The starting arc of the drama is of "no comments" importance to me, as it was just an okay pass with all the information it tried to convey, the relationships, fate-stuff, past life things (or the correlation between the godly couple and the main couple here) and the world building. So it wasn't exactly impressive but it wasn't a disaster either, just what I'll expect from an average TV rom-com drama series.
The main spotlight is what happens in the later arc of the drama, when quite literally stuff goes downhill. The story gets mashed up, the romance is abrupted into formation and all the fate related thingies also start to rot my brain cells. Maybe the there was some giffy with the direction here forth, but the abrupt change took me by utter surprise. Imagine a series which is well, good and has got you interested but then suddenly they change the cast. That's the abrupt change I'm talking about.
Not literally that, but the amount of change I felt was similar to what you'll feel in that case. This series was not really a disappointment (not that I had any expectations), but it just had me continuously saying, "Ummmm?" until it ended.
This show is so cheesy! It becomes hard to handle the more I watch. I am leaving it in my "ditched" list because this is one of those pointless shows that are hard to digest.
I wish they could have wrapped the little content that this drama has, in fewer episodes instead of dragging on for the sole purpose of making it look "natural" and "realistically paced". The main cast is boring, and with the unskillful looking acting and childlike psychological anatomies, they want to entertain adults? Gawds, ridiculous.
The so-called chemistry between the main leads is so vague on top of it. The girl as expected, is the super dumb and dense normie and the boy is also the super soft and tsundere handsome demon (oh that's an exaggeration, he's nothing like that instead he's a sweetheart) and the romance between them is also based on basic af tropes (like girl in trouble and ML comes to rescue and shit, while her crush ditches her.... etc. Honestly, could it get any worse?).
By the way, this series was recommended to me by YourWaifuGotNoJam [https://anilist.co/user/YourWaifuGotNoJam/] on Anilist.
I have left this series unrated only because perhaps all of that judgement is what you will brand as my impatience, narrow-mindedness and/or unpopular personal preference. But to let you know (assuming you disagree with me), I am a sucker for BLs-
One can see why I disliked this drama so much
I liked how intricate the storyline was with respect to Karthik's love life, but the movie overall was such a let down
OH MY GAWD. One of my best loved webtoons getting a drama adaptation? I am all in for this!
Although pretty un-eye-catching in the start, the display of terrific acting skills and sentiment and conveyance of the meaning of 'love' in it's own language, has earned a special place in my heart. The lead couple's pairing and their relationship progress at the end (literally) was like, muaah! I always end replaying the last 20 minutes of the movie every time I re-watched it.
As a movie, there is not much to it except the acting and music (that too, not all of it). The thing which many people like it for is the dramatic yet touching background music (you read that right) and Sravani. I've met many people and seen several characters in my life, but this woman.. This girl Sravani has been the only one so far who has ever reminded me of Naruto, my best boy and of course, Purna reminded me of Sasuke, the make-up kid.
Like, it's really funny how much more vast the diversity and genius of South Indian cinema is than any other Indian culture. I loved the movie~
Must-watch!! Although not everyone might love it as much as me. I loved the series because it was not a cliché romance or cliché high school slice-of-life and contained vital pieces of memory and knowledge which often go unnoticed by many whom I've witnessed watch this (with me, or through social). The characters were prone to change, teen-like, hilarious and understanding. They weren't all :v_tone2:godly:v_tone2: and looked pretty human most of the time—I hope you get me~
When We Were Young is a refreshing, enjoyable and healthily-entertaining watch. All in all, I recommend it; not to everyone, but a must!
I enjoyed this! Except some of "flying" scenes which the Anime portrayed very well (of course), the entire movie was a fairly entertaining treat and I liked it. I especially liked that Raku's harem was made into a jolly friend circle where everyone appreciated earnest sacrifice and were pure and understanding characters. This changed the original story a bit, but no doubt it was a great watch. I was laughing throughout (well, deliberately leaving out the cringe) :joy::fire:
I'm giving this a slightly higher rating than what I meant to because this was my first ever watching of a live-action adaptation of an Anime~
This drama explores the many aspects of school life beautifully and comically, along with of course, the perils and bitter-sweetness of teenage. Yezi's imagination in all episodes has been portrayed in way which will crack everyone up, eventually if not immediately. However, the first season showed more of Ye muxi's (or Yezi, as her brother calls her) relationship with other students of her class and how they overcame many difficulties posed by the other "higher up" classes; yeah, they followed a class hierarchy too. It focuses on how all the students of her class, although initially diverse, ended up finding solace in each other and became united. Cliché way to put it, but it was undoubtedly adorable. I especially loved the bickering between Yezi and Liao Danyi, it reminds me of Tom & Jerry~
The second season was filled with these imaginations of Yezi, like the class fight regarding wearing of the school uniforms was depicted in a group of 6+ episodes. Surely, one needs more than only imagination to pull that off. Also this season ended with a heartbreaking cliffhanger to all shippers of Yezi and Liao Danyi, but again [read the highlight at the end]. The scene where, they indirectly apologize to each other and assure each other that they now understand the former's situation and problems, was heart-touching on an elite level I tell you. It showed how strong their feelings were for each other. My true Tom & Jerry :star_struck:
Although I really don't want to, I have to give it 9 stars. This would be because despite being a great story, for some people it could become boring if they don't appreciate sprouting romances, as was the case with the two leads. Still, as they already mentioned that it wouldn't be one, I would only reduce one heart. Nevertheless, The Big Boss would remain one of my C-favorites!~
In the beginning of the very first episode of this favorite drama of mine, Yezi mentions that this isn't a love story. And true it wasn't one.
If only life were as honey as was shown in this movie, I would have killed for it.
It was a eye-candy, literally. The animation or whatever it was, was beautiful and the story was also painfully believable. The depiction was all interesting and realistic to the point of me rating it 10 hearts!~
Edit: I'll be changing my rating to 8 stars instead of 10, because I realized it's not great to be high on emotion all the time when it comes to ratings. Lol?
The movie was an okay-pass. Nothing too catchy and/or flashy. Good to know that Bollywood has at least some hope.
I loved the show. It popped up on my recommendations screen and instantly had me hooked. What I didn't know was that I'd be much more than hooked with this show: I love it. I am not a huge fan of gore and zombies but after watching this, I am rethinking my preferences. The fantastic graphics and props added to the terribly mind-blowing acting and made it an awesome combo! Still I regret watching it all in a day because now I'll have to wait a year for the next season.
Never mind, anything for preference and quality shows :pleading_face::wink:
