Good acting, good ideas, bad execution. The movie felt like they either planned a series and cut down whatever they filmed into a movie or the movie had a lot of scenes removed because it may have been too long because it felt like a lot was missing. What I hope happened because WTF!?
Overall it's a good story. It could easily be remade and whoever remakes it needs to make sure all the questions…
What happened to the monk? The beach scene with the monk and Din, were they eventually lovers? How in the world did Din end up married, like was it to appease father an society? Did Fai end up staying single and helping out Din/Saitarn's father? Did the bar close or stay open? Did Tonmai accept that he is in love with Tonlew and he works out his attraction?
Overall it's a good story. It could easily be remade and whoever remakes it needs to make sure all the questions are answered because the end felt like we were still missing story.
It's interesting that they made Queen Woo adept at fighting but it seems like the Woo Family is like some of the Northern Clans that are the "warriors" of the Northern Border that is often used for some Northern Clans in series (CN and KR).
We can't pretend like there isn't a long list long list of regular women, Queens and Princesses that have been adept at self-defense as well as fighting/warriors in history.
Examples: Ahhotep I an Egyptian queen who rallied troops against invaders, Tomyris was Massagetae queen who beheaded Cyrus the Great, Yuenü Chinese warrior who was hired by king to train his warriors, Fu Hao Chinese general who led up to 13,000 people in battle, defeated the Shang after many many battles, Arachidamia was Spartan queen that led women in siege of Lacedaemon, Boudica killed 80,000 Romans and burnt London to the ground, Yekaterina II led a coup in Russia to become empress, Lyudmila Pavlichenko Soviet sniper killed over 300 Nazi fascist invaders and the list goes on.
I know it is probably historically inaccurate (this series has taken ALOT of liberties to entertain) LOL I know this isn't Haolan and Big D Lao Ai LOL Buttttttttt am I the only one getting vibes/heat from Eul Pa So and Queen Woo? Maybe I'm just thirsty Eul Pa So LOL
the choreography for the fighting scenes is actually insane - the actress looks sooooo agile, smooth and fluid…
I was like OMG! They aren't even using wires and harnesses like I didn't even see mats on the ground for those falls. It looked like everyone was getting hurt. Maybe it was a different time when they filmed this but it was amazing how the fights went. I wish we could see the original uncut version (they had to make cuts to scenes because they didn't have the rights to show Zen performing copyrighted Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, etc exact copy/hommage fight moves as well as interlaced scenes where they would show for example Bruce Lee performing moves then Zen would do them or they would blend their image then boom she does the move). I totally agree, they really needed to fine tune the plot and story and this would be a 10/10 because the fights alone and knowing this wasn't some cut quick fights that only show arms or legs or fights sped up or super darkly lit like they do with Hollywood and other movies where you know the actors have doubles and aren't fully fighting like here. We were left with a lot of questions. I was also a bit confused with the crime boss's ladyboys (kathoey) assassins, like I know girlies need jobs but I wasn't sure if they were there for comedy and sass or if they served a purpose for the boss.
There are tags about "age gap" in the drama and in the real life. This refers to the leads?? The romance is between…
It's not an egregious gap. On screen I believe the age gap is about 10 years, I don't remember if they mention how much in the series. IRL i think their gap is about 7 years. I'm going by the ages of Xiao Yu (22/23), Xiao Bei and Dan Ding are supposed to be about the same ages. Wen Zhe is 32/33 year old (there was a scene where Xiao Yu and him have a convo where he talks about having a 15 year friendship with his ex that he met at 17. I'm assuming that Lin Rui is also as old as Wen Zhe. I think they talk about Lin Rui working at SW and also being age of Xiao Yu (10 years ago ). So that's why I came to conclusion of 32/33. Anyone can correct me LOL
Just finished this. I have to say I liked the drama but hated the character of Zhang Xiao Yu.(Wu Jin Yan) Brash,…
Her character is a 22/23 year old. I wouldn't call her stupid, brattiness can come with some of us and our youth, I think the scriptwriter went in circles with the story and characters (feels like those web novel writers that fill the pages of words just to have a word count to make you pay/filler stuff to have the series be 40+ episodes) kind of played around with her being super smart but also her thinking she was too smart. Like there was that background check in EP 9 where Miss Girl was this amazing super talented FL (Sanda Champion LOL!!! ) and smart girlie and she could be fluent in English in a few weeks LOL I believe XiaoBei and Dan Ding were also in the same ages . Wen Zhe (Peter Ho) and Lin Rui are supposed to be like 32/33.
Sadly this isn't on Viki but who knows maybe later on like they did with Shinsengumi. But legally without official/unofficial subs (you can try chrome's AI voice text sub) and using VPN set to Japan, some shows can be viewed on TVer.
These neighbors are shite (for now, we shall see if they are retconned to fit the plot, writer forgets how they wrote them come the last episodes (looking at you Miss Night and Day writers) or change their attitude, seems like all of them know each other since Mi Rae was in school) and why is auntie Jeong In (301) not coming to bat for her sister-friend Ae Yeon and her fam, was she out of the loop with the accusations against them and landlord.
Can writer/production please let YooRi be a single career woman or sapphic career woman because this "romance" isn't romancing. It feels very forced. IDK YooRi and EunHo are more like besties 💅🏻/siblings than potential romance partners also they are work colleagues like can we keep it professional in the office?
Oh i thought it was threesome from the poster then i saw the country.
From the trailer I was fully expecting all three to be a couple, a throuple. Which would work internationally but I don't think it would pass NRTA censorship unless it was like she dated one then they broke up and dated the other then became friends etc. Or even friends that cross boundaries but because NRTA they would maybe hint at things or not. I got all that from the trailer and the poster LOL
