K-Drama
Catfish of the year!
It’s rather amusing how this show tried to convince viewers that it was deeper and darker than it actually ended up being.I struggled with the first few episodes, but the middle stretch managed to pull me in. A lot of that was because P’Jane was such a fascinating character, and it was fun to speculate about his actions and motivations. While I criticized the writing for relying too heavily on exposition to build up its characters and reducing side characters to plot devices whose sole purpose was to move the main relationship forward, I was still entertained during this part of the series.
Unfortunately, the final episodes didn’t deliver on what the show had promised. The story became repetitive, the tropes became increasingly ridiculous, and the plot holes became more obvious. My amusement with the show slowly shifted into frustration and eventually turned into boredom and indifference. Sadly, I also couldn’t emotionally connect with the characters, so I didn’t really care about what happened to them.
Overall, the show had some good ideas and an interesting premise, but the writing ultimately didn’t live up to its potential.

My typical type of drama, it totally passes my standards
Don't get too excited..It's so good, I like dramas containing absolute red flags or maybe blacks..
Story is so engaging, just continue and you'll understand what I mean.
But the coincidence of the lovers having same names is quite common.
The OST is excellent " you're red flag, but I'm colour blind " , I got extremely excited after the first time I heard, this drama is totally my typeee.
That devil looking guy is so toxic, but I like itt.
And the little Jane is too softt, totally opposite to each other.
I'm just excited to know the reason why big Jane manipulates human minds.
And make those blood contracts.

Dissapointed: Wings nowhere to find.
I'm so disapointed that wasn't a supernatural drama. I was looking forward for wings and agreements signed with blood. Something like My Demon or Lucifer?Little Jane was so wooden, same like Bella Swan in twilight. No emotions and weird expresions.
Big Jane acting was good, but I don't get it why TF he is so fixated on doing favors.
The plot had so much holes and was so cheap, no depth. Characters were too shallow, no motives. I didn't feel anything during watching.
So much wasted potential.

It’s Not As Simple As It Seems
Edit (Episode 6): I’m updating this review as the series airs because every episode keeps changing my perspective. I have a feeling this won’t be the last time I tweak it.Trying to form a definite opinion on Big Jane after only three episodes felt almost impossible, and even after six episodes, I still don’t think we have the complete picture. We’ve seen more of who he is, where some of his actions come from, and the experiences that have shaped him, but the story is still slowly revealing more about his character. I still think he could have gone about certain things differently, and I don’t agree with every decision he’s made. But as the story unfolds, it becomes harder to place every consequence entirely on him when everyone around him has also made choices of their own. This isn’t a simple case of one villain ruining everyone else’s lives, and I think that’s what makes his character so interesting to watch.
The cinematography is beautiful and does an amazing job of building tension. The wardrobe and character styling are also great, and the OST has easily become one of my favourites.
What I appreciate most is the writing. Every episode gives you new information that makes you question what you thought you knew. Whether the story completely subverts our expectations or simply reveals that the truth has been right in front of us all along, I think it’s going to be surprising either way.
When I first wrote this review, I mentioned that Little Jane was the character I found myself questioning the most. After reaching episode six, I think my perspective has shifted. I still think he has moments where he should slow down and think things through more, but I understand his character a lot more now.
If there’s one thing I’d say before anyone starts watching, it’s this: don’t take everything at face value and don’t assume you already know what’s happening. Trying too hard to force the story into one direction might make you miss what it’s actually trying to show you.
If you’ve read this far, I apologize for how lengthy this is ✋🏼🙂↔️🤚🏼

