Manny Jacinto - Blog Posts
Okay Ima be honest-
When I first watched acolyte, I wasn't too confident in it for a handful of reasons. The premise seemed interesting tho (Im a sucker for mystery thrillers lol) but the script, acting and other aspects had me feeling offish about the show, especially ep 3. HOWEVER Lee Jung-jae (Sol), Jecki and the fighting scenes (way better than the Ahsoka show s o r r y) from the trailer kept me going.
NOW THIS MF
THIS GOOFY LIL BOY HAD ME HOOKED THE SECOND HE CAME ON SCREEN
Im one of the stupid viewers that didn't really connect the dots until episode 4 but I had doubts watching episode 5 when Osha said her mother could get into Jedi's heads like Zipper dude was doing BUT IHUDJWIUDJWIJDIWJIOAJ
For me and some other people Manny Jacinto saved the series. Every scene he was in during/after the fights were tense and had me on the edge of my seat. Especially his scenes with Lee, their the best actors in the show (my opinion don't kill me ;-;).
But yeah like many, I'm head over heels for the sexy, no chill at all villian and probably Sol too since it seems like he's got his own *ahem* DARKNESS *ahem*.
TL;DR: I had many doubts about the show but episode 5 was the best episode for me. Still have doubts and issues but the episode made me more hopeful. Manny Jaciento and Lee Jung-jae's backs must hurt from carrying this episode. They had great chemistry (platonic, they're trying to kill eachother ;-;). Also a Qimir-based appreciation post :D.
