Time (2024)

gave me a headache every time

Overall: the plot did not plot. Watched uncut on GagaOOLala. Also aired cut/uncut on WeTV and cut on YouTube (they cut the NSFW scenes). 10 episodes about 40 minutes each. MFlow Entertainment also produced: Beyond the Star, Ai Long Nhai, Coffee Melody, Second Chance and With Love.

Watch Suggestion: instead of watching the series, watch the Behind The NC Scenes (note the thumbnails have nothing to do with the scenes) https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/3965/time-the-series-behind-the-nc-scenes-2024-e01 These are actually fully edited with music though they occasionally have someone giving directions.

Content Warnings: murder, sexual assault/attempted rape, dub/non con? (not sure what exactly that was around 30 minutes in episode 1), sexual harassment, beaten up, drugging, manipulation, slaps/fight, blood, mental health struggles, non con that turns consensual, breaking & entering, kidnapping, non con video recording/sharing

What I Liked
- the intro didn't make much sense but it did set up high stakes
- at least the manager eventually followed him to his room in episode 1
- the kissing/NSFW were decent (but felt directed instead of organic at times)

Room For Improvement
- not sure what the plot was supposed to be, we had fast jumps to characters that are not introduced well/I didn't really know who they were (especially bad in episode 5), it was also boring ie 7 minutes of guys flirting with women in episode 3
- everything felt odd, the dialogues, the lack of realistic reactions to things, no one acted like a human
- the timeline became especially choppy in episode 7, was not sure how much time passed between scenes
- way too much screen time in episode 1 with the stereotypical/cliche fighting/yelling trans women and evil wannabe girlfriend (reminded me of Be Mine Superstar, not in a good way), luckily the yelling went away
- the set up for the NSFW in episode 1 was awful
- the two leads needed to be styled differently, they looked kind of like brothers
- comedy sound effects that weren't funny
- episode 2 had a very long/odd flashback/dream
- nonsense stuff, that jump drive map in episode 5 being just one of a ton of examples
- cliche evil women
- cliche drunk trope (very fictional mouth says no but body says yes), cliche saw someone talking with a woman and then refused to communicate
- the twist at the end

????????

tem uns roteiros que me impressionam de como passam no controle de qualidade e resolvem fazer uma série sobre.

o primeiro episódio já começa uma bagunça, o principal é um coitado que mesmo no fundo do poço tem cara de absolutamente nada, e é difícil uma história te prender quando o ponto de vista é de um personagem tão mal feito quanto o foam.

as NC parecem acontecer aleatoriamente e em momentos que o casal mal foi introduzido, além de tentarem mostrar o máximo possível da situação mas acabar fazendo algo mal feito que demonstra ainda mais claramente que aquilo é atuação.

- os beijos são bonitos, mas passou disso e parece pornografia roteirizada que resolveram enganar o público com jogada de câmera.

o interesse romântico do foam é um ator melhor, ele parece demonstrar as coisas e quando as cenas estão focando em como ele se sente eu quase gosto de assistir o que tá acontecendo.
Bew e park tambem me divertiram, mas andaram rápido demais e aquilo de entrar na banheira de cueca me deixou um pouco mais irritada do que eu gostaria de admitir.

passei muito tempo assistindo e depois fiquei me perguntando porque que eu fiz isso comigo mesma.
tenham amor próprio e não sejam igual a mim.
