À cause de toi 2020 (2020)

Questa è una serie che mette davvero poco sul piatto, e il risultato è banalmente quello che è. Breve e senza spessore, non presenta una trama che si possa chiamare tale. Giusto una panoramica su una situazione, tra l'altro per molti versi assurda, e che ha come unico obiettivo la possibilità di garantire - nel breve tempo a disposizione - le scene volute tra le tre coppie di attori. Non ci sono drammi, non ci sono passaggi memorabili...e di conseguenza, nemmeno un gran finale. E' giusto uno spaccato con degli attori esteticamente piacevoli e, soprattutto per il pairing costituita dal primogenito e da Lin Xun, una buona chimica di coppia. Ma per il resto, povertà assoluta...di contenuti e di intenti, di credibilità e coerenza, di investimento e attenzione. La sufficienza la spuntano gli attori, soprattutto i due già citati e che, pur essendo questa una prova mediocre dovuta alla mediocrità stessa della serie, voglio pensare e sperare di poterli rivedere cimentarsi in un drama qualitativamente migliore dove dimostrare quelle capacità che qui si sono - forse - solo intraviste.

This drama was such a pleasant surprise in the begining of 2020, I recommned it !

Acting/Cast -
First of all, I will talk about the two main leads, in others words, the main couple because it is clearly the strongest point of this drama. They were simply beautiful, Their chemistry was so nice, cute and fun. Their acting was enjoyable, it was very well done. I also have to mention Lee Si Kang's acting was very remarkable among them, because we cannot avoid the fact he stands out the most among them, so I have to mention him especially. But the two main leads were very good. I enjoy all of their scenes, I've rewatched their scenes multiple times to be honest. The side couples were okay, but some of their scenes were irrelevant in my opinion.

The story -
The story was quite good and fun. I enjoy the story and the plot. Since the lenght is short, the story was not meant to be the central point of the drama, so it was not particularly brilliant but it was good, so I have no complain.

The music -
It was okay.

Rewatch value -
The fact that each episode's lenght is around 15-20 min makes it easy to re watch it wathever the reason is. So my rating for the rewatch value is a solid 9.

Overall, I recommend it, like I said earlier, it was a pleasant surprise and the strongest point of the drama (aka the main couple) will cover up the weakest point of the drama, so it is worth to watch it !

The story is quite simple. The only way to alleviate it is through screenplay and acting. Throughout the series, it seemed that they could add more episodes and let the relationship between all three couples evolve. It seemed they tried to complete it haphazardly. The first couple Yuan Jung Chen x Lin Xun hogged most of the air time yet, their story wasn't elaborate. The other two couples Yuan Jun Dao x Yang Xiang and Yuan Jun Ping x Yan Xue got less air time and we know nothing how it worked for them. I understand that they wanted to keep the series short so at least the screen time of each couple could have been elaborated showing their relationship evolve and how they fell for each other. It's no doubt that all three brothers inherited the dominating nature of their father so finding their way to get what they want is a common trait shown but the way they all dealt with their individual potential partner was different which is briefly portrayed and could have got more time. Each episode was around 30 mins approximately so it seems they could have made the episodes longer. There are so many possibilities in the series that it felt they didn't quite do the justice to the story. The casting was excellent, the actors looked like the characters but the acting between couples is a bit awkward. Perhaps they didn't get much time to set up off-screen chemistry. The series seems rushed. I did watch it twice but only to properly grasp the essence of the story. I will let the viewers decide on how they want to judge it. For me, it's worth a watch but don't expect much out of it.

Too short

I actually really liked the story and all the brothers/their ships. The real issue for me was how short the episodes where. They tried to shove a LOT into 15 min episodes. Three brother and three different relationship in such a short time I think does work against the show. So it does feel a bit rushed and the relationships would have been better with a bit more depth and time devoted to them. I did laugh a lot though (especially the oldest brother, so ridiculous) and I would totally recommend. I'd be up for another season... I just wish they would extend it to 30 minutes at least.

Fun but not deep

This was a cute show and I did have fun watching it, but it is really too rushed to be a huge success. The episodes are 15 minutes (I think) but have a full intro song which is super not needed. Other shows that I’ve seen that have the short episodes have done just a quick like, MAYBE 20 second intro so you don’t feel that’s it’s a waste of time, but with such a short episode having 1 min 20 seconds of intro is just disappointing.

Casting for this show was great, I loved all the actors, even the ones who didn’t get as much of a focus. I really enjoyed the characters, even though we didn’t really get much on their backstories or motivations, especially the main couple.

The show just needed to be longer honestly, that would have fixed most of my issues with it. Main couple seemed to fall for each other out of nowhere, especially Lin Xun. Jun Cheng had a few moments of “why is my heart beating so fast” that led up to him confessing his feelings, but Lin Xun I feel like went from not liking him that way in any capacity to suddenly dating him?? It didn’t really click for me.