Two BLs in One: University to Office Romance, with Thrills, Mystery and Toxic Obsession
Another university BL? That was honestly my first thought before pressing play. I could not have been more wrong. Don’t Be Too Emotional starts with a familiar university setting, but then does something I genuinely wish more BLs would do. The first six episodes take us through Big Jane and Little Jane’s university years, while the remaining six follow them as mature working adults. It almost feels like getting two BLs in one. First we get the university romance, then an office romance, but with the same characters growing, changing, making mistakes, hurting each other, and carrying everything they experienced into the next chapter of their lives.And I absolutely loved that. Instead of relying on endless flashbacks to explain their past, the series actually lets us experience their entire journey. We watch them meet, fall in love, hurt each other, separate, grow up, and eventually become different versions of the people we first met. What happened during university actually matters later, and their history follows them into adulthood instead of simply being forgotten. That alone made this series stand out to me.
This series takes a familiar campus setting and turns it into something much more mature. It blends romance, mystery, and thriller elements without falling into the cringe or exaggerated melodrama that I sometimes associate with university BLs. It feels atmospheric, emotional, mysterious, and most importantly, different.
But the biggest reason this series completely won me over was Tee and Heng. I had never watched Love Truck, so this was my first time seeing them together, and I was completely unprepared for how good their chemistry would be. Every glance, every smile, every touch, and even the little moments of silence between them gave me butterflies. Their chemistry feels effortless, like these two characters naturally gravitate toward each other. Nothing feels overly forced or dependent on fan service. You can genuinely feel the attraction building between them, which makes every interaction so much more exciting.
I was also shocked to find out there is an eight year age gap between Tee and Heng in real life. Tee is 32 while Heng is 24, yet watching them together, I never once felt like they were anything other than equals. That is a testament to both of their performances.
And Tee absolutely owns Big Jane. This man is rich, mysterious, ridiculously handsome, obsessive, manipulative, emotionally unpredictable, and a compulsive liar. Basically, every red flag imaginable is waving directly in front of us, yet somehow I could not look away. His first appearance alone had me staring at the screen. Walking into the room shirtless and surrounded by almost supernatural darkness, he did not even look like a normal human being. He looked like a demon who had casually wandered into the human world, and somehow that feels exactly right for Big Jane.
Then we have Little Jane. Fearless, charming, confident, and completely unafraid of Big Jane. From the moment their eyes met on that soccer field, I knew I was going to become obsessed with their dynamic. Neither of them feels like they are desperately chasing the other. Instead, they constantly test each other, challenge each other, lie to each other, hurt each other, and pull each other closer while simultaneously trying to figure out what the other person is hiding. That tension between them is electric.
The romance alone would have been enough to keep me watching, but the mystery was what truly hooked me. There was always something dangerous about Big Jane. Every interaction with him felt like something else was happening beneath the surface. Every smile felt suspicious and every lie made me question what was real. Even during his sweetest moments, I was constantly wondering what he was hiding or what he was going to do next. Tee plays him with so much intensity and charisma that instead of wanting to run away from this walking red flag, I just wanted more of him.
The cinematography is gorgeous and the soundtrack fits the atmosphere beautifully, especially the English version of the opening song. “You’re a red flag but I’m colourblind.” Honestly, that one line basically describes Big Jane perfectly. You know this man is dangerous. You can see every warning sign in front of you. Yet somehow you keep watching and falling deeper into his character anyway.
Then Episode 6 happened, and that was when this series completely destroyed me. I usually love NC scenes, but this one hit completely differently. Every touch felt heavier, every kiss felt like a goodbye, and every glance felt like there were a hundred things they wanted to say but could not. Knowing that these would become their final moments together made the entire scene almost unbearable. It should have been beautiful, but instead it broke my heart.
And then came the letter. Big Jane writing about how special Little Jane was to him, followed by those ten reasons why he loved him, completely destroyed whatever emotional stability I had left. I cried through the entire scene, and suddenly I understood the title. *Don’t Be Too Emotional.* Because it was not just Little Jane who became too emotional. It was all of us. That was the moment this series stopped simply being a BL I enjoyed and became one I was genuinely emotionally invested in.
The transition from university into their adult working lives was easily one of my favourite things about the entire series. We were not simply watching two people fall in love. We were watching how that love changed them over time. Their mistakes did not magically disappear, their feelings did not reset, and the pain from their younger years continued to shape the adults they became. Seeing them again as mature working adults made their relationship feel much more meaningful because we had already experienced everything that brought them to that point.
Then Episode 11 gave us that bathtub NC scene, and the long wait definitely paid off. It was insanely hot. The passionate kisses, their expressions, and the chemistry between Tee and Heng had me completely mesmerised. But what made the scene even better was that it actually meant something to the story. Jane had lost his memory, and finally regaining it and remembering everything made their reunion so much more meaningful. It was not an NC scene thrown in just for fan service. There was emotion and history behind it, which made the entire moment hit even harder. It was probably one of the hottest bathtub scenes I have seen in a BL.
It is surprisingly difficult to find a BL that can deliver a genuinely good and thrilling plot while also giving us great NC scenes, but Don’t Be Too Emotional absolutely nailed both. The intimate scenes never felt like they were replacing the story. The mystery, romance, character development, and emotional journey were already strong enough on their own, while the chemistry and NC scenes added another layer to Big Jane and Little Jane’s relationship. For me, that balance is one of the biggest strengths of the series.
And then Episode 12 gave us the ending I wanted after everything these two had been through. Big Jane proposing to Little Jane was absolutely beautiful. After watching them meet at university, fall in love, hurt each other, separate, grow into adults, lose memories, find each other again, and somehow survive everything thrown at their relationship, seeing Big Jane finally propose felt incredibly emotional. We had followed these two through so many stages of their lives that the proposal did not feel like a random happy ending. It felt earned.
That is what made the finale so satisfying for me. We started with two university students who had no idea where their relationship would take them, and finished with two adults choosing a future together. After all the lies, heartbreak, separation, mystery, and emotional chaos, watching Big Jane and Little Jane finally reach that point was such a beautiful way to complete their journey.
There have been so many university BLs, which is why I originally went into this expecting something I had already watched countless times before. Instead, *Don’t Be Too Emotional* took something familiar and gave it a completely different emotional shape. We got a university romance, an office romance, mystery, thriller, heartbreak, separation, growth, red flags, beautiful cinematography, an addictive soundtrack, great NC scenes, and incredible chemistry between Tee and Heng.
Most importantly, I never felt bored throughout all 12 episodes. Every episode gave me something to look forward to, whether it was the romance, the mystery surrounding Big Jane, another emotional confrontation, or simply Tee and Heng sharing the screen together. This series proved to me that you do not always need to completely reinvent BL to create something memorable. Sometimes you just need compelling characters, incredible chemistry, emotional consequences, and a story that allows its characters to actually grow.
Tee and Heng completely won me over. Big Jane and Little Jane took me from university into adulthood, from butterflies to heartbreak, from separation to finding each other again, and finally gave me that beautiful proposal after everything they had been through.
And after everything they went through, we also got a beautiful wedding at the end. It was such a perfect and emotional way to finish the series.
10/10.

