Tong is probably one of the worst antagonists in drama world: he's sly, vicious, nasty, and a coward who keeps changing answers trying to make the most out of every situation. He's way worse than those "openly bad"-kind-of antagonists.
This drama might not be deep, or original, or creative... but it's a gift of smiles and happiness at every second. I love watching it because for those 45 minutes I know I will immerse myself in a bubble. And can we talk about how beautiful these guys are? Pond's smile should be considered one of the World's Wonders, and same goes for Boom's expressions!
Great start! Gun is a chameleon displaying so many different expressions in this first episode! And Off's glances weighted more than thousand words!
All the characters look fun, I love a good character-driven drama and I expecially love the fact that they are working (young) adults! Fingers crossed it doesn't get lost in the hole of clichees...
this is just bad/lazy writing. in the manga and japanese LA version, their convo was more heartfelt. it goes on…
yes, it felt pretty abrupt too - they could have managed it way better, especially since we're starting to have quite a few good examples of good communication in coming out scenes or acceptance moments.
As a gay person, I can tell you, many times in my life people have told me I wasn't normal because I'm gay. There…
Thanks for your point of view! I can actually understand it, but I feel using the world "normal" keeps underlying that there is a difference between two things/situations. For example: I'm a non-cis single mother of an autistic child, and what I keep hearing is "normal families" in contrast to my allegedly "non-normal" family (which has always been only me+my son, fullstop). But as long as people (even doctors or specialists!) keep saying "normal/abnormal" we'll never get to the point where it doesn't matter who you decide to love, or even create your family with. (I don't know if I explained myself correctly, sorry)
I think choosing a positive set of words is even more important in a drama that is meant for a teen audience.
Sasaki was such an hilarious character, I hope we get more cameos from Luke in the few remaining episodes because his crazy energy made me laugh so hard! XD
There are so many things about this episode, like the emotional kiss on the forehead or the beautiful love-making scene... but the only thing I can keep on thinking is: UP is so damn beautiful and talented!! He keeps getting more and more stunning at each episode!
Ok - plotwise and "policewise" it was all over the place, BUT: it was still very enjoyable with great action scenes and great acting. And hot guys, obviously.
Maybe it was a bad translation, but I really hated the moment in which Atom told Half that he likes Thap, and Half answers "you are normal. people who think this stuff is abnormal, are abnormal". I so so so hate when they use "normal/abnormal" words, what does "normality" means anyway! It take us back centuries!
Also am I crazy to actually like the painting. Everyone is hating on it. Am I missing something lol?
I like the artwork too - I mean, it did feel like the classic "well-made painting without anything that stands out" at first, but the roses somehow gave it a new perspective: it's as the painter is watching the seaside from behind a window, giving it more "humanity" and making the viewer a part of the painting.
I started rewatching this series out of some kind of weird nostalgia for the pairing MekMark... I never really liked Mek but I liked his performance here and FahPrince moments were so nice! As many other series, as I remembered it went downhill in the second half with many useless cliches, but still it's a good drama. <3
Uh - ep1 was kinda better then ep2. It's basically the party of the year for cringeness, cheesiness and clichèes... but Mos looks so great in a white shirt that I can forgive (almost) anything.
The acting is pretty bad tho'... Mos is doing a nice job but Bank's character is so badly written that the poor boy will have it tough making it decent. Sigh.
Fingers crossed for ep3 but my expectations are getting lower and lower.
