Is my eyes deceiving me, or is that 9.2 rating real? Is everyone seeing the same thing?Of course I am happy if…
MDL's rating is often quite strange, with Thai productions underrated and certain others overrated. But if one series deserves this rating, it is Bad Buddy!
Just finished episode 3. Very appreciative that they have English subs for international viewers. Main criticism…
You name one of the major problems of Ranz Gonzales' scriptwriting, but isn't the bunch of attractive - and some of them also talented - actors Direk Ranz has gathered worth watching them slowly get to the point?
This series has so many flaws that it is hard to watch. But there are 3 reasons to endure the pain: 1. Axl Romeo's talent and looks, 2. Jerald Portugal's beautiful OST-song, and 3. The dedication of the Bright A 3 crew around writers/directors/producers Arn Palencia, Grey Ramos and Allen Lino. As episodes are short, I'll endure the pain.
I laughed at that too. And him offering the rooster as a possible subject for Phap to draw 😂
That's exactly what I thought. It's funny that scenes with animals are the highlights of the series - just think of the legendary flight of the cockroach.
I can usually see what people like in a series if if I don't like it myself. But this is so overwhelmingly awful…
I feel a deep sympathy for the actors when I see how a badly scripted, badly directed series can damage the reputation of good actors like Gameplay, Best and Folk. I also do not buy Covid as an excuse for this mess. Even if it is true that Gameplay had to do part of the editing himself due to infections in the crew, as he said, the damage was done long before that.
Ranz Gonzales's series have gathered a surprising amount of views at youtube, more than 4.5 million, which is a huge success for a small production company with limited budgets. ”He's mine” once again is gathering views in the hundreds of thousands. This is not, however, due to his writing and directing, which are both weak, but to the popularity of his lead actors Clark (and his beautiful songs!), Ivo, Robert and, most prominently, Mark Allen Caguioa.
I find it the more painful to watch Allen's overacting in ”He's mine.” I have liked him a lot for his looks and talent since I saw him in ODPI for the first time, but unfortunately his skills as an actor haven't improved since then. I believe Direk Ranz owes him either to hire a proper acting coach, or to finance him an undisturbed week's workshop in a remote place with guys like LJ Russell or Axl Romeo who could help him act appropriately to situations and the character of his roles.
I do appreciate the dedication Ranz Gonzales and all of his crew and cast put into their productions, but it is high time for them to move to another level after the national and international success of ODPI and PKKT.
Sorry for the rant, but I had to get this off my chest.
I've always loved Yacht, and for me he was the star of "7 Project". He is brilliant in this series, too. I hope he'll get more screentime when they start shooting the BL-series with Yoon.
That's why I have become skeptical about sequels: they often disappoint. It was a slow start. I mean, they've been living together for a long time, and they act the same way as a year ago? Rocky drops his towel, and Judah looks away in shock and shyness. Honestly... I can only hope the next episodes will show a little more development and passion.
There is one element that hasn't been mentioned in most comments, but which is another reason why part 4 of episode 5 gathered 1.5 million views within only two days, and why I think it is the best ever seen in a BL-series. Besides Nanon and Ohm's (and let's not forget Jimmy!) acting, the good script, the directing, and the cinematography, the soundtrack is extremely well done, very sensitive, mirroring action and feelings. It is an important contribution to the perfection of this episode.
