Great! Counterattack was botched, Addicted banned, Advance Bravely ruined, and now Stay With Me is plainly cancelled... Speak of a surprise, I shouldn't have been surprised! Thanks for the update. At least now I know there's no point in waiting for the sequel..👀
Turned out not as good as some claims it to be. The storyline was rather unoriginal, the acting not the best performances I've seen in Taiwanese dramas and the fights scenes were definitely not convincing. Added to it, the side story was pointless.
Actually the kid is a good actor since I have seen him act since he was very young and he portrays his characters…
It would be hypocritical of me to complain about the age gap, I've got no issues with age difference in relationships, but the time frame of Addicted (the novel) spans more than eight years. If the chosen actor can portray the young Thai version of Bai Luo Yin as a high-schooler, I'm not sure he's up to the "eight years later" part. Gu Hai and Bai Luo Yin in the original work are the same age, Yinzi is a few days older than Gu Hai even... the actors have to be the same age (or look the same age) to interpret the characters perfectly. The producer's choice means only one thing: the story will probably be changed, which is sad. It was banned in China, so I was hoping for a faithful foreign adaptation, hence my skepticism.
I like coming back to read the comments and reviews on these overrated, groundless storylines. Too much drama around this series and yet it was obvious from day one that it would be a disaster. Happy return to reality, guys!
With all the reboots being done lately, I hope this one will be remade outside of China.. or even in China, as long as it'll have a genuine development and acceptable ending. It's still my biggest disappointment. One of my favorite novels ruined on screen..
Sounds promising. Psychiatry and tragedy are two fields that tickle my interest, blended together I can only approve. I hope the acting will be on point. With Chai Ji Dan as a screenwriter, I have no doubt that the storyline will be well written.
Why? Just why? The plot was promising on paper but the script is horribly written. I'm dropping it on the second episode. I know it's gonna be a mess, another BL milking the audience for air and I have no intention of watching a copy of a copy of a million of copies.
When I started watching it, I was like "Why does it only have a 6.5/10 rating?". It was promising, the visual effects and the acting were far better than some crappy series with 8/10 (or more) general ratings.. but then I watched the episode 7 and everything made sense. All in all, it was tremendous potential partially exploited. And the tragedy didn't strike me as it should, I'm rather unimpressed. Too bad!
Now this was my biggest disappointment of the past few months regarding Thai series. I expected a lot more from the TV adaptation of my favorite Thai BL novel but it doesn't come close to its quality. It's rather below average. I'll just go back to read the novel again, it's a better time investment.
Well, that was a quickie. Dropped it on episode 4. The script was déjà-vu, boring, cliched and everything but suspenseful. Good for first-timers, teens, but it's nothing to write home about for me...
Who is ngern?were these two casted in any drama as a couple?
You're right, I don't say the opposite. What I meant is.. if the kid was casted to play the second lead it's probably because the crew plans to make a soft and cheesy adaptation.. and that would mean disappointment. Because no director would be unreasonable enough to choose a teen to play in "mature" scenes.. I just think it foreshadows that we'll get another 2gether 1.0 and I don't have a good memory of it.
Anyway, these were just assumptions, we're all here for the same reason and we don't know how it will turn out. I hope I'm wrong, and I'd be happy to be wrong, this is all! :)
