russian white bear

early episodes are way over the top but it get better later at least. some nice ideas on the plot but they kinda fumble the detail. overall wasnt half bad.

didnt realised this title has been adapted many times, ive only ever know and watch the japanese movie version with YUI in it

anyone know if this was shot in 2021/2022?

except for the part where they somehow glorifying the private military co, its all pretty good

dear god look at all those casts

figures hahaha i cant thihk of any other sakaguchi

surely you mean kawaguchi

oh hey that synopsis actually sounds pretty good

zhou yu tong looks way too good here (with the long hair and everything) but the way this drama is so over the top is the very thing i stand against when watching drama/movie T.T

sometime i wonder how they could imagine and write such daring plot but too chicken to end it in such a way too

welp i mean 20 eps is considered rather short for a cdrama T.T (unless the titles is "definitely not today" xD)

nah theres no choosing, each timeline is as real as the other.

we all, we all do

it wasnt even that hard to discern between the two plot if you pay attention. skill issue.

mdl have a habit of giving low score for unconventional story telling (heck this one isnt even that unconventional just a bit confusing at the beginning)

Took me quite some time (around the middle of the story) to realize that this story wasn't trying to compare which choice is better or worse, because theres no right or wrong answer to begin with. I feel like what this story trying to say is that choice and regret come hand in hand but whats more important is how we face it forward. Ultimately i think its trying to remind us that no matter how good or bad the result might have seems, in the end theres no path without struggle and pain, each with a set of its own and even if you could wind back the time you would just come across a different obstacle.

All that being said, i gotta admit i enjoyed the shanghai storyline better since i think the other story kinda fumbled a bit at executing the plot, like how some characters action feels too forced just for the sake of progressing the plot. Also i gotta say i cant stand yu jian's mom but i guess its a testament to how accurate they write an uneducated narrow minded old boomer character.

Hh and the ost are great, first time i shazamed a cdrama ost
