Una joya escondida

Me encontré con esta serie por casualidad y me ha encantado. Una historia de amor compleja, nos da el marco para instalar el verdadero sentido de esta serie: invitarnos a una reflexión muy profunda sobre el sentido de la vida. "Todos hemos deseado morir en algún momento", es una frase que aparece en la historia y que resuena en el fondo del corazón. Esta serie nos muestra un viaje sobre el encuentro inesperado con el sentido de la existencia, el deseo y la ilusión, en un contexto donde todo aparece irremediablemente perdido. Es una reflexión sobre la decisión de morir, sobre la angustia que nos puede presentar la vida y sobre la sobrevivencia. De verdad, es preciosa. Con actuaciones muy buenas, con un guión potente y una OST muy precisa, ha sido un agrado verla.

Rompedora

Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo es una de estas series que coge tu corazón y lo destroza en tantos pedacitos que ya no puedes volver a reconstruirlo.

Con unos personajes complejos, profundamente humanos, que demuestran cuán fácil todo puede ir por el camino equivocado en la vida y qué consecuencias esto tiene.

Tanto Nurim como Seon son grandes actores y sus personajes son creíbles, incomprensibles a ratos, llenos de aristas y poliédricos.

Juyeong es una green flag, pero tremenda dependencia emocional...

Quiero más, la verdad.

Exigirle más sería hasta injusto

Las producciones que se saltan el ban chino y consiguen salir publicadas, aunque sea en formatos tan reducidos como esta, se merecen todos mis respetos.

Ahora bien, es lo que es. Una producción limitada con un concepto al que ya nos tienen acostumbradas este tipo de formatos.

Saltarse tabúes, replanteárselos...

Un poco más de lo mismo.

Очень мудрая и тяжелая дорама. Наревелась, пол дорамы злилась на гг, в конце в нем увидела себя. хорошо, что и у гг и у меня ХЭ. Только Корея может делать такие уникальные мудрые вещи, где все гармонично и прекрасно.

Meu pobre por 100 dias

100 Days My Prince é um drama que me conquistou desde o primeiro episódio, mesmo que eu não estivesse dando nada pra ele. O drama segue a linha típica dos dramas históricos, mas consegue te deixar animado e te surpreender com os acontecimentos e reviravoltas mesmo assim. O drama tem um elenco muito bom, todos os personagens são muito bem construídos, desde os protagonistas, até os secundários e os vilões. A química do casal protagonista é muito boa, até mesmo nas versões criança que são uns fofos, mesmo que apareçam pouquíssimo (sim, eu amo e defendo o clichê de amor de infância!).
O enredo é bem interessante, de mostrar a história tanto no palácio quanto na aldeia, porque enquanto as cenas da aldeia eram muito engraçadas e divertidas, as cenas do palácio eram sempre angustiantes e me deixavam com raiva, e isso é muito bom para manter a dinâmica do drama. É claro que as minhas partes preferidas são da aldeia, e os personagens da aldeia são os melhores também, eu morria de rir em todas as cenas.
A construção do casal principal é muito boa, é tão divertido acompanhar o desenvolvimento do relacionamento deles. O protagonista masculino é um ícone, principalmente na versão pobre (inclusive a Nam Ji Hyun adora acolher ricos sem memória e trata-los como pobres , não é? hahaha).
Eu não gosto de triângulos amorosos, costumo odiar muito esse clichê nos dramas, mas aqui, eu não me incomodei porque não é algo que tome muito tempo na trama, eles não perdem tempo com esse clichê desnecessário. E o personagem secundário não era insuportável, na verdade ele é até importante para que os problemas sejam resolvidos, então acho que essa é uma característica positiva do drama.
Adoro a comédia, gosto muito de como a briga pelo trono é cheia de reviravoltas e intrigas, os plot twists surpreendentes e o desenvolvimento do drama é surpreendente também. Mas é claro, SPOILER, precisava daquela enrolação no último episódio? sinto que foi algo meio desnecessário prolongar aquilo até os últimos segundos, até porque eu gostaria de ver o casamento deles. Enfim, eu gostei muito desse drama, me surpreendeu bastante todo o enredo e eu não esperava me divertir tanto como me diverti assistindo, acho que esse drama me salvou de entrar em uma ressaca dorameira.

Un gran personaje secundario, a quién le permitieron brillar.

Dong Jae, lo amé desde que lo vi en Stranger, es un personaje que interpreta la condición humana muy bien, quizas no es el mejor show del mundo, pero si se merece su 9/10, se desallora en el mismo mundo de Stranger y nuestro protagonista sabe lucirla de forma increible, si de verdad de gusto su persona en las 2 temporadas anteriores, te RECOMIENDO al MIL que lo veas, es una gran historia, entrenida y bien escrita y actuada.

