Just a BROMANCE , not ROMANCE ! Very funny

Vertically filmed miniseries.

It's just a BROMANCE , not ROMANCE !😂

Very Funny.
The HEAVY BROMANCE is Misunderstood as more than bromance or something else at times by people around the main leads, where the comedy begins.

All the conversations, dialogues, actions of them are misleading that lead to the misunderstandings
And even the dialogues of others about them are misleading 😂
Impressions and imaginations of others about them are pure comedy

Gives the same vibe as
"The boy next door" KD bromance miniseries

Direction is good and acting is good
(Though looks like a low budget)
Both the actors are handsome

Childhood haters, Business rivals turned close buddies trope :)

One main lead is the soft, sweet n kind type,
while the other is the mischievous goofy one😂
Loved them both.

Truly they have formed a close bond as friends at the end :)

(Found a movie compilation, though the quality n eng sub are bad, can be enjoyed watching this.
If the quality n sub are good, rating could get better)

Poor Mita! A Good Sad Story!!

Initially SKEPTICAL to watch this but turned out to be a GOOD SAD story !
uff, Poor Mita / Poor Bok !! :(

Not only Mita/ Bok's story, the story of children's family is also good.
Overall a GOOD family drama too

Watched both parent Japanese story n the Korean Remake.
Both are GOOD.
Well written, well acted n well directed.

Korean Remake has an EXTRA plot of Mita/Bok's stalker.
And there are some differences in few other characters too like aunt character is funny n has some importance in JD, while its counterpart is less important, not so funny. And Grandpa in KD is strict n yet silly n funny, while his counterpart is so moody n an angry bird, OmG, haha
Neighbouring nosy aunty is such a silly baby doll in KD 😂, while her counterpart is just fine.
SO BOTH VERSIONS CAN BE WATCHED N ENJOYED.

(KD director n screenwriter took their own sweet time of 9 extra hours to add these EXTRA contents, so pls do watch it too, haha )

In KD, I loved character "Director Hong" (boss of Bok's agency). She is hilarious :)
(I can hear her laughing while writing this ,- "ahh, hahaha") ;)
Her counterpart in JD is just fine.
(She justs spills every secret n says OmG.. 🤭)

Initially U feel odd, weird n suspicious of the robot like housekeeper
but when life bashes u a lot, u feel that u don't deserve anything, not even a simple little Smile :(.. Sad lives! :(

SOMETIMES, LIFE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE!

OmG, Violence, Violence, Violence Everywhere!

ALERT: The PHYSICAL VIOLENCE is Very DISTURBING 😱
And the mind blowing, Sickening Twists - the PSYCHOLOGICAL VIOLENCE is Very DISGUSTING 🤢
n so be aware, it's not for Weak Hearts n Angry Hearts too 😂
Be AWARE of the EXPLICIT CONTENT too

Really, ONE OF A KIND in this Raw, EXTREMELY DARK, Gore, Mind - Bending Psychological Genre!
(Contains 1-2 incest relationships)

Hope such stories exist only in movies, not in real life!

The search for the truth by one, the revenge for the past by another, the extreme punishments given n served, everything is well written, well executed, well directed and well performed.

Choi Min Shik, Like Anthony Hopkins or Jack Nicholson scares me sometimes with his Raw Dark performances, haha

Rated low bcz of the extremely twisted crippled story n Violence, else could have rated more for the bold dark performances and the bold step to direct this by the makers.

One of the Best gruesome dark REVENGE Plots on the Main lead! :o 🤯

This movie is not for everyone!! (Explicit content n psychologically twisted story)

ALERT:
DON'T WATCH THIS, WHEN U R ALREADY DISTURBED OR AGITATED EMOTIONALLY ! 😆

Very Disturbing, Dark, Crippled, Weird n "Strictly A NO" way of saving someone by someone who is equally tormented n lost everything in life! :o :( 😂

In the first watch, U'll be shocked or disgusted with all the torture n sxl content.
But in the second watch (towards the end of the movie), U find a beautiful emotional Love story of two people, unfolding, who reached rock bottom in life, n mentally exhausted, healing together with each other's company, care n warmth.

LOVE AND LIFE DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE ALWAYS!! :(

PS: How on Earth did this Manga Author get "that idea " of saving someone!? (For the first half of the movie) ,
OmG!! Haha

**** About TITLE:
I always wondered why this is named so.

Haha, that title is very apt to the acts in the first half of the movie:

Usually, Saving someone from Trauma or depression is done by using medication/ physical n psychological treatments.

