This looks pretty good in the beginning (haven't had a lot of time to just relax with a drama). I hope it stays the same, I really need a good kdrama this year (been kind of unlucky with them lately).
They should have put me on the voice acting gig, and then EVERYBODY in the world - myself included - could have had a good laugh about it. Well, except when I would have to dub it in my own language (though I don't really have that kind of "radio"-quality voice, LOL).
My 2 cents - if the original actor could have passed, they wouldn't have needed a dub actor. So it's pretty certain they did not pass. Also, how important is this role to the drama? If it's a support role, maybe the fuss matters (because they'd have a lot of dialogue, some of it in Chinese). If it's just a bit part, whyfor all the noise? People are just waiting to get something to be mad about.
So again I'm proposing myself to do all the dubbing, we all need a good laugh once in a while. (I don't know Chinese at all, BTW. Or Korean. I should do wonders with those languages :D)
Watch Buried Hearts for peak PHS visuals. Also Happiness :DHe's got a great face card and can emote if need be,…
He was amazing in Buried Hearts. The plot kind of fell apart in the last segment, but it was awesome while it lasted. I liked it anyway. And he's pretty good(looking, LOL) in Happiness. He did make an impression, but I've gotten really hooked up just in BH.
Came here after wanting to watch something after Twelve Letter too 🤭
Not (exactly) romance, but time-travel/time-loop/slipped-time communication... there are plenty good ones. SDoOD is great! And if you're into anime with this kind of story, don't miss Steins:Gate, Paprika, your name. (Actually, if you just pick one, watch your name.)
But there are plenty detective (with some romance) ones, kdramas, too. Like Train, Tunnel, Signal, 365: Repeat the Year, Kairos, maybe W Two Worlds (it's a bit of a stretch, but it's still kind of a time/space-slip), Love for Love's Sake (BL), Welcome to Life, Life on Mars, My Stand-in (rebirth, BL), Reset :D (the Thai one, it's not a remake, rebirth, BL), The Atypical Family, Cross Fire (cdrama), and why not, Oh No! Here Comes Trouble!! (it's not time-slip but it's amazing and it's scifi/fan and pure heartache and comedy at the same time).
is it bromance or romance ?? I don’t wanna start it and end up disappointed because there’s no romance
It's censored danmei. Yes, if you're so inclined you can say it's just bromance. But if you have eyes to see, you'll see it.
This is the level (no kisses, though there are plenty of PDAs and lots, lots of bedroom eyes and they even kept the drunken marriage proposal LOL): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLLumzo__GA (The song fits the story perfectly).
Take a look and decide. It's the best danmei live adaptation that was ever released.
can someone tell me which new drama was released by untamed's director?? It is historical bromance i think
One of the directors made Eternal Faith (TGCF) but it probably won't ever be released.
The drama you're thinking of is probably Kill to Love - it's airing as a Singaporean drama, but it's based on a danmei novel. MDL doesn't have the technical crew listed, and they probably don't want to be linked to it anyway, officially, given the attitude of censorship in the mainland. One review says it's by the same director as TU, but doesn't say which of them (there are two main directors and one art director).
KTL is unapologetically danmei, LOL, including kisses and everything. I think they're really committed, 4 eps still to run. Hopefully it's a HEA (I haven't started watching yet).
Yeah, well, you should read (because there aren't any other ABO dramas that I'm aware of) some power-bottom Omega…
Yes, usually it's just alpha-beta-omega. Alpha and Omegas are usually rare (though there are some stories where there are WAY too many Omegas.) Most of the regular population is Beta. At times, they can switch genders (but it's mostly in VERY abusive stories, because changing genders isn't easy).
In-between genders, there are ranks. The very top are SSS-tier, then the S-tier, then the ~regular~ kind.
An Enigma is new (or at least to me, I haven't read this one's novel and I guess I won't be reading it at all). He seems to be a very-overpowered Alpha (higher than a SSS level) who can mask his scent and generally control his pheronomenes output. I guess not in this story.
But yeah - in omegaverse all possible combinations are played out, so Alpha-on-Alpha isn't actually new. The fact one of them is so OP is the new bit. And so far, TBH, he doesn't come through to me other than psychotic. Maybe it's the writing, IDK.
Smh. Man called him a filthy omega and Gao tu still opened his legs 😂 anyways...I have like a question on the…
Yeah, that was rape actually. Gao Tu tried to resist and WenLang overpowered him. There is no excuse for it. And probably since it's expected for Alphas to force/rape Omegas in heat, he doesn't even react all that strong... yet.