Boa construção

eu me questionei muito sobre o plot ao passar do meio da história pro final, mas o autor conseguiu administrar bem os conflitos e trazer um final mais que satisfátorio, ainda fico meio duvidoso sobre algumas tomadas de iniciativa e motivações dos personagens, alem de escolhas estranhas para desenvolver alguns conflitos, mas tudo se encaixou, mesmo que fique confuso a narrativa em muitos momentos kkkk Mas é uma boa hiostória, te prende bem e muito original, gostaria de mais ep para desenvolver esse plot, eu vejo facilmente ele como um drama longo que requer mais tempo para conseguir contar o andar, mas ja surpreende com o pouco que teve, muito bom ver como os Bl´s coreanos vem ganhando mais carinho e espaço, um dos melhores do ano.

Throwback to 2015 em 2021!

É fofinho, mas não passa muito disso. O romance foi muito parecido a outros dramas mais antigos (My Love From Another Star foi logo o primeiro exemplo que me veio à mente). Gostei muito mais do casal secundário do que o principal (o que nem sempre é bom sinal).
O cast é de loucos! Montes de caras já conhecidas, tirando a Shin Dohyun e o Kang Taeoh, e o Dawon (SF9) que me remoeu os miolos ao tentar descobrir de onde o conhecia. Houve alguns erros de produção (um shot com neve quando a rua estava imaculadamente limpa a poucos metros dali) mas as paisagens eram lindissimas.

Props: para o Seo Inguk, filho da p*** gostoso!
Curiosidade: Estava à espera de demorar mais mas encontrei um bom ritmo para ver a maior quantidade possivel de dramas num mês. Vamos ver se é em Novembro que bato o recorde!

"Death" as a synonym for misfortune for LGBT+ people in a society without laws to protect them?

