Super Talent (2020)

Não gostei!

Vamos lá... Assisti por causa de Yibo, e na esperança de ver ao menos um bromance (da China as expectativas são baixas). Só não me decepcionei mais, pois ver Wang Yibo é sempre um prazer, e boa parte do elenco também atuou muito bem, alguns nem tanto.

Esperava mais em qualidade, justamente por ser da China, que faz raiva no BL mas estrega muito na qualidade, e senti aqui alguns pontos fora da curva. Efeitos especiais amadores, o roteiro muitas vezes não fazia o menor sentido, a música combinava, mas a filmografia me lembrou filmes muito antigos, com pouca qualidade. A fotografia teve tantas chances de ser bem aproveitada, com cenários estonteantes, mas não foi. Enfim, não perderia meu tempo vendo de novo. Assista por sua conta e risco.

Not the best, but not the worst

Honestly, there is just so many bad reviews out there for this drama. "My Strange Friend" did not make it to my list of favourite C-Dramas, that's true, but it's far from the worst.

I can understand that the bar is higher for a series with the ML of Yibo's caliber, but one must admit that good plot is not among the strongest points of most C-Dramas. Given the budget, I think the production already did the best they could with what they had, and I was quite surprise that they managed to pull off this much out of the limited resources that they had.

There were lots of plot holes and the series was dubbed over in the original Chinese version to make up for the inconsistency, but some part of the story and dialogue were still very interesting. I especially liked the first few episodes, the following not so much, but still passable. My favourite character in the entire series was Afu. I think he got the best story line, and the actor really nailed it portraying his character.

To summarize, do not expect another "Untamed", but "My Strange Friend" is not so bad as a story.
