The scene sequence of Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan's confrontation until the presscon when Ruolai confronts Yu Zhiying at the end of ep 23 is so perfect *chef's kiss*

For War of Faith watchers, if you are interested with Wang Yibo's filmography, I recommend watching Hidden Blade movie first. The setting for Hidden Blade is the same with War of Faith, which is Republican era. Wang Yibo got Golden Rooster Award (China's Oscar) nominee for Best Supporting Actor also Asian Film Awards (AFA) nominee for Best Newcomer. Last year was his debut in silver screen as main lead, and his three movies has been released back to back in mainland and worldwide.

Usually Japanese dvds (released at least 6 months after the movie premiered) didnt came with subs, so you must wait until someone subbed it...

New teaser for Kingdom The Movie (30s version) :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41RJiHzBHLc&feature=youtu.be

Quote yours, " how they'll fit the battle-heavy narrative within a movie format"
Agree with that...Kingdom main characteristics are the battles itself, and mostly imo, all the generals war strategies.. Wondering how they'll portraying it in only err...1 or 2 hours??

The trailer looked promising, for first arc i think its still possible to make it into a good movie, and the battle scenes are not as gore as the other arcs ^^;;
If this movie success, and they plan to make another sequel, im not sure how they'll visualized all those bloody battle scenes (especially in Kan Ki's battles ^^; )

Yeap, the news about this live action and most of the casts already revealed here and there err... April this year (??), but at that time still no official announcement for the "real" live action, so i think ppl still consider its as a rumour. MDL put this thread after the official announcement on Oct 9th if im not wrong.

And....i really love the manga!!! Currently reading chapter 578 now XDD So agree with you, its sooo brilliant!! Not a fan of the anime tho... My favorite chara is Kyou Kai ♥ But this movie based on Sei Kyou Rebellion Arc right? So no Kyou Kai T_T (but Yo Tan Wa and Ou Ki will be in it, so im still happy lol)

At that time, i was wondering how much money they invested just to make that (very) short movie ^^;; they must went to china, the setting, those people, costumes, CG etc for the sake of err... 3 min trailer (??) ^^;;

Finally!! Been waiting for this since ages ^^;
Already hypnotized with Kingdom special movie on 2016, and here it is, the real movie!
The mangaka, the creator of Kingdom, Yasuhisa Hara Sensei, also involved in the screenplay.

Kingdom Special Movie (2016), a short movie to commemorate the 10th anniversary of manga Kingdom (Kento as Xin) :

About WotaKoi, honestly im not sure if i'll like that movie, bcoz again, its a shoujo rom movie and i thought he already graduate from that genre *sigh* and i dont want to see baby Kento smoke TT____TT).
Im more curious with Kingdom live action, wondering when'll they officially announce it, bcoz the casts for that amazing story already here and there since err April this year if im not wrong. Judging from the movie sp trailer from 2016, i bet it'll be mind blowing.

Cant wait to hear more of his projects on 2019 ♥♥♥

Honestly, i was one of those Kento haters before Rikuoh era lol. My reason was cliche, because he is everywhere (and yes, i already saw some of his shoujo movies at that time not a fan of them until now, except for Orange and One Week Friend).
But now, im soooo glad i gave DomeKiss and Rikuoh a try. I heard about DomeKiss hype on May 2018, and it made me curious bcoz the plot was so original and so interesting. But again, its Kento as main lead, so i was back away at that time. All thanks to Rikuoh who won Best Drama on 2017, that drama made me surrender to him completely.
At that time i just, WOW is it really that Yamaken as Daichi? So he can act like this? Without all his "kirakira" prince aura and usual tsundere attitude? And he looked so amazing in Daichi role?? I cant believe it (at that time lol). So...i gave DomeKiss a try after Rikuoh, and his Dojima Otaro really opened my eyes about his amazing acting ability. I really hope that in the future he'll choose more diverse and challenging roles (like Dojima Otaro and Shindo Minato). because he is that good, he only need good role to show off his amazing acting.
One thing that make me fall for him more, is his real personality and his good attitude. He is so polite, childish, cute but also very tennen and baka at the same time. Its like a 5 y.o boy on adult body lmao. He made me speechless everytime i see him on VS Arashi. I can understand now why his co-stars and directors/producers adored him.

(i just realized that my comments is way too long XDD im so sorry XD)

You're welcome :)

Yes, you're right...maybe bcoz both Code Blue and Good Doctor are from the same station, Fuji TV, thats why they use the same studio :D

By the way, Good Doctor did (almost) all the shoot on their studio, even the operation room is staged inside their studio, but they are using the real medical equipments (under medical team's supervision ofc).

You're welcome...

Usually Jdramas only have 10 episodes (except for Asadora and Taiga type dramas), bcoz Jdramas aired per season on basis, so next season (Autuum) there will be another new dramas to replace Summer dramas (in this case, Good Doctor).