He's not part of the vanguard of Thai BL drama writers and directors, but Boonyawat Thongtong knows how to film and how to tell. He was able to demonstrate it in the specials 'Views of Love: Love from the Sea Level', 'Views of Love: Heart Land' and 'Auto-Focused Love', all from 2016.
That's why some mistakes, terrible, bitter, hurt in the framework of the script, the way the story is woven together and in tying up its loose ends, as well as the staging of 'Grey Raibow', a BL drama filmed that same year, about all when he seemed to have conquered the task, which would reach, no doubt, quotas of excellence. In fact, he has not been behind the cameras since then.
Despite the performances, the work in the editing room and the photographic work, already in the final stages, a series that from the first scene runs like honey on a flake, powerfully drawing the attention of the viewer who screams euphorically with passion and delight, The script throws into the ring some ideas that do not have a development and justification, which I will comment on later.
'Grey Rainbow' tell us a classic love romance between two boys, best friends. However, what sets it apart is the fact that it explores themes that other Thai BL dramas ignore or do not address in such depth, such as the process of self-discovery, coming out, the problems faced by the LGBT community in that country due to not having laws that protect them, homophobia, family dynamics and parents' acceptance of their children's sexual orientation, especially if we take into account that it was released in 2016 when these issues were considered much more taboo than they still are today.
The series introduces us to Nuea (Rattanamongkol Nutchapon), an energetic and outgoing university student, and Porsche (Hongladaromp Kasidej), a sensitive and introverted young man, who for two years has secretly developed feelings for his dorm and study partner.
After the first two episodes we have a well-established couple in love. Nuea has also discovered his sexuality after being exposed to Jane, his girlfriend, who has been suspecting for some time that Nuea's feelings for his friend are more than those of a simple friend, and after leaving the period that he himself calls of "confusion", in a beautiful, tender and moving scene of a Thai boxing match, in a ring, culminates with a kiss and Nuea's confession of love to Porsche. By then, the sexual tension between the two had already reached unimaginable levels.
From the third episode onwards, the series gains in nuances: here we see Nuea living and working in the family resort, in the mountains of Chiang Mai, in a picturesque and paradisiacal setting with an elephant sanctuary as a background. Porsche arrives there after leaving his home in Bangkok after arguing with his father about his desire not to practice law.
The elephant sanctuary is the perfect place for Nuer and Porsche to rekindle their romance after graduating from university. The scene of correspondence between the two boys is beautiful through small love notes written on a paper plane that, at night, were sent to both sides of a terrace where they both slept to be as close as possible, given the impossibility to occupy the same bedroom so as not to raise suspicions about their secret relationship.
This will also be the moment when Nuea's parents learn about the relationship between the two young people. Once the initial surprise of rejection of their child's sexual orientation has been assimilated, parents show love for their child and accept him as he is, always keeping his happiness and that of the new member of the family as a priority. His emotions seem genuine, realistic.
Now, there are several points that fail to convince me and I would like to present:
1- Jane's arrival at the elephant sanctuary: it is true that her presence seeks to provide drama and tension by putting a new test to the couple who have just begun to even talk about marriage, when same-sex weddings are still illegal in Thailand even today. The important thing is that the objective of its late incorporation is to fulfill one of the struggles of the members of the LGBT+ community and present in the series: the possibility that two people of the same gender can adopt children. Jane dies, and this makes it possible for Nuea and Porsche to adopt their daughter. But how could they legalize adoption? Today she is a girl, but tomorrow, when she grows up and tries to look for a job, or a position at a university, or tries to get a driver's license or a marriage license, how can she proceed if she does not have legal documents to do so?
2- At one point, Nuea asks Jane: "Is the girl yours and...' daughter?". Why are you asking this question? Do you suspect it could be his? Is she trying to determine if it is from Watt, the young man with whom Jane begins an affair after separating from Nuea, or from another man? What good would it do for him to know if Jane had other relationships besides the one she knew with Watt? Do you want to tell us that he had sexual relations with Jane? It may well be: they are both young, they are in a dating relationship, they share many hours a day together, but nothing indicates that their bond includes sex: they live in separate residences, their meetings are in the middle of the university or public spaces... Anyway, the scope and reasons for this question are not understandable.
3- The series touches on another complex and tricky topic: corruption and how rich businessmen violate the laws. In this sense, Sam, a businessman who has a business near the Nuea properties, tries to obstruct a public river for his benefit, which also flows through the properties of Nuea's parents and where the elephants bathe and are exhibited to tourists. And although Porsche, as legal advisor of the hotel complex, directs the steps seeking justice, which leads him to suffer a homophobic attack, there is no conclusive closure on this issue.
4- Interesting to see how Nuea cross-dressers as a woman, to imitate Jane and thus ensure that the girl does not cry in the absence of her mother. Cross-dressing is a topic rarely covered in Thai BL series, and the actor is also convincing when representing this facet of his character.
5- Nuea's refusal to continue her relationship with Porsche to avoid suffering for his mother. Although he seems to soon forget about the issue, Nuea is not consistent with the struggle of the majority of homosexuals when it comes to facing this problem. Days before, he himself was in this dilemma, because initially his parents, when they found out about his sexuality, did not accept it. What would have happened if Porsche told you the same thing?
6- Porsche's father was reluctant to accept his son's homosexuality. It is true, he remained firm and the mother collaborated by telling her husband that if she maintained her position she would stay with Porsche, implying that she was willing to leave the marital home, but soon we see the father accepting his son, without living that arduous and difficult process of acceptance, especially for a homophobic person who hides behind shame in the face of "what will they say." Of course, he will tell Porsche that it is still too early to take Nuea to Bangkok.
7- I would have liked a happy ending, let's say, a happy and timely closing in the moments when the two boys took their wedding photos, recounting emotional moments that reflect the romance of the protagonists. However, the director and screenwriter choose to kill Nuea. If his death is physical, as everything seems to indicate, I would have liked it to have been much more dramatic, moving and profound, and not through a snap of his fingers on Posrche's part, as if he knew in advance that he was going to die, to freeze the image while Nuea collapsed and died in the middle of her wedding; and another snap of the finger to restart filming while family members and those present throw themselves at the young man's lifeless body.
8- But Nuea's death can be symbolic, and in this way it connects with the supreme objective of the series: to denounce the lack of a law that protects Thai LGBT+ people. In this sense, Nuea's death would represent the death of the members of this human group as they do not have real protection against the harassment and discrimination of a heteronormative, patriarchal and homophobic society.
9- I am not fluent in the Thai language, but while the final credits are rolling, a text may mention that Nuea suffers from a health problem, which caused her death; but for the purposes of the script, this element is not taken into account or incorporated. Therefore, the sequence is not dramatically valid. We will always have in contrast to a young man of about 25 years old, healthy, strong, vigorous, who never had a toothache, who meets his death on the happiest day of his life. I would only explain it to myself, with difficulty, if, I repeat, his death were symbolic: "death" as a synonym for misfortune, misfortune, is the end of LGBT+ people as long as they do not find support in society through laws that protect and grant them the same rights as non-LGBT+ people.
Therefore, the main problem with 'Grey Rainbow' is that we never understand Nuea's death. It is not organic how they tell us. This is due, in large part, to the notable deficiencies in the composition at the writing level.
Despite all these mistakes, the series is recommended.

Epica ed avvincente storia di guerra e di amore, ma soprattutto di guerra, con grandi battaglie, spargimento di sangue e grandi storie di amicizie votate alla realizzazione di una nazione forte e giusta.
A me è piaciuta molto, alcuni personaggi (come la nutrice del Generale che si acceca da sola e non capisco perché) e passaggi (il Generale e la Principessa di lasciano per 4-5 anni nonostante il loro amore immenso ... boh ...) non mi hanno convinto, ma in complesso è scritta e realizzata bene con attori bravissimi e bellissimi.

