HIStória 5: Amor no Futuro (2022)

X me non è un HIStory

Considerando le altre HIStory questa non mi è piaciuta affatto...anzi alcune puntate le ho trovate persino un po' noiose, al punto che ero indecisa se continuare o no.
Mi è invece piaciuto ritrovare An e Lin di HIStory 4. Sarebbe stato bello vedere anche Charles e Anson e come proseguiva la loro storia.
Non ho ben capito invece cosa ci stava a fare il mago... per un po' è sparito... poi è tornato ma non ha aggiunto niente di più nella storia...quindi per me ci stava come i "cavoli a merenda"... non so se rendo l'idea!
A differenza delle altre History, che le ho riguardate piacevolmente anche a distanza di tempo, non so se questa invece l'ha rivedrò...o almeno non subito!
Nell'insieme comunque, se si tralascia qualche particolare, si guarda volentieri.
Bella l'ultima puntata e molto bello anche il tempio in cui giace la nonna. Non ricordo di averlo mai visto in altri drama.
Bella la musica che mi ha ricordato proprio le HIStory

не все, но было хорошо

Закончился показ 5-ой истории. О истории скажу немного, а вот об актерах больше. Как раз будет или вообще не будет спойлеров. Я люблю все истории без исключения. Этот показ прошел легко и плавно, с приятной и красивой музыкой, необычайно красивыми и талантливыми актерами. Играли все потрясающе, кроме одного (о нем позже и это только мое ИМХО). Исория попадает в любимые, но чисто из-за игры в основном Энсона Чена. Чень Си Аня знаю давно по его работам. Играет всегда превосходно и каждый раз его шипперят с актрисами из дорам. И порой доходило до скандалов и осуждения, что он холоден на фансайтах с своими партнерами. И тут такая роль. Было интересно наблюдать насколько он готов к такой роли, но он реально профи и талант. Сделал все на высшем уровне. Сюй Тао - его партнер. Они друг другу идеально подходят по сюжету, очень понравилась химия и игра. И вот Шо Хан (Chang Shuo Hang), при всей брутальности и прекрасной игре партнера Чжао Вея ( Linus Wang - Wang Zhao Wei) просто убил всю игру. Опять таки это только мое мнение. Думаю при всей дурашественности персонажа и милой мордашки актера, этого не достаточно. Игры не было, была с его стороны сплошная клоунада. А вот Чжао Вен. О мой Бог, держите меня. Как потрясающе он играл. Эти эмоции глазами, эта мимика и тональность слов. Браво. Так же мы увидим пару из Истории- 4. Прошел год , но их безупречная игра просто идеальна и как вишенка на торте, украшает эту дораму. Цзюнь Пэн и его взгляд, а вот Цзя Вен очень изменился и в лучшую сторону. Его улыбка превосходна. Игра на лайте и позитиве.
В общем и целом я довольна дорамой, за маленьким исключением написанным выше. История получилась интересная и довольно новая по сюжету.

Help, the future made me GAY??? *not clickbait*

I went to the future and fell in love with an undercover CEO??????? *emotional*
Listen, I have more of these but I'll stop myself.

I usually give these short shows a little bit of leeway. You cannot have the juiciest plotlines in 10 episodes - but maaan this show had 50 mins per episode. There are shows that managed to develop a better plot - or at least characters - with only 20 mins per episode. So I really reached my limit here. The end felt very .. clumsy kind of.

Also, personally, I'm not a fan of the "Doe-Eyed Innocent" character. They are adults?? hello? Why does he look like the puppy eye emoji all the time? The characters felt really flat overall. I was so excited about Wen Hsen as a character at first. Like, OMG AN AMBIGUOUS CHARACTER???? NOT just a goody two shoes? But OF COURSE in the end he turned out to be good all along... kinda meh.

The cast seemed to me mostly rookies and i think that is the downfall of the HIStory series. Tai Ze Ni looked like he had a stick up his ass. I laughed out loud a couple of times, yelling "WHY DOES HE WALK LIKE THAAAT?" and his an Huai En's expressions looked really cartoonish. I feel like the director should've kept an eye on that more.

The music slapped though. Whenever "more than friends" came on i was jamming - sreaming - crying.

Overall, I would say that this is an OK binge. But really didn't leave an impression on me and made me cringe more than it made me feel warm n fuzzy.

