Creative angles and moving shots give the When a Snail Falls in Love trailer a film feel that I love. Here are my favorite shots and/or scenes from the trailer.
The series is only 15 episodes and director Zhang Kaizhou promised a faster pace, better crime-solving, more combat, more soul, and less romance compared to the original. Let’s hope he delivers. There is also a big train fight scene in Myanmar that should be a hoot.
And finally …
has the filming for this been completed?
That last shot reminds me of the the scene in LMIYD when Simon lays down on the table to “experience” what the victims saw. That scene gave me chills too.
Oh, wait? Are we not starting the LMIYD comparisons yet?
MTE but noooo.. not yet. let’s compare it after we finish watching this one :D
kidding.
TK, your name reminds me of a character in a novel i read :P
I wish it would be around 20 episodes instead. 15 is too short for all the stories 😅
I have a feeling if this succeeds, they’ll want a sequel … at which point Wang Kai can pretty much spend the rest of his life doing sequels. NIF 2, Disguiser the film, OTJ 2+3, and then Snail 2, 3, 4, 5 …
Nah they won’t do a sequel for Snail – there’s no book to go off (since Yu Zheng bought the last one – in which Yang Rong looks amazing in). It’s really hard to write crime.
Is NIF 2 confirmed? Like it’s going to happen? NIF is still hands down my favourite CDrama to date (Disguiser coming in a close second).
I’ve been dissappointed before with sequel news because they said there would be sequel for Strange Hero Yizhimei with Wallace Huo and LSS and even had filmed some of it but it never happened.
YZM T_T I wish they did a YZM sequel instead of the medical series since it was so much better.
NIF2’s script is at least in the works, and the rights have been sold to TV and online streamers for unprecedented prices, so Daylight has huge incentives to finish it.
From interviews and the casting, it seems like they’ve left out the last aka best of the four cases. Given that, they could do either a sequel or a film if it does well. Yu Zheng’s also only filming the first couple of cases of Memory Lost and is planning to do multiple seasons.
YZM left out a case as well – hence the sequel rumour. There were stills and costumes that were released but never actually seen in the series itself.
Is Hai Yan doing the script for NIF 2? or at least helping out with the storyline. She’s very good at story telling but just needs someone else to translate it into a TV script.
Leaving out the last case in Snail? I suppose they could do a movie out of it but definately not a second series. See Memory Lost can work over a few seasons because they have the overiding theme of searching for her/his memory to tie it all together. Snail does not.
I hope they have lots and lots of hand to hand combat. And perhaps better repertoire between the two leads than LMIYD.
Amen to that!!
But 15 though 😭
