I really like how this series is managing to overcome the all too common issue of pacing Iāve been seeing in a lot of recent shows. Having a new challenge to overcome in each episode, all pointing towards an end goal, really grounds the show and keeps it interesting. I just hope it wonāt lose this in later episodes, which I honestly fear has a good chance of happening.
am i the only one that didnt like teh's crying scenes? lmao he would burst at everything and kept crying from…
Yeah thatās valid and youāre probably not alone on that. I personally really liked them though. I think because most of us only get to see a very small amount of people actually break down crying irl (Not the fabricated pretty tears we see in media) our perception of whatās ārealisticā differs from person to person.
Ok I donāt want to be a downer because I do genuinely enjoy this show, but it just seems to me that the runtime is much too long for the story to fill. The trailer really pulled me in with the premise and the bits of story we get are interesting enough but it gets dragged down a bit by the excess of filler and the stretching out of plot points. I get that some people enjoy these āfillerā scenes, so therefore I canāt say they donāt have value or anything (art is subjective after all), but I personally think that it could have done with either cutting down on the number of episodes to make it less draggy, or adding more story elements to make it feel as if it is progressing more. Again, no hate to the show. I think itās great as it is but I just think it had the potential to be slightly better.
Didn't they drink more than one? And some are more intolerant. haha
Nah they were already tipsy af during the first game when there was approximately one drink per person on the table. But then again, as an Irish person my view may be slightly warped seeing as for most of us the stuff goes down like water š
I came here for good psychological drama i dint want love or kiss scene . BL lovers will love it but no i cant…
I agree, but someone could also be dependant on and influenced by someone while also loving them. Just because they went down that route, it doesnāt mean they claimed it to be the only outcome. I donāt think this takes away from the psychological aspect at all, because instead of a clean conclusion to the nature of their relationship the aftermath is not simple at all, it just creates another ambiguous layer to their already complex relationship.
Every performance is fittingly breathtaking and the characters and relationships are initially complex and only get more and more intriguing as the series progresses. The script is so layered and filled with subtleties I have to rewatch some scenes to fully appreciate their meaning. The cinematography and colour really showcase the care put into each shot, making it look more like film than a series.
And I truly couldn't praise the soundtrack enough. The variety of different styles and eras adds interest and is telling of the care put into the show. Jazzy drum solos remind me of the film Birdman (another psychological drama about theatre) and dissonant piano adds so much to the tension of scenes. As a cellist I love how much the instrument is used in the series, from the more sombre, dark, modern pieces to the lively baroque style pieces used throughout. I can't think of a single scene where the music (or lack thereof) added immensely to the emotional weight.
Overall this is one of the most intriguing and well made shows I've seen in a while and I really hope it keeps the momentum going for the last two episodes!
Wow what a killer episode! The only thing that somewhat confused me was the Dr Sak storyline. His last scene was so ominous and it seemed as if Sing and Gap were in real danger but then we flash forward weeks andā¦ nothing? Itās not really a major issue but I just found it a little strange how they literally never mentioned it again after this big climactic moment in the woods. Iād still say itās one of my favourite episodes and the overall writing in the series is really unique and interesting. Canāt wait til next week!
