Yes, but I tend to leave the last 3-4 episodes of most drama's because I'd rather them not end or end badly. I am a sucker of HK drama's, there is something about the "corniness" I find entertaining.
I am sucker for HK drama's like this. I really enjoy how they aren't afraid of making plots outside of what you usually see within other more 'popular' Asian drama's.
I don't think TVB NA's Anywhere site, paid their server bill because their videos haven't been working for awhile now but you can still find some of their content on YouTube as long as it's not licensed by a streaming platform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RVe-b1g6Fs
I am making subs for episodes 8 & 9. Time Loop anything is one of my favorite niches but the female and male leads in this drama were poorly designed. Not sure what the director or story creators were thinking. The kid with the big ears in the show is by far the best actor out of the cast. I can see him becoming popular in the future as a solid supporting role or villain lead.
This was one of the better dramas in 2024 for me. There are some always room for improvements but I really enjoyed…
Sometimes I need to watch drama's that are outside your standard Asian drama storyline, to 'reset' my brain. I was going to pass on this drama because I fell asleep during the first episode but re-watched it to make sure I wasn't flaking on a good show and glad I decided to. The only thing that bothered me was I felt like it was either filmed in poor lighting conditions or they rendered the video lighting to be darker. Other then that, the plot/acting/scenery/etc. is great. Plus I like how they added the small facts about each episode before they ended. How they had 700 people for the scene with the boat disappearing under the bridge.
Been watching this for the fourth time now! Their sweetness is so amazing it gives me butterflies in my stomach,…
i started this drama because i enjoy playing pool & snooker. was surprised how decent the director was able to capture a more realistic feel of two random people slowly getting to know each other. which is usually the most addictive part in a new relationship.
anyway, is there a sad ending? ie, someone dies? it feels like the female lead is narrating the story from the future. makes me worried the male lead passes away at some point and these are her memories of him.
I honestly really enjoyed this drama. Every episode kept me entertained and left me curious on what was going…
Random notes: This drama was the most watched drama in Hong Kong for 2014 with a rating of 29 points.
The original title for this series was 'Food for the Slaves' & the original cast had several changes from the 2012 sales pitch trailer.
Apparently there is an episode where you can see a minivan cruising through the Qing dynasty town. (I only learned about this after watching the series, so wasn't looking for it and not sure which episode this occurs in)
I honestly really enjoyed this drama. Every episode kept me entertained and left me curious on what was going to happen next. I understand a good amount of viewers have become accustomed to the high standards of modern kdrama's and anything lesser are drama's they can't enjoy. Then this might not be a drama for you. However, if you're someone with an open mind and just are looking for something generically good to kill time. I think you will find this series rather pleasing.
The only character which might get annoying early on is the chef 'Ko Tin Po'. If you can get past the first two episodes of his acting & behavior, it should grow on you and eventually make you laugh in certain scenes. Apparently his (Wong Cho-lam) 2013 drama 'Inbound Troubles' got high praise for his comedic role in that. This could just be a cultural difference in how people in Hong Kong portray comedy.
Saw someone on reddit recommend this drama and being a fan of Nakatani Miki, no clue how I missed it. Maybe because the poster image isn't too enticing and I've always ignored starting it. Hoping it's a solid 90's era JDRAMA, that keeps me entertained.
This show is okay if you just turn your brain off and wanna see some rich people being nasty to each other and…
I just started it because I enjoy dramas with a good amount of episodes. Did you finish the series? Worth it to the end or just a generic good time killer, soap opera?
I was stuck at a log cabin during a snow storm with poor internet and the TVB app was the only source for free drama's without tons of annoying popups at my disposal. I found this series from their app/site and I honestly thought it was really well done. I don't compare Hong Kong drama's with KDrama's and when I rate certain drama's, I am sticking with the country of origins overall comparison based on what I've seen for that country. I would give this show a 7.8/10 - It has comedy, a good cast, romance and the hardships people have to struggle with to survive.
I've been reading Chinese books about 'The Walled City' lately, only because there are basically no English books about it, other than a few photography books. After getting a headache reading AI translated Cantonese 📚 books, I decided to look for dramas filmed within the walled city. While there was only two (older) dramas filmed in the real city, I thought the plot of this drama seemed intriguing. Taken place in the early era of The Walled City. Showing you a glimpse of what it possibly was like before it became a sprawling city.
Only on episode 6 right now but each episode keeps you entertained and highly engaged to the storyline. I really don't want to say much as this is a drama that I feel others should watch going in blinded but when it comes to romance. It seems like that builds up later and slowly starts around episode 6.
If you took the Netflix Daredevil TV series, added the Taken films to a blender and mixed some soy sauce. You would get this movie. I'd agree that the average rating (7.5) does this movie justice. The fight scenes are done well, enough to keep you entertained. Both male and female leads work well with each other. So if you have time to kill and are looking for an action film, this movie should do the job.
