I am a non Teume, but I loved this show. Like there wasn't much of story or message, but I still enjoyed it. And guess, I can watch more episodes with all of them just being silly.
I am recent fan of OnlyOneOf. Sorry to say, but the actors weren't much good at acting...I have seen many kpop artists on-screen with amazing acting. The story was rushed and scattered here and there. I didn't understand the motives of Hyunbin towards Jihoon. And I really don't get how Eden fell in love with Jihoon when he felt so repulsed by two men being together. The only thing I liked was the manager of Lion Heart. P.S: Mill looks like a lost sibling of Thai actor Net Siraphob in some camera angles, just my opinion!
is kim shin immortal yet again? So is there no way for him to die? he will basically See eun tak die thrice and…
Yeah, I guess Kim Shin is immortal now. He won't die at all. Eun Tak might have not blown the candle for nine years...she is not exactly the 'birthday celebration' type. Also, she made a wish while blowing the candle - she said she wants to know what had happened and why she is forgetful about her memories. Since, Kim Shin was the source of her losing memories, he turned up.
No matter how many I times I watch Goblin, I end up bawling my eyes out. The heartbreak is real..this show just wrenches your heart. Goblin was a show that made kdramas popular worldwide and it is a legendary drama - even after centuries Goblin will remain in all our hearts. And damn, every OST in this show just hits you differently.
Now that I have watched insane amount of times, I feel like the ending should be an open sorta cliffhanger one. Like Goblin stays around giving miracles to all living beings while hoping that his bride will once again meet him. So, we viewers can just hope he met her someday.
I would have loved to see the backstories of Shirube - who Shirube wants to protect and why he has become so indifferent? And Seigi, because he is so handsome. And then Yuuki - how he ended up in debt and why he gave up on his life? Btw, the actor Yuyu kinda looks like Ryota - his acting was so good.
This is my first Death Game tagged drama(yeah, I haven't yet watched the popular Squid Games till now). I enjoyed the show...though my head was spinning about all the math that was involved. Yet it was a thrilling show and I loved the characters. Zero and Shirube were the intelligent folks, one very compassionate and another, ambitious. But, Shirube was way more intelligent than Zero - considering that he was just a schoolboy. Out of Zero's friends, I only liked Hiroshi - because unlike other two, he never wavered and was loyal to Zero till the end. Seigi and Yuuki became my favorite when the end was nearing - I really wanted the backstories of Seigi, Yuuki and Shirube.
I actually did not get, what exactly did Zero do to that Mitsuru guy? Did he take a picture of his gilfriend and…
No, Zero had no interest over that girl. It so happened that Mitusuru submitted his gf's photo which Zero had taken, thinking that he was the one who took that photo. He won the award, but Zero and the gf didn't disclose the truth to him. A company approaches him to publish his photos as a photobook after his success. So, Mitsuru sells his pension house and decides to do photography full time. But, suddenly the company cancels the photobook since none of the photos were as good as the one that won the award. He figures out the truth and blames Zero and his gf for everything. He and his gf accidentally fall down a cliff after he storms out of the house. The gf loses her memories and Mitsuru loses his legs. He escapes before Zero could help him out of the cliff and everyone thought he had died. In the end, Mitsuru and his gf get back together after tells her what had happened, though the gf doesn't recall her past memories. They both work in a studio.
Tbh, I was skeptical about this show. I was wondering whether this show was over-hyped. After many years of BL watching, I have grown numb I guess. I no longer know how to choose a good show to watch. I was in the verge of avoiding this show because of the plot. For me, the plot was a mixture of Kiseki: Dear To Me(the gangsta part) and History 4(brothers not related by blood falling in love). But, decided to give it a go. And what a masterpiece I would have missed!
Chris is such a good actor. I don't know but his face gives a mysterious and sorrowful aura and guess that was an advantage for him in this series. Chris and Kurt had amazing chemistry. And all actors were good, I was even appreciating the handsome features of Le and Xiong. And there was Sam Lin...he was just gorgeous and his screen-time with Le was like five minutes and I WAS INSANELY SHIPPING THEM.
I love Wei Qian. He is so selfless. He even wished to save his abusing mother. He took care of his siblings so well. And he could have just ignored Yuan, but even at a young age, when he was in a position where he was struggling to make ends meet, he was such a compassionate person. I have not read the novel, but Yuan's guts led him to a family and love. Yuan is so lucky. And who would be okay with three boxing matches that might possibly kill you to save an adopted kid? I am just impressed by Wei Qian. And even when he was ill, he worked his ass off and throughout the show he was like "I am okay" when he was not. Such a brave character.
