That’s definitely not a film for the mass. I’m not surprised it was picked up for festivals, but doesn’t appeal to the general audience, and the majority of the audience here in particular.
Compared to what I thought before watching it, because of all the negative comments here, it was surprisingly good and quite interesting. I like it a lot. The characters are interesting (badass Ha Su Yeong, fickle Jung Yun Seon, stupid Shin Dong Ho and pathetic Andy), they are all actually kind of losers in their own ways. The acting is perfect and the story development worked really good for me. I wasn’t bored a single minute and wanted to know how things will go and end through all the movie. The ending, from the temple scene, is good.
I recommend this movie to people who are not looking for action but still like movies with some "detective" or "character in quest for something" kind of story, with a psychological side to it too.
I think that the only thing to really blame about "Revolver" is the way the movie was promoted, it gave the wrong impression about its genre and story, that and also with the star stud cast. Many people who are not the audience for this kind of movie watched it and thus didn’t liked it, which is no surprise for me.
It also confirmed me that I am really not in phase with most of people using this website. ^^
it based on novel and it's perfectly doesn't need more ep.
Well, we can disagree on that, but I think it's too early to be so affirmative. I will reserved my judgement after watching it. I didn't write that it won't be good, just that I don't like the 8 episodes format for TV series.
I was really dissapointed with how they developed the story... seriously bad writing. And the 4th prince is a…
Yes, I really don't understand the screenwriter choices on this one. Of course, it's a fictional adaptation of historical events and characters from which we have little sources, but still, he could have done an amazing job but it's like he decided to choose the worst option possible every time.
Looking for a comprehensive review that acknowledges the entire show and is about more than just the debate over…
Well donne on your review. It's really well written, everything explained clearly and it is exactly what I think too. A big waste of a great story, amazing actors, and high budget.
King Sansang portrayal is awful (even disrespectful for me), King Gogukcheon and Queen Woo portrayals do not do them justice neither I think, and overall the screenwriter did such a bad job adapting this great story, creating really unnecessary characters (the queen's older sister) or scenes. It's too cliché or stereotypical. The budget is well used for the production though (exception for the CGIs that I think are of bad quality considering the level of production).
The problem isn't with the n*de scenes , it is very normal and good to have a scene like this , but the screenwriting…
I totally agree. That screenwriter did such a bad job with the characters and story development, it ruined the great potential of the plot and characters. They had a great story, amazing actors, a good budget but the writing isn't to the level it deserved I think.
This sageuk is such a disappointment in the end. I expected a masterpiece, considering the great plot and actors, but unfortunately it's really not good because of the bad historical adaptation the screenwriter created. He did such a poor job. Well, to be honest, if someone doesn't know anything about the real historical events and characters, it can be a great one.
As someone who like historical sources to be respected and followed as much as possible, even for fictionnal adapatation, this one doesn't work at all.They took too much liberties. But the most annoying part would be the Queen's older sister character, that is probably the most unnecessary one created, and the way they decided to portray the historical characters is very disappointing too. They really did not do justice to King Gogukcheon and Queen Woo, or to King Sansang (actually the worst portrayal, really disrespectful), with this cliché adaptation and very stereotypical characters. It's like the screenwriter wrote the characters after listing all the bad clichés possible he could find.
The actors are not to blame though, because they were excellent in their portrayals, but I think the screenwriter really messed up big time the characters and story developments. That's really unfortunate because the overall production is good, with amazing costumes, set-ups and sceneries, great actions scenes too. I had so much expectations for the first sageuk of Chang Wook after ten years...
This story has all the elements to be a masterpiece, but its development isn't the best. Taichi is made way too dense, which became annoying and frustrating for me to watch at some point. And thus the whole story loses its initial appeal and potential. For sure Kohei might seem like the one not letting Taichi the chance to express himself, but truthfully, he could have realised and speak up so many times that in the end, Taichi is the root of all the miscommunication and all the time "lost" between the two characters for me. The actors in this adaptation are good, but the characters developments aren't the best unfortunately, for both Kohei and Taichi. It could have been much better, even if they changed things compared to the original story.
