The Ghost Bride

Overall Good, script is well written(I didn't read the book). The Peranakan elements in the series are eye opening,but the accent of the main actors are not-so-local,as I was expecting a more Malaysian- style accent.(not to mention their accent are different from one another). Also, the Malay pronunciation could be better(esp Er Lang).

The love triangle was a bit corny, but what really worked here were the supporting cast members that helped establish the main character. Angeline Tan who plays Madame Lim is a definite standout here - really enjoyed this character. I had no idea about colonial Malacca and the significance of it being a gateway of sorts between east and western cultures - such a magical place that fit in with the theme of ghosts. Also very interesting as I had no idea that even today, the marrying of ghosts can take place in some provincial towns. A great watch.

I absolutely loved the book, so I was very excited to discover this was on Netflix. Unfortunately, it is nothing like the book, only small remnants of the amazing story. I was very disappointed, but watched it through to see how it ended. If you didn't read the book it is a very interesting fantasy show. For me, I wish it was truer to the book, but still didn't mind it as a stand alone.

The plot was well written with action ans romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Would definitely recommend it.

I hope it was so much more. I don't know the book, but the trailer was promising. It never gets to suspenseful. I wasn't fully engaged to the characters. I wish I was.

I do like the beautiful sceneries of the countryside and the underworld was also well done. The wardrobes were also nice. The daring costumes from Tiang Ching, the colorful traditional Chinese "Qi Po" of the issued, Li Lan's black dressed and the sophisticated western dresses of Isabelle. There were some scenes which was with mr. Wong which were kinda scary.

Funny there was some Cantonese spoken in some scenes. Average series, don't expect too much, watch it for fun.
