Nowhere Man

Great acting with great colors used, every scenes look perfectly balanced. Almost all the actors fitted perfectly and played their role in developing the whole stories, their acting is phenomenal (btw, lots of curse phrases in Chinese where you can learn too lol). The timeline was a little bit mixed but pretty easy to understand if you pay enough attention. Highly recommended for someone who likes a series with lots of plot twists.

I don't understand why people rated this serie so badly. It's probably one of the best movies Taiwan ever made. A lot of twists and turns. And an ending that satisfies every one with an exhaust of relief.

The narrative might be a little confused at first just because most of you are not familiar with Chinese names in English and that makes you difficult to focus on the storyline.

It's a good one and definitely worth watching.

What I loved: 1. The characters - especially between the brothers. Brotherly love and loyalty isn't always sweet and respectful. Brothers fight all the time because of how competitive some of them are. There is always a favourite, and there's always a mediator in the mix. I just loved the acting and the dynamic between the actors who played the brothers because it came across as feeling very genuine.

2. The clever plot and how all the problems were resolved. So brilliant! When I thought the movie was about revenge, another plot line was revealed. When I thought it was a story about a prison break, a mystery plot was revealed to hook me into following that plot line. All the twists and turns really paid off at the end. This movie isn't all about the violence and the hate. It's also about social injustice, and it presents an angle that I have not seen before in other HK triad-type movies.

3. The artistry. I loved the cinematography, the set designs, the costumes, even the Cantonese subtitles. I don't know how many viewers noticed this, but that was simply brilliant!

Wow! Great acting and amazing cinematography, the light and the colours used were breathtaking combined with the music! Everything matched so well together. The actors fitted just perfectly in this universe as well. Joseph Chang was indeed a delight to watch, along with Wang Bo Chieh. Probably the best casting for this kind of show. Loved how they intertwined the "past" with the "present", sometimes maybe confusing, but the "present" was more understandable because of that. The twist near the end I kinda expected, but the very end (watch till the credits begin) surprised me in a good way! Amazing show!

As a big fan of the 90s HK filmes, this was a nice retro style series. It has traditional themes including gangster crime, brotherhood, and lust. The vivid colour and selection of mindblowing sound tracks were excellent to bring back the old good days of HK cinema.

I was surprised to see that this series was made in Taiwan and wish that it could be only a begining of seeming more like this good piece of work from the mandarin producers. The story could be quite banal or mixed up side down. Maybe it was intended so as its title suggests in Mandarin.

For the originality of cinematography and characters were good enough to make me nostalgic about Wang Kar Wei. I cannot wait to see any similar works to be released soon.
