I don't know what to say about this drama. It is parody level ridiculous but still manages to be a little bit adorable too. The leading lady and frienemy dress and laugh like bond villains. Don't expect the break-ups to make sense at all... they take the naivety of the leading lady and cliche misunderstandings to the next level.
i cudn't even last one episode on far away love, the voice dubbing was so bad and that was my first Chinese drama,…
It is unfair to compare it to Ten Miles Of Peach Blossoms. TMOPB was one of the best dramas I have ever watched from any country. I would never recommend Far Away Love as a first Chinese drama. The relationships in the drama are touching and sweet and I think the story is good. I really liked seeing PHJ in a more traditional leading male role. That in itself was worth the watch, to me. Yes it is dubbed. The dubbing was not terrible, but if that was your first time watching a drama like this, I can see why you would think so. I was put off, at first, because I also really like Park Hae Jin's voice, but after a couple of episodes I didn't notice it anymore.
It is fairly typical for this type of Chinese drama. It has a touching love story. I like it for Park Hae Jin, because it is the probably the most "normal guy" romantic lead role he has played. It also has the element of a family drama with the close knit female friendships and the 15 yr boy that is being raised by the "single mom".
Cheese in the trap is my fav for him. I can not say for Bad Guys or Doctor Stranger, because I have not watched them. I tried to watch Man to Man, but I just didn't like him in it and dropped in the first episode. Far Away Love is not mentioned. It is a slower moving Chinese drama, but I really enjoyed watching him in that.
Uee does a great job in her dramas. That's why they keep giving her lead roles. She is bankable. My favorite is…
Because they are crazy internet trolls. This is how they get attention. It is better ignore such posts. I happen to love Uee. The first drama I saw her in was Ho Goo's Love. I also liked her in High Society. I haven't started this drama yet. Even if I had watched the first 2 episodes, it is impossible to judge a character or drama, this early. It is pretty common, in kdrama romcoms, for the characters personalities to be exaggerated for the first few episodes. This is so the audience can see how circumstances, the influence of another person, or love has changed them, later in the drama.
I'm surprised so many people here are saying they won't watch it because it's tagged as tragedy. I mean, the drama…
You can watch it, and then let the rest know if it is not tragic. If you prefer happy endings, it is reasonable not to watch it, given the information available.. Not everyone has the same taste in dramas.
I disagree, that Yang Mi's acting is poor, in this. Her style of acting is the same. It may seem drastically lacking, just because we are all missing the dramatically charismatic presence of Chao Mark. The chemistry they had was off the charts. Sometimes, the planets align and something magic happens on screen. The writing, the acting, the directing, the producing were all on point, for Eternal Love. It really isn't fair to compare them. This is a different kind of drama all together. This is a different type of character, as well. Better to compare this performance to her performance in Les Interpetes.
I love the lead actor for his roles in Kiss Me and Full House. I love the lead actress for her role in Love O2O. Even though there are a lot of bad reviews, I still want to try it. Where can I find it?
Don't want to wait for it to be available to standard pass on Viki, Monday's ep is not up on Kissassian yet... anyone know any other sites it is available on?
the reason to watch With you is the lead actress. I love her. She is adorable and the whole first half of the drama was Adorable. I personally did not like the ending. They should have changed the tone of the drama throughout, so this ending would have seemed natural. For me, it felt like too dramatic a change in one of the characters. I would have, at least, appreciated a flash forward, if they insist on this kind of end.
The biggest complaint I hear about gender benders is that it is ridiculous that the other characters could not tell she was a girl. Do you think you could have pulled off fooling everyone around you about your true gender for a prolonged period of time? You say your voice is too high, but there are guys that have high voices too.
I wish they hadn't waited until the last 8 minutes of the drama to let you know that things would work out for our lead couple. I waited for spoilers before I could watch the last 2 episodes... and even still, I skipped episode 15 and went straight to the last episode because I knew I couldn't go through that roller coaster of emotions. I would love to watch Lee Jun Ho in something cheerful next time.
the guy, I am assuming is the second lead that is calling her Boss, keeps making me feel like I have seen this before. I looked and he is not in anything else... maybe he just reminds me of the second lead in With You.
I have about a 1/2 hour left in this movie. I wish I had watched it first. I can not accurately gauge if I would have liked it had I not seen the MUCH better drama adaptation of the story. Game play took up much of the screen time. Characters were condensed. The chemistry for the couple is off. The lead actress is much more believable as a video game playing tomboy type, but does not come off as modest. She also does not seem awestruck by the leading man. I really am only watching the rest of the movie, at this point to see if they develop the internet bar buddy's story and because I love Tan Song Yun(playing the Er Xi character).
I would never recommend Far Away Love as a first Chinese drama.
