Never seen so many people complain about the actors looking young.
Where were you when Revenge Love became such a big hit? I back then complained about the actors being too thin, too young looking, having childlike bodies (especially Zi Yu), and I got so much hate and was called names.
Crazy.
Those two look to me like they are in their early 20s. Especially their bodies are fine which is rare in Chinese drama where being skinny is everything.
Great to see more people enjoy this. Never seen an action BL series where the action plot seems important and believable (despite the low budget). Normally, it seems like the action was just added to make it more edgy and exciting. Here it flows well with the romance and the flirting. Despite some cliches and over the top scenes everything feels so serious. Chemistry is insane, and both are great actors. I really like the overall atmosphere. The people who work on this are talented.
The only show I look forward to at the moment ... This screams low budget in my ears, but with good acting, some creative camerawork and even some decent AI animation they manage to make this very captivating. The actors are the biggest selling point. Very intense.
This series tried so hard to look smart, but it's not. It was painfully slow and frustrating. The end was disappointing. I don't know what kind of message/idea/emotion this series was supposed to evoke in my heart or mind. So pointless. The focus on the damn mermaid play was also supposed to be so artistic and sophisticated when the actress didn't have a good English at all. The quotes were cheesy. It really screamed "This is artistic and smart and intellectual and deep and sad" - but it didn't move me at all.
You must not have been in your right mind because it's impossible not to get attached to all the characters. Try…
I remember their chemistry was great. But the characters were hard to grasp. The one was an idol, but didn't really look or behave like it. He didn't have the aura to pull it off. The other was just mysterious, hard to understand what's going on in his mind, a bit too obedient, while at the same time almost pushy. They behaved like they knew it other from the past. I remember I even thought that was the case, because their interactions were so causal. Still, I will give it another try. I think I made it to episode 5 or 6.
GMMTV so don't care about this series. Now, almost 3 weeks after the series ended, they released the last BTS. Who is gonna watch it? Not to mention that in the intro is written Behide the Scenes and not BehiNd the Scenes. Such a terrible typo. How much work can it be to change that intro. Two minutes? They don't even want to do that. They don't care.
"The problem is that when everyone becomes reasonable and supportive, the story loses the source of its central conflict." Exactly. That's why I dropped the series. They deliberately played it safe and tried to produce an award-winning series with beautiful visuals and good actors, but in doing so, they completely lost their way and forgot what the story was even about. This series wasn't meant to tell a deeply moving story, but rather to satisfy a specific audience. I remember how people got philosophical when Fourth acted out the masturbation scene. That tells you that they know their audience well. Just controversial and edgy enough to make some young girls feel itchy, but not raw and depressing enough to risk the alienation of said audience.
I didn't comment on this series until now, because the main idea and the richness of the story is great (abusive family, bullying at school, girl got lost in the sewer and befriends with homeless guy, people look for her, police officers work on serial killer case). But after every episode I'm angry. The filming is great, I especially love the colors, the casting is also great, the actors have a lot of personality and do their roles well. It's nice to look at those people, those settings. It's very calming, but I'm not calm, because those characters are painfully frustrating. Form the cheap cliffhanger when we were supposed to think Vincent will rape Su Lin to today's episode where Mr. Gu almost found her but then the women has a medical emergency - they are dragging this out as if they want to frustrate the viewer on purpose. I have never seen such a slow series, where characters talk to each other without saying anything. There are so many dialogues, so many shots on faces, so many scenes that don't add much to the story or are repetitive. Especially the scenes with the parents in the first couple episodes had very repetitive dialogue and reactions. We are going around in circles, moving at the speed of a snail, baby step by baby step, then we are supposed to think Vincent is the killer again. How Su Lin reacts to those suspicions is also, well, interesting to say the least. Those characters are slow in their head or just out of their mind. I don't know. They are just standing, talking, wondering, crying, worrying, for god's sake just move forward, like when Mr. Gu and the girl were in the sewer, the girl fell, Mr. Gu fell too, we were supposed to think they were injured or trapped, but then they weren't. All those cheap and misleading cliffhangers are annoying. Just move forward with the damn story. I'm watching this on a pirate site. I would never pay to watch this. I feel offended because the writer is just playing with the viewers and makes us wait for something to happen, which never really will. You could tell this story in less than half the time they used until now.
I miss characters with real chemistry. Those two actors are gorgeous, but there is no chemistry between them, because the story doesn't allow it. The badass mafia bodyguard is reduced to a little boy, so innocent, not violent, in love with only one woman, who gets flustered by a mere lip touch. Who watches this? People who have nothing better to do, who want to just shut off their brain after a tiring day. It has no value, not even entertainment value, since everything is so generic and unimportant. Forgettable. But I guess that's what you get nowadays. A safe and cute series for all the girlies out there who dream of their prince charming, the cool mafia guy who is like a little puppy. I almost feel offended by all this nonsense. He gets called a thug and almost cries. Give me a break. People who are 30+ behave like this? Maybe the new Gen Z is like this for real. I'm bored to death by all this stupidity. I will now go rewatch D.P. where he had more chemistry with his crazy co-star. That was a series worth watching. Not this one.
LOL I saw the poster, didn't know anything about this, just clicked on it, turns out girl has amnesia and the scruffy boxer guy is lying to her. But look, the scruffy boxer guy is some superhero mafia bodyguard badass who saves her. So no cute village romance for me. And the badass from Beyond Evil and Squid Game is also here and playing his usual villain self. I'm not mad at them. My guy from D.P. can pull this off. Love to see him again in some action scenes.
I expressed my opinion. Doesn't matter if I watch it or not. GMMTV could be more creative though.
Now, I'm gonna watch it.
