Anyone in Australia can confirm if it's avaliable to stream on BINGE? Just watch site says it is, but I'm not in Australia or have a binge account to check
I don't know where to start except I had hoped this series would be something but from 1st ep I just knew it wouldn't so watched it leisurely with no expections; literally watch it with no thoughts and because I miss Bank's acting. I've seen a lot worse, brought back memories of 10's series 😂
The 2nd couple were my favourite though barely any development, basically they look really good together 😂 they are what VegasPete (VERY LOOSELY. VegasPete are my children 😂) would have been if done on a The Forgotten Night/Love Sydrome budget or the forgotten child of both series😂 I would like more of them ngl. Toxic is toxic. It's fiction, not real life. Doesn't phase me at all and I just take it for what it is and leave it there, I don't really care to bring my real life morals into it unless it's a series where it's meant to have a bit of reality in it.
As for main couple, I love Bank but I really couldn't vibe with his pair.
There's nothing on my list for Wednesday's so it made time pass by.
Honestly, those who want to watch it should and pay no heed to others opinions/reviews and make up their own mind. I find it best to watch a series without looking at comments and reviews because I don't want go into something prebiased.
Some like this series, some don't. I did. It's rare to get decent, plot/character driven stories that are romance free. For me, they're hidden gems. I do think it could have 12/14 episodes and I had some frustrations but I did binge watch it as I was enjoying the characters and plot :)
I do love a good brotherly revenge plot, with extra violence. They are my weakness. I liked that it didn't drag out to like 12 or 16 episodes. I think 7 episodes was fine for how the plot progressed. Did a silent fist pump for the younger brother's underling.
I agree with your sentiment about the cast. The writing and direction wasn't great, quite basic honestly, so even…
100% agree.
Also, absolutely loved Be My Favourite, that it actually became a favourite. So it really isn't about the actors. They really just aren't given something great to work with.
Seems we agree on all things. I've always loved Boom since CoH and briefly knew Smart from DSN (and his story I never got 😂), and just from the 1st episode, you could see the connection between them; that they match each other so well that it just clicks, nothing about them feels off. I never felt that with Joss and Gawin.
Same with Star Hunter, I really liked Big Dragon as an overall series but a majority, if not all, of their series, like you said, go nowhere and they like to make the plots messy for no reason at all. They have the potential and the basis of their series have good ground but they don't follow through.
To conclude; I really have no idea what GMMTV were going for with this series. I don't get the vibe or genre they were aiming for, honestly. Which is a real shame because I did have high hopes for this series when it was announced.
This was so boring. And cringey. But all issues like cgi and plot aside, my biggest problem was the cast.They…
I agree with your sentiment about the cast. The writing and direction wasn't great, quite basic honestly, so even though these are great actors, I didn't feel like they had room to play with characters/lines. It felt rigid in a lot of places, with no room to grow. Without meaning this as an insult to other series but this felt like a beginner Star Hunter series and not a GMMTV series that should have decent enough budget and time to make it better than what it actually was. I also think I'm on the same page as you regarding JossGawin. Great actors and great actors can have great chemistry with anyone (Gawin & First case in point) but as a "ship/couple" I don't really see it, either.
I just expected more. Tong coming back to life & Nakon dying were just very predictable from episodes before. No real great plot twist. I wanted to connect to the characters and plot but just couldn't. Even sad scenes didn't affect me and usually I cry at any actor crying 😂 It was a fun watch ever week, though.
However, can't believe I'm gunna say this (screenshot in case I delete later 😂), every week since it aired, Pitbabe had my attention more which is really staying something when you know my beef with pitbabe 😂
they'll upload the rest of the episodes once the show is complete in Japan
Don't see why they just didn't wait until it had finished in first place. Episode 5 was just getting to really good bit and now I have to wait and hope my interest doesn't wane lol
Extra ep set 11 years later with happy ending https://youtu.be/rIcdgalcMUE
I saw but it's annoying that it has to be an extra ep, like why not just make the finale ep a happy ending and I hate time jumps, especially big ones like 11 years 😵💫 Seems like extra ep was a back up 🫤
I was going to give this a better rating but the final episode let me down.
I've been around long enough to expect the bare minimum of happy endings from China. A majority are sad, and a few are very open ended, and only happy when it collabs with an outside country.
So for this series to have a sad ending isn't shocking or surprising. It's not even a bad thing - IF IT HAD BEEN DONE WELL.
I cannot fault the acting and chemistry. It was the whole glue of this series. The plot; minus unexplained issues, like the necklace, wasn't that bad.
How they ended it was the issue; nothing was explained, there was no plot twist, introduction of a character right at the end that overall had no impact whatsoever. The ending was predictable and frustrating. A full episode of flashback clips, it honestly served no purpose as it ended as simple as plot message; abandon/leave him or he dies. So he did.
