Uncle Unknown (2024)

Tinha potencial (mas não foi usado)

Sendo bem sincera, eu gostei muito. Mas apesar da excelente atuação, a série aparenta ser feita com baixo orçamento, haja vista a quantidade diminuta de atores, locações e os pouquíssimos minutos de EP. Parece aqueles mini dramas do TikTok ou desses apps de série coreana no celular, o enredo ficou confuso pois nada se desenvolveu do jeito certo, não havia tempo de tela, só situações que iam acontecendo de forma atropelada e o expectador que lute para entender o que está acontecendo.

Existe um pequeno alerta de gatilho no segundo EP, quando um indivíduo tenta drogar o prota.

Confesso que quando vi que se tratava de um tio e um sobrinho fiquei meio assustada, geralmente vemos irmãos sem laço sanguíneo e isso já se tornou comum, mas tio é outra coisa. Felizmente não era um caso de incesto e a nação pôde dormir feliz.

Confesso que fiquei com pena do amigo apaixonado, mas gostei da postura dele, que não se deixou levar pela maldade do outro indivíduo. O casal principal tinha uma ótima química e eu gostei bastante das cenas deles. A atitude da mãe realmente foi bonita, foi preciso passar por cima de todas as convenções sociais que ela conhecia para poder permitir o amor do filho, mas ela mudou de ideia tão rápido que nem deu tempo de sentir o drama.

Muita coisa ficou no ar, nem tudo são flores. Eu não consegui entender o que de fato afastou o casal no passado, e achei meio ilógico o tio simplesmente chegar e eles já irem ficando, sem maiores explicações. O plot ficou sem lógica nesse ponto, são muitas perguntas... Qual o motivo da separação, já que o tio viajou e eles estavam bem? Como o sobrinho não sabia sobre esse tio que é uma peça importante da família? A facilidade da volta também é estranha....

Enfim, apesar dos pesares eu gostei da atuação, a ost é encantadora, e ignorando todo o resto, eu recomendo a série sim.

This drama is what disappointment looks like. But I can't even complain, cuz it's on me... I had too high expectations. I blame myself for this one, I disappointed myself.

When I first learned about the premise of this, I was like. Oh, so Taiwan bls graduated from stepbrothers and are now going into the uncle business, sign me up. I was ready to be on my moral high ground while enjoying, and judging. Unfortunately, when the first episode aired and the intro was longer than the episode, I almost rioted.

Literally, the eff was this? It was all over the place. The plot needed time, which they didn't have, so it was rushed. And who the hell even propose like the uncle did in the finale? It felt like they ran out of budget in the location they were at, and had to leave, so the director was like, hurry up, quickly, put the ring on his finger and let's check out before we have to pay for another day.

Also, all that missed chances for them to meet and find out about each other was ridiculous. The mother even sent a picture, and you telling me after he returned to his phone he couldn't see it?? Then, it turned out the uncle knew the whole time any way? Meh.

Taiwan dramas almost never disappoint, so to see this one let me down, was unexpected. I'm not sure if it's due to the plot being whatever, or the execution, but this was not it. The story was very rushed, the secondary characters were uninteresting, and that basic arse bad guy came off whiny and childish with no depth. The main cp were there, didn't really get much from them either, and that mother was also there... really, everything about this disappointed me. Such a shame, this would have been an amazing bl if it had proper run time and the plot was well executed. Perhaps they lacked investment?

Anyway, if you wanna watch it, kudos to you, personally I won't recommend it. Hopefully the actors get a chance to work on something better in the future. One thing I liked about this though, was the theme song. Dafug you mean 'My love for you is 3 centimeters deep, not more, not less.' It made me laugh, so at least there was that.