Where is the evidence for your comment? Why would they change the script for some bot account comments in a site…
Can you quote a single time where I wrote that "non-fans", as you wrote, were the same people ? I never did. Before accusing someone of something, get your facts right. And I never insulted anyone too. The sentence you quoted isn't an insult. And to put things straight, the first person who insulted someone in this comment section was Nahlabee4 for calling people perverts, which is an insult, because they don't have the same tastes and opinions of this person. So Nahlabee4 is the primary source of insult here, nobody else. I invite you to check the comments section. Unlike you I read people comments before writing something, I don't make assumptions just because they don't think like me. The first comment I wrote after watching the show was that I found the sex scenes unnecessary, even if I don't care about it, so I never defended it, but I don't like people insulting others just because they have a different opinion. Especially when these people, like Nahlabee4, keep commenting the same over and over like some crazy obsessed people. Good for you if you're happy thinking I'm the "bad" guy here. Me I never insulted someone here because they have a different opinion. I mocked them, sure, because I think they are stupids. It's not an insult. And if it is for you, I can't do anything about it, we don't have the same standards or culture.
Where is the evidence for your comment? Why would they change the script for some bot account comments in a site…
Oh but you had the time for Nahlabee4's one. You see, you can't exchange with people who don't agree with you and always avoid the debate when someone contradict you with facts. If that is being mature for you, I'm happy to not be on the same level. So stop quoting me and my account name to write nonsense and I will happily ignore you too.
Where is the evidence for your comment? Why would they change the script for some bot account comments in a site…
No, I only have one account, sorry to disappoint you. We are more than one person thinking all these comments repeatedly insulting others and whining about the same thing are annoying. I'm all for expressing diverse opinions, but when it's the same comments over and over everyday, degrading the exchanges here, insulting others for not thinking like you and just wanting to spread hatred it's not okay anymore. The writing style is definitely not the same too between the three of us so, please, make a little use of your brain before commenting nonsense. If you want to be smart, just analyse my comments. Me, unlike Nahlabee4 or others, I never write to someone that their opinions is wrong or that they can't think this or that way, I'm commenting against people like Nahlabee4 because they insult others, in particular calling them perverts, just because of their different tastes and opinions, and because they keep spamming. Once again, we understood they, you, don't like the show, so what's the point to come here almost everyday to write the same thing over and over ? You are free to do so, but we are also free to keep replying that is dumb and stupid. Trying to be sarcastic, mean for no reason or avoid others questions just show that Nahlabee4 or others are incapable of a mature debate or exchange and have the intellectual level of some middle schooler (and not the bright ones).
unfortunately i comment as a displeased audience member 😕 this drama didn't reach my expectations. my fav drama…
That's actually not the case (the part where you think they had to shorten it many times), because it was supposed to be a movie originally, so much more shorter than the actual format.
I have a feeling that editors of this show went back to the drawing to make changes after we complained about…
Yes, sure, you are absolutely right, keep flooding us with all your amazing knowledge and wisdom. You are the only person that knows the right from the wrong, the good from the bad. We need more of your enlightenment.
The reason people escaped from western perverted films and drama to kdramas or cdramas was because there weren’t…
And one more comment ! Seriously you have a big problem. Nobody told you you can't express your opinion so stop playing the card of a supposed victim of others here. You keep writing the same comments, over and over, and criticising people who like the drama calling them perverts. We understood the first time that you don't like it because of the sex scenes, there is no point commenting again and again the same thing and insulting people who don't have the same tastes and understandings of this TV series as you. It's normal for others to be bother and annoyed by your behaviour. As for your so call ultimate reason for people "escaping", that may be true for some people, like you, but not for all the people, stop taking your case for a general truth. Many people enjoy TV series from all over the world with all their diversities. You really are one big crazy person to be obsessed to the point of commenting here everyday.
