I hope nobody minds if I share a little geek-out I had today.
As my username implies, I'm a sneakerhead. This week my sneaker life finally merged with my BL life when I noticed that during the "card game" scene in Ep3, Frame/Sprite was wearing a pair of New Balance 1906's that I'd wanted for a while but had a hard time copping. It seemed everywhere I looked they were out of stock in my size.
I finally did get them earlier this week, though, so seeing them on screen today was pretty funny. I wonder if that's a pair Frame picked up on his own or if wardrobe supplied them. From the way he sat and positioned his feet in that scene I'd swear he was trying to show them off. 😄
Great minds think alike! It’s just everyday fun fluff and I know you had to laugh and enjoy the water dripping…
The director's efforts to feature a shirtless tableau each week must be recognized! And I love how those scenes do nothing to advance the plot and are 100% gratuitous.
like, do you think they're aware we hate Zeke? 😂 I'm not rooting for his ass. 😭✋🏼
I'm sure they have no idea. They were so focused on creating a dramatic storyline that they threw away everything that made him appealing.
What bothers me now is that they're going to make Fifth suffer even more from guilt. I suspect Oxin thinks that Jericho/Zeke is the breakout star here, hence the decision to turn Zeke into some kind of dark and tormented lead character. And maybe Jericho thinks it too, because his acting has become so affected.
Orbit’s fatal flaw is that he thinks he’s smarter than everyone, so he believes nobody else could possibly think of an angle that he himself wouldn't figure out first. So he coasts along, feeling blissfully superior.
His ego depends so heavily on being the intellectual center of attention. In this show he couldn't wait to gather his apostles around him, telling them that he alone was their path to salvation. Then he cast them off, one by one. Yet they all remained loyal to the end ... just like the members of a cult.
And boy, his false modesty got really tiresome toward the end. He would also become self-depricating whenever he felt threatened by someone else in a game, so as to diminish whatever victory they might get over him.
I think the way this will end is that in the "final" timeline for young Ongsa and young Saunsoon they won't end up together. This means the car accident will never happen. Then, the older Ongsa and older Saunsoon -- who at some point will have both individually traveled back in time -- will meet for the first time as adults.
And, because older Ongsa and older Saunsoon will both have experienced their previous time travel, that means they will both have memories of being together when they were younger. For anyone else, though, those other timelines won't have existed, so those memories will be theirs alone.
This is GIOLD STUFF and shallow people won't understand.
People are so impatient, wanting everything to be explained when the series is only 2/3 complete. I'm enjoying the puzzle. I never saw today's twist coming, but I loved it.
Why is this story so confusing? Absolutely zero is ever explained (probably why they chose the name) 😑Didn't…
Ongsa survived the accident in the original timeline. When Suansoon went back in time Ongsa was still alive. What irritates me is that he didn't know for sure that Ongsa would die, he just assumed so.
As for the mechanism for time travel, who knows. I have a feeling we're just supposed to accept that it happens. (Tbh, though, what could they say that would be believable?)
Today's episode was confusing but by the end of the series I expect the time loops will be fully revealed, like in the series "Someday or One Day".
Part 3's subs didn't work for me, but the funny thing is that after I skipped it and went right to Part 4 the story hadn't advanced in any noticeable way ... and the episode still felt like it lasted an eternity.
Jericho's acting as Zeke seems to have been in "Joe Cool" mode for most of this series. I can't tell if it's an affectation or a purposeful part of his characterization of Zeke. Either way, it's gotten annoying.
At any rate, Zeke has become unlikeable enough that I'm not looking forward to the inevitable reconciliation with Fifth. I just hope it's Zeke who does the groveling and not poor Fifth.
John Master’s review highlights so many things I did not mention and I recommend reading his comprehensive commentary…
And, "Brava" for your comment!
I thought John Masters went too far in hacking the poor film to pieces, when it seems it's either a school project or a contest entry and not something that the filmmaker was trying to make money from. I hope Zee, whoever he is, doesn't take the criticism to heart.
I also suspect a half-hour time limit, which could explain why so much story was packed into a relatively brief running time.

I like that they're laying the groundwork for an "enemies to lovers" arc for "Man Bun" Mangkorn and Mawin.
Bloody Game 2 had more "secrets" and twists that made it fun, but Devil's Plan had more variety to the games, with no repeats.

Sorry, Oxin, this thing ain't no "Stay With Me". Most of us are hoping he kicks it.

Yim's completely over the top but there were some moments when I laughed out loud. I also like seeing Leo and Tai together again.
I'm sticking with it.
