All-Time Hilarious Banger
'The Comic Bang', if I must say, is also another drama which is trapped in iQIYI's dungeon for years since 2021 due to copyright issue (if I'm not mistaken). It is adapted from a well-known Japanese manga 'Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun', though I haven't read it myself. By the way, I first came upon 'The Comic Bang' when I happened to scroll through iQIYI's upcoming dramas and surprisingly, I don't regret picking this up even though it has less buzzed viewership and crooked rating. Want to know what's the story about? Keep reading below yes...
So, this show revolves around a shoujo manhua artist named Lu Yeqi and his to-be girlfriend, Zuo Qiandai, who keeps screwing up her confessions. However, as a science student, Yeqi lacks the idea and inspiration of what makes a shoujo manhua better. With the help of Zuo Qiandai, he begins to rediscover his life and also finds numerous materials for his manhua, which he will later use to confess to Qiandai. Alongside them are the flirtatious flower boy Chai Ziyu, the tomboyish drama queen Lu Dao, the strict drama club's president Gu Zhengxing, the devilish and bold bad girl Zhou Jieyue, and the cute yet dumb basketball enthusiast Jiang Ruosong. Over time, they face hardship and crisis together and find their self-growth in the process, ultimately cementing their relationship as a cohesive manhua team.
Okay, so the plot's nothing special, but the screenwriter manages to utilize every single trope into a slapstick comedy without being too cringe or too dull - everything fits just seamlessly. In each episode, there will always be funny stuffs revolving around the seven of them. I can't help but keep roaring with laughter till my stomach hurts because the scenes are just damn too funny to resist. I also like the part where they fight for Mr. Gong Jian's right to reclaim his old job (he's Yeqi's editor or something like that) and the final part when the racoon-guy Qian Ye is hit unconscious by another manhua artist, You Li (Yeqi's former neighbor).
Acting wise, I only know Shen Yue, Jenny Zeng, Zhao Yiqin, and Wu Yuheng out of the whole casts, but most of them do greatly and truly capture the essence of each character straight out of the manhua. The production team also does their best to create the atmosphere with Japanese-like vibe, so that the watchers will be drawn into the show more than they expect to be.
Costumes, background, settings are pleasant to eye and there's no over-the-top designs. OSTs are okay-ish, but they don't hook me much.
If you're in a need for a light-hearted comedy youth drama, then 'The Comic Bang' is for you. It can also be your stress-reliever after facing a great deal of real life pressures, exams, and many more. Don't hesitate to try this drama and you'll know why it is very enjoyable (kind reminder: do not look at the misleading 7.8 rating). Okay, this is the end of review, good luck and happy watching!!!