Very strong beginning but as usual it falls off a cliff....
While we have dark material, the production and the writers are too afraid to explore this setting. They just end up doing the bare minimum and making it lacorn-style with clear white and black characters. Also Little Jane is a bit strange. Does he want to know or does he not, he seems always to hesitate what to do next. Not a character I can identify with.The finale starts as a softporn with
"Put him in!"
In my head: "Where is the lubricant?" "Did you clean your h* before it? Because it does not seem that you did" and all of that.
"Harder!"
Of course he is a little bitch and he needs it very hard. 🤣
Fanservice at it's best or so... That was just funny for me. This time we have the ending of a revenge arc in the finale, because otherwise we would have bored to death with the final episode. So little Jamie got abducted from the guy who lost it all and because the writers are the writers there had to be no other solution. Even if that's exactly how the novel played out, it's stupid and the old same, same. The scene was in itself stupid. When this was my brother, I would have grabbed him, the gun and run with him before doing anything else... but no, it must be a dramatic scene for the fangirls... and so little Jane can shine a bit, hestating only a little bit... Alone for this bullshit scene and the softporn scene I deduct the rating, because both annoyed me sooooooooo much.
As expected what starts good, falls of a cliff especially in the last five episodes. I can't fault their acting, they have done well, I can't fault the production quality or the OST. but of course I have to fault the production for such a weak script again. It's watchable, but it's not really good, regardless of the many praising reviews this will receive. I'm sorry, when watching I never have my pink glasses on :) So this series is above the usual thai crap, but it could have been sooooo much better, but they failed.

