Episode 4 - Did anyone besides me BURST into laughter at the mid-NC scene (between Sea and Lanee) product placement for the women's bras??? Hysterical!!
Knowing all of the super shady and illegal stuff Pheem has done (so far), which will probably get even shadier.....
.....I wonder if there will be an ending like "Spare Me Your Mercy" where the the cop (in this case, Than) ends up arresting his lover (in this case, Pheem)......? Even though they love each other.
Of course I could be completely off base with that theory.
okay just so I know I'm not crazy, did anyone else notice that Thup's right eye is a slightly different color?????…
In the scene where the woman brings in the bloodstained baby Thup and asks the monk to take care of him......the camera focuses on the baby's face, and the one eye is discolored even then.
I wonder if that eye has anything to do with Thup's ability to see ghosts.
I'm just now starting to watch Ep 1. The opening credit scenes are really well done, and I love the opening music.
Great start. I hope the episode is good, too. I already know what a great actor Pavel is. I just hope Pooh is better - has more presence and oomph - than his character in both seasons of the Pit Babe series.
Another one of the things I really like about this series is the music they've chosen for each episode. It feels nostalgic, and really goes well with young angst and the island setting.
I loved this episode. Honestly the best one in the whole series.That sunrise scene? Them knocked out on the hood…
I *really* appreciate series that build in scenes like the one in Ep 7, showing Lava and Wave sleeping on the hood of the truck as they waited for the sunrise. I loved it when they woke up long enough to say Good Morning, and then fell back asleep. That was just a lovely little moment.
I don't need - in fact I don't WANT - there to be "action" all the time.
The quiet scenes are important, too, and especially when they have great cinematography, those moments create atmosphere and character bonding, and they help the characters seem more human, therefore more relatable to the viewers.
So Siwat is testing his powers, sets a raging campfire alight, and then runs off to tell Khunkhao that he has better control now.........leaving the fire burning.........and the episode never goes back the abandoned campfire?
Even after Khunkhao's earlier speech about how not controlling fire could burn down the forest???
It's just......dropped? Out of sight, out of mind?
He's supposed to be a "nurse" but on his very first day on the job, he was telling the doctor what to do - and the doctor strangely never objected - saying to give up on Alan receiving treatment and to just drug him up and send him to the mental asylum.
He seems sinister to me, in some way.
-------------------------
And why do people (his father, the doctor) keep telling Alan to write EVERYTHING down and be very detailed because they need to know EVERYTHING....?
It feels like people all around are trying to see if he remembers something significant (not sure yet what that would be) because there's some secret they're either trying to find out more about......or they want to protect some kind of secret and they're trying to assess how much of a threat he and his memory are.
The writing and directing are really letting the story down, and I almost punched my screen when Ice refused to say why he got mad at Professor Mint in Ep 3. (at the 4:30 time stamp).
Also, Ja is usually a better actor than what I'm seeing in this series. Tae is.....meh. But then he usually is. And there is ZERO chemistry between them.
Overall, I'm just disappointed. There are some serious topics in this series (rape, abuse by a person in position of power, forced sex work, bullying, etc), and the script (and acting) should be better than this.

Question RE: the track list for Season 1:
Are there only 5 songs on the OST? (Well, 4 actually. One of the songs is repeated.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5Jt_VyORFs&list=RD-5Jt_VyORFs&start_radio=1
Without watching the whole series again, I can't remember if there were other songs.
If there were, can someone post a link to the complete OST for Season 1? Thank you!
