This drama is SO entertaining. Handsome men, friendship, sports, rivals and power born from tragedy.
I loved it. It's an idol drama, so you can't expect too much budget, but the CG weren't that bad. Acting is a mix of idol-level and VERY good actors (I was surprised to see Kitamura Takumi here, bc I though they would never put him into an "idol" drama, considering he is more famous as a full-fledged actor than a singer).
The power system is really fun. At first I though it was just enhanced physical abilities, but then NOPE, it's really powers. It was so fun.
The best thing in those drama is, of course, always the bROMANCE. I wished the drama was a little MORE streched out. Because it felt too packed, especially the captains match, they could have more time for their storyline, as it is the most complex, and tragic.
Hmm. It was interesting. I enjoyed the drama way more, but it was definitely interesting to see the Ito's pov, and how biased Rio's story is. It was an "interesting" movie, but that's all. I don't regret watching it, but I didn't really enjoy it. :/
Okay, I want to continue watching it, mainly because I really like the mentors... But something is stopping me.
Before I keep going : PLEASE DON'T ATTACK ME, I just want to know, every people has his own preferences in people. I have my own, and it doesn't mean they are better than yours.
So, my question : Is Tao the same all through the show? What I mean is that I began this show, and saw some cut on Youtube, and I see him screaming angrily at the girls, or watching the performances with a feet on his chair like he's at some beach bar (no offense to beach bars, I mean it's relaxed)... Of course, the girls must have been wrong, and everybody can sit how they want but... It's just a major turn off FOR ME, to see angry shouting, and not very respectful/childish attitude. ANYWAY xD
So, did he change, and his attitude is a little better? Or is he like this even in the recent episodes?
I just want to know, before watching it and becoming crazy. I really like EXO OT12, and I don't want to begin to hate him by watching this survival. I also stopped his old survival show where he was a mentor bc I didn't want to have a bad memory of him.
To each his own style of coaching. I just want to know if it's okay after the first episodes, and I can watch it with peace of mind. (and maybe become a fan again?)
I just recently started reading the books so I don't know how far it goes?! The translation did seem pretty far…
I bought the first 2 volumes, and I'm reading the 2nd right now.
Only from memories, I feel like there's 10 vol of the main story (Lost Tomb 1 & 2), and something like 2 volumes of a continuation (Tomb Of The Sea & Lost Tomb 3). And for the translation, I think that they translated all of the main story, except the last volume (or last 2 volumes?) and they didn't translate the 2 volumes of continuations.
I absolutely agree with everything you said. It's true it's not a perfect serie, but it's SO charming, and addictive.
I'm want to read the books, and unfortunately, the traduction was stopped, and they never translated everything... So I don't know if I should try, even when I know I will never be able to finish it.
Love it. There's really a lot of music, but what could I expect from a movie about pianists?
All the characters are really good, no "good" or "bad" people, no unmotivated genius, no rich kid that got in through his connections, no over-the-top kid genius that jumps everywhere... Goodbye cliché. Everybody is here by talent and hard-work, nobody here is disrespecting the others contestents.
Eiden is lost but soon is shown the path by the other contestents. Takashima is not young nor a talent, but he loves music, and has the warmth of an adult that comes with experience. Masaru is a gifted and comes from the elite, but isn't arrogant, and has a dream. Kazama is a young prodigy, who lives with and through the music, and is loved by th "God of piano", but he is also full of gentleness.
Everybody in this movie loves music. And it makes a beautiful ensemble.
It's true I was dispointed with how the drama was going in the last episodes, but it's still a nice one.
The lead is really an amazing actor. He's so subtle, his acting is so natural. Nothing flashy, nothing "I'm so cool in this angle", he's just... a very good actor.
I watched LoveO2O, Gank Your Heart, and King's Avatar. And they all have very different charm point ~~
LoveO2O is mostly a romantic love story that happens to be between 2 gamers. And that love story is the strong point of the drama, as there is no usual cliché situation. No big bad in-laws, no evil second lead, no misunderstanding every 2 episodes (there is, but only for the secondary couple, and it is the worst point of this drama). It does feel unrealistic how PERFECT the main couple is, but it's refreshing, and it's only a drama, after all. I think that people who dates after 300 thousands misunderstandings bc of miscomunication is an incredibly urealistic thing, too. So it's an easy drama, refreshing, and no-nonsense.
Gank Your Heart is a lot more gaming than LoveO2O, but it's still a very romantic driven drama. If not for the e-sport element, it's a very common c-drama, with misunderstanding, bad parents, betraying friends, rivals, unnecessary angst, and love triangles everywhere. But it's a very well-done drama. The characters are charming, the secondary cast didn't feel like too much, the acting was good, and the e-sport story was nice. So it's good love stroy, with a good e-sport setting.
King's Avatar is a very different C-drama, there is no romance. There are female main characters AND males main characters, but there is no one that is treated as a convenient love story. So King's Avatar is a breath of fresh air, that's for sure. And bc half of the drama isn't used for romantic main&sub plots, the e-sport aspect is 100% of the drama. And it's well done.
Finally, Gank Your Heart is the most common of the 3, but it's a good drama. If you're new to c-drama, it's a perfect one, that you can enjoy without problem. And the other 2 are perfect for c-drama veterans. One bc it's not everyday with see drama without the usual angst and misundertsandings of a couple. The other bc there's no romance, and it is SO rare for c-drama (and k).
I'm not really a fan of the 1st episode... Maybe bc I was expecting really good things? It's just... It feels a little too much. And "over the top" doctors are a common thing in dramaland, but Idk what to think about an "over the top", and reckless PSYCHIATRIC.
The way the patients were treated in the 1st episode were so... wtf. He's supposed to be an experienced doctor, but he's WAY too dangerous. The ML seems to take himself for a god, or something? He must know that the patient could hurt himself or others. After all, the cop-patient was very physical with the FL, and atthe end hurt her, maybe not in a physical way, but still greatly hurt her. So the patient WAS dangerous (to the FL) and to himself (bc they said that he was very agressive to a sex offender). And the ML let him go freely in a disillusionnal state of mind?
I'm maybe a little harsh with my critic, even though it's just the first episode. But Korea isn't the most open-hearted country about psychiatry, and making such an over-the-top drama, that begins with an enormous medical error, that ends up with a big incident for an innocent person.... I'm really disapointed.

Sorry for bad english.
It didn't felt like a melodrama, because it was so real, and pure. I love it.
This article is really nice, and the gif are amazing :)
Tomb of the sea takes place years later, Deadly Desert Winds and Sand Sea (Tomb of the sea) are different.
So I just checked and there's 9 volumes, 6 translated & out. Plus 2 continuations the author never finished.

GMMTV why couldn't you follow the book without adding drama that doesn't make sense?
The lead is really an amazing actor. He's so subtle, his acting is so natural. Nothing flashy, nothing "I'm so cool in this angle", he's just... a very good actor.

Yeah Maybe I was expecting too much.
They really need to put a warning.
It's not THE masterpiece. But it was funny and cute. ^^
