Domínio do Tempo (2019)

The cinematography was visually stunning. I just wish that there was more blood and violence in the show since this show could use them. Wish they pushed beyond the boundaries of PG-13. Which reminds me that there was that one fight scene where a group of thugs with knives attack Joseph Chang's character but despite having weapons, they kick. I was like WTF! Also, some thugs looked like they were trying to stab the air since they miss by a huge mile when they attack him with a knife. That whole scene was really ridiculous with each thug basically waiting for their turn one by one to get punched by our protagonist. Also, sometimes the show is edited in a way which makes you feel confused. Also, the finale episode left me feel unsatisfied. Like the villain couldn't shut up about his master plan and couldn't stop saying his villain monologue. I was expecting the protagonist to punch his lights out or hurt him in some manner considering how frustrating it was to sit through the villain's monologue but all we're left with is the protagonist crying dramatically on the villain's shoulders. Not to mention that that one scene where the villain makes one of the protagonist's buddies watch his unconscious girl get gangbanged by a bunch of people was something straight outta porn. Lol
I was even more confused by the end when he wakes up from a dream which begs the question of whether all of it was really a dream? Since his friends seem alive and well by the end of it. Nonetheless, it was a good show worth a watch despite its flaws.

This drama is very very dark... this is the darkest drama I've ever watched by far...Why? because of the plot twist towards the end... I suspected the main villain since episode 2 but had some doubts... but the last 2 episode was an eye opener... Hands up to Hsu Greg Han... he played his character very well... I was actually watching for Joseph Chang not knowing Hsu Greg Han was in it as well.

Story wise... well it was good... it gave us different point of views. Cinematography was really good... The casts were excellent.. all of them really fit the characters well... but I will not watch this again anytime soon.. its too dark and depressing for me at the end...

But to those who want to watch... well don't be discourage by the dark genre... try watching it...

Although I was not really satisfied with the ending (Why did Joseph Chang's character had to die) and why is the main villain fate was left unknown.. (would love to know whether he was arrested or killed himself).
I actually didn't see it coming (the relationship between the main villain and the so called "brother" of him). This was the major plot twist in the whole story... man.. he was so evil.... can't help thinking.. how a person can be so evil and manipulative... *sigh*
And the little extra at the end of the last eps... was surprise to find out that all along.. the one who helped Joseph Chang's character was actually his own father (tho it was revealed at the very end).
Tho I'm glad the younger brother (Fu Xing) survived the whole ordeal (with full memory intact of what happened all along) and the lil boy survived as well.

Hope this review helps... Enjoy watching this mini series... ^^