Lighter and Princess - Perfeito!

O que dizer sobre esse c-drama? O casal exala química do começo ao fim. Toda vez que o Li Xun olhava para a Zhu Yun eu suspirava hahahahah
As músicas são simplesmente perfeitas, até pesquisei quase todas, porque todas se encaixavam tão lindamente em cada contexto da história.
O desenvolvimento do drama é muito bom, mas lá pelo episódio 20 fiquei meio cansada e ansiosa para que chegasse logo para o tempo atual da história para ver todo o caos e a vingança que poderia surgir, mas valeu a pena esperar.
A única coisa que me deixou bem incomodada foi a maneira que o Gao Jian Hong se tornou um vilão digno de puro ódio e o seu final foi ser livre e longe de todas as consequências finais dos seus atos e apenas o Fang Zhi Jing pagou por algumas de suas ações.

Actores supremos, guión mejorable

Acabado este bl que podría haber sido, según mi opinión otra joya de los bl coreanos pero se ha quedado en algo a medio camino. Lo que me ha gustado: la química entre la pareja principal, las actuaciones de todos los actores, la música maravillosa, el final feliz, la sanación y redención de los errores pasados, el tono más realista que otros bl.

Lo que no me ha gustado: la narración y la construcción del guión, las conversaciones que se me hacían crípticas (alguien ha entendido la conversación por teléfono del abogado con el protagonista?) , los interrogantes sin resolver (en el fondo no se ha explicado bien porque la pareja se separó, el tema de la llamada a la polícía, la separación, la suplantación como profesor? , lo de la academia está confuso también, todo el tema de suspender el examen de la universidad se explica de forma nefasta, los flashbacks son confusos, el ir y venir del pasado al presente hace que el espectador se pierda , supongo que la complejidad del personaje principal requería más minutos más capítulos . A veces he pensado que era un tema de los subtítulos en castellano pero también he seguido con mis interrogantes al cambiar los subtítulos a inglés, es como si la directora hubiera querido explicarse mal expresamente, pero eso a mi me saca de la historia, a mi me gustan las historias bien explicadas las disfruto más y me ha dado pena que no me gustase porque ellos son una monada y actúan muy bien. No la volvería a ver.

🎉A comunidade LGBT+ na Coreia do Sul está ganhando mais visibilidade, mesmo que enfrente resistência, o fato de os conservadores estarem falando sobre eles e sua reação, mostra que estão reconhecendo sua existência, isso é um sinal de progresso, mostra que a comunidade LGBT+ está fazendo barulho e está sendo ouvido.
No ano de 2023 já houve uma "polêmica" sobre a série "A Time Called You" onde os personagens dos atores Ahn Hyoseop e Rowoon demonstraram interesse romântico mútuo ❤ lembro bem que foi uma enxurrada de críticas aos atores, muitas delas preconceituosas e agressivas, os atores deram depoimentos de apoio a comunidade LGBT+ e depois continuaram com as suas carreiras, acredito que essa participação deles foi um passo a frente para dar visibilidade aos romances homoafetivos de maneira inclusiva, 🥰no caso de "Love in the big city" por ser totalmente voltada para um personagem Gay e HIV+ as atenções e reações positivas e negativas ficaram concentradas, no ator Nam Yoon su o qual já admirava e passei ser fã, a história do Go Yeong mostra toda perversidade e sofrimento que são submetidas as pessoas LGBT+, o preconceito que começa na família, os absurdos pelo o que o protagonista passou foram descritos de uma maneira a fazer qual quer um chorar, a forma que contraiu o HIV e entre outras situações absurdas e a pior situação foi a do relacionamento onde o personagem serviu de "cobaia" para um estudo experimental do "namorado" sobre homossexualidade, destroçou meu coração, o ponto positivo mostrado a todo momento foi o amor dos amigos para todos os momentos loucos, muito loucos e sombrios a amizade dos quatro foram um oásis na vida desse cara, como uma "desajustada" e um gay não poderiam dar certo? e o final onde ele encontra alguém onde Go Yeong pode ser ele mesmo, mostrando todo seu amargor, egoísmo, sensibilidade e fragilidade, é pura emoção é a vida dentro de um relacionamento real que foi muito bem descrita.
O que me incomodou muito foi o final medíocre, foi "mais do mesmo de sempre" igual ao da maioria das histórias Gay's onde o personagem está fadado a ser triste, melancólico e solitário, o roteirista perdeu uma imensa oportunidade de fazer uma história positiva e redentora ele não se esforçou para ser inovador preferiu ser clichê, o que é uma pena e o que seria uma obra de arte terminou no marasmo e monotonia uma profunda mesmice.
São os pontos de vista de alguém que reconhece que não sabe de nada mas que sabe do que gosta e do que não gosta.
