Chao Yin Zhan Ji (2018)

My emotions are all over the place!

This review will be a step by step of me talking about how I felt watching this show, I'll be talking about each episode so be warned it's long lol.

So far I'm enjoying the show since a friend recommended that I watch it as there's many good songs that come out of the show. Right now I don't know how I feel about one of the contestants Jony J he's seems really straightforward but for the wrong reasons. My dude got mad because Gong ge (one of the contestants that was on the show working as a pair with him) didn't like the idea of having to film these little videos to enable to garner attention from the viewers before the performances happens. And I get where gong ge is coming from the director or whatever people who made the show said it's going to be a show where you get to meet 10 different artist and get to work with them? I feel like the screenwriters for the show deceived both Jony J and gong ge. OMG 4th episode got me quaking when two teams that got the highest vote after their performance could choose whether to stay with their current partner or choose another one. It was hard seeing Jony J stick to just wanting to be with Gong ge for like the rest of the show but like that's kinda like not how the show is. Yes I understand you're more comfortable being with someone who shares THE SAME INTERESTS as you but like that's not really developing. My dude threw a fit towards Gong ge when Gong ge said he's doen't like doing those self promotion shit. I just hope that Minghao doesn't choose Jony J. (which sucks cause my dude seems to like Jony J alot but like that dude has a serious attitude problem) OK 5th episode WTF I mean my friend warned me about it from the get go but still. How you just gonna go leave the show cause you can't be paired with someone, that just seems real childish. OK so I'm now watching episode 6 now but like I can't even get past the first 5 mins of the episode cause I'm like so pissed but like Jony J's action it's so fucking petty. OK it's now currently like the next day since I've finished episode 6, since after the first 10 mins of the episode I really couldn't watch the rest soon since I was so pissed at the scene. anyway by the end of the episode episode I was crying since monkey king and his friend were eliminated and I get jiacheng and samuels situation where they don't like seeing stuff like that cause I don't like it aswell. I try and stir away from shows like this even if I know how the it initially ends (ex kpop debut shows) it still hurts, you know what I mean. But I'm glad that I decided to watch this as I now want to know more about Monkey kings songs. Just finished watching episode 7 so fun to watch all the pairs choose which guest they wanted to perform with and everything. There is one thing that I like about this show, all the participants are very involved with each performance whether it's re-arranging the song, making up choreography, vocal lessons/techniques to the other contestants or having a say with what they are going to do for said stage. It shines a light for these idols that they are not just singing/dancing machines they are so much more than that. So I finished ep 8 and 9 the other day and currently watching 10 now, I paused the episode an hour in cause I feel like I need to take breaks as this episode is like nearly 4 hours long since the episode was being broadcasted live . Gonna go finish the rest later on but I just wanna talk about episode 9. what my boy jun did was really understandable as the show is about being a team and finding both musicians stand point in the direction they want to go in for each performance. And because Jun's partner (yanan) had health related issues within the program, it would be very uhmm what's the word hard for jun to do the stages without yanan as the show is all about creating this stage with said partner. So I like how he opted to step down in being a part of the competition but still wanted to do the performance that they worked really hard on. Finally after 3 days of being on episode 10 it's finished and the winners are *dramatic drum roll* Samuel and zhennan wooooow, never would have guessed as it was hard to tell who would win after the third performance. So happy for them congrats. If there is to be a second season of this I would like to watch it as this one was just all good feel vibes(except forJony J the piece of shit). Until next time peace✌
