Nowhere Man

1. The most important is you need keep your brain running when watching, the story is awesome and great. If you think more, you get more fun and discover more surprise hidden in the detail.

2. This not for the people who just want to watch without thinking.

3. It's okay to give a low rating, but it's not fair if you hate it just because you don't don't want to think when watching. This is somehow like most people hate to watch the "Theory of relativity" by Einstein, their dislike is mostly due to they just cannot understand.

4. Overall, this is not 100% perfect drama, but I really like it and believe this drama can compete with other Hollywood A-class drama.

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.

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!

The show definitely had something special, although I can't exactly put my finger on it. It was also quite confusing and lacking direction, but overall enjoyable. Looking back, plenty of plot threads were not explored, and the plots that were presented were also intertwined which made the show pretty confusing. To rap it all up, the main 'villain' was not believable, his means and actions were not explained, the main characters were not nearly enough build or developed throughout the show, and some of the side character deserved more background. Also, it seems like the show ended without tying up loose ends. Was this worth the watch? Yes and no. There are other shows more deserving of your time.

The cinematography wasn't bad but there's such a lacking in storytelling. There's no flow in the story and the poorly character build-up makes it really confusing and lacks any sort of depth. The only thing I can see is the director wanted to make some nostalgic piece of film. I watched the first episode and couldn't bring myself to watch anymore. It had lots of potential but it needs to go back to the drawing board to make it even watchable.
