It’s interesting to read the comments and reviews talking about what a masterpiece this is - I am on episode…
Started this show last June... And I'm stuck at episode 21 and struggled to even get there. Can't seem to get into it at all. It was first Chinese drama to boot. It was so hyped that I actually bought the books. As far as the books are concerned... I do struggle with all the names but though there are not the greatest fantasy books I've ever read, I do find them entertaining. The focus on the story is on the Present and there's this underlying romance between Wang Ji and Wu Xian that keeps me in even when I'm not completely sold on all the intrigues. Though I've got to say, I started reading the series in July and I'm still reading the second volume as I'm typing this... and I'm a BIG reader. In spite of my busy schedule I usually gobble up a 500 pages book in less than a week... on top of that I'm used to read thick very thick fantasy books (over 1000 pages for some) which is telling. It's entertaining, but there's way better literature out there.
The drama though ...I'm on the verge of dropping this series to be honest. Lots of very good shows out there. I find it hard to make a decision because I already watched 21 episodes... I'm glad I saw your comment though because it shows I'm not the only one who finds this show boring. Like you, I just can't care about any of these characters... Except Wu Xian maybe, but he's just not enough.
I'm giving myself up to the end of November to make a decision... I just don't want to drag that show up to 2023. Next time I try a Chinese show however, I'll stick to 35 episodes max. Wish they did like most Asian broadcasters and stuck to shorter length series.
Dunno how to add the service and too lazy to bother. I'm watching it on Gagaoolala anyway but just for those who would like to watch the show legally. I doubt there's any scenes cut because each episode is pretty short. Anyway, don't care about the negative comments, I'm personally really enjoying that one. Though I wish the show would only focus on GolfGun and EmName.
Also, I totally get Gun... I was just the same when I was his age. He might no longer have acne but he's just excessively shy, at least when he had acne he had an excuse... Now he lied so that gives him a new excuse not to confront Golf and his feelings. There's comfort in maintaining the status quo and there's how others see you and how you see yourself which is very veeeeeeeeeery different.
Golf is this good looking dude and Gun is this very shy very awkward kid. This isn't overly confident Fiat guys, this is a very very awkward, timid and introverted Gun (note to people by the way: being introverted and being shy often goes hand in hand BUT is not always the case, you can be very introverted but not shy in the slightest).
They've also written each other letters for years... which means that Golf knows things about Gun that Gun might not have shared with him had he known he would fall in love with him... We've all shared things with close friends that we'd rather not make our love interest know. But their relation started off as friends... and now that Gun loves him, well... that complicates things. On top of that, we don't know if Golf feels the same. Is it love or friendship on his side? So yeah. Gun is a coward... But I get you man. I get you. People might see this as ridiculous but I understand.
Last but not least, I really don't get why people are bothered by the "slow pace". Come on. Some shows are great to binge but slice of life ones usually don't fall in that category. Watching one episode per week is great + there's so many shows to watch, you barely realize that a week has passed that a new episode is uploaded.
I wish there were less shows, at least I wouldn't feel like I just can't keep up.
I got "To ask for Eiw's Picture of Yesterday's drama"Typed it directly... I think it's pretty accurate given there's…
I don't really know if it makes more sense given he should already have gotten these pictures... BUT It's not google translate fault: 1st: handwritten Thai is not easy to decipher... I've been learning it for over 8 months now and I still struggle reading when the "circles" (which are often omitted on computer fonts) are not properly drawn... 2nd: All words are stuck together in Thai and it's handwritten Thai so they omitted what is "obvious" for the reader. For instance, instead of writing: "เมื่อวาน" or "เมื่อวานนี้" for "yesterday" it was written "วันวาน" (day - yesterday) which also means "yesterday" but is probably more familiar... and you can also find "วาน" for yesterday as well... which must be a nightmare for google translate I guess.
To those wondering; it says "si eiw" on the globe.The note on the wall closely translated to "funny pics. I'm…
I got "To ask for Eiw's Picture of Yesterday's drama" Typed it directly... I think it's pretty accurate given there's no picture of Eiw with his weird costume but who knows...
Dropped it at episode 2 because I couldn't handle the cringe either... But given the comments, I sucked it up…
If I remember well you're at that point when you get to understand why Toh and Nuea are literally made for each other... Good luck with the pause button though :D
I heard that this series was hot trash, but kind of in a good way so i was planning on watching it. But i just…
Dropped it at episode 2 because I couldn't handle the cringe either... But given the comments, I sucked it up for another episode. I don't know if it becomes less cringey because honestly the second hand embarrassment is god-awful... Can't watch it with somebody else in the same room, but I surprisingly got into the story by episode 3. I think it's a hit or miss. Either you get into it or you don't. I think you should give the show a try up until episode 3 included and than make a decision. That's when the switch happened for me. Now I'm literally living for the cringe though I have to admit it takes me more than 1 hour to finish a single episode because I literally need to often pause.
