I think I will go reread Silent Reading sigh, they really cut cut cut everything sigh. If they massacre Sha Po…
There is a good fan translation of the first part of the novel, very sensitively done, but dropped when Eng trans rights were purchased..then new rights holders have done NOTHING. MTL translation of the rest is out there..totally souless..a forshadowing of the dud literature about to be dumped upon us by the machine
Im reading the novel now and rewatching those precious 8 episodes... When something is edited in video..somehow I still feel like I saw it happen..like when Pei Su blows a kiss..but in vid its a finger flick, somehow I think I saw that kiss Waiting so eagerly for next episodes, the plot is so multilayered and so many of the characters are interesting and well developed..its not just focused on the main leads.. Great story..censorship is a fact of life..so many forces are trying to throttle down on the human spirit, I dread our future and want to celebrate the little bits we still have
Dakaichi is NOT a pc story...also, its been around forever, so all of perfectly appropriate pc comments have been made... So stop watching or enjoy the great characters
Since this drama is clearly another of the Sherlock, Holmes, Moriarty versions I dont see how reworking a classic alteady reworked by many can be called plagerism. Also, how can people complain about a cliffhanger since the original story ends in a cliffhanger. Anyway, I really enjoyed all of the characters and settings. Appreciated FL's athleticism..quite cool.
Impressed by his ability to present a totally different character ..Loved his authenticity in Go Ahead..and Justice Steven is another complex guy..yes Good way
Of course, so happy to see these actors again, BUT WHERE IS THE VISUAL INTIMACY AND ARTISTIC EXCITEMENT OF SERIES ONE? The camerawork never enjoys looking at a face or gesture. The scenes are shot in a fuzzy middle ground which removes all of the energy. Whenever there is a big moment the camera just "points" at it..and for too long, as if the viewer might miss it. Script has the same dumbed down quality..no more fun.. Was it written by AI. I'm so heartbroken..loved series One so much . What happened to that talented crew????
New owner so attractive ...Kim Dae Soo..maybe his role name. Sadly, don't think he will have much to do in this just a few cute guys story. If they used his vibe there is potential for mysterious fun plot
Is it really being released?

Comparing Steven's Go Ahead acting
A shock
