HIStory: My Hero (2017)

Susah ngejelasinnya -> Tapi ceritanya bagus woy!

Menceritakan sebuah pasangan Mai Ying Xiong (pria) dan Lan Xi (wanita) yang sudah berpacaran lama, kemudian Lan Xi meninggal karena sebuah incident bertepatan dengan kematian pria culun, lemah, dan kuper bernama Gu Shi Ren. Saat meninggal arwah Lan Xi tersebut kemudian masuk ke dalam tubuh pria culun Gu Shi Ren tersebut ; kemudian muncul malaikat yang mengatakan bahwa Lan Xi bisa kembali hidup tetapi dengan syarat Mai Ying Xiong harus mencintai dan mengingat dirinya ; kesulitan terjadi karena Lan Xi harus berkomunikasi dengan Mai Ying Xiong menggunakan tubuh laki-laki culun bernama Gu Shi Ren dengan tambahan syarat tidak boleh mengatakan "nama Lan Xi" atau secara gamblang mengatakan hal-hal yang mengarah padanya, caranya adalah Mai Ying Xiong harus mengingatnya secara tidak sengaja melalui perbuatan-perbuatan. Namun kenyataannya Mai Ying Xiong sudah move-on dan malah mulai menyukai pria culun yang dikendalikan Lan Xi, kagetnya Lan Xi menemukan dokumen-dokumen yang menjelaskan hubungan antara pria culun Gu Shi Ren dengan Mai Ying Xiong yang membuatnya tau alasan tuhan mengapa dia mencabut nyawanya dan membuatnya untuk menggerakan tubuh Gu Shi Ren. Ceritanya secara sinopsis menurutku agak kurang bisa dimengerti ya ; tapi jika sudah menontonnya menurutku detail film ini cukup bisa dimengerti, tidak membosankan dan cukup menghibur, Aron Lai juga bagus dalam memerankan karakternya sebagai Mai Ying Xiong dan Gu Shi Ren juga sangat baik dalam memerankan bentuk karakter Lan Xi. Hal yang menarik dari series ini adalah keadaan dimana sang tokoh mulai mendekati seorang pria yang bernama Mai Ying Xiong yang diceritakan merupakan pria straight - bL seperti ini adalah bL dengan cerita paling menarik menurut saya dan ini sangat berkesan. Sangat rekomendasi menurutku untuk ditonton.

Os primeiros amores são inesquecíveis

Que nostalgia rever os primeiros History... ai, ai. Rever o Aaron também não foi nada mal.

Trata-se de uma série de 2017, portanto muita coisa deve ser perdoada, já que o BL ainda não tinha atingido seu apogeu. O bom de BL's taiwaneses, é que não temos mesma censura dos chineses, então pode sim esperar por um relacionamento assumido (não subentendido ou bromance) e também beijos.

Dois arcos da primeira temporada de HIStory tiveram a particularidade de misturarem realidade e fantasia envolvendo morte de alguma forma, no caso desse, a morte leva por engano uma moça, quando deveria ter levado um rapaz. Não é possível prever no início como será o fim, e isso é bem legal! A morte, assumindo seu erro, permite que a moça volte no corpo do rapaz que deveria ter morrido em seu lugar, e dá a ela um prazo de sete dias para fazer seu homem se apaixonar por essa nova versão dela, caso contrário, ela não voltará à vida. A moça enfrentará o dilema de voltar num corpo de homem e fazer seu namorado "hétero" se apaixonar em apenas uma semana, coitada.
Conforme os dias vão passando, a série começa a dar indícios de que o relacionamento entre eles está fluindo, mas apenas no final é que vem o plow twist de que eles já se conheciam, conviviam como colegas, e já eram apaixonados um pelo outro, inclusive ia rolar uma declaração no dia da morte da garota, quando o rapaz foi espancado. Se analisarmos direito, é possível perceber que quando o namorado viu o "amigo" espancado entrou em desespero, porém não esboçou reação, lágrimas ou luto pela namorada morta. O amor só existia para ela, isso pq na verdade ele já amava o outro. A série é curta, mas o suficiente para ser boa, porém dúvidas ficaram em minha mente. Do que essa moça morreu? Pq no necrotério só tinha o namorado, sem família ou amigos? Onde a alma do garoto ficou quando seu corpo estava com a alma da garota? como ele entendeu tudo quando voltou a si, pq logicamente ele passou sete dias apagado pra voltar beijando o bofe de seus sonhos? Que erro grotesco foi esse da morte, pq não tem nenhuma similaridade entre os dois envolvidos, a ponto dele levar a alma errada?
Enfim, jamais saberemos.

Os aspectos técnicos são bons, bela ost, boa atuação, boa fotografia, filmografia, continuidade, sonoplastia, nada a reclamar.
É uma série que eu sempre indico, amo de paixão essa saga e acho que faz parte da bíblia do blzeiro

Ok I realize this is nothing ground breaking but I think it's perfect for a guilty pleasure viewing. The leads were hot and had great chemistry. The beginning part with the grim reaper ok a bit cringey but I kept watching and the comedy was cute and just generally good mix of light and emotional. Even warmed up to the reaper bit lol I love the twist I mean the way the two leads are shown like I said the chemistry was there and totally worth watching. I felt bad for the female lead and honestly I feel this plot deserved more episodes but it wasn’t an abrupt or incomplete ending

Okay, so this is the first episode from the History series and I wanted to watch all of them so I gave this a try. It wasn't bad, but it left a lot to be desired. I think the story had a lot of potential, but because of the limited time they had to show the story and because one of the male leads was a little too wooden from me it fell flat in some ways. I think it was pretty funny and I was intrigued so definitely give it a watch, but I just think it could have been great given enough time and a little bit better acting from the taller male lead.

