I really enjoyed this drama! It was really hilarious! xD I decided to watch it because of the cross dressing troupe as it is one of my favourites, but did not have high hopes but I ended up loving this drama! <3
I loved the combination of romance, comedy, bits of dark moments (but mostly light), awesome characters, great kissing scenes, great chemistry and family feel with all the cast and actors, good fighting scenes, loved the costumes, background and production overall.
I mostly loved Ye Zhao Nan and Liu Xuan Ming together. They were so cute, adorable, and great together. I loved their chemistry; it was excellent, and their reactions felt real and genuine.
Also, considering this was a short Chinese drama, I loved the story and how it was portrayed and gave great messages too.
Like men and women can do anything they want and what they like. Regardless that the stereotype is that a man is supposed to do that, or a woman is supposed to do that. Like the world can prosper if we stop judging and see beyond our noses (not sure if this is an expression or I’m using it well but like I have heard it somewhere before, but whatever ;P)
Honestly, I liked it better than I expected. The story was crammed and sped up, but I kind up warmed up to it as the story went along and liked it.
Of course, the manga and the anime are the best and what I mostly love. Also, I do love the 2010 movie version more as it was the first live action adaptation of Kimi ni Todoke and in my opinion the actors were more suited to the characters.
However, the drama was good, and I ended up liking the actors who played the characters.
I have one question and I'm curious about it. Was this drama filmed like between 2014 and 2015? As when they were looking at brochures to enter colleges, they all had 2015 year written on them.
Anyway, if you are a fan of the story, it's good to check this drama out ^_^
This is the first time I have seen a variety show from the beginning till the end, as I sometimes / rarely watch short clips of Korean variety shows on youtube.
I honestly enjoyed it a lot ^_^ It was interesting, exciting, dangerous, had hard quests and made me feel tense most of the time.
Now, I don't know if the ending was rigged or there was foul play, etc but I can say at least I loved the concept of this variety show.
It would be interesting if they made a second season. I don't know whether they will continue it or not with the controversies that happened and saying that there was foul play.
Btw, I think there was one of the death matches missing as the action stuntwoman did not appear. Correct me if I'm wrong but I do not remember her. I noticed her when she like got the spotlight of the moving sand quest because she builds the bridge well and stuck the velcro well and her team won thanks to her.
Anyway, it was nice to watch, and I got to learn about sports I had never heard before.
Honestly, in this season I found Hira frustrating and I literally wanted to shake him to understand that Kiyoi actually loves him back. Like are they in a relationship or not? It's like a servant serving a king.
Again, they are weird, but strangely complement each other and cute together. Like they fit like a glove to each other in a weird way. Like they are both obsessed with each other, which is why their relationship works.
The acting and chemistry of the actors are really good, that's probably why I love them together <3 Or maybe I'm weird as well ;P
Anyway, at the end of this season 2 we see Hira moving slowly forward and wants to reach Kiyoi so we can say that Hira wants to get closer to Kiyoi.
The story was so beautiful and artistic. At first, I thought it was nothing special, but I was totally wrong. I really got mesmerised by the story and by Hira's and Kiyoi's relationship and chemistry.
Honestly, Hira's and Kiyoi's relationship was kind of weird at first, but it got interesting. We got to see both of their perspectives of how they felt about each other.
Like they liked each other so much that they both did not know what to do exactly and awkwardly fumbled around each other. It was weird, so cute and adorable <3
Then, when they finally understood each other and communicated properly that they both love each other, it was like fireworks sparked in the sky and my breath of relief came out. I was really tense, and I hoped it would be a happy ending and my wish came true! <3
I actually liked it a lot! The story was interesting. Also, since it was a game, adding effects during fighting scenes, adding name tags, and listing the characters abilities made it feel more like a game which I really liked.
For the ending, it feels like open ended, and it could continue and it looked like the game was starting to upload again. If they continue it, I would like to see Cheng Da Lei and Su Ying together.
The story wasn't perfect, like it too draggy at times, but I enjoyed it on the whole :)
Sam and Mon were cute and adorable together. I did enjoy them together but at the same time, I did not like them that much together. I'm contradicting myself, right?
At first, I thought that they do not have that much of chemistry together. But they do have chemistry and do go out of their way to show it. Which is why I get why they put them together.
I think the problem is more of the actress playing Mon. I do not like her acting at all. She feels fake and awkward. At first you would not notice, especially since her character is nice, kind, etc. However, as the story got along you realize that she is the problem. Like her crying scenes were hopeless and her face expressions were fake and sometimes it did not match.
On the other hand, the actress playing Sam is good. Her expressions her good and on point. And this is considering Sam's character was the least likeable. But when she has her poker face on and is actually dying inside, her hidden smiles towards Mon, her bluntness, being shy, etc. She really is a good actress.
I do like this drama overall though. It's not the best I have ever watched. But considering this is the one of the first full-length Asian GL drama made, this is already a huge step and a good drama compared to when BL dramas started in the first place.
I love that they are taking more steps to show more LGBTIQ+ representatives and not just show BL or gay dramas. Don't get me wrong, I love BL dramas. But we need to see more.
Like I look forward to the day when they put real transgenders as main characters especially in Asian dramas. They are always supporting characters and even when they are main characters, they are played by actors who aren't real transgenders. At least according to my knowledge and what I know so far. Maybe there are dramas like that I haven't discovered.
I can't even find it raw hahaha....I don't think it is something someone will add eng sub to unless it become…
It's a shame, I hope someone subs it. I rarely see Gypsy as the female lead, as she is usually in the supporting role or the second female lead and I wanted to watch it.
