I Am Your King 2 (2019)

I really don't know how I feel about this series. It's obviously an older series but it popped up on iQiyi as Recently added so I figured I would give it a shot. The 1st thing I will say is that if you are expecting this to be a continuation of I Am Your King season one, it's not. Actually other than the fact that they both play the king game in the series, there is nothing relating the two seasons. It's different characters, a different storyline, different actors; there is absolutely no relation between season 1 and season 2. I don't feel like the acting was bad necessarily, it was really more of a screen writer issue I think. There were too many little plot twist that, while I did keep you guessing, didn't flow together smoothly. The most disappointing thing for me, however, was the ending. There was a lot of build-up and then I just felt robbed of a truly satisfactory wrap up to it all.

Ótima produção, porém enredo e execução duvidosos.

Quando assisti fiquei admirada com a qualidade visual da série, que é extremamente melhor do que a anterior, porém nessa série o jogo KING foi um pouco forçado.
A atuação também foi ótima, do elenco todo, principalmente dos personagens secundários e o Pun, que não deixaram nada a desejar!

A história estava indo muito bem até o episódio 8, onde o diretor começou a fazer uma bagunça e não soube como resolver no final, o que deixou o final aberto e ficou parecendo que o diretor não quis desapontar nenhum dos shipps e acabou com todos de uma vez.

Adorei a personagem lésbica, porém queria que ela tivesse sido mais desenvolvida, e achei confuso isso só ser relevante no final, uma pena na verdade.

O protagonista é muito fofo, mas fiquei triste de não ter tido um casal canônico, ele merecia mais. Ótima atuação por parte dele por sinal, passou muito bem as emoções do personagem.

Achei a série meio problemática em alguns pontos, mas o que mais me incomodou foi a retratação de pedofilia abertamente romantizada, onde o casal "principal" é entre um adolescente de 15 ou 16 anos, e um adulto com no mínimo 23 anos (mas que parece ter uns 25). Tecnicamente não é ilegal mas fiquei desconfortável assistindo essa parte. Acho que para resolver isso, poderiam ter colocado o Pun no último ano de escola e não deixado o Sib como veterano, e sim no 1 ou 2 ano de faculdade, acabaria com toda a problemática.

No geral a série não me decepcionou, apenas não gostei do final aberto e da diferença de idade entre os protagonistas. Não assistiria novamente, mas não foi um tempo perdido. A série no geral foi agradável de assistir, boa para se divertir, sem esperar algo extremamente clichê.

Okay, so this review must be 500 words or more. I can't just write "There's time of my life I'll never get back" and leave it at that, so here goes.

I see all the high ratings and the rave reviews this season as well as season one has and I'm honestly confused by it all. Sure, it had such potential, but this show went off the rails since season one. The acting is stiff, the characters has no chemistry and nothing really worked.

Sometimes you need to burn the house down and start again with a fresh foundation.

This was one of those moments - they needed to do what 2Moons did - recast the entire damn thing, hire new writers and start fresh - but instead, they built a new house on the same shaky foundation.

I'm not entirely sure what I expected. I strongly disliked the first season and couldn't believe they'd spend money on making a second season. I am not sure why I even watched this. I supposed I was hoping it would be better. Or maybe I wanted to see what fresh hell they were unleashing on their fans this time - I don't know.

Either way I watched.

First of all, these grown folks are using a card came to steer their lives. Okay, fine, its a game and there are rules, but a bunch of people in this so call game was taking it WAY to seriously. They legit use this game to tell them what path to take or to have someone else do something they probably don't feel right about.

Secondly, every single character in this show are horrible human beings. Every single one of them deserve to be miserable.

I can't...I honestly can't.

Just wanna share my insights... I AM YOUR KING!!! SECOND SEASON IS ROCKIN... Don't bash me for this

This series is quite intriguing. When I saw online that there will be a 2nd season of I am Your King, I was very excited because on the first season, the love story between the main characters was not finished. I was a bit frustrated to know that the 2nd season is a new story with a new characters focused on. But as I am watching the 2nd season, I am getting some ideas that might relate the two seasons. I am having a hunch that Pound from season 1 is Pun's brother and I have my theory for that.

First, the fact that Pun is living alone in a condominium is a proof that his family is away. He mentioned in the fourth and fifth episode that he lives in a condominium near the cafe where he applied as a part-time barista. Second, on those episode, Pun said to P'Sib and Em that his mom went to China for business and his brother followed to study there and that he is the only one who doesn't want to go there. I support this second part of the theory by the Last episode of the first season. Pound's mom is going back to China and she is taking Pound with him to study there. Pound told his friend, New, that he will be studying there for a long time. (That episode really made cry a lot). Third part (and maybe the last one), Pun said that his father is already deceased and on the first season, he has the same situation as Pound. Both of them have no fathers and they live with their mom.

They both have no fathers, have a mom going to China for business, and one is left when the other went to study there. This is just a hunch and I am not yet fully confident with it myself. But I am certainly sure that they have some relations though.

But, I am certainly looking forward to the development of the second season and I hope it gets connected to the first season as I watch it till the end.

Thank You for reading this!
