About the acting ...I always see people saying "needs improvement", "more acting classes", "better acting coach"…
Some people just are bad at something no matter what and that's okay... Except this is literally his job. And unlike a soloist singer who is bad at singing a bad actor can bring down the whole show including others who are good. I'm sure he's putting in a lot of effort but after like 4 series as main lead he's no longer a rookie actor who needs time, he's just unsuitable to act imo
So, after the first episode, I really loved Style's character and how he is written. IF he was played by someone who could act even at the level of joong or book it would have been great but sadly Dunk still delivers his lines like he's reading them off the script on the floor or projected on the wall.AND his 'acting' consists of squiggling his eyebrows in a stiff way, shaking his head side to side and making his eyes flit around a hundred times before saying his lines.
I'm disappointed because I was pleasantly surprised by his slight improvement in Summer Night, because I thought he was a hopeless case who would never improve in acting. This was shot after Summer Night but why did his skills reset to zero again? I think this has sth to do with acting together with Joong, who he is close with in real life. Being close with co actors in real life actually negatively affects acting bc real persona bleeds into the character's, from my own observation. Now from Dunk's interactions with others in gmmtv I'm sure he's a great friend and a fun guy but wow he has the worst ever acting I've seen on my screen. Please can anyone tell me if they've seen worse emoting and line delivery? I want to check it out.
Now on Joong... This guy did okay in Homeschool cameo and Ploy Yearbook but again in this one his acting reverted back to bad. Why does he act all his characters the same way? They come across as downright scary and red flag without any action to support it but just by his portrayal. Here, it's understandable bc his character was a killer but in the previous two series he was in with Dunk it was exactly like this. I hope he learns how to give some dimensions to his character.
I think gmmtv really needs to stop with the fixed pairing before it kills everyone's acting skills. First and Khao are incredible actors who have proven themselves and had great chemistry till now both with themselves and with others previously. Pairing ppl permanently deprives them of chances to act and deliver different chemistry with others and can plateau the actor's growth. There's only so many different chemistries you can deliver with one person, and after a couple times they're close irl too and that also adversely affects acting.
Also gmmtv has been treating these series' as just a tool to sustain their ships. They need to sell the ships so they're given a series and that's just an excuse to keep making money off the fanmeets, concerts and other events. That's why JoongDunk who are very shippable irl but can't act will keep having series.
hufftt this ending is just the same as the FOF drama 🙈🙉🙊So annoying, why just call out their name ? At…
Sadly all fantasy cdramas loooooove this kind of ending so I was expecting that for both... I've watched at least 15 cdramas with similar ending, with hopeful open endings with hint of them actually not being gone or reuniting for 5 seconds before drama ends. Now I just accepted it.
I like Dunk as a celebrity and I watched half of jd second series and full of their first one twice. I also think he improved a lot in Summer Night series which made me pleasantly surprised so I thought since heart killers was shot after that his acting would be good here but the trailer showed it reverted back to how it was... I think putting JD together actually lowers their skills bc they're close in real life and can't bring out their full acting skills. Well, trailer can't show it all so I'll give it another chance but if I have to drop a First series bc dunk's eyes flit around 200 times in a minute and he delivers his lines like reading off a script on the floor I'm going to be heartbroken
Sky is such a good actor, his eye acting is insane. I first saw nani in homeschool and he barely had a presence ( which I don't think was totally his fault bc film is a great actress and even she barely had a presence) but he improved like crazy here. Like he outdid 80% ppl in gmmtv
I just came here to say that View's visuals are crazy, she's so pretty.
Right? My girl is so pretty! I always thought she was gorgeous in a cool way but here she's being so cute too Wish stupid ass gmmtv would give her main roles it's long overdue atp.
This was beautiful. Sad, but that was expected. I love angst like this. I love how they did it here. But honestly yinglei and siheng AND Bai jiu all at once is a bit too much I cried a river with our pretty criers Zhuo Yichen and Wen Xiao.
I'm happy this drama introduced me to how lovely Chen Duling could be, and a bunch of other actors I'll look out for.
Li lun was my baby. He had this naiveness about him and followed his heart. Zhu yan definitely loved him at least as much as his current friends.
Bai jiu my brave child... He went through so much and he's just a baby 😭😭😭😭😭 Ying Lei loved his little bro so much give them and Siheng back to my girl Pei Sijing...
Now coming to Xiao Zhuo daren... Damn, just because he cries pretty we don't need to torture him like this?! First his whole family, then Ying Lei, Bai Jiu and finally he had to kill his dearest friend himself like give him a chance to smile he has a cute smile too... I feel like ZYZ death hurt him the most bc he needed to do it with his own hand, and because he understood the repeated cycle of loss and grief ZYZ had to go through his whole life. But tbh old guy already lived 30000 years it's not absolutely necessary to get him back ... Well... I needed to see him getting ZYZ back actually. Why leave the extra episode like that??? LET HIM COME BACK also let them hug it out once omg
Okay so I only watched one of today's episodes and wow my poor Ying Lei... But anyhow we finally got Wenqiao PSJ girlfriends!!!! Also what I've gotten from these two lovesick dumbasses who are in the weird throuple with Wenxiao while she has a girlfriend on the side is that ZYZ transferred the poison from Wenxiao and ZYC took it from him. So... Uh...smart of them I guess... Also knew Li lun still held a part of ZYZ's heart in the end he couldn't bear to see him die. And that's all li lun wanted to see, that ZYZ still cared about him. Could he not explain that while playing chess? Did they need to kill my cutie Ying Lei??? Sigh
Poor Shin, the worst thing in his life is he loves a very dumb stubborn thickheaded guy and no matter how he messes up Shincan't stop loving Saint and wanting to keep their friendship. Sth about it very doomed yuri coded in the way Shin will love Saint despite everything 🙄.
