I am confused, is he the same Hiroto from boy's planet and Chuang 2021 or a different person because their bio…
At first I thought they were the same person, but then I read their bios and they are definitely two different people... it's quite funny the coincidence though haha
Good lord I'm happy to finally find someone who's still sane. I watched this drama for the incredible high ratings, but the more I saw of it, the more I realised it was a "KinnPorsche situation". I literally only ended this bc I wanted to see if Mike and Jim were going to be together (happy I was right). Anyway thank you for your review!
I do have a little question. At the end of the EP 4 (I believe), they show that Dome returns home to Tonkla in…
I believe that from the beginning the scenes between Tonkla and Win were set in the "original" timeline. If you think about it, it's impossible that Great knew about the two of them, so it makes no sense that he was "dreaming" of them into the 4 Minutes timeline. As you said, the fact that they show Dome returning home and then immediately after Tonkla who "hears" his brother is a way to point out to us watchers that something is wrong. It's the first time that they hint that there are different timelines. So in conclusion, in the "original" timeline Dome was killed (bc Great didn't help him) and Tonkla then killed Title to avenge him (and also shot Great, who entered the 4 Minutes timeline). In the 4 Minutes timeline there has never been a murder bc Dome is alive and Tonkla never crossed Title or Great's path. Hope this makes sanse.
It may be their motto? My life motto originates from Korean, so I am using it in Korean. The mafia in which Kinn…
Yeah it could be, but as I say it doesn't make sense in Italian, it's not even a complete phrase. Maybe means "Mafia the strong" bc the word mafia in Italian is a female word, but I really don't know, we have to wait for the drama lol
of course they're going to romanticize mafia, this is not a documentary, if you can't separate fiction from reality…
I completely agree with you. I actually don't know how they're gonna put all ships together in one drama, but probably VegasPete it's going to be the most traumatizing for new fans lol but if is just them who are romanticised I think no one is gonna have problem lol
of course they're going to romanticize mafia, this is not a documentary, if you can't separate fiction from reality…
I'm sorry, I really didn't want to be rude, and as I said I read and liked the novel, bc I know that they actually don't romanticize mafia. In the novel we can read at least a little how actually horrible can be mafia's system. Romanticize actually doesn't mean putting romance in a mafia's story, but making mafia romantic. Like, make it seems a good thing. I just wanted to say that if the story is going to be changed like that I prefer don't watch it, but only IF, and it's really a far possibility I think.
It's just a few words and sentences in Italian :/ is that really enough for you to decide not to watch the series?…
I'm not saying that I'm not going to watch it, of course I will, I waited for so long lol I just want to say that the story is already great but if they want to add something more they need to be aware that mafia's stories are really difficult to treat and people could be really offended, bc are sensible about this theme. I just want to say that if they want to add something about other countries' (not only Italy) mafia, they need to be aware of how they do it, bc not everyone may like it. As I said, I'm going to watch it, I just wanted to point out something that maybe not many people talk about. (lol at first I was just asking why they added "La forte", dunno how ended like this, sorry)
I didn't really understand why they added "La forte" to the title. I mean, in Italian it means literally "The strong" but for only female things and people, and actually "La forte" doesn't make sense. Also, the start of the trailer made me really angry: I was there when the first trailer come out and I read the novel too, and in none of them there were connections to Italian mafia (bc yes, Kinn says "Chi mente merita di morire" literally translated in "Who lies deserves to die"). I know the story and I really love it, but if they're going to change it ONLY for romanticize (italian and non) mafia, then I'm not going to watch this.
