Yeah. In manga, Shougo/Thee at least admitted to have a brother complex and it went way better imo. I didn't understand…
Yes!!
Thee's relationship with Jet would be way more interesting if they've shown Jet as more strict and cold (on the outside), while Thee's like a puppy (eager to please).
I loved the manga and the anime both, so I was looking forward to this, but I heard absolutely nothing about it…
I don't think it's bad.
You will often hear it's a better adaptation than the japanese one, which I don't really agree with, to be frank. Japanese drama was a movie, so they had way less time to develop the story. And even in that little time, they've done a better job at characterization than this version imo.
We're now 7 episodes in and if I haven't read the manga nor watched anime, I would have no idea how the characters feel or why they act cerfain ways. The show just does a bad job of developing the main characters. Compared to the manga, quite a few things have changed. Some for the better, some for worse. Some things feel like taken from the manga, twisted and put in different place in the show. That's really frustrating for me, but people unfamiliar with the original work obviously don't have that problems.
So to sum up:
positives - some questionable things from manga were toned down or ommited. Anda/Izumi seems to actually be a bit more mature/independent. Bank (new character that's not in manga).
negatives - pacing is off, big time. No characterization whatsoever. Visuals can be overdone at times.
Overall, I still plan to continue watching it and believe there's a value in the show. But I can't say whether I ultimately like it or not. I wouldn't expect much from it either way.
A bit of a shame the relationships haven't progressed more, but otherwise a nice feel-good show. Nothing really unique, nothing really deep, but pretty relatable and easy to watch.
Another korean drama that would benefit from being twice as long. Especially the ending felt rushed, but overall a nice experience. If you want something light to pass 2 hours, this is it 💙
Yeah. In manga, Shougo/Thee at least admitted to have a brother complex and it went way better imo. I didn't understand…
In manga, it was actually reversed. The only reasons why Thee/Shougo "didn't like" Ryo were centered around Anda/Izumi, while Ryo had other things he disliked Thee/Shougo for. Thee/Shougo himself was way more laidback character, unless it involved Anda/Izumi.
But my problem isn't that they changed it. It's because they don't show us why the characters feel/act the way they do. Combine that with the horrendous pacing and not only I'm super confused about what's happening, I don't really care about it either. We're 7 episodes in and I have seen little to no characterization for main cast.
Wow, this is really dull. If I weren't drooling over Thee all episode I don't think I could have sat through 45…
Yeah. In manga, Shougo/Thee at least admitted to have a brother complex and it went way better imo. I didn't understand why Thee's trying to convince us there's a deeper meaning behind his actions.
First half of episode 7 was pure fanservice, only thing missing would be a beach arc. Way too many freaking hints. And of course, booze. God forbid we get a meaningful scene where both male leads are sober, conscious, and just generally put together.
Second half had more development in it than the rest of Enchanté as a whole. We learn that everyone is indeed a bad person. Akk is the most relatable one, but making him an Enchanté would be such a boring and predictable thing it might turn me off of the drama. That said, it's not like the plot was otherwise a masterpiece, so I guess it's fine. The main leads must have been really repressed to burst out like that in the end. There is some action now, albeit meaningless.
Best scene was the one with plushies in Kirin's hideout. I really enjoy Kuea's dual personality, it's such a shame they already exposed him (though it seems like they will try to stretch that plot line a bit further).
Sin and Nuer are really fun to watch! I have no idea what Nuer wants with Kuea and why Sin acts so jealous(/protective) of Kuea, but it interests me. Also why is Nuer shamelessly flirting with Sin once Kuea is out of sight? I need answers!!
After today's episode, I feel like giving up on Yi and Diao. Not only there's nothing in terms of chemistry, setting and development. Yi's "explanation" just really irked me. And it's tiring when all the male leads feel the need to lie to their partners or hide things (even more so without any valid reasoning). Hope their plotline gets better.
The main couple just switched their positions for some reason. Now it's Lian who's hunting Kuea, but in a very weird way. Also no communication in their relationship. I don't want them to live happily ever after right from the start (since that would be boring), but this forceful plot isn't much better. It feels to me like someone tried really hard to create any conflict between them, regardless of how well it would flow. Or it's just me not getting it.
So to sum up. Sin and Nuer are great. Love the contrast between dark and light Kuea. Can't wrap my head around Kuea with Lian. Yi and Diao should probably break up, if they even are together.
I didn't have any expectations of FUTS, but I quite enjoyed it. It was sweet and the quality wasn't noticably horrendous imo. Enchante feels boring to me and overall just stuck in place.
I don't plan to watch CLW anytime soon, since I didn't like the main pairing in ATOTS. It might still pleasantly surprise us, but I'm not hanging on it.
Frankly, I think FUTS had better writing than this, ending excluded. There it was at least moving somewhere most of the time, not nearly as sluggish as Enchante 😐
Do you guys recommend this series? I've been thinking about whether to watch this or not. Or should I wait until…
It's fine if you don't compare it with the source manga. Silly and light, not complicated.
My main issue with it is that the drive for character development just isn't there imo. The main leads just act however the plot needs them to, without deeper reasoning behind it.
Thee's relationship with Jet would be way more interesting if they've shown Jet as more strict and cold (on the outside), while Thee's like a puppy (eager to please).

I hope Phat dies.

We came this far. Might as well finish it.

But as a mindless fluff, it's good.
Also I wouldn't mind one for Thee and Jet 😶
