Manga or movie, sorry, but Shima is a little bitch. Dude, it's not like girls don't go through this kind of shit in the work place. Get over it already. I'm surprised they didn't show him with cut marks up his arm, he's so damn emo. Thankfully, Togawa is such a hard counter to him. He's my kinda guy with the straight up honest motto: To Thine Own Self Be True.
Some sites list this movie as "romance" but there's essentially none. This a tragic & depressing movie that seems like it wants to take its stab at "The Vow' but fails miserably on every front. I often wonder why 70% of non-comedy Japanese dramas are so fatalistic. The people in her life are deceiving her at varying degrees some with better motives than others. But to discover that she's not a likable person plus the lack of romance or feeling of "hope" makes it very dreary to watch.
Very respectfully done. Even if you're not into B-Love genre, the development of this relationship doesn't make you cringe. Actually, you end up rooting for them.
Oooo.... I started this and, well, it got old real fast. I really do hate to say this but Hawick Lau & Tiffany Tang had 0 chemistry imo. Hawick did his best to look cool and bad and sweet all wrapped into one, but it didn't overcome the lack of connection from his leading lady. I don't know if it's her character or her in particular, but I just wasn't buying their loveline much at all.

It's not that I don't like the characters. In fact, every character who is good who I should be liking, I do like for varying reasons. I think I did admit from the outset that, although I'm having a hard time getting into the show, I never once thought the acting was not quality. They are all good actors by Chinese Drama standards, 100%. So, it's not them per se, it truly is the pacing of the plot itself. I find myself being easily distracted and for how I've sat through and watched some really bad acted, jacked up plot line Taiwanese/Chinese movies/dramas, it truly surprised me. I honestly thought by this time I'd have been invested enough not to look around at other new stuff being posted, but it didn't happen that way. I tend to be able to marathon anything I can manage to stomach, no matter how crazy, if I can get through 8 episodes. I think my lack of interest investment in this show is truly inexplicable to me...
I appreciate all the input and, at least, the acknowledgment and understanding of why it was/is a struggle... but I'm sure I'm get back to it...
Who do you think she'll end up with in the end??? #TeamKanata
I'm glad we are in the same boat but watching the trailers, I didn't think it was really that obvious. lol... that's why I asked. I mean, I started by thinking I knew but then after watching it I was like, "why does she seem to have more chemistry with Chiaki, the older brother. Wasn't he her past boyfriend or crush? Anyway...I'm still #TeamKanata no mattr what. ;)
btw... How has anyone rated this drama at all? It's never even aired! *shake my freaking head* this is the kind of stuff that messes up the rating system for MDL. People should respect the rules on updating ratings for things.
The rumor is it will air sometime this year. The show was updated with the Chinese censors to reduce the # of episodes from 50 to 47 and update the production company. A specific date/broadcast company has not been entered but the air time has been updated to 2016. We'll just have to wait and see if it happens. After seeing all the still pictures this looks like it would be a waste if it didn't actually air.
Baidu says that the crew will rest in July and then go to Burma to finish the shooting in August. Post-production will complete in September and they plan to premiere this in October 2016.

I had already watched TWDR before I watched 6FD, that's why I was so excited to watch it. I cannot count how many varying styles of historical dramas I've watched over the years. Honestly, I think that of all the genres for Chinese shows, this is the style they seem to do the best in. ...but again, I haven't been moved to re-start the drama again. I actually finished "Back to 1989" which was nice but not perfect.
For me it's just that the relationships in NIF are, for me, kind of predictable. Even though it's show bits of info per episode, it's so straightforward as to not be surprising and compelling. I think the best part for me is the martial arts is on point. As for the cinematography, I've watched a lot of historicals and the location shots, scenery, & costuming isn't any more spectacular than other Chinese shows I've watched. It's pretty on par with the rest so I guess that's not as moving to me as others here seem to find it. I recently watched Scarlet Heart, Virtuous Queen Han,& Sound of the Desert and they were just as good if not better in the aspect.
Looks like it's been confirmed to have 36 episodes from 2016-Aug-27 to 2016-Dec-24. Wow. They touched each other in their last webtoon project. I'm actually surprised SoEun-ssi accepted this role, especially since she's replacing SJR's co-star from the drama he was in when they were together on WGM. Interesting twist of fate between these two. Suspect that irl they're more like bro/sis and figure they'd get along fine. Maybe SJR even suggested her as the replacement. *I'm just guessing*
