I'm definitely not one for established relationship so the fact that it starts 2 years into their marriage really turns me off. Do they show the beginning, how they met, etc? I love those parts the most, so if they've included them, like in flashbacks, I think I'll give this one a watch since it seems really interesting otherwise. Great article btw. :)
You have a talent for writing articles. I know it's kind of beside the point, but the way you write and the kind of descriptions you use are very smooth and lovely to read. I may actually give this drama a watch, though it may not be my cup of tea.
I knew I'd love this; I just didn't realize I'd love it so much that waiting for next episodes feels like torture. I'm going to need to wait until it's fully out to watch the rest or I'll spontaneously combust or something. xD
Villains tend to be the most interesting characters for me, especially the ones written with depth to them. (You made some great examples in the article.) I've always had a tendency to lean towards the damaged, the broken, the shades of grey instead of black and white - and most heroes are just too boring for me. Some of the best stories to me, are the ones where we see the villain's life, how he/she ends up "evil" (Your example of bridal mask was great for this.)
Aaaand that is I guess why I adore revenge dramas - I don't give a damn about happy endings, but the journey a "good" character goes through? Bring it on.
Stories where the main character themselves is in the grey area - both the hero and the antihero - are such rare gems, that if anyone knows any (which I've probably seen already lol) please tell me. :D
With short episodes, this series was a good time-filler. Not the worst acting, not the most intriguing plot, but a good way to pass the time. So, a solid 7/10 from me.
A series from Kame I haven't watched? Yeah, count me in. And a plot that actually interests a revenge-holic like me? Now that's awesome. Thanks for the article, I'm always late with new series. :D
If a self-acclaimed FMA nerd didn't hate it, then I, as a person who knows next to nothing about FMA, am not scared to watch it anymore. (Too many disappointments with live actions make one wary.) So thank you for the article, I'll be watching the movie soon.
I loved this movie. I was anticipating it since I saw the trailer, which usually ends up with me getting disappointed... and instead, I liked it even more than I thought I would.
Iit's nowadays very rare that I can't guess the ending during the first half of a movie... but here, all my theories were wrong and I was so happy to see a movie with a twist I couldn't predict, so: 10/10 for me.
I've watched 5 episodes now and I love this drama. The actors are great, the filming is beautiful and I really like the music and the way it 's used.
Also, a miracle: The characters seem more like actual people than stereotypes of every character, ever. And I love how the PTSD/Traumas etc. they have are more understated - not random panic attacks, screaming out of the blue - but silent, mostly internal moments of terror.
Heck, I absolutely DETEST flashbacks, but in this series I'm actually looking forward to them because I want to know more. (And what is great, it didn 't start with the main characters as children for a million episodes - but the tragedy is instead unveiled little by little.)
I randomly found this under the name "af kill cur j s game prologue hd" on Youtube, in case anyone wants to watch. (It was a nice surprise to have Boys love-elements in this, the movie was ok too.)
This is the moment where I awaken to the fact that I live in an free country. I mean, just 12 hours ago, I voted for a gay male in Presidential election. And meanwhile, another country bans *entertainment* about LGBT culture. I feel so bad for Chinese LGBT+ people, and anyone else affected by those atrocious restrictions. I mean, if they take such an issue just about ART about it, their regular lives must be freaking scary.
I'm going to need to wait until it's fully out to watch the rest or I'll spontaneously combust or something. xD