The Illusion of Danger
And so, another queer journey comes to an end.As the emotional dust settles, I find myself equal parts entertained, mildly bewildered but still quietly fond of the story they tried to weave, even if the script lost its spine along the way. And by that, I mean, after episode 3.
The first half was infinitely stronger. In the beginning, the central spell worked because the dynamic had a genuine, pulse pounding tension. Is Big Jane a morally grey character? Do we trust his intentions? He has Big Boss bgm and the theme song keeps singing about red flags ? And it plays .... alot .... So I hope you like it 😂
On paper, Big Jane was set up to be a walking red flag; detached, transactional, and completely unbothered by the collateral damage of his deals.
But the script got scared out of it's own potential and instead of exploring that dark, fascinating smoulder, the writers reduced his edge to a series of 'misunderstandings.'
Meanwhile, Little Jane turned out to be a red flag of the opposite variety: ohhh noo, he was the aggressively, recklessly altruistic character. He played the hero for everyone else without leaving an inch of solid ground for himself.
Rather than leaning into the genuine danger of Big Jane’s world, the narrative devolved into a relentless and exhausting back and forth. Little Jane continuously took the side of the universe over the man he claimed to love, falling into a cycle of forced angst and irritating indecisiveness.
By episode 6, I really wished Big Jane would turn out to be a literal demon in the end, just so he could shout "Psyche!" and pull the rug out from under us all. 💀 A much more entertaining plot twist than a He said, She said so let's seperate, but no, I want you back, forever babe I promise, but oh wait, I need time to think, I can't trust you even though I know about what you do ..... sigh ....
I wanted a deeply thoughtful, maybe supernatural, kind of twisted romance and got a deeply insecure, indecisive main character and an "is he or isnt he?" boyfriend whose entire bond was built on the fleeting high of being treated like a human being in episode one 😗
Toward the end, the scriptwriters were juggling far too many burning torches. The amnesia plot in Episode 11 was completely unnecessary filler, padded solely to drag this show to a 12 ep finish line. Pacing choices felt dictated by a coin toss, and character agency took a backseat to a deeply irritating supporting cast. (Shoutout to Dan, who vanished and reappeared like a phantom solely to drop a massive plot download at the end, leaving me to wonder if the man survived on pure, unadulterated hatred alone. 😂 I was at least satisfied to see Little Jane's shooting lesson come back. There was some effort in consistency)
Despite my grievances, I would willingly step back into the circle for TeeHeng. They were, without a doubt, the highlight of this entire show and probably what kept me from rage quitting at ep. 8. While they are still a little green, their chemistry is undeniable. Once they fully settle into each other's orbit, they are going to be pretty fire, I feel 🔥
Don't Be Too Emotional was a flawed but delightfully chaotic ride. It completely failed to stick the landing, but it had enough visual flair and heart to light up my Friday nights.
And, of course, that sneaky little final scene left a window open for a Season 2 or a Special. The ultimate producer's safety net, added just in case the sales and draw are strong enough to summon them back into the studio for round 2 ☕✨

Not enough Consent
What is up with all the sexual assault? I guess I was expecting romance between them and consent.I was rooting for them as a couple. I thought maybe the rumors were exaggerated. But even if he was doing bad things at least he shouldn’t get all grapey.
my review isn’t long enough….
I started out liking this. Big Jane is hot. But the forcefullness is not sexy at all. Idk I have to make this longer still not long enough. I think his out of control anger is also too much. I don’t believe the younger brother even seems like his brother and I also don’t think he would be gambling and get into debt. Especially that L Jane has to sell himself to B Jane.

