Century of Love (for Dr. Third)
Acting:
Pretty solid stuff all around. Offroad and Bright did a good job with most of the scenes especially the beginning and end. Offroad’s portrayal of emotions for grandma were really great. Definitely could use some more realistic portrayal of devastation from Offroad and Bright in a few important scenes, though. The women were fantastic in this. Cookie, Xiang, Tuk, and Kae all did an amazing job. Cookie was real versatile and Xiang was damn good at crying well. But now, I must point out the biggest positive and negative of this series, Pond. I can’t with this man. Not only is his acting absolutely insane top tier, but you cast him to be one of if not the most loveable character in the show??? With those skills and that face?? With that smile and that ability to show depth of emotion??? Ya’ll were crazy for that…
Writing:
It was giving like lowkey The 10th Kingdom-esque vibes for a few bits there and I love that shit. This show definitely surprised me with the plot working so well for most of the show. The only things that reeeeaaly got to me were 1- The timeline. Like 2 months?? No shot. And 2- You made Dr. Third faaar too likeable in comparison to the main man. Like, be so ffr rn. Maybe I’m insane and insanely biased bc of the casting decision, but that character was an absolute gem and outshone San at every turn in the story.
Chemistry/Romance/Kissing:
There was definitely chemistry. It was cutesy but definitely didn’t blow me away. This obviously works as a romance at its core, but again, Dr. Third was too likeable imo. Kissing was good throughout with the exception of the smell “kisses”..? That was a choice
Music/SFX:
Music was… There for sure. Not my favorite music choices in a series by far. And there were a couple scenes where it was supposed to be emotional and the music felt like they pressed play on the wrong button… SFX in the beginning was truly horrendous. Not as bad throughout the rest of the story though.
Overall, I really enjoyed this series. I like a little supernatural plus fated lovers number. It’s my first series seeing both Offroad and Bright acting in general as well as together and I look forward to seeing their next series.
Pond, you can reach me at (+1) 60*-***-****.
Now, for some highlights from my notes:
- SFX team needs to calm down
- No my bb Pond is a villain?? But you can’t make me hate him like that damn
- Pond had like 5 seconds of screentime after he shot girly and he still ate that shit up
- I am once again asking for the SFX team to calm down
- You’ve heard of gay for pay, now we present to you gay for dear life
- Oh my god this Offroad boy is so cuuuute
- Another mother figure in the hospital bc dramas hate a mother figure
- You’ve got quite the imagination to be dreaming like that, my guy
- Lmao that kid’s judging face was a 10/10 on point
- DR POND??? What a blessing to my eyes eeee
- I’m sorry Pond is just so fine my god I want a show where he plays every role just so I can look at him a bit longer plus he would probably give an award-winning performance in every role
- “So what you’re saying is he’s nice to you and I’m mean to you?!” uhh.. Yeah?
- Dr Pond is gonna have to do something real heinous in order for me not to like him. As it stands I’m thinking Vee should switch hubbies
- Did they mean to make episode 5 feel like San is the villain
- Bright is fine as hell but they really did make a mistake casting Pond bc I can’t say no to his smile
- Bro when Offroad smirks my heart skips a beat or 5 good lord
- When did great gramps get smooth like that lol
- “I’m too late again, right?” with that sad little smile.. Dr Pond please just one chance I’ll help you put your heart back together

- Why haven’t we tried asking the goddess yet? Like “hey miss girly, would it be chill if we wrap this up with a ceremony with whoever you see fit then I get to be with my boy Vee 5ever?”
- Tbh two months is way too short of a time for all this to be going down… I’d believe 6 maybe
- Sooo.. you’re gonna kill him..?
- So the guy who murdered someone in his past life is an angel and the woman who was an innocent lovely lady in her past life is a murderer? Oh how the turn tables
- Daaaamn girly looking fine as hell in that bar tho
