Too Boring, and Janice Wu is better in modern drama than historical one.

Faithful is a historical Cdrama about revenge starting Janice Wu. I like Janice Wu, but lately, her projects were not been interesting. This is the first historical drama that I watched from her. I think she acts better in modern drama than in historical costume.

The Synopsis: A young woman named Ru Lan, who put her reputation on the line to air her grievances, dies in vain. Seven years later, nine people inextricably linked to the Ru Lan case get together for different reasons, thus beginning a story of revenge. Disregarding her good friend Meng Wan's objections, the young Lin Ru Lan risked her reputation to sue Wu Lian, the master of Xiu Liu. After many unsuccessful attempts, Ru Lan, who finds no place to hear her grievances, finally commits suicide to prove her innocence. Meng Wan bides her time for seven years and assembles nine people to seek justice for her friend. In the process, the struggles of a young girl buried in time gradually emerge.

This drama is so slow and boring that I barely passed 5 episodes. I am dropping it because it didn't intrigue me. I give it a 5.0 rating.

It not the best but it works(?)

First of all I understands it’s not the best of the History franchise, just wanted to get this off our shoulders.

(MY OPINION )
Plot:
Tbh the plot was “ehh” it really is problematic and is putting a lot of us BL fans in a comprising position, like it’s very stereotypical, and disrespectful towards the lgbtq+community,
Yes I do understand it’s bl and “comedy” (I guess?) but it doesn’t excuse what they are putting out there into the world.

Acting:
Its a hit or miss for me, bc it’s not bad but o would expect History to have better acting skills than other BL out there. Although I would say History picks one of the best looking ppl, and their style of clothing choices are impeccable like that’s the only reasons I am able to watch this without cringing.

Music:
Tbh I don’t even pay attention to the music so....

Rewatch/Overall:
I wouldn’t watch it again anytime soon, but if there legit wasn’t anything to watch I might consider it. It’s not that bad I would certainly recommend this to ppl but not as a first choice, and keep in mind this is just a show and bl, I don’t want ppl to be angry at something so stupid, being a long time member of the bl community I am used to the hate and bad looks, this show isn’t doing any justice, but I go with this as something as YYY(Thai bl crackhead series) and not taking it seriously.

Okay NY fans don't come at me but I truly believe that this lakorn is overhyped. I have yet to ever finished a NY lakorn, the first one I've started in was the switch, and I wasn't feeling the storyline so obviously I dropped it. There was a lot of great anticipation and from reading people review about this lakorn it finally made me watch it and I don't know how I feel about it.

Quite honestly I see more of their sweet chemistry off screen for example, interview vs in their lakorn. There's something about their characters that just never really developed well when they play together in lakorn. Before you attack me, I have watched Nadech and Yaya lakorn individually with other actors and actresses, and I like their acting, emotions and feelings more.

The storyline wasn't anything new or exciting for me, their characters came off as very "meh". I skip to the last episode and watch the last scene and when they kiss I definitely didn't feel that "omg they finally kiss again" type of feeling. If you watch thai lakorn for a while now then you know we don't get a lot of affectionate or intimate scene and so when we do get it, we obviously FIN super hard. That kiss was eh.

Just because it is not for me doesn't mean it will be the same for you. I've tried picking up this lakorn numerous time and I can say for sure I won't be finishing it.

Started off well and then, became repetitive and dull.

I thought that this drama would be a cute, slice-of-life drama and for starters, it was. I truly enjoyed the first 5 episodes and I looked forward to more hilarious episodes. However, after episode 8 or so, things started to go downhill. Upon reaching episode 12, I knew that I could not continue.

What I Liked (at first):
- I liked Bai Ma Shuai. He was the mega rich and yet, very earnest worker.
- I liked the plots (at first).
- The soundtrack at the beginning of the drama was catchy.
- There was slice-of-life parts which made me laugh and made me tear as I empathized with the characters who were struggling/ going through a hard time in life and at work.

What I Eventually Disliked:
- The characters showed little growth/ development. For example, Fan Si Si was most boring. All she wanted to do was to knock off and to do as little as possible. I felt that this actress was not a good one either as she was pretty stiff in her acting and she did not showcase anything "wow". Similarly, many of the characters in the drama were stilted and lacked interesting character growth/ development. They went round and round, round and round, over and over again. It was painful after awhile.
- There was nothing much to look forward to in each episode. At times, I felt that the episodes were fairly disjointed.
- The 1st group in the company kept on trying to eliminate the 3rd group in the company and that was about it. The 1st group's attempts were futile but nothing worth the watch.

