I saw beachboys. I was wondering why he looked so familiar. I was shocked. I have never gotten so much from a stalkers guide before. I had no idea there was another actor that was as versatile and compelling in sheer charisma as Saito takumi. Takenouchi Yutaka can match him step for step and has a fabulous look even while maturing. amazing guy. I will def watch several of his shows!!
Thank you for opening my eyes to this gem of an actor.
Part one and two of this trilogy are actually so powerful. I am not one to watch much of the older shows, but OH MY STARS am I glad I did. cinematography just as fresh as tho it were filmed yesterday. I imagine this was pretty cutting edge when it first aired because it is super close to just normal filming for now.
The charisma of Chow is a force. I had no idea. He def grabbed me as a fan.
the movies are labeled as comedy but the drama and the feels are like stronger than so many dramas I have seen.
For the best monkey-king makeup too. I mean, chow actually looked super attractive in his make up for the monkey-king, stronger and more masculine than he looked normally. that to my mind is a feat worthy of epic fandom!!!! So far out of all the different stories about the monkey king that I have seen, he is most perfectly handsome in this one.
The ending was so poignant. I cried and laughed and cried and sighed.. *sigh* it just really was a movie that offered a place to go and be lost for a while in a lovely romantic place.
I have to say I fell for him from the variety show room mate (season one). he did really well there to show his silly side as well as being very vulnerable and endearing. I feel like most of his big breaks came from his exposure on that show. IMP that's what word comes to mind... he is such a little imp. cute, can be sexy, can be playful and innocent and devilish too. the li'l imp!!
Seriously good movie. This is the fastest paced movie I think i have ever seen,. it crammed like 6 dramas worth of information into its very short run time of 90 minutes.
I have NO clue how they managed to impart SO much chemistry. All the character pieces came together so naturally. Edited and filmed.. nail on the head!!!!!
honestly yang yang's xiao nai seemed like a robot compared to jing boran's. i would've like the…
I was also undersold on the female lead in the drama because she looked anorexic, and unhealthy but I am not a fan of angela baby. ( I watched too darn many episoded s of Hurry up Brother, darn it). I am a fan of both Yang Yang and Jing borans'. But I think I like Yang Yang best of all. His no nonsense approach to his woman getting was awesome, fun, innocent and adorable. super perfect for the fantasy that this drama represented :)
So I just loved the movie AND the drama and ignored ALL the leading ladies to my hearts content :) YAY
I'm at episode 5 right now, and I just don't like Yang Yang's role. Why do girls think he's…
I am sorry you did not give it a try. It's a nice slice of life with a couple of new ideas that I suspect more dramas will pick up on in the future. one being the settling of differences via a sports match versus a fist fight, and ad placement YAY no more commercials.
I found this drama funny sweet and cheerful as can be. A fulfilling love story. It honestly reminded me of what I had REALLY wanted the Live action adaptation of My Love Story to be.
There seems to have been an inordinate amount of crime dramas in 2016, and a bumper crop of BL and historical fantasy ( not based or loosely based in fact) from Japan and China.
I have also noticed that the best trend for me of 2016 is the video and sound quality seems to be reaching for higher levels. OSt, voices, and filmography seem to be reaching for new heights, especially in China, Thailand and Taiwan. It seems as though mainly the BL and fantasy dramas may just be on the rise.
Hong Kong seems to be in its' own production world, its' pool of actors seems to be aging regardless of the genre and actors best suited to roles.
One other trend I have noticed in almost every single country in Asia is the new ad placement type of drama. I actually feel this could be a major precursor to the new take on commercials since so many people are viewing things via the internet as opposed to traditional television cable outlets. It seems the advertisers are kind of being shut out of their old way, reminiscent of newspaper ads giving way to television ads, now that is giving way to plain old product placement, like a full circle back to skit ads versus a series of 30- 45 second blurbs interrupting a show. Not only does this circumvent the old commercials it brings products to a global audience ( whether planned or not) and increases the ability of fans to support their chosen stars.
now as the last hold out, I wish China would stop dubbing their shows.
The only other trend not really taked about is that women in Asia seem to be glorified as single working women or wife / mothers, in both cases they are still dubbing them or writing them ( in Korean and Japanese dramas) using that baby-talk non aggressive voice of a three year old. Women don't have to be macho, they just need to be grown up women :)
watching raw, its really really good, as good as wallace huo in love me if you dare cinematically. it is def a grown up show. Zhang Ruo Yun is delightfully quirky :)
The main female character is so dull. =___=. Had a really tough time getting through this drama. The plot was…
I agree. but i did not even look at her honestly because I was all about the Zhang Vin story as well. but you know what? I found a lot of good writing in this drama. some people stay with today, some stay stuck in the past, all kids finally grow up. very nice slice of life story here.
I have not seen the parent story, and I came to this drama because I was doing my usual thing of following an actor I like (Zhang Vin) thru all his pieces. It is absolutely perfect for those days when you just want to be tied up in knots from one sided love with possibilities. That bitter sweet sadness, the fleeting moments of stolen butterflies in the tummy. One sided love can be so rewarding in a drama. not so much in real life tho!!!
It is a cold rainy day and this drama goes perfect with hot chocolate and a blanket :) thanks Zhang Vin