I'm not really into the A-B-O genre. But this series is excellent, IMO. The reason I like it so much is that it…
Yeah, well, you should read (because there aren't any other ABO dramas that I'm aware of) some power-bottom Omega stories. The fact that there's a gender that tops the Alphas isn't that amazing, LOL, even in this drama some Alphas are S-tier and the others are lesser. Dominating a lesser Alpha already happened quite a few times in this drama too, just not - then - in bed. Alpha-on-Alpha stories exist too (and any and all other possible combinations). Not my cup of tea though.
It felt fresh with the invention of a new gender, but the tropes are pretty worn already, LOL.
At least it's not drop-level (yet). But after Ming, I didn't think I'd ever hate another ML so much and TBH it's…
The writer herself took on a lot of production roles, I think including scripting and directing (I might be wrong, but I think I read that, and also saw the OP credits, just didn't pay much attention to the technical team credits, my bad).
She should know the tropes of heat in ABO 'verse. And also, according to the novel (I've browsed it on Chrysanthemum Garden) there WERE excusing circumstances - at least for WenLang's actions. For some incomprehensible reason she//the team chose to basically turn both encounters into no-excuses rape. In the novel, there might be some abject excuses from the both of them upcoming, but I kind of doubt it in Hua Yong's case (because he's a psycho), maybe it would work in WenLang's case (because he has some trauma and he's genuinely stupid when it comes to actually seeing Gao Tu. I mean, HOW MANY YEARS does it take to see through GT being an Omega?! He cannot be that stupid, right? Unless he IS that stupid, LOL).
Even with the heat tropes, though, why not make use of it smartly? She invented the Enigma gender, and he's supposedly much more than an Alpha and can do basically anything - BUT control himself?!
The rapes weren't needed. HY could have seduced ShaoYu with his pheromones and even if that meant revealing his nature sooner so what, if he loves him?! And the very next day he LEAVES him (a rape victim, struggling to make sense of what the hell happened to him) and plays on his emotions AGAIN with insinuating he's being forced to be WenLang's sex slave or whatever in exchange for the medicine for SY's dad. WHY?! No show of remorse yet, nothing prepared in case he's outed as Enigma... and sadly I kind of think SY will just forgive him, just like that, because he's in love with him. Basically the Stockholm syndrome kind of love. Not really what I expected or assumed, even in a full-on trope ABO drama.
WenLang too - WHY would he go and rape a STRANGER?! If I were Gao Tu, let's pretend he could accept WenLang coming to him and doing it in the heat or because of alcohol - ANYTHING to excuse it - but to a STRANGER?! An Omega in heat, helpless, resisting... and WenLang rapes him anyway?! WHY??? How does Gao Tu moves on from that?! It's insane. But he still sticks around because he doesn't know how to go away yet. I've read some spoilers in the novel, and it looks like he's going the right way after some time, growing some spine despite a lot of pain.
But Hua Yong?... I doubt it.
Sorry for the rant - it just makes me kind of mad I actually liked this drama in the beginning, despite the shortcomings, but now it looks like it's just making material the censors can use to permanently ban making ANYthing danmei (and maybe going after writers too, as with the pedo-material producing writers of Haitang that made the news just a while back). There was some rumour of even foreign-airing dramas to be banned, basically anything danmei would never be produced (involving Chinese actors, that is). And this one would go right on their exhibits' drawer as to why.

And the soundtrack is freaking AMAZING!!!!!!

Take a look at it, it'll make you fall in love :D
He's got a great face card and can emote if need be, but this drama ain't it, despite him being in a villain (?) role.
But there are plenty detective (with some romance) ones, kdramas, too. Like Train, Tunnel, Signal, 365: Repeat the Year, Kairos, maybe W Two Worlds (it's a bit of a stretch, but it's still kind of a time/space-slip), Love for Love's Sake (BL), Welcome to Life, Life on Mars, My Stand-in (rebirth, BL), Reset :D (the Thai one, it's not a remake, rebirth, BL), The Atypical Family, Cross Fire (cdrama), and why not, Oh No!

(And no, it's still dropped, what, are they still doing OGwi on the roof and having just 1-min appeareances LOL?)
Movie notes - loved the accent. Also, Korean men age backwards LOL.
And, wow, cameos!
...Dammit.
Anyway, I'm watching you. Better make it soon. Or else.

Anyway, yeah. Camp is just fine, but this is less than IMHO.
Both of them better be suffering through the whole 6 eps left, or there's no saving this story, LOL.
Stop hiding things? What things. LOL. There are no things, move on.