As for the side couples, I liked them! Jun Dao was pretty toxic at times though, the one scene where he yells at Yang Xiang made me really upset. But the two of them obviously had feelings for each other so after he immediately apologized I was hesitantly back on board. Also YANG XIANG being actually bisexual???? We love to see it and we especially love it when the character explicitly says it. That made me really happy. Jun Ping was also a sweetheart, the first scene of him and Yan Yue was very cute and we could already see that they liked each other.

However, the female character in this show was trash. She literally sexually assaulted Yang Xiang and then tried to put the moves on Jun Ping as well?? This woman is a predator and she should have been left out of the show.

I would love a sequel to this show to expand more on how the characters adjust to being in definitive relationships. Does Jun Cheng go back to Korea? If he does, does Lin Xun go with him? His character says he wants to finish college on time, so do they go long distance instead?? I have so many questions!!

A light short drama worth watching

As I remember I've watched this drama at the end of last year when I finished *some other drama* and was waiting for *another drama* to get episode update. I hope this isn't a big spoiler? so we know there's three sons, this is a Taiwanese drama, and I was like "okay so I'm expecting to hear them speak in Taiwanese" and it was already past midnight for me when I decided to watch it, so...

I started watching the drama and when I first heard one of them speaking in Korean I didn't even realized lol, I guess my brain just ignored it, but another sentence and I was confused, I thought my brain was playing tricks on me lol.

So back to the drama, for me this is a short drama worth watching! It doesn't have a DEEP DEEP meaning and a plot, it's a light drama you can watch in one night :) not every BL drama has to be long, nerve-wrecking and college based. Sometimes we don't have to look for a deep meaning in dramas, just can just let ourselves enjoy and not overthink :)

now let me explain my rating, it was a pretty decent drama, but it's not something I can give 10/10 to

That's my opinion on this drama :D

ALL IN THE FAMILY!!!

When I finished the series, my first reaction was: Poor Mr. Yuan, he won’t have any grandchildren. Second reaction: Poor girl, he didn’t get any of the brothers. They don’t like her wares. Haha!

What’s memorable in this series is that kiss by the seaside. That was really picturesque.

The actors look good and acted well, too.

On the whole, I like the premise of the series, but in the end I found something lacking – even though the loose ends have been neatly tied up in the finale.

Like – that Evil Second Uncle in Episode 1. What ever happened to that plot line? Why did they put it there in the first place when it wasn’t even pursued? He was just gone from the series after the appearance!

Also, when the henchmen of Evil Second Uncle was running after Eldest Son Yuan, he accidentally bumped into Lin Xun, who turned out to be the “missing son” his father wanted them to find! That’s too much of a coincidence, I think. Does it mean that the Evil Second Uncle and Lin Xun live near each other? Seems contrived, this scene.

Also, why did Youngest Yuan get mad at his bestie when he (bestie) told his sister that he (Youngest Yuan) was a f*ckboy – when he doesn’t even want his bestie’s sister? Obviously, bestie said this to his sister just to get her off Youngest Yuan’s back. That reaction was eyebrow raising to me. Another contrived plot device to reach that “I can’t live without you” line.

I also think the actor who played the Youngest Yuan was miscast. He’s too white for the role. The actor who played his bestie looks more like a Yuan. They should have changed roles.

Little things like those made this series made the series lose points for me. Initially, I thought this will get a 9 or 9.5 from me, but in the end… it got only an 8. Too bad, because it looked so promising at the beginning. If even had the potential to be a perfect 10 BL. But, alas, it was not.

10 episodes is too short

The story is great, the actors did a wonderful job, I liked the music and the plot made me want to know more but of course everything has it's flaws.
In the last two episodes I felt it being rushed. Things coming out of no where like, Jun Dao and Yang Xiang making out was kind of random. Jun Ping's and Yue Rong's relationship was a little confusing. Jun Cheng kissed Lin Xun and Lin Xun acted like Jun Cheng never kidnapped him??? Also I would have liked to see when Lin Xun actually started to like Jun Cheng because one moment Lin Xun treats him as someone who annoyes him and in the other when they kissed, he looks like he has been waiting for that to happen.
That's why I wish it were longer, especially when the episodes are less than 20 minutes. 10 episodes aren't enough for such a great story. The ending was nice at least.
I'm not sure this review will help you but I hope it gives you an idea of what to expect.
Have a nice day.

La vería de vuelta

Si digo de que se trataba la verdad que estaría mintiendo. Solo me acuerdo que va de tres historias en paralelo de tres hermanos que se enamoran de diferentes personajes pintorescos.
Es una linda serie en el sentido de que sirve para el fin que está creada. Su trama es simple (chico rico se enamora de chico pobre), los personajes se van demostrando cariño de manera medio rápida pero acorde con el tiempo que dura la serie y la verdad que me acuerdo del final porque están todos alrededor de una mesa comiendo y siendo ellos mismos, felices.
Ah, y creo que había un quilombo con algo de la familia de los chabones ricos o algo así pero la verdad que mirenla porque les va a gustar y de paso se enteran de como iba eso.
Yo capaz que la re-miré, por lo menos para acordarme los nombres de los personajes lpm.
