Triumph of Love
11/12/2022
When I first put this series in my coming soon list, from the synopsis I knew it had the potential to be really good. So far, it is that and more. The ML is carrying this series at 7 episodes in, I suspect he will be the draw to the end. They could have paired him with any FL and if she were competent, it would've worked, he is that magnetic. The writers appear to have written the drama with him in mind or he has tailored his facial expressions and actions to perfectly pair with the script.
He is cast as the rare breed of visionary who sees what others simply can't. The college guy with the brain to see the limits of technology and the foresight to see beyond them. True visionaries are often reclusive because they either lack the will or the skill to develop socially. This ML comes across as someone who is brilliant but flawed. Oblivious to the normal thrust and parry of social niceties, he offends as many as he attracts. His talent is enviable and because of it some will want to own him, others will want to use him, but few will be indifferent to him.
This is a big role for him to play, we will see if he has the acting chops to deliver it, so far at least he is nailing the role.
The FL is pretty, and she is holding her own as his counterpart. I honestly I think she could have been more dynamic but she is the polar opposite of him and that is perhaps enough.
The other ML is a bit irritating but I understand the necessity of his part. Perhaps they will give him more definition as the series progresses.
Some reviewers expressed dismay over the turn the series made from the present to the past when they were young. Series often do this, begin at a later point and then go back to show us the beginning. It is not really the use of flashbacks but rather they gave us a brief glimpse into the future and then the story itself begins.
We will see where it goes from here, but it promises to be a fascinating story. For now, it is a ten.
@16: The FL's mother is determined to control her daughters future and I am pretty sure that doesn't include allowing a boyfriend like the ML, so that probably means the FL will be sent abroad for school. So some turbulence is to be expected with that development but the FL is showing a more daring and determined side to her personality and that is adding huge interest to the story.
@17: Wow. Not gonna lie, I was getting nervous but the writers did it again with a fabulous and highly satisfying episode. ML used his megawatt gaze (he has THAT look down) to perfection here. It was even more mesmerizing because he became the superhero to save the girl. And he did it with oversized confidence and a very masculine and bold performance. Is anyone else loving this guy? He is soooo good. I would love to see him in another series. Props also go to the FL, she is way more interesting than first expected. The second ML is still annoying, lol, I guess that means he is playing his role well. It is funny, I disliked him more in this episode than I did the really bad dude.
@26: Well folks, we made it past the calamity and the stage is set for a comeback. This series is breathtakingly good. It is surpassing every hope we had initially and while it did start out a bit slow, it has developed perfectly. In fact, it has surprised many of us with how well written and acted it has been. This 26th episode marks a change. It has been 3 years and our ML's are stuck where we left them, but the temperature is rising and the ice is thawing. They are working together again and seem ready to kick butt. We are ready for some payback!
So fingers crossed the Flying team will rattle the windows at the L&B headquarters. Oh and for those of you who enjoy skinship, celebrate...there are lots of kisses. And for those of you who are worried about the ending, it is gonna be alright too.
@32 The general consensus is that the series keeps on getting better and better and I have to agree. There has been no drag, it has been frustration free..and everything is coming together in time for the wrap up. Super in love with our ML's. Their romance is captivating...it will only take a spark for it to burn. They are setting this up for a grand finale. Can't wait. It has been a blast. C'mon take a chance on this one. You will be so glad you did. Enjoy.
@Final: Wonderful and satisfying ending. Truly adorable series. Some rough weather, so hang with it, and don't give up until you get there, but it is a triumph of love over hate. Love it. Big ten from me.
Happy Watching!
