Great movie! I will need to watch a second time at least, but that is true of all the best films, especially this kind of corporate/computer intrigue stuff.
Son Suk Ku is as good an actor as he is good-looking, and every inch the leading man. Kim Dong Hwi and Hong Kyung are excellent as well. Nice to see both of them growing their career. Hong Kyung initially impressed me in the drama Weak Hero Class 1. I found his character off-putting, but after seeing him in two more shows, it was clear he was off-putting because that's how he chose and was directed to play the character. He is a talented actor.
It isn't surprising since it was in the official trailer of the show. The only question was how Tian got the scar…
That was my thought too when I saw the end of 11. However, the setup and execution of the scene was done so well, I hated to be my usual, picky self about it. But you're right, a cig just bouncing on and then off again wouldn't leave a scar. It might not even leave a burn.
But adding or changing a character into someone capable of holding a lit cigarette to the skin of a small child would require a hell of a background story change...and now that we've got all of ONE episode to resolve all this shit, that's not gonna happen.
Wang is handsome, but I find him to be a boring, one-note actor. He has three facial expressions, all centered…
I get it, you're a Wang/Lu Dong Qin fan. I didn't realize he is supposedly 16 in this show. I thought he was 18 and that I can believe, but 16? No. Which is precisely the problem with his acting. He is TRYING to look and act like he imagines a 16-year-old does and it's not working. Contrary to your words, 16 is NOT a "baby," yet "baby" is a good description of the faces he makes.
A better actor would let us see him BEING 16, not ACTING like he thinks 16-year-old babies act instead.
I find Benjamin entirely convincing as a high schooler; LDQ not so much. What I don't get is why the director felt he couldn't use younger actors. There are 18-year-olds who can act very well.
Perhaps you should take OFF your "I love Lu Dong Qin" glasses so you can see what's really on the screen.
My god it's been so long since I found a BL this interesting. So sorry Jiang Tian but can I have Sheng Wang for…
Wang is handsome, but I find him to be a boring, one-note actor. He has three facial expressions, all centered on the mouth: frowny-mouth (lips downward), pouty-mouth (bottom lip protudes), and innocent-mouth (both lips pulled inward, no lip showing).
I find Tian to be a far superior actor to Wang. But yeah, he's pretty to look at.
Soooooooooooooooooooooooo much filler... The show-makers should have cut filler and made eight drama-packed, fascinating, briskly-paced episodes instead of 12. I like this show in general, but there are long stretches of slow f**king nothingness.
If Wang's wallet is so important to him, why did he look for it for all of two seconds, and then head for the showers? Answer: So that Benjamin could play out the 74th scene showing Tian going out of his way to be Wang's Knight in Shining Armor. Yes we know: TIAN CARES ABOUT WANG & WILL TAKE CARE OF HIM ALWAYS. We get it. We've seen this 73 times before. How did said wallet get from Wang's pocket while playing badminton on the court into the bottom of a trash can on the side of the court? All of this type of thing could have been fixed with some more time in the writers' room or better yet, cut altogether.
Love all the students using the presence of an alleged "ghost" to indulge their gay and Lesbian desires to sleep together. :) Anyone else shipping Tian Yang and his bunkmate? (I can't figure out from the cast list which character that is.) As dumb as this story has gotten, I still like watching Benjamin-as-Tian doing his observing/silent hero schtick. Little Pepper is a doll. And a good actor.
Lord, the whole locked-in-the-gym-with-no-phone-signal thing...give me a break. lol Since the Thai script-writing team took over, there have been loads of absurd plot cliches like this. How did the gay teachers know where to look and how did they open the padlock the evil brainiac student had used to lock Tian and Wang in the gym?
Also, I love when BL people say things like "I will go find them!" when they have absolutely no idea where to search. Also loved how the teachers dumped the grill and left all the food laying out in their haste to play white knight to the great mystery of "Tian and Wang are missing!" Surely by now one of the students would simply say "Guys, we all know they've been hot for each other for months. They are somewhere making out. No need to panic."
Holy shit. That final scene is one of the best-written/acted/directed, most intense scenes I've seen in a BL. My goodness. The cigarette thing was brilliant. Major angst.
hahahaha..."MASTERPIECE." One of the fangirls finally said it out loud. I've been wondering which one of you would…
"Your comment stinks of narcissism and entitlement." How original and on-trend with the current hot terms. What is it you think I'm "entitled" to, my opinion? Oh, you're right, and so are you. I never said you weren't but you're insecure about your opinion and are lashing out. Not my problem.
"Because you didn't like it..." As I've said, I freaking loved this show until it went to crap in 7-8.
Your comment stinks of lameness. I have a right to say whatever I want here, just like anyone else, so will continue doing so.
Your insistence on using the term "masterpiece" to refer to a BL with two badly-written episodes and a rushed ending highlights your low standards and stubbornness, nothing more.

This will have some absurd cliffhanger.
lol Oh look, another MDLer throwing around the word "masterpiece" like it's the word "the." What a surprise! :)

Really lame if it ends on a cliffhanger, with no guarantee of a S2.

What is implausible about how Tian got the scar? Too quick?

Tian's dad is mega-hot.
TCMDOC is a great flick. It almost, but not quite, made my top 30 list.