Its not bad..

so, its really not a bad drama. I think its a cool idea and honestly song joong ki's visuals in this drama are *chefs kiss*. i did not understand why in the beginning they showed sjk's character as some tough guy from the mafia and then that all changes when he gets to Korea though. also the female lead kind of gets on my nerves she's a horrible person and just plain annoying.

I really wish this drama wasn't a comedy. I mean its not bad and its actually the kind of fun but (this is my personal preference) for a drama with this plot I would prefer for it to be more serious and purely crime. If it was not for sjk i would probably drop this drama because of it. putting aside that i would prefer purely crime. the characters are enjoyable and i am interested to see how the story progresses. i think this drama is easier to get through if you like sjk and know what to expect when you watch it. if it really bothers you that much like others based on the first 2 episodes then it is better to just drop it.

I want to kidnap sunjae and run too!!!!!!

it is different from the webtoon version but more better and definitely worth watching !!
the group name is eclipse and they released this on the day of solar eclipse, what a coincidence it’s unbelievable

everything is perfect about this kdrama “lovely runner” the visuals, the story just everything is so perfect
I first saw byeon woo seok in strong girl namsoon and I was like hoping and waiting when he will be the main lead and finally he did !!

I couldn’t wait for the drama to release so I read the webtoon first.

in the webtoon the FL did not had any accidents but in the kdrama there is, and the ML died a little bit different in webtoon than in the kdrama it says he died in swimming pool. I found it a lot different from the webtoon. The accident of FL also made me think that we should be grateful with what we have because it is precious too.

I never cried in the first episode of any kdrama but in this one I cried in first episode itself

definitely recommend if anyone is interested in romcom👍🏻 it’s not that cringy

from now on Mondays and Tuesdays are going to be the best!!!

Zakaria Razi is an Iranian scientist

The historical flaw of this series is that Zakaria Razi is an Iranian scientist, but in the series they said he is Arab. This is a weakness for the creators of the series

I really love this series but from episode 2 onwards there is no english subtitle. Please translate it to english. Please I beg you. I am a big fun of BL thailand so please make an english sub. I really wanted to understand the story. English sub will help a lot of people to understand the story well. Please continue making these beautiful and really entertaining kind of series. I am a very lonely person but these kind of movie series gives meaning to my life. Tony is very cute, i really love his face. I am addicted to these kind of movies. So please make a subtitle for every episode please. Help us understand the story.

Flabergasting!!! Absolutely beautifull! Magnificent performances, a highly thriling surprising script!!!And...the drawings are amazing!

It blossoms slowly and consistently with each episode, to its full lavishness. Elements of neo-noir american cinema style, remesniscences of the cult movie « Sin City » come to mind. However, the universe and characters hold more esthetical and context luxuriance with the eastern fragrance!!! The sound track, the production are utterly superb! Passionately entertaining!!!

Excellent work!!!Thank you!

I would suggest that this series deserve an alternative title translation more appealing to a broader public. There are too many references to tittles with « blood » everywhere. « Charming wujian»; « « boundless charm » , could work and might even remain longer. This series really stands for its own merits and deserves to have a tittle translation which duly refflects it.

Such a disappointment. If you came because of the novel or manhua, don't waste your time...

I was looking foward to this adaptation because I am currently reading its manhua version. I like the characters and, specially, the art! So I was really excited to watch this.

But... Unfortunately, I was let down big time.

I didn't think that the actress playing our FL managed to portray the character's vibe, aura and beauty. Lin Yu Jing is supposed to be the type of girl that is just so pretty that it's impossible to pass by unnoticed. But Sabrina Zhuang just played her as a moody teenager. I didn't really feel the etheral beauty queen vibe from her at all.

Moving on from our FL, we get Shen Juan, who was supposed to be a tattoo artist... And the drama transformed him into a silver artisan or something? And then those fighting scenes out of nowhere really made this more childish than it was supposed to be. I am way too old to be watching a supposed teenager single handely fight off an entire gang and still win, unscarred. Sure, there's similar scenes in the manhua (and novel probably), but Zhou Yi Ran's body type and stature aren't convincing at all. What's more, those fights start with no reason what so ever. On the first episode alone there's like two scenes. What's the point? Oh, sure, it's just to show how our ML is simply Chuck Norris's son himself. Seriously...

I didn't even manage to finish the first episode, I was afraid the amount of times I was rolling my eyes was unhealthy.
