Battle of the Writers EP 1
The opening scene of this episode is incredibly striking. It features a man with long hair, blindfolded, standing in a dense forest, which immediately brought to mind the character Po Xiao from the 2020 film Wuliang.
I've read some comments about the first episode on the drama's profile page and am a bit confused. Some people looking forward to the show for a while were disappointed by the first episode, feeling that it didn't provide enough explanation about each character. However, I have a different view. The show presents the characters in a way that allows the audience to subtly get to know each writer.
It did this quite effectively. I thoroughly enjoyed the game. It was well thought out, and I was captivated by the established rules. It offers the audience insight into which writers are knowledgeable about specific literary works. It was amusing to observe that many of the books on the table featured romantic scenes. I found several moments during the game quite humorous, especially when editor Pie called—that moment was hilarious!
I have a soft spot for the Chinese-speaking writer; I would love to hear him narrate anything! Haha. If anyone knows the actor's actual name, please let me know. I struggle to recognize faces and can't locate him on the cast list.
I appreciate how the dramatic readings are presented, like a theatrical production. They possess a distinctive artistic expression. This episode gives off a similar atmosphere to episode 1 of "Knock Knock, Boys!" where the boys are all engaged in a drunk game of spin the bottle.
Shan said, "Challenge accepted," and read more than three lines. Ob-un's "Already?" I screamed !!
The chemistry between the two male leads. I see it!
