bad acting. bad script, bad subs, also add bad directing. But there is a certain charm to it all that I cant explain,…
Yeah, I agree. It's not really good on any level, but there is something that keeps me coming back... probably the chemistry beween Prab and Chol which comes across despite all the bad script, direction, acting etc.
warning: there's attempted rape in the novel and i feel like they're least going to be including elements of that…
I feel like maybe they are beginning to do a little better when adapting novels to live action dramas these days? I keep hearing about scenes in the original novels that were left out or changed significantly for the dramas, making them much less toxic. So let's hope the production companies are waking up to that.
I was wondering too, because usually children's voices are very obviously dubbed by adult women, but the kid in this drama actually sounds like it's his own voice.
Despite issues with the subtitles, this is a super cute drama. Don't expect it to be realistic or make a lot of sense -- it's more in the vein of YYY (but not quite as absurd). It's a highly stylised series, both in terms of visuals, storyline and acting, but it's very fluffy and has some heartwarming themes of coping with traumatic mental blocks and friendship and healing (and some very homoromantic subtext). I like the goofiness and heart of the series.
I really adore Gene, and Up plays him wonderfully. He's a grumpy introvert who doesn't do well with lots of people…
I guess he's not a typical BL protagonist? I love seeing someone like him, grown up but a little but messed up, a bit clueless, not very confident, used to mainly his own company and his fantasy worlds, but totally adorkable without having the least idea about it himself. He's probably at least demi-ace, since he hasn't figured out his sexuality by this point. He has a little bit of the same adorkability that Adachi in Cherry Magic has, but Gene is more tsundere. I mean, what's not to love? XD
i have sooo many thoughts and no one to rant to so I'm going to let them out here,, this might be a bit messy…
I really adore Gene, and Up plays him wonderfully. He's a grumpy introvert who doesn't do well with lots of people and strangers, and a very private person, and he is being very challenged! He's also confused about his own feelings and (possibly) sexuality. Totally relatable for me.
I loved some of the previous instalments in the HIStory series, but I'm not sure I'll continue watching this. The characters are either super bland or unlikeable, the plot seems super clichéd, and the whole thing just feels stupid. Oh, and there's that very problematic thing that gave me the absolute willies.
The production looks good, but it has no charm. I've watched really low-budget, amateurish BL productions that were still enjoyable because they had charm and it was obvious that everyone involved were trying their hardest. This drama, though? I don't care about any of these characters. I don't know what they are trying to do here, but it doesn't look like my kind of thing at all.
Don't trust my say-so, though -- it's free on Viki, so you should watch it and form your own opinion.
We will just continue from EP5, I am kinda guessing they will need another week for 4Eps of subs. In that time…
Yes, and I finally got them to work when I opened the links in the TOR browser. For some reason they didn't work for me in Chrome. Thanks for your help!
