Its me duh

The gayest homophobic movie I have seen. I kept thinking like: "is this the Taiwan version of the red envelope?" and then I realised this is the original HELP. I have to say there are quite some differences between the two versions. That intro was sooo gay I genuinely loved it, but I don't remember it from the Red envelope. I thought he was rlly hooking up w him and then that police plot twist I'm crying. I saw a lot of mixed opinions about this movie, there's people who love it and people who hate it, personally I like it but I was quite distracted while watching it (which is totally on me).

The scene's in this movie are fucking insane. THAT CHASING SCENE WAS SO FUCKING GOOD JESUS. I'm not even joking. I don't know what they used, stuntman or perhaps cgi but it was incredible. I don't watch a lot of series/movies with chase scene's in it but this is by far the funniest and nicest to watch one. I was kinda expecting a more censored movie but I'm really happy they didn't sensor this. I only watched 2 Taiwanese series including 1 movie (this one) and I'm super impressed about the quality each time. This really is a sign for me to watch more from Taiwan because it leaves me impressed every time.

Greg Hsu and Austin Lin both nailedddd these roles. I love Greg's acting, it's amazing. I have one question though, is it just me or why is Lin Tzu Ching in the cast as main characters?? She wasn't really a protagonist at all and she had some longer scene's that's it. I know she is a main character in GG Precinct aswell and maybe she falls in love with Wu Ming Han but... idk bro. One thing that could be better was honestly the stereotypical gay moments, which the red envelope had wayyy more than this one. It was overall just missing but it was nice to have this version.

So do I prefer the Thai or the Taiwanese version? It kinda depends, I have to admit that the Thai version was a little nicer but this version felt deeper. Like I took the Thai version barely serious and with this one I did. So if you're not sure which one to start with, I would say choose this version and then the Thai one. It feels like the homophobia from Wu Ming Han is wayyy stronger in this movie, but in the Thai version Mao Pang Yu or Titi is more of a protagonist. This sounds weird but I feel like the Taiwan version is more focussed on Wu Ming Han rather than Mao Pang Yu. Some scene's are the same, some aren't.

The ending was a bit boring until Wu Ming Han almost died, that was so emotional. The whole fight everything it just bored me, while normally I like those type of scene's. Honestly I doubt I'll watch the sequel since it doesn't look very appealing (GG Precinct). I wish this version had a longer scene or like an extra few minutes to show how Wu Ming Han felt quite empty after Mao Pang Yu kinda died? If you understand what I mean. The red envelope has this better. Maybe I shouldn't be comparing the two to much...

Anyways. Overall extremely nice and there are a few things I liked less about this version. I still liked this one and this might be my sign to watch more from Taiwan since I have not yet ever been disappointed in their series or movie.
