My Gangster OPPA
This is a very bias review. I loved Meen since Love by Chance 2. He is really young but such a good actor. I like Ai Long Nhai even though it was a trash series. The reason is because of Meen. I liked Ping but I’m not delusional to think he has any acting skills besides being annoyingly whiny and being cute AF about it. Even I can admit Meen’s acting wasn’t good. Given the material and who he is playing against.
With that said I still had high hope for this series. To start off, Meenreally leveled up his actin in the series. He did exceptionally well in the second half because I can clearly see his acting being so stalkingly good with Ping loosing the plot of the story. I cannot take him as a serious actor when I think he is worst that Dunk. What is it with these boys whining and crying so hard? That scene in bed in the last episode was so poorly directed and edited but Ping’s acting good it to another level of bad. You can see that Meen was really focus on not laughing at it. He was so serious which makes that scene so funny to watch.
I don’t like the character Wahl but the actor did a great job portraying it withthe redemption arc. He was definitely different in the book. In the first half I really want to yeet Wahl out the the series. However once he discovers his feels he wasn’t as cringey.
The story took a completely different turn than the webtoon. But overall despite the poor Ping acting which really shine through in contrast to Meen and Winner. Hell everyone’s acting was good to great except Ping. But I’m not mad about it because he’s so cute. This is why I am giving it a 7.5. It’s completely bias.
