This was a great first episode, love P'Nuchy's touch and OffGun are so adaptive to their roles, I love how they always do different projects! And Dew has become such a great actor project after project, he's so smooth and has an amazing chemistry almost with anyone!
Sigh. The only thing I can say after it all is... "sigh".
The two mains could have been stellar and the story had so much potential, BUT it was a complete mess in each and avery aspect, plus with one of the worst endings I've ever seen.
It's incredible how JuniorMark have such a chemistry even in a trailer that has zero preparation! They are really amazing and Mark has become so much better at acting, project after project!
Really!? If I actually lived in this fantasy land - and I had the option to have a boyfriend who is a sweet, sweet…
To quote your first post - even a person who points a gun at you.
The difference is, pointing a gun is choice while reading your mind is something innate that he can't control, basically like breathing or hearing or smelling.
For as much as I love our boys, I'm really disappointed with this series. It's a mess. The most absurd thing this episode (aside from wounds that disappear and bodyguards that can't shoot): there is a warrant on Pheem, with his face on every newspaper, and they officially register their wedding? Don't they have to present ID documents when doing so?
I love Offroad and Daou too, and they're acting their asses off in this series (as always), but this definitely doesn't deserve its actual 8.4 rating.
This sounded interesting when I saw the trailer, and I'm happy to see the first two episodes are really enjoyable! Funny, well acted and well directed! I'm laughing so much and, although PondPhuwin are great in their roles, I'm continuously smiling at Est because he's so "one of us"! His subtle expressions are everything! And, the secondary cast is also a feast for the eyes, can't wait for this series to unfold!
Note to self: if you ever visit Thailand, avoid jungles... there's people with guns, with powers, with powders, with rifles, you get lost (BUT found a second later) or kidnapped (BUT rescued thanks to GPS hidden under mugs), there's zombies, ancient cities with demonic powers, tombraiders, scriptraiders... holy moly.
Honestly, I can’t with his acting. It’s beyond over the top. Director did an appalling job of actually directing…
I think this is exactly what the director wanted - he's a pretty good actor usually, and it feels he was told to act like a crazyassb!tch... and so he's doing as told.
If you feel the fights look like direct out of Dragon Ball, it's because the core inspiration behind Dragon Ball…
I still haven't watched Dashing Youth (but I will as soon as I finish MDZS donghua) so I can't compare, but TBOY also did a better rendition of fights (I mean, some things like the huge cgi beats are indeed cringe, but that's also part of the charm, right? XD).
Siwat: "can you forgive my father?" Answer from Khao: jump on him and basically eat him. o.o
These two boys (and Thara's actor too) are very nice to watch, but everything that happens has less and less sense episode after episode. Mind me, the base plot is actually pretty intriguing, but the execution is a mess... there is almost no scene in which i'm watching without saying "why?" or "what are they doing?" or "this is very stupid" or "that's not an intelligent thing to do". That's such a pity because this could have been a huge series.
Did you know how he died? Already pass the scene but i just didnt understand how. I thought hes the strongest…
In episode 18, after Li Han Yi is attacked and is almost dying in bed, he and the Scholar Deity cure her - but while doing so, Zhao Yu Zhen absorbs one toxic needle from Li Han Yi to save her and that will cause him to die.
I watched this when it aired back in the days and I remember I loved how it managed to be manga-like because One Pound Gospel is one of my favourite works from Rumiko Takahashi... it was a very fun ride - the series might not have aged well, but Kame's acting was so damn funny!
Still haven't started the novel? :DAnyway - the VAs in the the donghua are mixed and matched in the live adaptation…
Noooooo I have it on my nightstand but never get enough time to start reading in peace. Work is killing me T_T
Anyway, I had recognized some voices and that way of calling "Wei Ying" with so much pathos is indeed unforgettable!
I just finished S1 (that I loved, narratively speaking it's so much clearer than the drama although it has way less screentime) and S2 which, tho', seems to cut too short on some very important moments. I think I'll start S3 tonight. <3
After finishing Blood River I couldn't jump directly to another wuxia, so I finally decided to watch the donghua from Mo Dao Zu Shi, because I was missing WWX and LWJ... and I'm really pleasently surprised!
The first episodes are actually more easy to follow than the Untamed first ones (there were definitely too many characters for me) and I'm loving the voice actors!
Next step will be the novel, but I'll need some quiet time for that.
If you feel the fights look like direct out of Dragon Ball, it's because the core inspiration behind Dragon Ball…
Yes, I know the backstory and inspiration from DB.
What I meant is, visually in terms of CGI that is used in a more "cartoonish" way - I can suspend my disbelief for the laws of physics while watching martial arts movies or series (or dramas in general), and I'm happy to do so because the final effect of these "superpower martial arts" is usually elegant and a pleasure to watch... but some of the scenes here feel "too lazy" in the way the characters move on screen. For example, MuYu's umbrella flying around like Aladdin's magic carpet. T_T
(I don't know how to explain this in English in a very good way, sorry)
Aaaaand, it's done. Not quite what I was expecting but I loved it: I was impressed by all the actors, especially the ones playing Su Chang He, prince Langya and Tang Lianyue (I already knew Gong Jun would slay this role, so no doubts on that) and by how the story was always flowing and intertwining events and characters.
For some reasons I still liked TBOY better, to be honest, maybe because it was more "brotherhood-packed" and all the female characters in there kicked asses (yes, Sikong QianLuo was one damn fighter!)... here I had some issues with the fights, they felt as direct out of a Dragon Ball episode and sometimes they were too packed with cringey CGI that lacked elegance.
But anyway, getting the chance to see Gong Jun with white hair once again was a treat, AND I hope they'll cast some of these faces in TBOY's second season too. :)
