O Príncipe do Tênis (2019)

best adaptation for Japanese Manga Prince of Tennis

I have watched the Japanese Manga Prince of Tennis before way back 2007.
I love the story and characters then. I love Tezuka Kunimitsu and Fuji Syusuke.

And here it is! The Chinese adaptation of Prince of Tennis.
It's the best! Just like in the Japanese Manga, I love the characters of the captain Mu Si Yang, Zhou Zhi (my favorite), Qiao Chen and Tang Jia Le.
I always waiting for Si Yang to smile but seen it only on the last episode. And I love it seeing him smile for his team.
I adore their (Mu Si Yang and Zhou Zhi's friendship),
For me, Si Yang and Zhou Zhi are the best tennis player. I'm waiting for their match, for them to play together. Love seeing them together.

Right now, I'm watching it again!

Hoping that there will be a season 2 and 3 for this drama.
I love seeing these actors again playing tennis.

Good show but slow

Really great actors, very handsome is being modest, they all worked well together.
Some of the show I admit I fast forward through do to boring factor.
Tennis graphics amazing, some missed edits
Cast, very excited to see everyone in future shows, they are all very talented, no one stood out over the others.
Show does leg on, this the not so high ratings
Can not give spoilers, except boys play tennis, compete, lose and win
Girls like in all the shows are down graded to just well wishers and extras.
Or fans if the guys are the only guys that are good looking and the girls become groupies.
I wish the shows would give these ladies more attributes in personality.

One of the best drama I’ve watched - no joke!

I really enjoyed watching this drama, i even watched with my family and they enjoyed it too. I usually skip many parts while watching a drama, but this drama is so good that i can actually stay throughout to watch every episode from beginning to the end, all actors did such a fantastic job in acting, they could play tennis so well and look so professional.

I really hope that Hunan TV will continue the season 2 and all casts will return. I even saw people who love this drama created a petition to request for 2nd season of the Prince of tennis, you can tell many really like this drama and anticipate for their return 👍🏻👍🏻

As a long time fan of this series (I watched them back in 2001 when it first aired), I'm actually not looking forward to this drama. Lu Xia (Echizen Ryoma) is my prince since I was 12. In my imagination, he's my perfect prince. So watching this drama make me feel a mix of emotions actually since I don't want to see a "failure" version of him (which China did once already)

But I'm pleasantly surprised by how well written the drama actually is. It follows closely to the manga version more, so it gives me more reason to love it. And I also love the actors. They look just like the characters in the original series I could even recognize their rivals easily. That's quite amazing. And the Yu Qing (Seigaku) boys exactly look like their original counterparts. Except for Qiao Chen, who plays Momo, since I think that he is too handsome to be Momo lol

1. Story (8.5 points)
While I like the story, since it follows anime more than the manga, I saw some fillers in the drama as well. It's not unwatchable, but for those who don't like PoT would think that it's totally silly and unnecessary. I'm actually worried about how the tennis would look like, as PoT is not what you call "normal" tennis, it's more like "fantasy" tennis with all those super weird techniques. But it looks fine enough to me. The CGI is smooth and it's integrated well in the drama, making the techniques believable (somehow). I also love that they include Yan-juice (Inui-juice/Penal-tea) in this drama, which is also a pleasant surprise

2. Acting (9.0 points)
Very on-point. I love that Lu Xia is just... Lu Xia. The actor got the character on point and he plays the calm and arrogant character card very well. The other characters also seem to know the original characters very well, because they act just like the original characters. What surprised me is the one who plays Zhou Zi (Fuji), because that character is very hard to portray, but the actor actually played it very well. I'm impressed

3. Music (10 points)
I love the music. The opening and ending are suitable for the drama

4. Rewatch value (7.5 points)
Because you know who's going to win, so I don't think rewatch is necessary. For people like me who is a die hard fan of this story, I would definitely rewatch them. For casual drama watchers, rewatch would be hard with 40 episodes. I'm someone who watch 178 episodes (and more) of the anime like thousand times, so 40 episodes is nothing to me

Overall, my score is 8.0 points for this drama. The production value is surprisingly also quite good. It's not high budget, but I could see the care the production team put into the drama. If they ever release second season, then I would definitely watch them as well

Where to watch: Netflix

CDRAMA SPORT TERBAIK YG PERNAH SAYA TONTON!!!

Saya jatuh cinta dengan seri ini sehingga saya hanya perlu menulis ulasan. Serial ini patut dipuji dan saya sangat berharap penggemar Prince Of Tennis seperti saya juga bisa menontonnya. DAN jadi drama luar biasa. ini adalah cdrama SPORT pertama yang membuatku menangis, ini adalah cdrama SPORT yang menyenangkan dan kamu tidak bisa berhenti menontonnya. pemerannya luar biasa, akting, semuanya. meskipun aku berharap lu xia dan ying berakhir bersama. itu gantungan tebing dan saya butuh musim kedua sangat buruk. Anda tidak akan menyesal menontonnya. para pemerannya sangat imut dan tampan, aktingnya tepat sasaran, musik membuatnya lebih baik (emosional, kemenangan)
tolong tonton, itu benar-benar sangat berharga untuk waktu Anda. pertandingannya sangat bagus dan membuat Anda merasa gugup dan bangga pada saat yang bersamaan. ini benar-benar cdrama terbaik tahun ini. plotnya bagus, seperti anime. saya tidak terlalu suka drama olahraga tetapi ini membuat saya woosh karena ini sangat bagus. tolong dukung drama ini dan cintai dengan sepenuh hati. tyy!!!

