In what countries is Netflix streaming it? I don't see it in the US lineup. And YouKu is screwing up its YouTube subscribers by only posting reduced versions.
The movie is not so bad as the rating suggests. It is a very condensed version if we compare with the drama and some parts vary. However, it's good enough for a quick pause between the much longer dramas.
Good drama, very entertaining and easy to watch. It has the usual cliches, but the soundrack makes it pleasant to the ears and easy to enjoy. The acting is good enough, with some very good and others leaving to desire. Therefore, it's a drama I recommend to watch to help pass the time.
Funny and lighthearted series to watch without taking seriously. Acting and production were good and followed the usual stereotypes with the FL going overboard on being noisy. Nevertheless, I guess this is a style that seems to be popular among certain audience. So, if we watch it with a loose mind and not minding some weird stuff, it brings good laughs. Like I said, worth watching if not expecting seriousness and just want to pass the time.
Thanks for this great article. The Double is one of the few series I scored 10 here on MDL. The production was meticulous and the crew, from screenwriter, director to actors and the support teams were outstanding. I also re-watched the competition scene multiple times, not only for the music but also the special effects and CGI on both performances. This drama is indeed a masterpiece and I'll definitely watch it again in the future.
This drama had a great potential but ended up a train wreck. The screenwriter, director and several actors need…
This goes under the spoiler, for obvious reasons. The screenwriter had to figure out how to get the main FL get with the main ML after he killed her mother. So, what he did? The "actual" story was that the eunuch gave the wrong orders to kill them. So, only after so much time they both found that out? Even after the city walls crowded with soldiers, who all witnessed the eunuch giving the false orders, no one reported that? Give me a break. It gets better, after the main ML died in a quicksand pit, he showed up in the end safe and sound so that the story could have a happy ending.
This drama had a great potential but ended up a train wreck. The screenwriter, director and several actors need to go back to school. Stopped on the 8th episode and only browsed the following ones to see where that disaster was going. It wasn't a cheap production, so it deserved much better. The two MLs getting in and out of the palace, let alone harem, as they pleased was quite amusing. As if the screenwriter wasn't happy enough with it, even the 2nd FL also decided to do it, frontally challenging one of the main concubines, who became some passive bitch allowing everything. The main FL's behavior varied from self-centered smart to dead brain. Probably had some bipolar syndrome. The king was a cuckold and the two main concubines got visits from the two MLs all the time, some even in front of him. The kingdom deserved extinction.
Another variation of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Has some good special effects but direction and acting are all over the place. Too many cliches and similar scenes taken from M&MS made it very predictable.
It's my third times watching this drama. Added Romance on the Farm to my comfort list. Can we have season 2 please?
A season 2 would be great. They left a cliffhanger for that. However, I did not understand the ending. She went back as if the game had ended - she dropped the last taels in the box. However, she later joined the game again with the last taels still outside. So, someone else dropped them in the box, or somehow she pulled them out in order to return? That got me confused but it can be a cliffhanger for a S2.
Great series. Very good production, direction, screenplay, acting and soundtrack. It has very humorous moments well balanced with romance and others that brought rage. Really good and worth watching.
