Omg that comment is so on point! As a French speaker myself I was cringing so hard whenever they spoke French...I…
3 lines for a drama from a non-speaker? They read it phonetically, the lines are written in Thai and they practice the words. It's supposed to give an illusion, not be realistic.
Istg enchantè is one of those shows that get better the second time you watch it cause all the sudden all the…
Exactly. I finished my rewatch today, and Theo is perfectly on point the 2nd time. Like the dude KNOWS they are all full of shit, but he really wants to know why they are pretending to be enchante. And I know most audience hates Theo, but MY GAWD did Akk make me want to shake him. Like man, HWAT THE FUK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!! u say "J'taime" then pretend that u don't know what it means, u kiss the guy, then act like it was a dream, U LIKE HIM, but u are still looking for his mystery lover. I get he had friendzoned himself, because Theo was so freaking obvious you can see he is smitten from the moon.
Also, Theo getting upset with the divorce and Akk. I mean, he has a right to throw a tantrum - if the parents had been upfront with him from the get go, instead of him finding out through a gossip from college mate who heard it from an employee of his mother's and comes home to her packed bags, anyone's gonna get mad/upset. He blamed Akk for hiding, which well, people act they have never irrationally acted or misplaced blame in heat of the moment. He is a young human and he acted like one.
can anyone help? I just started and as always come to see what people think. A lot have mentioned stopping at…
It's one of those shows which is good on rewatch because u can skip through unnecessary stuff, like the whole enchante thing and just watch for Akk and Theo. 3 of 4 ambassadors are creepy assholes who are after Theo's money or connections, the last one just got dragged into the mess for no reason. The endgame is Theo and his friend, obviously.
TIL that 60% of the group has done bls as of 2024: - CSH - Mr. Heart (2020) - ESU - Behind Cut (2021) - CCY, GWJ - Light on Me (2021) - SJY - Breeze of Love (2023) - YJW - Eccentric Romance (2024)
Dude, he is a loaded guy with excellent connections. Even they were in it for the guy himself, the perks will…
That is the point. Saifah aside, ALL of them were freaking creepy and disingenious. Esp that Phupa (Aou) character. He just proved that apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The football guy just came across as a serial-apist, kept trying to get Theo alone and drunk. What was he planning to do? Make an MMS and blackmail him? That painter was a bigtime stalker, but atleast he was upfront about using him. I didn't really mind him because once u know the reveal (I am doing a rewatch rn), you realise that Theo was just humoring him.
The show is basically Theo on a pointless mystery hunt of why 3 random creeps are pretending to be "Enchante", meanwhile poor Saifah is wondering just how dumb Akk is that Theo needs to hire 4 whole guys to play a fake love-rival.
ep 1 & i'm literally fighting to stay awake 😩not because of the series, i'm just sleepy 😂i'll have to pick…
Unhappy ending for BL couple. Don't bother if it's not your cup of tea. P.S. the way it's been trashed to hell and back, that's not even a spoiler anymore.
HEY!!! THREE creepy stalkers. Don't you be bad-mouthing my Saifah! :)I was thinking about that - the first one…
Dude, he is a loaded guy with excellent connections. Even they were in it for the guy himself, the perks will come with him. His parents aren't going to disown his sorry butt for hooking up with a guy, much less one of the "ambassadors".
Rewatch Edition: As said in my Kidnap review, Gmmtv has pretty much cemented itself as the master of misguiding trailers. This was one of their first victims.
I am rewatching this again today, and honestly if already u know what's coming, it's better. Like the CS4 (Creepy-stalker 4) were so obvious on the 2nd watch. They seem EXACTLY like the group of friends who would date-gan-grape a girl and GET AWAY with it because they are "good student ambassadors" and their image is tied to the Uni's reputation. Force/Akk probably knew their real reputation because, he kept trying to avoid the Senior-stalker but if your bestfriend keeps chasing red flags like an intoxicated bull, what can you do? U just suck it up, and hope that when shit hits the fan, u atleast have some room left to run.
That said, I don't think Theo meant to keep the charade going on for so long. He probably wanted Akk to get jealous but Akk escalated by openly calling out for Enchante and CS4 showed up, and I guess the idiot doubled down because he didn't want to admit that he was pathetic and lonely to his crush. And the lies just kept building up.
Thanks for the review... I was looking for something to play in the background while I worked - I won 2 months of free yt premium (it will end on 26th Dec, lmao), and I have every intention of milking it for all it's worth - so I needed something mindless but fun, that I don't really need to pay attention to. I am not every fond of ensemble-bls (burned too many times, lmao) but this pointless, plotless series seems to fit what I'm looking for while I wait for HSF to finish.
Well, at least, hope it's better than Enchante, which I'd skipped the first time because of it's harem plot, but decided to watch yesterday.
Are the both main leads brother and sister because they both have same surname yan can anyone explain
They are not related, and that's one of the reasons I dropped it. I really wanted him to be the brother and SML to be the ML. Unfortunately, their actual relationship isn't explained, and even if they were related, we wouldn't know since all the people who could have known were already dead.
7.7? I'm not touching this show with a ten foot pole with that rating
Ignore the ratings and trailer. It's a solid 10 slice of life drama with bomb chemistry, and healthy relationship where mains communicate their issues openly and maturely, a character's trauma-related PTSD are actually part of the plot and not taken lightly (there is no magic cure, he is still in therapy until very end). The fight and sex scenes are actually decent and "believable" because the MC is a supposed to be stuntman/bouncer who is trained to fight, and not some college boy who is suddenly an expert in martial arts when surrounded by thugs.
All the introduced plot-arcs actually do get completed; no character, INCLUDING minor characters, is wasted; no unnecessary drama between main leads, or with the dad. ALL communications happen openly on-screen. The dialogue is at times cringe-worthy, but u can always stare at Ohm (whoever was in charge of his styling deserves an Oscar and a Nobel prize because MY GAWD!!) and ofcourse, the OST. I'm sure even the people who hated the drama love the OST, so I won't waste my breath on it.
I really would like for once Chinese dramas to portray men who are unhappy in their marriages and move on to a…
I would suggest Winter Begonia (BL) for that plot, but it's a period drama takes place at the beginning of Japanese occupation, so it's not everyone's cup of tea. It's very noir-y with very very heavy themes.
It does involve a man cheating, but it is "justified" in a sense. The ML was forced to marry an older woman for money. The woman needed a trophy-husband to front her business (because her father wouldn't allow a daughter to inherit the family business) and the guy needed to pay off his family debts. She tries to control him financially, while he tries to be good husband, until he meets MC, a successful male opera singer who understands him on a "spiritual" level.
The wife starts as basically a vamp who tries to separate the two, at one point even threatening to cut her husband off financially, until the opera singer tells her that he has never been in it for the money, and that he is more than capable of supporting himself and his lover by himself. She eventually does come around (it's a period drama and we are supposed to root for the cheaters, but wife was actually fav character). It ends with an opening ending (and hilariously, the most famous scene of the drama) where ML and his wife both wait at the train station for the husband's lover to come, so they can escape Japanese-occupied China.
On 3rd but reading the comments, dropping it. I was hoping Yan Zijing would be her long lost brother of something (red pearl clue), and the other guy ML. Unfortunately, it seems I was wrong as well the rest of it isn't worth it either.
