What a great first episode! Entertaining, cute and fun, plus a very nice and promising cast! Jimmy looks soooo fine here, maybe a bit too thin but he looks so elegant and graceful! And Sea made me cry after five minutes already, this boy can really act. <3
Happy to see Junior and First, too! Never get enough of them! And sidenote: Thap's sister is so beautiful, I'm in love with her already, she has mesmerizing eyes!
I have no words nor strenght anymore to write anything about this drama after watching this episode...
...BUT... ...please tell me that during Ramil's fencing training I wasn't the only one thinking about all those 60's/70's/80's mangas/anime like Attack No.1, Captain Tsubasa, Ashita he Attack... in which all the boys and girls have chains on their ankles and wrists and they have to run/jump to become stronger... XD
Aaaand it's over. Whether it was bromance or brotherhood, however you wanna see it, it was very well done: kudos to both actors because they really gave an intense yet elegant performance.
Basically these poor boys could have lived their lives together from childhood, instead they had to carry the weight of their families on their shoulders... no wonder it ended like that, Xiao Xi was a gentle soul and much more frail than Jianwei.
Great costumes, and also I loved the opening song but can't seem to find it on Apple Music or through shazam - anyone knows which song is it? Thank you!
Heeeeeeeeeeeng! Finally! *_* And for just a split second I thought he would have a normal role, but... after one minute... ah no ok, he's going to be the bad guy here too. XD
Anyway - for as much as I love Yo's character, I am perplexed with Jom's: he's so fickle, changing his attitude continuously... just one episode to go, we'll see how everything ends!
(Sidenote: this was the one series they had to title KIDNAP... basically at every episode someone gets either kidnapped, attacked, hurt or whatever...! XD)
idk where the misinformation or translation is coming from but chenwang said "婉娘跟蕙娘本就是亲姐妹"…
Thank you for quoting the original phrase!
Yes, the translation/sub says "birth sister" which is a completely different thing from a real sister (and it was something very common too, so it could have been a completely normal thing), so your quote of the original dialogue was much needed.
I think you had bad subs maybe, bc it said that they’re real sisters, they even have same family name
Yes, the subs said "birth sister" which was actually something very common especially in courts -- but listening to them talking in chinese they actually call themselves jiějiě, and there is someone who quoted the exact phrase in chinese which uses the term for biological sister.
I would be very curious to know if this story is adapted from a novel, what the novel says. (Yeah you're right the surname is the same, Huiniang and Wanniang, and the same characters are used too)
I saw the trailer for this and I just know it's going to destroy me in the same way The Miracle of Teddy Bear…
This! Ep6 just came out and I just had the same thought, the look in Rati/Inn's eyes and my mind just directly went to MoTB... I'm not mentally prepared to cry that much!
Aaaaand it's over. I had a lot fun, as expected, although the "noncommunication" trope becomes tiresome after two whole series... but yeah, the actors did great and delivered such a weird, chaotic and overthetop comedy that I couldn't stop smiling or laughing (I especially loved Akafuji and Haibara, their mindtrips were pure gold for me!).
In case you don't know: "birth sisters" means they gave birth at the same time, not that they are actually sisters. Their mothers were only friends, not sisters. So, they're not cousins.
(I haven't read the novel, so I don't know about the original story... but birth sisters is something that always existed in which women who give birth in the same moment help each other with the newborns. There are even social projects nowadays with this kind of help...)
Yes! I'm so happy and proud for marriage equality and I'm super happy to see it in dramas with proper official representation, yesssss!!!
(That aside... I will miss them so much! This drama started strong and weakened a bit towards the end, but I loved how their relationship evolved, it was so natural and never farfetched... so many great moments and nice dialogues... maybe it wasn't the best drama of the year, but it was a very good one and seeing KristSingto together again already deserves full points!)
Ok, I came late to the party but... looks like a great and fun one! *_* I just started bingewatching and I'm already halfway through, it's such a great series!
This will forever be one of my most loved dramas ever. I've watched it while it was airing (yes, I'm THAT old! XD) and I often rewatch it beacuse it never fails in making me laugh out loud, but also stop and care for all the characters in it.
And Nagase is such an incredibile, talented and versatile actor!
I need a good drama for Kame, please... he's an incredibly talented actor, but with the ability to almost always choose mediocre projects. This looks like it will finally be a good one!
I haven't seen the original and watched this because of our boys, AND because it looked damn fun... well, it was! Funny, chaotic, very well acted and with a nice pace (although it kinda slowed down a bit after the first hour). Now I really hope someday we can see Billkin & Krit in another (mature) lgbt story. <3
PS: watching the ending credits had me thinking that Billking must be such a fun guy to be around, and I loved how he improvised in so many scenes!
Ok, halfway through and still can't get all the hype - it's a good drama, and I absolutely recognize the need to support a chinese BL, but honestly 8.7 as of now feels way overrated. The direction and the editing are pretty sloppy, and although the actors have nice chemistry the acting feels off at times (except for Chi Cheng's actor who's really fluid and natural in delivering all of his lines and has a very nice body language).
Anyway - I'm very curious to see how the second couple develops, it's basically what has me most entertained up to now.
These two are the best couple ever! The actors are so natural around each other, I love how well-rounded both characters are and how they interact: they really "feel real", one real Tada and one real Armin with vivid interactions! I especially love how Armin keeps smiling while around his bf! <3
I already foresee me watching fanvids of these two, continuously, for months and months when the series will end...!
To be honest, I can't really empathize with any of these characters - I'm liking this series (although many scenes are kinda cringe and many others come out as overly dramatic) and I keep watching every week because I really want to know how it ends, BUT I feel like they completely messed up the screentime for all the plots and subplots this story has. Most topics are very interesting but they are not addressed completely, just "pointed out" and then forgotten or left aside. And plus, all the sons/daughters/people/husbands/wives... so many characters, but most of them just "thrown there" and that's a pity, because it could have been a very beautiful and intriguing mosaic of stories and lives.
They could have used few more episodes to better focus on all the characters, their backgrounds and their growth... and make a longer drama; or, think about a first and a second season.
Anyway, we're almost there! As of now I just hope our alltime favourite butler is still alive AND we get a wedding or an official declaration of Khanin/Ran and maybe a kick in the ass to the monarchy!
