I was wondering if the character Zhao Yun is maybe dubbed?
Because I think the voice sounds familiar.... it sounds like Wu Zun's voice.

I thought it was Benji's real voice but then I haven't really "watched" enough to be sure. If they were to dub him they wouldn't use Wu Chun. Especially since until recently they dubbed Wu Chun so people could understand him.

Ah I got a few questions if anyone don't mind answering it for me. ^^

I will put it in spoiler tag in case anyone haven't watched ep 1 yet.

Hidden:

What type of noise were classmates making when people mentioned Jiang Gan's name? This is one joke I did not get...lol. I hope I spelled his name right.

Second question is...the actor who played Jiang Gan were in all three series and yet I always wondered why he did not get his own screen in OP? Is there any reason for him not being recognized as one of cast in the show?

Before you ask why I was asking about background sounds...it's because I cannot hear so. Thanks. ^^

I "think" what they say is Gan, hard to tell when they all chant it in unison. Gan is his name of course but they imply later that it can also be a bad word. I'm not to clear on Chinese slang so... *shrug*

Zhang Hao Ming doesn't get an intro in the OP because he's not actually a main or supporting cast character. He plays the comic relief bit parts. Meaning he doesn't have to be in a episode at all and no one will miss him because he doesn't effect the plot much. If you pay attention most of the "small" characters are cast members who were in every Zhong Ji show like Ah Ken and most of the teachers from KO One. This is actually the reason Ah Chord didn't have a intro in the KO One OP but did in X-Fam. He wasn't important in KO One. In X-Fam he was vital to the plot.

Yes, "gan" in 4th tone means to do, which has become the bad 'f' word equivalent in English.

Oh! Thanks.

Even though Zhang's role is small, I found him to be sort of a "mascot" of all three series, one where you can do stuff to him, making him look foolish which is hilarious to watch. Dunno if that made any sense. Poor him being stuck with such name. pinch Is third series first time he got stuck with such name? His name in X-Family and KO One does not mean anything?

I checked dramawiki and could not find who this Ah Ken was? Ahh, I am not good at names. ^^;

I just finished episode 2 and aside from Xiu and Zhang Fei, I don't see a reason to watch another episode. Does it get better?

I guess what I'm asking is do we see less and less of the 38 year old fat guy who is missing teeth playing a HS student? Man, I can't stand Zhang Hao Ming. The only actor I hate more than him is Huang Wan Bo and I know he's gonna pop up in this cuz he's a producer. They're both horrible actors and never funny.

the story a little mehh, I have been watching it all along as it comes out. I'm at ep 15 now i think. I guess i understand why the rating went up when Jiro popped up in the drama. The plot gets interesting here and there but cheesy and corny alot of the times. But the KO series has all been like this. This kind of show is not for everybody, but if you don't like the corny and cheesy I'd probably recommend not finishing it. It might be a waste of time. But if you are just looking for something to watch, this isn't that bad either.

It'd look pretty strange if I didn't have something to say about this lol

After having subbed K.O. One, then X-Family and now K.O. 3an Guo, I really must say out of the three series, KO3 is by far my favourite series. I'm totally in love with it and I can't stop raving about it. I've watched all the currently aired episodes.

I find it funnier, it doesn't drag and the gibberish content in comparison to the previous two shows is much lower. It also seems to have a more coherent-ish plot line to it since after all it's a parody of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and is more interesting. I also like all the main characters far more than those of KO1 and XF (sorry FRH fans Tongue )

so yea... Tongue

Basing what you watch on two actors who are filler characters and not main ones is rather stupid if you ask me.

You watched all of KO One and X-Family, didn't you? Hao Ming and A Ken's roles are pretty much the same in every show. They show up when things are slow, make a few cheesy jokes, and then go away. That's why they call them filler. The story is not about them. However, they are usually more present towards the beginning.

KO3 is probably the story in the Zhong Ji series that makes the most sense since it is a spoof of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I find it funnier that the other two and the cast is much more interesting... but then Fahrenheit acting is always a bit... lackluster.

If you don't like the show as a whole, I'd say don't watch it. But if you just don't want to watch it because of a few actors, then that's a bit shallow.

(For the record... I adore Zhang Hao Ming and A Ken. They are great "b*tch" characters, in every show.)

I didn't say I based my decision on if I like either actor. As you should know Huang hasn't even shown up yet. So don't draw conclusions that aren't there. If you needed clarification, ask before you decide to call people shallow.

Thanks for answering. Is it a like a re-tread of the other 2 series? In the first 2 episodes I could basically see the set up like that's the "so and so" character. I was going to watch it because it's the 3rd in the series, but I don't wish to see the same thing over & over. Now that I think of it, you summed it up. It's should be one of the "if you're looking for something to watch shows." Thanks again.

Really!? I was afraid it was going to be a retread of the previous series.
Hidden:

I thought we'd see issues with getting Liu Bei's points up so he & Xiu could switch. Kinda like in the XF.


I was almost half through XF before I heard of KO1. Thinking I had missed something impt. I watched it simultaneously, but I didn't really have to. it was 'ok'. Though it could've used some serious editing, The Beast was kinda funny. My thoughts were if it's going to be the same thing over and over, I could just end with XF. I think I'll give it a couple of more episodes to see if I like it.

Resie, thanks for taking time out to answer. Smile
