Ok just wanted to ask if it's bad then bed friends and if the subs are ok and how is the chemistry between the…
I'm currently watching both so I'll just state my opinion.
You can't compare the two really, this has action and crime side "more like Manner of death or KinnPorsche in term of genre" while Bed friend is more light and fluffy, so depending on your preference you may like either.
acting is quite the same, not terrible but not that good either, just watchable "I personally prefer this one to bed friend"
Subs are not that good in both of them but you would understand what's going on perfectly.
Chemistry part is tricky because the romantic part is just in the flashbacks with Ken and Din, while the - supposedly - current couple are Ken and Talu and up till ep7 they have yet to get together or show any type of romance.
I just hope "something" happens in the next ep, because ep7 was just a filler, I also don't know why they keep pressing Uea like that, with 3 ep left I think it's about time some of his trauma/problems get solved ~~
Not a fan of "bullying" or falling in love with your bully trope but I gave this a try because I was curious after reading some good reviews about it ~~ It was sweet, it has some flaws and I still wasn't a huge fan of the romantic aspect of it, if it can be called that, but the only thing that was so weird was ep6, like the two years forward were completely unnecessary, jumping two years and end up at the same exact moment in the whole relationship was odd! And I didn't like it. Other than that it was light, short and if you don't mind harmless bullying- can't believe I'm actually saying "harmless bullying" 😂🤣- You're gonna like it ~~~
In every episode: Ken has to get strangled. Talu has to drink tea. Ken has to cry alone remembering Din. Ken and Talu have to meet by chance on the street.
But somehow I found myself liking this more than I expected, the story is slightly ambiguous, heavens! 6ep out of 10 and nothing happened beside chasing and mourning. Still I think i like it, I wish I waited for it to be fully released as it deserves to be binge watched to decrease the questions raised around it! But I don't find it as confusing as some people think, i think the series takes itself too seriously ~
That was good and fun to watch, I hated the SFL -like any other 00s kdrama- she was so hateful 😂 I liked the trio in the lead, the chemistry was great and the end was fun.
It's simply a mess, if everything is gonna be forgiven and forgotten then why bother making a whole 17ep drama about it! There is no "revenge" here. No fake marriage because they married and BOOM! Romantic scenes with incomprehensible timing for kisses~~ I think the idea had potential but the story somehow was all over the place! And nothing was prominent enough to save it~
Watching this is like travelling back in time to early 2000s, I know this was in 2010 but it has a strong korean 00s dramas vibes where a very simple story with love triangle is too stretched and completely predictable, also there has to be a very hateful -and evil- side character and by the end everything is solved like this *snap fingers* so you see how bad it is to watch it in 2023 for the first time 😂😂
But anyway, I have a soft spot for Taiwanese dramas in general and this one was just ok and beside the negatives I stated above, I just hated all the side characters!! Even had my bad moments with the two leads sometimes but I like Jerry Yan, can't help it 🤷 just watching him was entertaining enough for me. The weakest thing was the story and that's probably the reason all the characters were very hateful 😂 it was a rollercoaster, not the enjoyable type, but the one ending up Van Gogh-ing your heart out in a paper bag type.
I genuinely liked the first few episodes with the kids but alas it went downhill after that.
Is it good!? Not really, not bad but not good either. Did I like it!? Weirdly enough, yeah 😂 as I said I like JY Do I recommend it?? If it's your first time, not really unless you are a sucker for old kdramas type of dramas and ok with the negatives I talked about.
For that reason I rather not to bing series because I’m getting bored easily. In my opinion it’s a good show…
Thanks, I also get bored easily 😂 and I like to binge watch but I don't have free time lately so I wasn't planning on binge watching it anyway. Maybe I'll try an EP or two and see, but is it boring or just slow paced!?
Because 20ep seems too many for me even if the story looks interesting I think it'll have many fillers or boring episodes so I wonder if it's worth giving it a shot!?
Which part? Pretending to be a pig eating a tiger? LOL
Was mostly kidding -because I understood the plot from your comment below - but many thanks for explaining that part, I didn't know about that idiom ~ ☺️
The actress who he cheated with hasn't been in the media since the scandal while he is still working, so it's…
Why does what apply only on him and not her!? Also although I don't really disagree with you, I can't see that as an excuse enough because that will damage the image of the companies that allowed him to be in a drama of their production he was able to get work because his agency helped him. the termination of his contract wasn't due to his scandal as far as I know, but was because of his behaviour after... Which shows no remorse, none whatsoever!! He kept misbehaving and making troubles, I believe if it wasn't for his bad personality, his agency would keep on getting him offers as if nothing happened. On the other hand that didn't happen to Erika and she was considered a losing game.
Weeeeellllll!! Didn't like it.... At all lol I expected to like it TBH but it's really difficult for me to like a series where I absolutely detest one of the leads !!! And the other's character though not as hateful but as annoying maybe lol
The idea was good and I've seen another drama -was Thai I believe - and I like the concept but here I could not follow what was going on, every ep had something that pulls us away from the track set in the previous ep, also I didn't like Ritsu at all, even the end of the whole planet can't help with that, and the whole backstory of how he actually liked Masumi wasn't convincing to me, I could understand the reason Masumi staying because of Yuma, but the duality of him refusing to go back to his abusive mother yet agree to stay with the guy who gave him sex trauma seems a bit contradictory.
That been said the ending was slightly like the other drama where they tried to have slightly open end for the audience was clever and nice 👍 but that's probably the only thing I liked here!! Not trying to be harsh on the series, the sex scenes were hot and acting was on point, but maybe I fell victim for high expectations!!
Best part for me are the cinematic shots and that's it. The editing is choppy, there's absolute no direction to…
Haven't seen the drama yet but I read the book, and I can confidently tell you that Jade was the stupidest, most clueless and innocent character ever written in a book!! So no matter how he is presented here I promise it wouldn't be as bad as the book, or at least not worse as he is a complete idiot there😂
PS:not hating on the character or anything, just stating that with such source material it'd be too hard for any Actor to show anything besides a dumb persona because that's literally how he is written~~ 😂🤣
Plot was all over the place really and it came out so weird! There were too many stories told here, like the two MLs story, the ML with the roommate, the 2Side characters, and finally one of the leads family story, all those were told with or without details which made it confusing to watch. There is no character development or background told here, you just have what you got, I'll try not to judge too much because it was made over a decade ago -that is not an excuse TBH I've seen very good movies made even before this one- But I have to say, though I'm huge fan of Japanese BLs, i would not recommend this one ~€
I was kinda going through some old Japanese BL that I watched long time ago and I can't believe I missed this! Actually it was so good, now after over 15 years the plot is too predictable of course, but still the movie was so enjoyable. It deserves to be called a great movie and to be recommended when you watch it after 15 years and still enjoy it!