Ragebait All The Way
This series is a joke. And not a good one.I cannot, for the life of me, understand how it gets all the hype and good ratings.
Trailers vs. Actual Series
It starts with trailers that conveyed a completely different vibe than what it ended up being. We were shown an unapologetic black flag demon (not even mentioning the bl**dy library scene...), we got an apologetic red speckled green flag regular dude, who happens to have a dodgy side job.
It'd be too easy if it stopped there, though. How about changing the series' entire tone two more times? From "tragic dark romance" to "generic office romance" to "blunt soap opera". All within 12 episodes.
This I could still have lived with if the actual series wasn't this genuinely unbearable to watch.
The Characters and the Storyline
Dan
Everyone's hating Dan but, as annoying as he may be, that character is actually just a heat sink for the ludicrous plot and Little Jane. He's simply constructed to be this disgusting, so the other characters and story feel less silly. I also fail to see what he did wrong, apart from being annoying, in the first place. In the end, they had to force a crazy and completely out of the blue revenge/kidnapping plot on him to justify his villainy. I feel sorry for the actor, the role is deeply ungrateful (bro himself is doing great acting it, though).
Little Jane
Seriously, the core problem and true villain of this entire series is Little Jane and the badly constructed storyline, that relies almost entirely on him being a dense pillock, and employs rubbish soap opera tropes that were outdated and parodied already 30 years ago.
Little Jane is quite frankly the most annoying main character I've come across in a long time. His decisions and actions are always poorly thought out, with no substance behind them whatsoever. LJ practically leaves BJ the second he hears a rumor about him. He hardly ever tries to talk to him (or tries but doesn't have the backbone to really confront BJ) and the only one he ever spoke to, clearly and reasonably, was Dan, when he dumped him, oddly enough.
LJ seems like the authors fever dream self insert: the pretty, cute and innocent boy next door, who can be with you today and leave you tomorrow, without ever facing the negative consequences of his actions, blissfully oblivious, because don't worry, the hot guy will ALWAYS fight for you, no matter how many times you hurt him, and he will never want anything back from you because you're the pure and adorable dream boy.
The actor himself is super cute, but I'm not sure this role lets him unfold his potential.
The Statue
Glad they've remembered to add comic relief. Matches LJs character more than his looks.
Big Jane
The thing that mostly makes BJ look like an idiot, is that he let's LJ leave without protest, then still runs after him every goddamn time, although LJ CLEARLY doesn't want BJ and leaves him the second he gets a chance to misunderstand him. It makes you feel sorry for BJ so much that it hurts, although his own behavior wasn't all that good occasionally.
I couldn't figure out why BJ loves LJ in any way or form. LJ is bringing absolutely nothing to the table. He does not stand up for BJ one single time. Which in turn makes BJs advances even more comical.
But then again they never really explore or explain the source of either characters' love OR fear, despite all the potential, a lot of which lies in the greyscale of BJs behavior. It's beyond me why people are so set on them being together. If they weren't the main leads, you wouldn't get the idea they should be together in the first place.
For all that it's worth, the actor is doing a pretty solid job.
The Aliexpress lockets
Another thing that bugs me about BJ though is the stupid cheap a** lockets with the tack glued in, in which he collects blood. With zero supernatural element to this series, what is the point of these? Why does he keep them like sacred objects? Aren't a lot of them just from a**holes who tried to take advantage of his services? And does he make them himself? Like, with a tube of E6000 and a packet of tacks, while watching TV? If I were to ask him a favor and he pushed this over the desk I'd die from laughter. It's absolutely silly. Too bad the series isn't a parody on purpose.
Story
As for the story, there is a limit of how many times you can watch the train derail, in only 12 episodes, before it winds you up.
Rachel and Ross at least had 10 seasons.
The MCs were separated so many times for the dumbest reasons, I've lost count. They just cannot leave well enough alone for one single episode. The relationship revolving door (another soap opera staple, by the way) is moving too much and too fast. So much so, it even undermines the credibility of the happy ending. For all the times they f*cked up their relationship already, who guarantees they're not divorcing in 5 minutes, because someones cousins stepsisters best friends' colleague said BJ is still gluing tacks to Aliexpress lockets? Or some other of BJs demons from the past has a spare truck?
Every hot, cute or happy moment gets chopped immediately. It feels like they've unearthed every possible undead soap opera misfortune trope, along with every possible idiot ball, and herded them into the meeting room in which the writers were forced to conjure up this show on a Wednesday afternoon. Things are going well for 5 minutes? Oh no wait, let's have disaster strike immediately. No, don't worry if it's in the last half of the last episode, after everything seems settled and nice. Just shove it in wherever. The MCs could call the cops or at least inform someone what's going on, one of them being mister almighty powerful wish fulfilling quasi mafia CEO? Nah, let's have them rescue a child from a psycho, alone, with no support, no backup plan, no appropriate gear, no idea what's going on, but alas, in their Sundays best and a hyper car.
The tropes and plot points employed are only there for their own sake, they hardly ever serve any actual storytelling purpose. They're building up expectation and suspense, only to be gone and forgotten minutes later. Take Puts death as an example: it's not happening because it has a deeper meaning to the plot. All it does is serve as a quick and dirty catalyst for LJ and BJ breaking up. Alas, they still spend the night together, although LJ is set on BJ having killed his best friend. It's so exhausting and preposterous.
I've seen people argue there's tension all along the series, but I wouldn't call it that. Tension implies a mutual desire that's being held back only to passionately erupt at some point. What we are being served here is one sided desire (BJ), a soulless bipolar (LJ) and the "passionate eruption" comes in the form of "break up". It's not tension, it is frustration that keeps people on the edge of their seats.
The Amnesia
This crap really gets it's own point here because it's the epitome of about everything wrong with this series. I've seen people defend the lazy writers and argue that the amnesia trope is necessary because "random a** pull".
No. No, that trope very much is not necessary to the series or the relationship between the two main characters in any way or form. They could've left it out entirely and it'd make no difference. The villain plotting the accident and LJ getting hurt still would've worked on its own. LJ could've remembered the good times entirely on his own for once and Dan could still have got a punch in the face. The sole purpose the amnesia serves, is to create a cheap episode, wind people up, reset the entire story (again) and take a detour to the ending (again). Effectively they've employed the trope to turn episode 11 into a recap.
This isn't even my personal taste at this point. It is simply what the makers of this series actually provide. They provide nonsensical characters (mostly Little Jane), that resonate with the nonsensical story. It's a vicious cycle.
And this isn't intentional either, the creators just DON'T care. They think they can get away with being lazy with the story as long as they shove in every trope from whatever checklist they could conjure up from statistics. Or maybe the creators were hoping the poor attention span of people these days would make them oblivious to the repetitive and illogical narrative.
And honestly, it would not have taken too much to fix this story. The series COULD have been good, if only they'd wanted it to be.
Here's what actually would've helped the series and/or relationship:
- A well written, well paced, coherent story and plot that arches over ALL the episodes and doesn't just skip from one episode to the next.
- Well constructed characters that talk and think before taking action.
Yes, I know it's based on a novel and rumor has it the novel is equally bad or even worse than the show. Still doesn't justify they reproduce this in the series.
Quick shout-out to the actors: you guys are cute. I genuinely hope to see you again in a better series that makes sense at least halfway.