I'm a sucker for the cheesy

Since I can't rank in intervals less than .5 I gave it a 8.5 tho it's more 8.2 as a whole it's just a bit above History 4 since I genuinely enjoyed both couples this time. Seeing that couple from History4 be brought back and not Li Cheng and Teng Muren makes me sad tho ( No shade to Michael and Lin Chia their characters as a couple just make me uncomfortable after everything Yongjie has done and the legally step sibilings part, had to skip most of the last few minutes) but still it was a lovely show. Best part of the finale tho was the beginning for sure, the way I screamed out of happiness 😂. Is it by any means their best one? Nope. Am I still gonna watch the ones that come after if they continue to produce more? Yep lol

Worst history season

I have watched all history and I have never been so disappointed after watching any of the history season. I don't know why are people rating it 5 and telling about the second couple chemistry.
1. The story about time travel is so bad I have seen other time travel stories that are good but this basically has no story just suck.
2. The acting of the first couple is so unacceptable and disappointing I know that they have worked hard but still the acting is so bad that I can't say any good thing about it. Even the second couple acting is bad but better than the first. But because of the story of the series the acting is bad.
3. Is it the same writer as previous please improve your writing this is just not done you have just put down the name of whole history series.
4. Never ever been so disappointed and dissatisfied after watching history if u can't make it don't make its anymore don't create such crap.

An Unusual Drama

History 5: Love In The Future was an unusual drama. It was also lighthearted and not too serious. I like that the drama didn't take itself seriously. I also like that the drama was different from the other History dramas. The story was pretty simple and unique. The cinematography was hit-and-miss. The music was actually good.

Now for the characters. I like all the main characters. Out of all the main characters, I like the 'He Bo Wei' character the most. The reason why I like the 'He Bo Wei' character is cause he is cheerful, sweet, and cute. He is such a cheery person. I would love to have a friend like him.

The actors acting was somewhat natural. There were some good acting performances. The cast had pretty decent chemistry, but they didn't have the best chemistry. The main couple's chemistry was natural. The second couple's chemistry was cute and sweet. One more thing, the season finale was so wholesome.

HIStory 6: Has Got To Be Better Than This

This 5th series of HIStory somehow was worse than the 4th...which is saying something. HIStory 4 had a weird brother-romance plotline (which continues in this series btw lol) but its main couple was still fine mostly. This series every couple was a hot mess. Let's start off with the fact that there's time travel in this, which non-realistic plots have been done in HIStory before so that's not the problem. It's that it makes for a really weird main romance. Why? Because Johnny (our time-traveler) has met with his love interest Hai Yi (strange upper class whiny boi) when Hai Yi was a small child and Johnny was already an adult. Because it was in the past! Whyyyyy did they choose to make that a plot choice? They really didn't need to!

Our second couple Vincent and Wynn were a big age gap but they seemed alright at first. Then it started to get drawn out and so lack of communication and so much fighting that I was like...dude what's the point of them? We had an age gap couple in HIStory 3: MODC which is my favorite series of the franchise! We didn't need it again but without nuance and so much confusion.

Lastly, other than the terrible plot throughout. The ending was bad too. We had this "will he or won't he?" with Johnny going back to his original time period since episode 1. What was potentially going to get him to go back was his grandmother, whose dead in the current day timeline (because duh she'd be like a fossil by then). However, the series does nothing inventive to solve this situation. There's no going back, there's just him coming to terms with it basically? I get he's found love now but honestly I thought he'd take Hai Yi back with him or visit the past at least one more time. Like tf was that cop out? Last thing, like I mentioned our problematic brother couple from like series is back in this. Why? I don't know, especially with the backlash from it! They get engaged and its just plot padding.

They peaked at HIStory 3: Make every day count.

After the 'I felt in love with my rapist' storyline from "HIStory 4: Close to You", I thought that I was done with this BL series. However, once I saw the new trailer for this current season, I decided to give it a try as I thought it has an interesting plot and cute actors. I shouldn't have.

Episode one barely introduces He Bo Wei, a 2000's delivery guy who lives with his grandmother, before he's transported by an unknown magical individual to 2022, to the body of Tai Che Ni, an apparently no life, no family or friends person who nobody cared disappeared of their lives.

Hai Yi, Tai Che Ni's love interest, has zero personality aside from being angry all the time. There's no chemistry between the actors and the reason why they go to live together doesn't make sense. There's little to no backstory for him and when it turns out that they knew each other when Hai Yi was a child, it feels like it came out of nowhere.

