Out of my nutshell
I'm going to come out of my nutshell: I'm not the biggest fan of dubbing in productions. It bothers me a lot. It feels like there is "sand in the gears".
Yes, dubbing has many resons. Some sound recordings are disturbed by airplanes, children playing in the vicinity, or engine noises. It is allowed to "trick" in those cases. But to dub through the whole movie/episode, it must be flawless, with real dubbing actors and real sound engineers who are specialized. Also, the voice must fit the character! For this purpose, there are special casting agencies that find type-appropriate voices for the actors.
Often mainland China BL productions have bigger budgets and for all the money they could produce better BL dramas compared to other countries. Well - this is my taste and means that there are exceptions:
I am a huge fan of "Addiction" (2016). I would almost say the mother of all BL productions! See my review of "Addiction" for more information.
Advance Bravelys production is good. The story is plain and it is dubbed. But I thought, be brave and watch the first 4 episodes. You will see very well trained bodies and if you love 6-packs, you will be happy here immediately!
:)
The cliché "Enemies to Lovers", "Rich meets Poor" is served here and the story is peppered with fight scenes. I can not judge whether this is really exciting for the target audience, but maybe you do it so that the boyfriends of the target audience are not too bored by BL dramas. ^^
And I liked Advance Bravely, so I watched all episodes.
What I do not like about the drama is that animals there are not kept species-appropriate. It is part of the script, that the cage incl. bird dropped on the floor. Someone sprayed an insecticide 1m below the cage. The cage of the bird was too narrow, hung on the balcony and exposed to the weather. Too much wind, sun and rain... how will the bird find protection? Never! The bird was carried back and forth for walks. This is absolute stress for a bird. If you really need to transpose a bird, then please carry it gently with both hands and a blanket over the cage so that the bird does not see what is happening around. It is best to use dummies for films or you can also use computer animation to incorporate an animal. Also that with the cock is not funny.
I think every production MUST be careful here. No matter if dog, cat, snake, hamster, fish or bird... it should be oriented after international knowledge.
A very long time ago in Taiwan and Thailand dogs were kept in very small steel cages on the balcony. Today, this is seen very very rarely. And the mortality rate from these animals dropped significantly. I wish there was a different awareness in this production. Who has no understanding for my demands, he can try it with pleasure. I'll put you in a cage and expose you to the weather day and night - and you get always the same food.
It is possible that you do not understand my concerns. It is only an animal and it may have no value for you. I am not writing this review through the eyes of every reader. It is in the nature of things to have different opinions. And I am writing from my point of view. Opinions are always just an offering to think about. In some countries, the value of an animal has no value. I am aware of that. Still, I think the film industry has a special responsibility here.
But I remain fair and do not disquality this production.
I think everyone acted well. The sister had a difficult role. She was the big pain in the butt - but a little less is more. Her role could also be a little less dorky.
A lot of relationships weren't fleshed out, there's an enormous amount of room for more depth. But I'm not sure why the series was stopped. If I compare it to "Addiction (2016)," it was the same problem, just a year earlier.
Thus, the story of the last episode and the ending of the drama is really bad. As a viewer, you feel very badly admonished, which is why I see the poor rating of the last episode as justified.
It is also a pity that the role of Xu He Ni is so small. I would have liked to see more of him.
The mother was a total surprise for me. Super played and had a really nice script. I would like to see more of Hu Cai Hong!
Aired Advance Bravely in 2017.... now it's 2023 and I assume we can no longer expect a well deserved 2nd season. Too bad.
Now that you know the story ends abruppt, it won't be so hard for you.
Enjoy the really nice minutes.
I wish you all the best!
