The first thai movie I've watched & enjoyed in quite a long time. It is more like a coming of age story rather than romance. First half of movie is really good but 2nd half is quite messy with unnecessary side plots & repetitive scenes. I don't hate the ending but it felt like they could've done better job with ann's departure. It felt kind of nonsense, abrupt & lazy. Overall solid 8.5/10.
So the case remains unsettled & we didn't learn any things abt the man in the end, as I expected & wanted. The man is like the devil himself, bringing misfortune anywhere he goes. His chr reminds me a lot of johan liebert from monster. I'm still curious & thinking abt the way he chose his victims tho. This whole show is pure psychological which is rare & well done imo. Kagawa teruyuki is so mesmerizing in his role as he plays different chrs in each ep; just brilliant acting, esp with his eyes. Anne nakamura is also excellent in this one which I'm quite surprised becuz her acting is pretty average in her other works as far as I've seen. Overall 10/10 from me; thanks hpriest again for finishing this.
This kind of drama is just right up my alley. I love how they're doing things here; acting, direction, camera angles, chrs & their story so on. I believe the final two eps also would not fall short of masterpiece. This is gonna be a wild ride man. Most of all I'm so much thankful to hpriest as always for subbing this, otherwise I would not be able to watch & enjoy this.
Yuina is just mesmerizing in this one. The plot is quite crazy but the performances made up for it. I just can't help but ended up watching it in one go.
Is a 7 really that bad? for me it's an 8 which is really good because I'm liking it a lot. but I rate plenty of…
It's quite bad if we apply mdl standard rating system; at least that is what I personally think. I've watched kdramas & cdramas which are very mediocre & forgettable and yet it's rated still high with the rating of at least 7.5/7.6. Yeah, jdramas are criminally rated low here on mdl imao. When it comes to jdramas, reading comment section is the only & best way to figure out whether the drama is worth your time or not. Sorry for long reply; I don't normally rant this much but today I'm a little more sensitive than usual. Just my personal take, anyway.
Mdl ratings are really a joke; when it comes to kdramas, it's rated so high even the average & mediocre ones, and yet when it comes to jdramas, it's always criminally low even the best ones. I'm not saying this's the best one but it definitely deserves more than this. I normally don't care much abt mdl rating but still can't help feeling pissed off.
Quick question: when you say, “If they deliver this same quality till the end, it'll definitely be DOTS for…
DOTS= drama of the season. It just simply means that this drama is personally my most fav one among airing dramas during the particular season/period. Sorry if it confuses you😅.
This is such a gem. It only gets better & better with each ep. I also love the theme & its message is delivered naturally without being preachy or stupid motivational words/phrases. I also love the chrs & their interactions, very natural & strong chemistry among them; last but not least kudos to the actors that portray their chrs masterfully & naturally without going overboard, especially kubota masataka & kobayashi toranosuke. If they deliver this same quality till the end, it'll definitely be DOTS for me personally & another addition to my all time favs for sure.
Quite average crime drama. There is no element in this show that is making me wanna continue watching this. Predictable, convenient & mediocre cases with not really strong chemistry & dynamics among okura team, so far.
I don't mind slowburn dramas or movies as long as they're interesting & well written. But this one is just slow & messy, not burning enough. After watching ep6, I'm out for good. I can't really stand the chrs in the show, mainly the profiler dad with very bad personality & work ethic.
I don't know what direction they're trying to go for. A messed up family drama, or psychological crime drama?? They didn't succeed at both so far. And personalities of both father & daughter is total shit to root for/care for. Tbh I don't even find both main chrs that interesting or intelligent as they're portrayed to be. However I'm still quite interested in mystery aspect so 'll stick around I guess.
Takano's chr is neither funny nor interesting to me. Tho personally I'm more interested in other chrs and their interactions so I'll keep watching it for the time being I guess.
I avoid watching this one for quite a long time becuz I'm not particularly interested in watching films abt old people(& also kids); I thought it would be boring to watch a movie abt an old woman who wanna be a poet, based on sypnosis. And I finally watched it & I was proven totally wrong. It's definitely slow paced but not one dull moment for me; I can easily see why this is mostly regarded as best lee chang dong's movie. Solid 10/10 for me.
Only 2 eps left to watch. Srsly this drama keeps getting better with each new episode & gradually makes me getting immersed in story & chrs. This might end up being DOTS for me personally if they land the ending well.