The other story is between Liang Wen Hsen and Wynn, who I have to say are the better part of the series. They share sweet moments and they have way better chemistry.

Episodes 3-5 are basically filler as there's nothing relevant going on. Then, on episode 6, Hai Yi's dad dies and it turns out he was the president of the company everybody was working on so now Hai Yi is the heir and the person in charge. Tai Che Ni, and Hai Yi had an argument after that and stop talking to each other.

There's a nonsensical argument between Liang Wen Hsen and Wynn, where Wynn acuses Liang Wen of not being loyal to Hai Yi (who, mind you, Wynn barely knows and has no reason to side with him). Tai Che Ni and Hai Yi make up.

I'm really disappointed on the weak story, the pace and characters. Tai Che Ni actor really tries his best but the story really isn't working on his favor. I feel like HIStory peaked on S3 and haven't been able to improve after that.

I will finish the series, but I'm not sure I'll give it another change if there's a S6.

I was very excited about HIStory 5 but I was let down.

The story of the mail cp had many plot holes and the directing is off too honestly.It just wasn't IT.
Also I didn't feel much of a chemistry between the couple, maybe it's because their acting was not that good too.

Thankfully there was the 2nd couple that made the series worth watching.
Their story was good and with some back story too (witch I liked that it was shown in the series properly). The hemistry between them was great, I just wish they had more screen time..
I guess I don't have to say it but obviously the acting of the 2nd cp was better too.!

Also one other thing I really liked was the guest appearance of the 2nd couple from HIStory 4 in the last few episodes..
I loved them in HIStory 4 so I was very happy to see them together again ...and plus we got a closure for their story.

Anyway despite the main couple I don't regret watching it ...obviously the series didn't live up to the HIStory name but ok ..I hope that the next one will be better ...

Another one in the Series

HIStory will always be a top series for me, loved all of them from 1-5.
This one in particular was good in and of itself, definitely not in the top 3 of the whole series but still good. Actors did a great job in my opinion, concept was also great, there were a few times plot either moved too fast or too slow and confused me but overall I kept up with what was happening. HIStory usually goes with a pretty simple theme but they definitely decided to go the more crazy route with this one.

Definitely hope there will be a HIStory 6 and can't wait to see what they come up with as a plot next time!

UNGRATIFIED HOPE

This could have been so much better. Yet, I didn't regret any time watching the series. It was a flash of sparkling potential. Therefore, take a few deep breaths and let your mind at ease before you decide to start chowing down the series, okay ?
The recreation of the 2000 cityscape was a huge letdown. It didn't carry anything that screamt the year 2000 (or at least anything universally recognizable) and also, the modernization of 2022 totaly slipped into frame. So, the visual setting at the beginning was an entire failure.
In terms of the main actor who leads the plot, let's just say he is a level-headed person and his reaction to the sudden change in time and space were mild, that, I can accept. But why did a man like that refuse using hand sanitizer (which was the magical tool to bring him back to his own time) when people obviously say they're in the middle of a pandemic ? Furthermore, he was so sure that he could return to his time when he didn't even know how. He knew how to exploit money from his future lover but didn't have a clue on how to get back, yet, he was determined that he wouldn't have to pay back if he failed the mission (in ep 2). It was ridiculous and illogical.
In addittion, all evidences pointed out that the m.c had switched bodies with another person, yet, I never saw a glimpse of what the other changling was doing in the year 2000, in fact, the director and/or writer decided to actually "delete" the other changling, which makes it...dumb.
And then, the development of the couple just shot right into space on lightspeed in episode 5 (5/10 ep). I was shocked and in denial those were the real events and was not one of the main characters' dream (when they suddenly expressed intimacy out of nowhere). After that, the drama between the m.c and his boyfriend (who had been inevitably made into the company's CEO) just flew into the room like nothing, without making itself clear on why it is dramatic. And...all that was yet to be the end.
However, beside plot holes in almost every single scenes, I truly enjoy evey remaining components of the series. The cast was exceptional attractive, all of their faces captured me in different ways, and I don't have any complaints on that. Even so, the make-up artist actually killed them by not applying colors on the actors' lips, which made them look half-dead. On to the the acting, it was convincing and charming with them delivering lines in their trained tone of voice and completely natural facial expression. I was moved in almost every take. The camera work, the lighting, the camera placement, I love it all.
In short, if set all the plot holes aside, I have wonderfully enjoyed this series. I hope everyone did/will, too.
