@MR.P : I HAVE to hear what you think of this season of DMD Friendship The Reality now that it has finished airing. 

I assume you mean "Third Chapter". Yeah, I'm excitedly in the middle of the newly posted and pivotal episode 5. I'll come back to report once I finish.

+++

ETA: OK, finished watching. Major spoilers below, so do NOT read until you're finished episode 5.

(1) I would've been totally crushed if North and Otto hadn't wound up together. I love them! They will definitely become one of my new favourite CPs. I have to admit, the fake-out with Phupha scared the heck out of me. Those tricky Domundi devils!

(2) I don't know whether Patji's earlier indecision was real or staged, but I would've been stunned if Patji and Ryujin hadn't wound up together, given that this ship already started sailing before the start of this series. Fans don't like broken ships.

(3) I'm very happy that Copper and Fifa wound up together, as they seem to really like each other. Although Copper's earlier indecision might well have been staged, I'm inclined to think it was real, as his bond of friendship with Pung is clearly genuine.

As always, Domundi is really good at giving me the impression that their couples are real (here: North/Otto and Copper/Fifa, not so much Patji/Ryujin).

The outcome of "Third Chapter" was very different from last year's "It Takes Two", which produced such a high proportion of pairings. Out of the nine additions since "It Takes Two" (i.e. excluding Patji and Ryujin), only four were paired up, while five remain eligible bachelors, at least for the moment. That's an outcome much more like the first "DMD Friendship" series, which produced only two CPs (Keng/Namping and Thomas/Kong) ... although Tle/Firstone formed soon after the series ended. We could potentially see something like that again now, but among the remaining five (Pung, Porsche, Phupha, Wave and Pete), I don't feel any mutual connections just yet.

Looking forward to next week's finale. From #1 above, you can guess who I'm rooting for!

Soo I finished watching all 4 episodes of Dare you Death and I have quiet the sus vibes from the avengers and that one doctor. 

I think the doctor is apart of who the murderer is buttttttt I have a feeling Fai faked her own death and the murderer is someone serving justice for her. But the thing is why  justice for Fai if she isn't dead? Well what if she faked her own death but then suddenly it turn into a real death on accident. I remember Champ and that one girl name Cher(forgot how to spell the rest of her name)  say Fai used medication but on the forensic report, it showed doses of things injected into her, and I was like "is that part of the medication that she took or is it from something else?" Let me tell y'all something, I'm a student in high school learning about medicine, the body, and other stuff. In my first year, my class was about a case(that we had to investigate) so i'm putting a lot of thought into this series.  I thought whatever was injected into Fai, it was probably something to make her drop dead for a bit but only for a little while.  But what's really suspicious to me is Champ, like dude if she is actually dead  how come you aren't mourning. I also saw a theory on Reddit , that I think it's the most realistic one. That person said when one of the persons gets a truth or dare care, the truth card mentions something that they did(something horrible) but the dare card has the name of the next victim.  I noticed Tar was the first person to get attacked but I wondered did someone could choose him? or did the killer start with him because he basically R@ Fai. But then I also wondered, did Tar choose someone? Is that why Tonkla was next? idk, there's too much that I've been analyzing about this(same with GBYFD)

Speaking of Goddess bless you from Death

I knew it,  Bom was apart of this ritual thing. But I had a feeling King would be part of the ritual. I thought he was the reason why the ritual started, because maybe he wanted attention from his dad. 

I decided to finally watch century of love, I was gonna watch in like December or Novemeber but I didn't really feel like watching it at first. BUT OMG OFFROAD IS SO CUTEEEEEE.Im not a fan of young people being actually centuries years old bc well Twilight and The umbrella academy ruined it for me(either way it sounds wrong for a 100 year old person dating someone who's 18) but I love the plot line minus the supposed age gap between San and Vee/Wee

Watched a short film from the Philippines called How to Die Young in Manila. 9/10 Symbolism on point but it's quite disturbing! I'm not necessarily recommending it, just talking about it. I'm going to watch the Singaporean short films Pure Vanila (and sequel) and Summerdaze (and sequel) now. Those I think are fluffy.

 p43425:

I have zero memory of Summerdaze, but here's what I wrote in my notes: "For 3.5 minutes with no dialogue, surprisingly good." I guess I need to re-watch it.

Same, this is why I'm re-watching it before I watch its sequel. But this goes to show it's not as memorable as I'd like it to be. For a short film to be memorable, something must be different than the usual, I think. I guess especially since there's no dialogue, the action must be remembered which is a bit difficult to do if nothing much happens. I gave it a 8.5 so it must have been a score based on vibes and nothing more lol

 p43425:

I vaguely remember "Pure Vanilla" as a nice quick watch.

Looks good based on the first few shots I watched on Youtube. I'm glad to watch more Singaporean series but I wish they'd add more to the database. I doubt Singapore only has 88 titles in their film history.

Me and Thee Final

Some of you know how much I love comedy so it makes sense that I couldn't wait to wake up this morning for the final! It delivered all the warmth and laughs as this series has done from the beginning.

I love how Peach was so patient with all of Thee's ideas on how to express his love to Peach. The looks on Peach's face when he realizes what Thee wants to do just cracks me up. Pond & Phuwin made a great duo in this drama!

I really enjoyed watching Thee's mom be just like Thee. So that's where Thee gets his cheesy grand actions from, aside from the soap operas he watched.

Thee and Peach had all my attention so there wasn't much leftover for the side couples, even though I really like PerthSanta and Est. It was fun watching Est in his role as Thee's right hand man. 

In my view there were three parts to the ending,  all really well done and hilarious.

There's a few minor issues I won't bother to mention. They don't take away my enjoyment of this drama.

A 9/10

No more Mok and Rome? NOOOOOOO
