Soooo in all of this I suppose I'm the only one liking the "brothers" part more than the two main leads? I find Li Cheng very funny but way too "baka" for my taste, whereas Mu Ren gives me the creeps with his acting up to now. They are fun to watch, but... meh!
Everyone keeps saying the brothers' relationship is wrong and I agree the younger bro is problematic/obsessed but he definitely has some kind of mental issues and we'll see how they'll solve it (they are not even brothers so I wouldn't ban their couple due to a family register...) - on the other hand, Li Cheng is obsessed by the girl too, and he hurts a friend the same way by imposing himself on Mu Ren... but he isn't "justified" by any mental disease.
So out of the two couples, I'm for the brothers! (Who, btw, look both damn cool and their on-screen vibes are great!)
So, these two actors have one of the best chemistry in a BL I've seen (and I've seen quite a lot o.o), so... can't we just pick them up and move them into another plot with less angst?
They were both really great, they looked real and so vivid... but they relationship was kinda worse than an obsession.
I love his acting and loved all of his characters since he was young... somehow he has the ability to make tridimensional even the most stupid/bad-written character. But I kinda wonder how is it, that he often stars in dramas not worth of his acting ability.
I mean... he has such a long career, but no "AMAZING" one in the list.
So, this was probably among the best dramas of my youth, I have so many great memories of it! I laughed, I cried, I watched it thousand times! I came to love Kankuro's works thanks to this drama and it was a showcase of probably the best actors of those days...
I'm a bit shocked that it scores less then many commercial series out nowadays, but I suppose this is just me getting old. XD
I was just jumping through and I stopped since I noticed this drama is rated so low, I can't get why... maybe it doesn't deserve a 10 but it's probably one of the best LGBT stories I've seen, and not only that, it's a great coming-of-age drama!
I mean, this is definitely NOT a cherrypiesweetyfairy BL but on the contrary, it is an amazing vivid slice of life and the actors (especially the main lead) were amazing!
Anyone knows the title of the song Won Hyung Hoon's singing? It's so beautiful... and he has such a beautiful voice, definitely want this song on my playlist!
This is soooo cute! Watching it on VIKI after "Right or Wrong", it felt like a breath of fresh air! Funny, warm, sweet, vivid, with nice music and great acting (Fandy Fan omg, well done Mr.Smile!), i almost felt like being in the court with them. I wish we could get a proper ending, maybe the final volleyball match. :)
And btw Zach Lu is class 88, he looks so much younger!
Yes! Yessss! YESSSS!!! After 15 years we get a second season?? I missed Abe Hiroshi and I have so many memories from the original series... yatta, can't wait!!
I wasn't expecting this to be much more then a filler between other series, but turns out I was wrong: Chris Wu…
And, finished watching... in pure awe. Definitely among the best series I've seen, everything flows just the way it should. The ending is perfect (even though I would love a SP about Jack&Zhao with a cameo of TangYi/ShaoFei).
Once again, my biggest applause to Chris Wu. His way of portraying TangYi's complex personality and layered feelings is AMAZING! He made the character come alive.
I wasn't expecting this to be much more then a filler between other series, but turns out I was wrong: Chris Wu dominates the screen and that alone keeps you hooked, plus the side couple is sooooooooooooo damn cute (I want a Jack in my life!)! And the mood is always a perfect balance between fun, wit, drama, romantic moments and action.
As always in Taiwan's dramas I can't stand the female characters, some of the suits are horrible and Jake Hsu is sometimes irritating due to overacting, but... still, I bingewatched seven episodes (or 14? XD) yesterday night and I went to sleep at 5am. Couldn't stop laughing and some of the love scenes are so... so wow!
.......and, since it was a quiet day at work, here I am having finished it! XD Such an amazing series, so powerful and empowering at the same time... loved it, it was an amazing crescendo and I can't wait to start the second season!
To those of you who still haven't watched it: GOGOGO!! Watch it immediately!!
Oh, my! I was sooooo undecided if to watch this, the rating is great but the story didn't really convince me AND I'm not a huge fan of Thai language... after the first episode I was like, "ehi should I really go on?", I couldn't believe those crazy senior/freshmen things. BUT. I kept on going, trusting MDL community. And then... I ended up watched episodes 2to11 in one night because I just couldn't stop myself, I'm so hooked! At 6am I heard my alarm ring so now I'll go to work without having slept due to this drama... never happened to me before! XD
I'm so happy for him, I see him as an amazing and wonderful father! Blessings to their family, a deserved happiness after so many years of devoted fan-life. Yay!
Oh my, the first movie was beautiful but this manages to be way better! It has everything: fun, sweetness, pain, love, hate, struggle, amazing landscapes, amazing actors and characters (JAPAN I LOVE YOU! Yumi in the first movie and Kenta in this second one, they are that cherry on the cake!), tridimensional support roles, nice music, great scenes and shootings... I loved it.
the acting felt so real and deep, and everything was so much more natural then in the first movie... great on-scene chemistry and such a soft and relaxing vibe. At the end of the movie I realized I had a huge smile on my face during the whole vision.
Just one question if someone can help, it's not about the movie but about Thai culture. I don't understand the names? I mean, their names are Toey and Oat but on their Facebook profiles the names are so much different...?
I loved the series, but this D'sC feels so much more complete and the ending is not just random fanservice: is a great finale that connects all the points and lines of the story. Once more I must say the acting in this movie is simply amazing, especially by Jin Shirasu who's so vibrant and natural!
I'm so grateful for this ending, it really completed their relationship and the "life" of this story. And that lovely cameo by Wayne Song & Huang Juan Zhi, I smiled from the bottom of my heart!!
I was soooooo not sure if to watch this or not. And I'm glad I did. BEAUTIFUL. It's such a refreshing, crispy, witty, deep and liberating series in a world full of BL specifically made for fanservice.
I'm a bit confused over the Philippino language so it was a bit hard for me to immerse in the first episode, but the main actors are so vivid and natural that I couldn't help rooting for both of them (and meaning as two people, not merely as a couple). Great OST (I just finished watching and I'm already listening on the loop!). Great dialogues. No fake scenes or unnecessary moments, rather the opposite: every minute matters, every item shown has a role, every gesture has its weight. Amazing sensibility yet realism in portraying those everyday struggles: the importance of meeting at the right time; of acceptance; of learning who we are and fighting for ourselves without being scared, while also knowing that being scared is not a crime. The importance of communication, the weight of words and gestures over fragile human beings.
I could go on writing for hours. But instead, I think I will just rewatch it... hoping for a S2 to come!
This made my day, girls! XD I laughed so much because it feels so damn like me! I only dropped two dramas in my life, when I was a teen (a looooong time ago! XD) and my mission now is to absolutely start them from scratch and rewatch them till the end (also because one of them has a very high rating on MDL so I should find something good in it, right? XD) I usually answer to mails while watching a boring drama, or play some rpg game on the phone or even spend time on duolingo XD

We need more dramas with him. <3
