I'm always searching for new bromance to watch and stumbled too many times on good series that had great bromance but no tag, do you have a list of c-dramas with bromance that didn't have the tag? If I can ask~
I love a good revenge drama, but I also enjoy series like this where the main character abide by the law and is firm on his own integrity; I think people criticizing Zhan Zhao's actions fail to grasp his character, he's a pure justice hero. plus, the fighting scenes are amazing & I'm loving the bromance between cat and rat. ;)
I had high expectations for this since I watched the trailer and the poster is amazing, but this has confusing moments, flat dialogues and one bad dead fish kiss. It felt like watching a Chinese production where they need to censor any sort of romantic undertones between the two male leads. The good points are the handsome male leads and that classic nostalgic vibe only Japanese productions have. Overall, wasted potential.
10/10 a masterpiece. It's not that hard to follow, the story is told by 3 point of views, the Mother, the Teacher, the Kids; if you don't understand the story on the first watch, re-watch it, there's a lot of symbolism and you need to pay attention to every single scene and listen well to all the dialogues. I think the ending is clearly an open ending, it's up to the audience to decide how this end.
I was waiting for this since it was announced in February, I had high expectations and I'm glad I wasn't disappointed. <3 Historical, Meiji era, samurai, action and many interesting characters, what more can I ask? I loved this. <3 I'm curious to know more about Enju (Nino fits enigmatic characters) and the Ainu character, he's so charismatic. <3 Gentosai reminded me so much of the eerie character of ''That Person'' from Gannibal... :,) personally the only let down was the reveal of the organizer, I was expecting someone more mysterious. š (idk maybe it's just me...)
your criticism would be valid if you didn't sound like a hater half of the time.
''Could have been great if Khemjira had been written better'' I strongly disagree. If you compare with the majority of Thai BL, it's a miracle we finally got a series with a script so well written and well executed. I read another your comment where you said you bought the novel, well I hope you will see Namping actually nailed the role of Khemjira, the series (and Namping) gave more personality to his character, because in the book Khemjira is more weak and bland.
I don't even bother reading bad comments or bad reviews because nothing will change the fact that for me this is a masterpiece and it was due time we bl fans got a series so beautiful, well made and crafted with great care. <3
1000/10 excellent. for me, this series has set a standard so high I think no other Thai bl will get close to this. Thanks to all the amazing cast and team for this masterpiece, never a dull or boring moment. Khemjira, you will forever have a place in my heart. <3