Pasti menikmatinya jauh lebih baik dari yang saya bayangkan. Saya skeptis ketika melihat Netflix melakukannya, tetapi saya memutuskan untuk mencobanya. Ini mengikuti manga lebih dekat daripada aksi langsung lainnya. Saya tidak kecewa. Pemerannya juga bagus... sangat menyukai Peng Yu Chang sebagai Lu Xia! Karakter favorit saya yang lain adalah Qiao Chen, Jia Le, Zhuo Zhi, dan sang ayah. Karakter pemeran utama "wanita" masih mengganggu saya. Maksudku itu diharapkan tapi aku masih kesal. Pertandingan itu menyenangkan untuk ditonton. Saya sebenarnya gugup dengan tim setiap kali mereka gugup. Saya berharap mereka lebih lama. Mereka bisa saja menyingkirkan kilas balik dan momen 'inspirasional' itu untuk adegan pertandingan yang lebih banyak.

Semoga Netflix memiliki musim 2 yang akan menjadi obat bius.
BERHARAP ADA SEASON KE 2, SAYA HARAP SARAN INI DIDENGAR. NETFLIX/HUNAN TV PLEASEE :'''(

Worth Watching

I have always been a fan of PoT and finally took the chance to watch this. It is amazing! Even though the names are different, you can tell who is who just by their appearance.
The show is exactly the same as the original storyline!
One thing I didn't really like is the mini romance part of the show... I'm here to watch how these boys grow stronger each time but was stopped to see some in-direct romance. Though it wasn't too bad.
The best thing about this show is you see how these boys grow not only stronger in tennis but also their bond with each other. Their never giving up attitude is amazing and really makes you wanna move forward in life too!!
I also really love the acting of the cast and really hope to see a sequel from the same cast in near future;;;

It's an amazing series!

I'm not one to watch anything about sports since I suck at it but I decided to give this one a chance because of the trailer. From what I remember, I finished this in 5 days which is totally unlike me cause I would take 2-3 on a Kdrama.

This series was really funny and enjoyable, there wasn't a lot of romance which was actually fine for once. You can also learn a lot from the sport itself and that was why I enjoyed it a lot. I also loved how it didn't only focus on Lu Xia but also the whole team and their back stories and how they also have their own hardships outside of tennis. Their competitions were very exciting and worrying which made it better. I also like how it showed equal screentime to all of the team members.

To be honest, when they found the "secret to winning" thingy, I actually shedded tears because it shows how determined and hardworking each of them were and the chemistry between them were so beautiful and pure, especially Dayong and Jiale(ngl I kinda shipped them lmao).

Overall, this was perfect and even if there were flaws(which I don't even notice), all of the actors did amazing and the intro intself is so catchy lol

Anyhow, it isn't disappointing at all and it showed how even the weakest can become the strongest with just a little bit of hope ^^

Translations

I do agree other reviews about the female lead or how you don't see much of the matches as we would like. If we speak about the flash-back as like the recap of each episode; mind that I watch on Netflix so you have accessed to all the episodes. When it aired, I think, the first time, they choose to present a recap. But I'm not sure if other reviews were specifying these "flashbacks".
Props to the subtitles workers because translating mandarin language to English, Spanish or French is a big challenge especially if you want to prioritize a storyline that make sense. Which they did and I totally appreciated. Since there's words who comes back you can eventually figure out a bit more what it means.
It is definitely an adaptation/inspired of the Anime and the manga PoT. The TV show on the different characters and not solely on the MC. I feel they explore feelings and how much dedication the characters want to give to a club/your team with your family dynamic or the personal development.
I enjoy the background sound and the music too.
For the sequel no news from the production at the time of this review

As an avid fan of both the anime and the manga, when this drama first came out I was highly skeptical because of the past adaptations, which weren't up to par in my opinion. But this drama completely surprised me with how closely it followed the manga. Plus all of the elements that make Prince of Tennis, Prince of Tennis were there. Thank you CGI effects. Though for this particular drama they focus more on the individual members, the team in general, and romance than they do with the matches.

CAST: The director did so well with the casting, props to them for finding actors/actresses that have similar features to the original characters. Whenever they would introduce a character I would get excited! I would also get excited when the characters did their move! They made some changes to some of the characters but then that just made it unique, in my opinion.

Overall, it was a very satisfying drama and adaptation of Prince of Tennis. One of the better ones in my opinion! Even if you haven't read the manga or seen the anime version of Prince of Tennis, this is still a feel good and inspirational drama to watch. It talks about teamwork, friendship, and passion for what they love.
