Interesting new episode but something tell me I'll be more interested into the "spiritual connection" between Tian and Torfun than the actual love story (not a big fan of Earth's acting generally but maybe I'll be surprised ?)
Comments complaining about the lack of sense of the story when they are themselves making no sense because of their lack of attention to the plot...not saying the show doesn't have flaws...but those comments are not really credible....at least pay attention to the story and the clues....this is getting ridiculous...
Gosh, I miss Taiwanese Bls so much ! This one seems really nice ! Tropes don't bother me if the series is done well and this one starts well. I hope it'll be interesting until the end !
nice little series I like it a lot ! Fortunately I didn't take too much into account the rating and the comments here otherwise I'd have missed a really nice show lol...
Sometimes the scenes don't flow that well. It's a matter of acting (sometimes good sometimes seems a little "forced") and editing ? I don't know but it's true something doesn't totally click (lack of transition from one scene to another?). Franckly speaking, I wish the episodes were longer to give more time to build the suspense or extend the story, give more space to the feelings of the characters etc. However these scenes are not totally random I think. Also the end of the episode brings a new development to the plot. But it's refreshing to have a BL a little different from the usual BL with the school background. Thriller/action shows are more difficult to make I think than the usual romantic ones. Pace is even more important to those. But at least, they are trying something decent with the budget they have ?
I'm underwhelmed by this. Most of the actors lack charisma and come across like they are just there for the paycheck.…
Of course, the series has its flaws but I'm quite puzzled by some of the points you've made.
- Are people nowadays so desensitized towards serious themes (like drugs, prostitution, murder, sexual abuse, police corruption, etc. ) that they feel a series treating those themes is not enough "intense", "edgier", etc. ?
- Actors doing it for the paycheck ? Of course, as we all do when we work. We want to be paid and earn our life....
- The acting of MaxTul isn't that great ? Well, I wouldn't be so categorical, especially about Max. I find it quite "natural". However I agree that Max seems more at ease than Tul (who seems in some scenes awkward but still it's watchable). Concerning Max, I'm not sure you can analyse his character when he's switching between his bad/good side. He has a "grey" personality : there is not a switch but just another layer of his personality which is revealed with every new episode ?
To counter some comments below saying how this show is too slow, boring, etc., for me I appreciate the slowness…
Frankly speaking, I don't see it slow at all. I find it on the contrary quite quick (and maybe sometimes too quick) : quick on the romance, and a lot of stuff happening (succession of murders, drugs, police corruption, people disappearing....). If it goes quicker than this, we'll understand even less lol
I like the new episode. The series is still very interesting. The side characters are also really good and I think that's why the series is still engaging.