What I Liked
- OST
- acting
- set up
- the doctor
- character growth starting in episode 6
- mutually horny in the finale
Room For Improvement
- everyone just watched intimate partner abuse/violence and Jane Patrick said she had it coming to her
- 3 guys were obsessed/abusive with an average guy
- episode 3 was skippable with toxic Dan
- Jane was stupid when he asked Jane Patrick if he was okay and also what he should do in episode 5, Jane Patrick was stupid continuing to do what he did and saying he could protect everyone he cared about when he didn't have security tailing them
- no character growth after the time jump. Jane was still a people pleaser and Jane Patrick was still withholding information/being emotionally abusive by keeping Jane close to him but not showing him forgiveness
- did not enjoy the kid in episode 8, using him as a means for them to live together was weak writing
- creepy sculpture
- voice over exposition dump in the finale
- so much writing nonsense, an example was no police called in the finale

Waiting for the Storm to Clear
The thing is, I stopped watching after a few episodes. Little Jane just doesn't sit right with me, and the lack of trust makes me feel too frustrated. Because of that, I'm waiting for it to be completely aired before diving back in.I'm trying to organize and drop all my reviews for the BL series I watch, so while waiting for all the ongoing shows to finish, let me rewatch others instead! Hahaha. Hoping Jane's character improves as the story goes on, and really hoping we get more details and backstory about Phi Jane, too.

What a let down
finally,the tale of the demon big jane come to an end, the show had great cast with great chemistry, nice setting and locations, and a potential good story that sadly stayed as potential, i cant help but be dissapointed with it bcz it was a look forward for meSince ep 1, i pointed out that te serie is missing something, fpr 3 episodes we've been told about bj dark side yet we didn't get to see it, by ep 5 we got just a man with anger management issue that have no respect to boundaries and cant take a no, in 2nd half we got lover boy
I kept waiting for big reveal of dark side yet it got nowhere, than there come the boring character aka Lil jane, indecisive character, he never trusted BJ since moment one, which was why i couldn't connect with their undying love story, his wishy washy personality was my enemy, bcz instead of exploring the actual conflict, the story just kept dragging the 2jane through tge same endless cycle of separation, doubt, reconciliation, doubt again, and more unnecessary angst,
Lj would question bj, distance himself, come back, question him again, decide he couldnt trust him,tgen remember he loved him, then need more time to think...an endless loop without character development whatsoever, tgqn there come amnesia which was a filler to drag show more episodes, Dan who was a plot device than appear out of nowhere than dissappear was not intersting, his encyclopedia of information by final had no impact , gladly he died tho, anyway tgis is getting long, i kinda want to cook lil jane more but ill wrap up the review
