Dare You to Death (2025)

molto interessante

La storia è molto figa, mi ha interessato fin da subito perché a me piacciono molto i gialli, sia nelle serie tv, che nei libri, negli anime, dappertutto, quindi ovviamente anche qui!! Il caso è stato super intricato ed interessante, mi è piaciuto che mi hanno tenuta in attesa fino all’ultimo episodio per risolverlo. A tratti mi ha anche ricordato Saw l’enigmista, e ho adorato tantissimo, perché c’erano anche molte scene un po’ splatter, che io apprezzo sempre.
Ho apprezzato tantissimo rivedere Chimon alle prese con la recitazione, lo amo, è stato davvero bravo, mi è piaciuto anche il carattere del suo personaggio.
Per quanto riguarda Puifai, io la odio! Basta non l’ho mai sopportata dall’inizio, però non avevo pensato che potesse essere ancora viva, quindi bel colpo di scena finale!
Jade invece mi ha fatto morire, faceva tutte quelle facce da adulatore, adoro! La storia d’amore tra lui e Kamin è stata molto carina, però una cosa che non ho capito è perché non hanno fatto combinare niente trai personaggi di Aou e Boom, sono entrati in scena in un modo pazzesco, ed ho pensato che avrebbero spaccato! Però non hanno fatto niente, non ho nemmeno capito se fossero fidanzati o meno, però i caratteri dei loro personaggi mi sono piaciuti molto, è un peccato, magari se avessero fatto la serie con qualche episodio in più potevano avere una bella evoluzione, ma pazienza, è un BL molto carino ed interessante, avrei bisogno di rivederlo tutto d’un colpo però, per capire meglio la vicenda, vedere un solo episodio a settimana è stato destabilizzante hahahah.

I See The Intention But... Such A Wasted Opportunity

I've never tried writing a review before but I'm watching BL's for over three years now and I wanted to try writing it. So please bear it with me.

Dare You To Death was one of the tough ones to watch it. Writing in this series is... well to put it kindly: childish, sloppy, unprofessional. I understand the intention when they produced this series. But, my god the story just kept getting worse and worse each episode. Irrational behaviours of police officers, stupid decisions of the victims, jarring tonal shifts from romance to "mysterious" murder scenes... The list goes on and on. Firstly, writer/s clearly did not know how law enforcement bureaus work because the errors that have been made during solving the cases is just stupid. Knowing the potential victims but not providing them protection, not asking for a full autopsy report for the first deceased, or even not interrogate the suspects/victims fully in a police station is wild. And these things I mentioned here is just a glimpse. Anyways, there is so much to talk about the script of this series; but if I get in to that, it'd be full on spoilers so I'll cut it short here. It's just full of many illogical things that doesn't even cover up other story plots and left us with a whole bunch of mess.

The acting very surprised me. In my opinion, we saw the potential of Dunk's acting in Heart Killers. He was really good in that series. But unfortunately, Joong kept getting the same roles over and over again which is a very boring caracter type for me, we couldn't see his acting range. But in this series, I believe he really outdone himself. both Joong and Dunk. They both play different characters from their previous works which is refreshing. And seeing Joong in a character that can actually show emotions was really nice. Their acting really carried this series.

If I really have to say something about the music, its just boring. GMM has stock music/sounds to play in certain scenes. And they used those musics so much that using it here too is just feels lazy at this point. Also, the production quality was a mess either. Especially for a series that's been produced for Netflix. The audio issues were jaw-dropping. The editing that caused tonal shifts were horrific. At one point, It felt as if the production team didn't like certain people who were involved in this series so they tried everything in their power to ruin this show. And clearly they succeeded.

It's such a shame that these good actors were wasted in such a sloppy series. The only reason I gave this show a high overall rating is the acting in this series.

As I said in the beginning, this is my first attempt to write a review. I know probably not many people will see this review but if there are things you want to discuss or just talk about the series, let me know so that we can discuss it.
