I enjoyed The Victims’ Game from start to finish. It is a very good premise and, at times almost like a BBC production - some amazing photography reminiscent of Shetland and others. The last couple of eps were definitely 9/10
So interested in starting this drama but looks like a lot of 3rd party causing issues based on trailers...can…
The FL and ML do have a strong relationship, even if they are not close initially. ML trusts FL, so much of the conniving ends up falling flat and FL wins the day. This is the first drama I have binged watched in some time - I am enjoying it that much :-)
So, I am six episodes in. The verdict: this is the best Chinese historical drama I have watched since Minglan. This show is very accessible. It has its own style, flows extremely well and is easy to watch. Show is like that box of chocolates (or sweets) where you keep eating nonstop one piece after another without thinking :)
In some ways, for those who are old enough to remember, Sisyphus reminds of the James Garner film 36 Hours. PSH continues to be awesome and JSW is starting to shine in his more “cerebral” moments. Bring on next week !
4 episodes down and I am enjoying Times very much. Some parts of ep 4 didn’t quite gel, but that’s okay. The boat scene was quite gripping. I just wonder when we will have the big reveal about who is trustworthy? The acting - very, very good :-)
this drama looks promising iwant to watch it so badly but the only problem is the huge age different between them…
I have just finished watching ep 13. I think you should have a look and see what you think. Uee is outstanding and so is the girl who plays her daughter.
Show pokes fun at itself - check Elements taken from classic time line / alternate reality sci-fi shows - check Larger than life story - check Awesome depiction of a post apocalyptic world - check Quantum physics that actually touches on the latest developments - check Mythbusters solutions re tight situations - check Great leads (and support cast) - check Suspect second couple who are great together and who are confused re who they should be loyal too - check Very good acting - check Great OTP with some classic tropes done well - check Interesting missing brother trope - check Incompetent bad guys - check Very good action scenes - check Good chase scenes re drones and classic car going down the steps - check Good quirky elements - check Interesting, weaving narrative - check
The downside? The tone shifted in ep 3 and part of ep 4. Then it came back with a vengeance. Is there too much green screen? Not for me.
The bottom line: this show is, full on entertainment.
I enjoyed Voice overall. The change in drama style worked well. I did, perhaps, enjoy the second leads’ story more. The ending was satisfactory and “fitting” for the story :-)
