Omg, this would be so much fun. This reminds me of another movie which turns out the victim had framed the peeping tom. The difference is there was no actual body, but just blood everywhere. Can't wait for this...hehe
Could someone spoil the first two episodes for me please? Trying to decide whether I want to watch it or not.
Well first things; if you're a fan of mystery, thriller and action plus like the leads, then this is for you. First 2 eps. were more of an introduction to the leads. Basically the female lead is the CEO of a company that is introducing blood free meat to the market. And this concept rattles a lot of furthers since it threatens lots and lots of businesses. With that she is a constant target to public scrutiny and some people wants her dead. And that's where our ML comes in because he will be her bodyguard. He comes from a military background and due to a specific tragedy he retired and became a bodyguard. We later find out that, the FL and other powerful people were involved in that tragedy. However we don't know at what capacity so you can say ML is both a bodyguard and a spy/investigator. I hope I gave you enough to make up your mind. Personally, I find it quite exhilarating because it makes my brain work. And I love a clever written story.
It is sad. His guardian said it out of anger though. But LYY's pride did not allow him to go back.
Yeah great and that's why I speculated that maybe what LYY needed was his mentor to come for him because I realky think he really really valued his relationship with him and maybe saw him as a father-figure.
It is sad. His guardian said it out of anger though. But LYY's pride did not allow him to go back.
Yeah and No...he still shouldn't have said that and if let's say it was out of anger, then he should have looked for him later but never did. And that says a lot... LYY was like a wounded soul that needs a lot of love and care. Plus who doesn't know about teenagers and their pride etc. Ultimately, the adults let him down. This part of the story reminds me a lot of another story in "Falling into You" Cdrama. In there there is a boy who had a rough upbringing but is very talented in running. So one of the coaches recruited him and dare I say their relationship was not easy but his coach never gave up on him. Each time he tries to run away, the coach will go after him etc and in the end, their relationship became better. And that's what LYY's mentor should have done...Not Giving Up on Him!
This might be way out there but did anyone notice anything about the early part of ep 15 after they left the cabin?…
Yep, I did and laughed... Also in earlier ep. there was a scene when they in the train and LYY checks his watch and tells YG how much they had left with to arrive...And get this, the train was not moving 😀😀
Yep her family is a bunch of arrogant twits who have. A holier than thou attitude and that is why the FL may never…
Exactly, people like them are the worst because they think they are righteous e.g. how YG's mom was preaching to her about opinions and being old enough to understand others...oh please🙄 Actually she is the immature one then because as an "adult" she doesn't understand that LYY was still a child when he made a mistake.... Like who needs the devil, with a familyike that...
Whilst watching this drama I noticed that so much is missing to LYY's character and if we knew more, maybe I would be able to understand why everyone seems to feel some form of betrayal from him 🤔 From what we know and my little interpretation, LYY is an orphan who started fending for himself at a very young age. He is poor and has noone but then he realised he has a talent in billiards. He excels in it under a mentor and it's fair to say the latter also becomes his guardian. Everyone suddenly starts to have high hopes for him etc. So LYY goes from nothing to having a crazy talent, make money and a guardian. To many it may seems great but to someone who is used to be alone and have felt like the world abandoned him, it can be too much (my experience). So LYY's pride and arrogance may have been his defence and coping mechanism with everything that was going on, bearing in mind he is still a child. Ofc, his behaviours weren't right esp. towards XD and maybe the so-called fatal mistake but my point is the adults let him down. In that argument with his mentor, what the latter said (something like if you leave don't ever come back) might have felt like a stab to LYY. Because, imagine being a child, having a home and someone you may see as a father asking you to leave and never return especially considering your childhood. So nowonder he left, because it seems he felt abandoned and to top it off, the mentor never looked or asked him back... So I'm sorry but I think the adults failed him 😔 😕 POOR LYY P.S. I feel like a LYY's advocate...😆
I've been keeping quiet about this drama because it's that no-drama drama that is such fluffy and cute...And that is until I watched ep. 18. Hmmm, am I the only one who think YG's family is a bunch of hypocrites (tempted to say a**holes right now). Cause here is the thing, LYY made a mistake when he was barely a teenager and a decade plus later, they are still crucifying him for that like WYF. Oh I knew I may not like YG's mom and now I definitely dislike her. I say she is a hypocrite because she says, she is not judging him and yet she acts exactly that 😎And that sister/auntie is a piece of work...the way she treated the waitress and said a mouthful about LYY 🙄...Like bit** please 🙄. And they say when you marry someone, you marry the family...oh hell no to a family like that.
Overall 7.5/10 for me Finally it has ended...Not gonna lie, I got through to the end with an "Are we there yet" mind. Which means there are things are loved and some things not so much and here is what I think: Love 1) I absolutely loved the camaraderie turned strong friendship in this. There were completely different people except for a few but the way they grew to trust eachother throught thick and thin is commendable. I trust these guys will have eachother's backs even moving forward. 2) The plot...I mean I'm such a sucker for a good game turn reality story so I easily like this one. Those games were incredible like sometimes I had a tight grip on my chair from the anxiety of what could happen and the way our leads and co. came through and fight was brilliant. My best were the games in the beginning which blew me away (great CGI) 3) Music: Let's just say I'm now addicted to that ending theme song 4) The chemistry and acting I put these two together because everyone had chemistry with eachother and the acting was well balanced. Definitely will be eyeing the FL actress.
Not so much Love 1) Plot and Characters: Yeah I said I loved it but also kinda dislike it especially from halfway through. The story felt stagnant and some of what should have been my Ahaaa moments were not delivered well. I really think if the drama was shorter, it could have been better. Also felt like the main leads characters were a bit monotonous. Even the supporting role characters had development so what happened to the leads. 2) Love Chemistry: As much as I loved the the friendships and all, I was not keen on the romance part of it. 3) Weak Villain: Now this was my biggest disappointment because I was waiting for the big reveal on why the villain was doing that and it was meehhh. I literally eye-rolled on the story about the daughter etc.
So thats some of my fav and not so fav review about the 19th floor.
Okay that man behind the scenes controlling the game is a true psychopath. Like he is getting pleasure derived from those poor peoples misery.... WTH. Okay I'm sad foe Qiang-ge but for real though....why are the people with no brain (no offense to their IQ) be the ones who want to play hero. If it was Gao Xiaun and Chun Yue who ended up in the bottom 2, at least they would use their wits to get out of there. Even DouDou would have tried.
Watched till ep 12 and it is told that they're having chips in their brain... Alright let's say they all got it…
So here is my theory. I think that maybe when they put on the VR set thingy on(not sure if it's the right word), they might have been injected with that chip. Maybe they were focused on the game that they didn't feel it... Just my guess
