I love it. I never expected that his historical movie would depict women empowerment and power display during Marcos dictatorship, but it pulled off these themes so well. I initially expected it would be funny because the title in Filipino ("Mga Kuwentong Barbero" or "Barber's Stories/Tales") is a metaphor for "stories that doesn't seem to be real," but in this movie, it portrayed the literal and metaphor meaning of the title. So witty! Also, Eugene is known for her comedy movies and series, so I expected this to be a light watch—but it turned out it wasn't, and it was much more than that! 9/10.
Are Lady Yulou and Wei Yan really main characters as well? They have little screen time, but are given main roles title here in MDL so I'm confused with its accuracy.
[EP18] Poor Man Man just got kicked out of the stargazing (veiled as divination) moment she originally planned to have with Wei Shao. He's so clueless lmao, he better regain himself and let the real stargazing with her happen soon. 😭
I don't get it. Why is June already shown way back when Dome just found out about the Midnight Museum, then later on, showing Dome and Khatha trying to stop the typewriter ghost which resulted to "June being born from a story" (as Khatha said in Ep4). I'm confused, as what happened in Ep1 was not a backstory. Is it a plothole?
I enjoyed it almost as much as I enjoyed the prequel, and some questions that were left unanswered in the first movie was answered here. It's just that, the prequel is quite better for me, this sequel quite fell short—except the acting and the creepiness ('cause it's still so eerie and I like it). I LOVE and HATE the things (storyline and characters) they added, it's a mix of amusement and disappointment at some point, but I won't go into details so as not to spoil. I'd give it the same ratings as the first part, 8/10.
I actually enjoyed this one, as someome who enjoys horror even if I easily got jumpscared almost all the time. The family aspect was heartwarming, which I'll consider the "light" of the entire movie (because everything was dark and gross but eerie and suspenseful). It's also predictable, but still a decent watch. I have questions left unanswered, but S2 made sense of some of it. 8/10
I just saw my comment 3 years ago in this page (thanks to the commenter), and just remembered that I was so excited for this because Yuan Bing Yan is supposed to be Liu Xue Yi's FL here. 🥲 Does anyone know the reason why they changed the cast? Did she turn down the role or something?
This was a little cringe for me, my teenage self would have loved this but now it seems a little too much at 22.…
'Cause it is indeed adapted from wattpad. The story was written like around 2016 if I'm not mistaken, they just improvised the script to be "less" cringe, per se. 🥲
still not used to the frustrating makjang plots of thai dramas, but hopefully this one won't disappoint. i've wanted to watch this since it aired, but some comments and other reviews are stopping me 🥲 but still wants to give it a chance for the main leads 🙏
Is this a famous novel? There are so many people waiting for this drama, 9k for a c-drama are usually those with well-known celebrities, but this one has rising stars which is quite surprising.
Su Ye is so unintentionally funny, like bro literally said "X-rays count as (good) shots, too" to reassure himself that he's good at taking pictures lmaooo. 😭
if you've seen heavy political stuff this drama is mild. the plot may be elaborate, but still mild. BUT the romance…
May be, I guess? Nonetheless, I love Ji Yong's political opinions (while he was talking to Dou Zhao) and strategies (with Lord Qing).
I would NEVER find any drama so open to political realities as Blossom (and other Chinese political dramas) in my country. I think it's why I appreciate it so much, 'cause everything was really entertaining for me - from romance, to action, to politics, to mystery, to thriller, Blossom is an emotional roller-coaster ride with no dull moments.
P.S. I'm not hating Hu Yi Xuan. Thank you.