*****Spoilers*****

The guy who has a girl inside of him was really great at acting and his partner was hella fine. Damn, he was good looking. There were however plenty scenes that he was staring off that I felt like he could have played better. Perhaps, he just need more experience with acting...That wouldn't have bothered me much except for the fact that the script had a major flaw. The major flaw was that the guy whose body the girl is inhabiting (yeah that probably makes no sense unless you watch the show) has barely any scenes with his partner. It felt like this story was more about the doomed relationship between a girl and guy. You feel bad about the girl but you watch a BL to see the BL characters fall in love and you do get snippets in the episode, but it is minimal compared to the girl who is in a male body and her boyfriend. The beginning of the episode is a bit hard to get into because of editing choices which could have been handled a little better. Overall, I enjoyed this episode but it has some aspects to it that left me feeling bereft.

Ohh man this one was all kinds of levels of cringe to me. I found it quite hard to watch because of the acting, however I really appreciate the overall storyline of this episode. I was so so happy with the ending. I really couldn’t have thought of any better ending than the one the writers ended up going with. If I were to completely ignore all the cringe dialogue that went on between the characters, I’d say this one was pretty solid. Lots of great humor, especially with the obligatory “using a urinal for the first time” scene. This is such a guilty pleasure, I love me some trash tv.

The series starts off a little cheesy however in a good way. I would not watch this if you are under the age of 13 because it does show something that is considered “sexual”. It may just be me when it comes to awkward moments, I just get second-hand embarrassment easily and it has those moments. There are 4 episodes that are about 20 minutes long. One of my favorite things is when Lan Xi possess Gu Si Ren, the thoughts are in Lan Xi’s voice. It is really humorous to watch. This series can make you open eyes to those you fall in love with. It has a good lesson to anyone about love. Would you watch again? Maybe, if I was bored and wanted to watch something.

Wish she went poof earlier

My first History show was actually History 3 Trapped. I loved it so much that I decided to see how the other ones were. This does contain spoilers. I really didn't like the female character who dominates the story until about the last 3 minutes. I wish they would have left that part of the story and moved away from her being in the man's body (and her just going away to the afterlife or something). I would have preferred if we could have seen the two guys relationship instead of the weird caricature of a girl in a dudes body. I wanted more of the actual love story and less having to deal with her character. For being a bl the flashbacks were mostly her and I swear their kiss laster longer than the actual bl characters. I just think she should have gone poof a little earlier so we could actually see SOME of the guys actual relationship.

Interesting Study of Gender Roles

As others have noted, this drama is a bit confusing. At first I though putting a girl in a man's body was a way to get around any boys love hangups the audience or the actors may have had. In fact, when we get to the big kissing moment at the end, there's a cut from the two guys to the girl ghost who takes over the boy's body. But we do get a satisfying resolution in the end. Upon second viewing, there's a lot of subtext that comes to the surface about gender roles. One of the commonly noted benefits of close male friendships is guys are less inhibited about talking about their true feelings, as when Mai Ying Xiong reveals to Gu Si Ren what he really feels about his girlfriend, Lan Xi. The main problem with the plot is we're never quite sure who Gu Si Ren is supposed to be, himself in his previous life (having a man crush on Mai Ying Xiong) or the girlfriend as a ghost, inhabiting his body. The limbo scenes in heaven (?) are just time wasted. I would rather have spent more time with the man characters. But I give this drama high marks for the main two male leads who really sell the attraction of their characters. The mystery of the notebook is a nice touch.

So this is my first BL show and I liked this one. I was looking for something short and sweet to pass the time on a rainy day and I'm glad I chose this. I liked that it had only 4 episodes.

I have been wanting to watch the History series for a while so I thought today, WHY NOT! I thought this story was interesting because it was boy love but not because one of the boys was actually a girl for most of the series. It was sweet and a fun story, a little cliché but I didn't mind.

The acting was good too. It had a small cast of 4 people so I thought as an audience, you really connected with the cast. Yes the acting was a little corny at times but not cringey corny, just cute. I thought the main couple had a lot of chemistry which made it fun too.

The music, I don't remember a lot about which is why I gave it a low score. Since I don't remember the music, it probably didn't lend itself to impact the story all that much.

I would definitely watch this again and I am definitely going to check out the rest of the History series and maybe some more BL down the line. I thought this was a short and sweet series that didn't disappoint.

I know this isn't as popular as the others, but I actually think this is my favorite of the first three HIStory stories. Mainly because I felt the emotions of the characters was the most real (without them being a tad on the toxic side and lack of communication being the main problem, like with HIStory: Obsessed). Like, I love the way they set up Hero finding out Si Ren likes him, and I especially love the turmoil Lan Xi has the whole time of "I want him to love me, but I don't want him to fall in love with me in this body." Also, the actor playing Si Ren deserves more recognition because I periodically forgot that there wasn't actually a woman taking over his body. He did a brilliant job selling it~

It's honestly underrated in my opinion, and I would love a more detailed series about Si Ren's relationship with Hero~
