively with sensitive topics is understandable but probably not realistic. I'm just happy that a drama with any kind of homosexual content is mainstream; I hope that society as a whole sees the interest and involvement of audiences and begins to accept that it is 'the norm'. No, TharnType is not perfect but it is trying to break down barriers by saying "Love is love" and it cannot be denied the two main leads have a beautiful chemistry together...those little kisses are heart-melting.
At ep 16 and binging...can't stand the females though - they are completely irrational and blame the special needs kid for every death/disaster...wtf? Male lead (special needs kid) is completely convincing and breaks my heart constantly. I'm literally yelling at the screen as I watch this. Unusual for me to be so into a historical drama - they are not my thing and I avoid them like the plague. But this one has me hooked.

To those the world has lost: be at ease.
