Triad Princess (2019)

The drama has an open ending.
There are questions left unanswered such as;
- Are they together?
- If they're together what happens to his career, what happens to her gang?
- Why was the second male lead sitting in that room in the end?
etc. etc.

The plot was good. I liked how it was different, you would expect the gender roles to be switched. I love the girl badass character. I really wanted the second male lead to be with her, I was expecting her to open up a bit after seeing his sincerity, but noooo, the male lead had to ruin everything!! Arggg!
The acting was superb.

Definitely would watch a season two!

the production was good, I can't complain .
I also say that the performance was incredible, it would be a sin if I complained.

I love the actors, I loved the characters.

Of course, not everything is perfect, I can't lie, but what a drama that doesn't have a single flaw.

So in conclusion, I recommend...

I say it's worth watching, maybe it's bad for some, but for me it was good.

This is just my opinion, you better watch it and have your own opinion.

I don't know what to say, because I think everyone has their own opinion.

So I was very skeptical when starting this drama because I had seen it's trailer and although it wasn't bad, it also didn't leave much to the imagination. At last I watched it since it has like 6 episodes of 40 mins. each (which seemed reasonable since I had watched other 50 eps long series before). So I picked it up and was surprised to find it quiet entertaining.
This is the first drama of Jasper Liu that I have watched. I had browsed his other dramas before but none of the plotlines seemed interesting enough. Regardless his acting is on point and his chemistry with Eugenie is perfect. I have seen Eugenie's previous drama behind your smile where she plays a naive, rich girl that fell from grace which is the complete opposite of her role here. I loved her portrayal of a Triad princess. The fight sequences were awesome and her whole persona stole the show.
The only disappointment was that there were no action sequences with the two MLs together which seemed essential to me somehow (they had long talks and she was mostly fangirling which took away from her badass gangster vibe).
The side stories were not overly engaging but I didn't really mind it either. Some of the side characters were actually very funny.
All in all it was a good enough series to watch. Also based on that ending I think there will be a season 2. Lets see....

This is one of the first C-dramas, I decided to watch during, since I was looking for something to watch. Sometimes you end up scrolling on Netflix, and so I happened to come across this.

It was actually really interesting, but I find it funny and a little weird how a actor plays themselves though, but not themselves? But it was a interesting story with the main character being a real like bad-ass girl! I liked that,

But I kinda wish, there was a better ending to the story. Hopefully another season comes out because it kinda just ended with a cliffhanger and then nothing after that.

I can't tell if the acting is good because I don't understand the original language and that is probably the only thing that would make it comprehensible. The sets are OK, the music is not annoying so far, but the acting is mediocre -- too goopy fan-girl nonsense and hammy scenery chewing by secondary characters.

What makes it stupendously wretched is that this show has possibly the absolute worst dubbing I have ever heard, especially when contrasted with the frequently weirdly different subtitles. I originally tried listening to it in English, which was clearly drawn from cheesy 1970's B list movies, and it was every bit as tacky and outdated as you might imagine. So, I switched to subtitles, and that's where it got even worse. Composite example: dubbed "Your old lady talked trash to my daughter! C'mon, man, get with the program!" versus subtitle "I am sorry my child was rude. I will pay for your mackerel." Or worse, dub "Yo, your sister be shakin' her booty just fine!" versus subtitle "Your dog just peed on my favorite shoes! I demand satisfaction!" OK -- those were not in the parts of the show I watched, I have blanked out on actual words but accurately reflected the dissonance between them - and the cheesiness. I can't bring myself to listen to it again because it's so awful and just WRONG.

That being said, as a result, it is transformed into a lower quality production than "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" which I begged my Dad to take me to see when I was a tot, and it was at the matinee. The dialogue was immensely lame, the costumes of school play shoddiness, and the props were either spray painted or covered in tin foil. It was so monumentally dumb that my tiny self asked my Dad if we could leave at intermission, and he said,"Why wait?" and we bugged out right away. I advise you to do the same with this show.