Yuan was a hopeless romantic and his eyes and his actions all showed how he cared for Qian. He had such beautiful lines like 'I can summarize my whole life in two words, Wei Qian'. He was like a glue that held up the family together. The suffering of loving his brother and trying to suppress those emotions, I bawled my eyes out.
Though there are many favorite scenes(including that particular "Aren't we moving too fast?" scene), the scene that made me fall in love with this series is: A sleepy Qian babbling about the various places where Yuan can study further in abroad while Yuan was widely looking at his brother, wishing to stay with him forever like this. And on top of that, each episode name about the family - that was just chef's kiss! Also the scene where a pregnant Lili kneels down and all the three men immediately lift her up...she is everyone's princess..such a lucky girl!
Overall, its a pretty good show. I will re-watch again for sure.
I am about to watch it for the bromance but i read some comments that one of the ML is married to the FL. Nah…
But the bromance is pretty strong. The ML gets married in last episode only. You get a cheek kiss between the male leads(also in last episode) and there is even a scene where the male leads kinda have a romantic dinner with music and all and one male lead gives a watch as a gift to another one. Watch this FMV to get a gist of how their relationship would look like: https://youtu.be/b6K5h-SYTiI?si=AsutrkmlHOYQP_wv
This is actually a series for an ad of Attitude Clinic. But, I think the show was good compared to the ones coming from reputed production companies who fail to deliver a good show. There wasn't much BL in it, but I liked it. It would have been nice if they delved more into the mystery of the mirror and why Tang lost his reflection.
Ok, where do I even start? First of all, I am not a big fan of Hu Yitian but this show made me one. I never thought Hu Yitian could play a funny, goofy, materialistic and gluttonous guy. But, Lu Yao's character was definitely made for him. I have never seen any of the works from the other two leads, but Leon Zhang was amazing. He has a gorgeous smile and the bromance between him and Hu Yitian was so excellent. In fact, I never really shipped Lu Yao with the female lead although Lu Yao ended up getting married to Youning. Tbh, Lu Yao had more chemistry with Land Lady than with Youning. For me, Youning and Lu Yao seemed more like siblings and less like a couple...though I loved the love confession during gunning and the marriage proposal.
This is the first time I am seeing a detective in a C-Drama who accurately replicates Holmes. Lu Yao might be too much of a materialistic and a foodie guy, but his observational skills are on point. He is very knowledgeable and it pains me that his family ignored his talent and tried to control his life. I have become a great fan of Lu Yao. It was so fascinating to see him solve the cases. Also, I like how he keeps his material cravings to a certain limit - he only goes for the rich and helps the poor.
Like everybody else, I hated Youning initially. She was annoying, she fabricated the news to sell the paper, she beat Lu Yao frequently and meddled with the cases. But, gradually she became less annoying. There are times when her instincts are precise - she accused Tong Li and the butler of the lightening case because they were mean to her and turns out they were the real culprits. She tried to get Lu Yao out of the venue before Zou Jing died in the explosion. And let's be honest, she had all the information in her fingertips and she was well-connected with people, so she was an integral part of solving the cases.
Chuseng was a gangster before he became a police officer. He was all about fists. In almost all cases, Lu Yao was the mastermind in solving the cases. Without Lu Yao, he couldn't do anything. He was also a playboy, but for some reason, I liked this playboy. He genuinely loved and cared for both Youning and Lu Yao. I would have loved to see more of Chuseng's past life as a gangster. As a BL fangirl, I'll just pretend that Lu Yao and Chuseng ended up together.
There were so much handsome men in this series. Especially, I loved Adou, Salim and the coroner. The actor playing Salim is an Indian and I was so happy to see him on a C-Drama. And I loved the 1920's vibe of the show...it must have taken too much efforts for the setup for each case. The cases were interesting and some of them even made me emotional. I love the fact how they linked all the cases to the final big boss.
Ohm should do different roles instead of sticking with that cold, indifferent, anti-social character. Guide, Poom and Atom made the series less boring. Shin was self-centered and hot-headed. It was always Peach apologizing to Shin, whether its his fault or not. Guy was the bad guy but I would have picked up Guy rather than go around a man who doesn't give a shit about me. Shin doesn't care about Peach's dream. Guy was a red flag guy but then at least he gave all his attention to Peach and he accepted the rejection and tried to bring Peach and Shin together. Also, Poom was too hot and handsome to be disliked. Overall: 6/10.
