Please, do not ever pair Pond and Earth ever again. They have zero chemistry and Earth has an acting range of A to A-. He plays the same whiny, naive, tries to be too cute and demure character in every series. The guy is like 27 and we all know he's been in some serious relationships in real life so put some long pants on him and give him a job already and stop with the boring school series that go nowhere week after boring week. This is week 5 already and no other couples are developing. Pond deserves so much better.
A lot of this episode was a snooze fest. That whole gaming scene was a waste of time where that time could have been given to developing Tattoo and Aran's relationship. I cannot believe anyone's dad would approve of an engagement to that nut job. Rose is an idiot if she ever liked that guy. They need to stick to the human drama of the show, that is where it excels and stop with the idiotic four horseman stuff. Grandma on the the other hand is always worth watching. She is a joy!
This series was different and exceeded my expectations. I loved it! Ignore all the bad reviews and try it for yourself. That is what I did and I am glad I watched it.
Pond and Earth are definitely mis-cast as partners. I don't think they have much magic (chemistry) going on between…
I agree with what you are saying, but I do not think Earth is a very good actor. He was okay in Until We Meet Again, but in all other series he not a good enough actor to make me believe anyone would love the character he plays because he is always so whiny and his facial expressions are super annoying. Maybe if he actually got to play a grown-ass man his acting would improve, but for now I am not a fan. From here on out, I will fast forward all his scenes.
Also we can start a drinking game every time he introduces himself as Easter, but I go by Ter. He even does that after someone already introduced him as Ter. Ugh, sooooo annoying!!!
Pond is not enough to keep this series afloat. Earth is totally miscast as a male lead for Pond, there is zero chemistry and their flashback story could of been told in one episode and not dragged out for the last 4. Earth is too old to be playing the innocent high school/college guy and his facial expressions are super annoying. I will give it one more episode and hopefully they will start incorporating other couples, because the Earth/Pond ship is not working (in my opinion).
I am enjoying this series for what it is and I am disregarding the plot holes and the fight scenes that should put someone in the hospital for more than a few hours. I swear I want the name of that miracle cream they are putting on those bruises and broken bones so I can invest in that stock, but all kidding aside, I actually like this series a lot. It's different and the acting (Ohm never disappoints) is good, as is the chemistry between the leads.
I try not to say anything too mean about an actor, but what happened to Earth's cute face? He looks like he had work done, where no work was needed and it is distracting to look at him now, like his lips are weird and the area around his eyes looks droopy. I cannot put my finger on it, but something looks very off on his face and it is hard to pay attention to what his character is saying (or rather whining about) because of it. I am not enjoying the show when the camera is centered on him. Let's move on to other couples because Pond deserves a better pairing than with Earth. I also really like Samantha, but her character is even more over the top than usual. This show is getting worse and worse with each episode. The sound effects and music is much too exaggerated as well.
I really liked this series, but the character of Mew was miscast and honestly, I could not figure out why Top or Ray liked him. The character was judgmental, frigid, smug and hypocritical. I could not feel any chemistry between Force and Book or between Book and Khaotung . I am unsure why Book became a leading man, his acting is not very good and he does not give off any sexual vibes at all. The rest of the cast was great as were the story lines and the music was awesome!
I just finished re-watching this show and it is really good from start to finish even the second time around. It is different from all the BL's out there. I might some day read the book that this is based off of, but for me, this series stands on its own. and maybe by not reading the book, I enjoyed it for what it was. I gave it 10/10.
There are moments I really like in this series, but there are also moments that I find super boring especially watching someone get beat up over and over again and not wind up in the hospital, but here let me dab a little ointment on your wounds and you will heal by the next day. That ointment is gold! hahaha Also, even though Tattoo is an assh*le I am curious if the Aran/Tattoo story line will develop more because I am feeling a little something-something between them. It's episode 5 lets get the couple story lines moving along already.
The first episode was not very good and Earth is not great or convincing as the main lead in this series. Pond on the other hand is worth watching and giving this show another chance, but I am just not sure Pond alone can save this series from all the whiny characters and those annoying sound effects and bad background music.
I agree 100%. It is the very reason why I refuse to watch HIStory MODC.... There is just no way I'm going to watch…
I agree with miri kai and you should watch Make Our Days Count, but only up until episode 9 and live in happy denial bliss!!! The series is really good!!
I liked this series a lot and I am glad for the ending. I know it was a bit of a cop out, but for me I will take a happy ending over a depressing, heartbreaking ending any day.I do not watch series/movies to be heartbroken/depressed nor am I the person who has to re-watch a sad scene because I just did not get depressed enough or cried enough, I get enough of that in real life. I say bring on the happy endings, I will take them every time!!!
Your comments are right on point! This is why I had to stop watching after ep 4. The cast is doing an awesome…
I am sorry about your friend and for you not knowing what happened to her must still haunt you from time to time. This series is very good and the acting is of a high caliber. Like you I do not see a happy ending. Like in "Make Our Days Count" the title pretty much said it all. I fear the title in this one "Happy of the End" might mean that someone does die and they are finally at peace and happy. I am hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. Thanks for your comment, it touched my heart.
Honestly this looks like another ridiculous and superficial BL, very common from Studio wabi Sabi, just trying…
Truthfully, I was hoping for a better partner than Earth (I do not find him lead man material) for Pond. I am with you on not expecting much from this BL. It looks like the same old, same old college plot of one sided love meets years later in college and the other couple "Is there another way I can pay this debt?" Looks straight out of We Are. Like you, I will watch this, but it will most likely play in the background while I do other things. I have very low expectations on this series.
Also we can start a drinking game every time he introduces himself as Easter, but I go by Ter. He even does that after someone already introduced him as Ter. Ugh, sooooo annoying!!!