But here, Ryoji saved Makoto n instilled an idea in him to survive by using DANGEROUS DRUGS called "S*xl Abuse", OmG!! 🤯😂

If he can survive that abuse, he would surely value being alive.. this motto n thinking of Ryoji, No, the thoughts of the Author , OmG, Creepy Philosophy! 😂🤯

The Best Revenge, A Clean Sweep, hehe & Truly No Mercy for No One!

(BE AWARE:
There's lot of Violence like gruesome stabbing etc and Gore)

"This World doesn't End till Everyone Dies!"
(A dialogue from one of the eps about this Gangster World!)

Waited for this Gangster Action packed Revenge Drama n it's totally Worth the Wait! :)

***
I really like the Hype Gi Jun has in the drama - the way, everyone is afraid of him n his name, haha.
Exactly my type of drama, Silly Me! Haha

It's VERY GOOD n INTERESTING fron Ep 1.
And there is no moment of boredom throughout the series.

***
Everything is SUPERB about this drama - Direction, Editing, Cinematography, Production, Story Narration, Action scenes n Fight Sequences.

The Story is Plain, Simple n Direct but the Direction n the Editing have made this simple one, stand out in this genre.
Also, U can see a lot of betrayals, loyalty n twists in the story that u find as compelling to keep u hooked n completely make this a binge-watch worthy!
Though at times, Plot is predictable, especially about who the true villain is!

Pacing n the run time (total num of eps) are precise n apt.

Opening theme music is Very Good 👍🏻

***
Overall, The Best Revenge!! - Gi Jun truly has No Mercy for anyone! 🤭
(Though being an emotional person when it comes to his bro n friends)

BTW, there are a lot of Handsome Men in this drama🤭

My Rating is 9.5 / 10.

*** SPOILER ***
May be, this is the Only Drama in which all the characters are RIP, by the end, haha
It's almost like a "Clean Sweep"! Haha.

Also, It's funny how "Plot Armour" for Gi jun character, helped him even when severely injured or stabbed, many times throughout the drama, haha.
But Aigoo, it didn't help him in the end! :(

WEIRD & TWISTED BUT A SWEET LOVE ! :)

What I have observed is, MBS Network brings New but Weird concepts for dramas especially BLs, either there will be a character with twisted personality or an odd storyline.
(Are such Mangas, different but with refreshing themes, chosen for drama adaptations deliberately to seek the attention of the audience or just a coincidence? Haha)
Anyways, even such twisted stories or odd characters too, find beautiful True Love finally, such stories are executed very well as a drama n that makes me to love their BL dramas :)
(U can check their list of BL dramas. Almost every drama has one odd point in it but is a hit with 8+ rating :) )

Such stories are Extremes, either U LOVE them even being peculiar or HATE for all the nonsense n toxicity, haha

That said, even this drama depicts a Story of Two problematic characters.

***** STORY:
The Story revolves around only two characters -- Two extreme introverts, who act immature or obsessive, can not communicate their feelings clearly and with dangerous levels of own assumptions n prejudices.
A Story of Love and Emotional bond between two such persons.

This drama proves that even such extreme reserved people can fall in love deeply with each other and have a Happy Ending (though troubled n bumpy throughout the journey).

This couple proved that deep love can exist between twisted personalities too, who usually take a negative meaning of anything and everything, even when love is expressed in a positive way.
This negativity is all bcz that the love expressed in actions, is indirect. Though in deep love, they really can't express it directly in words n that is the greatest drawback in their relationship.

It looks like a Master - Slave relationship but No. It's an Unrequited Love from both their points of view.
(God, these babies! Eye rolls, Haha)
Each of them, thinks the other doesn't reciprocate their love and this confusion happens only bcz of Zero or No Open Communication in their relationship, Wrong Own Assumptions & Lack of Transparency in their thoughts with each other.

This confusion continues throughout the drama to the extent that irritates the viewer, haha.

Also, this Master - Slave relationship looks toxic but in the end, it is shown as it's their weird way of loving each other, (What !? :O Poor me, for tolerating their twisted love tale till the end n yet enjoying it, haha)

As a viewer, U'll have an extreme Love - Hate relationship with this story.
(Some might find this boring, toxic n may drop this drama while others, like me, though it is toxic, find it cute n love it :) )

*** Just a Fun Thought:
Some PROBABLE EXAGGERATED REACTIONS of the viewers (like me, haha) while watching this drama:

1) Seeing their misunderstandings n lack of communication even over silly topics and getting irritated n tired of watching those misunderstandings repeatedly, U get angry n wanted to scream to their faces saying "Silly Bakas, Just Talk!", haha

2) But then in the next frame, when they are Sweet n Caring, U will be in happy tears seeing them all fluffy :)
(Me, Too much Drama! Hehe)

3) Also as though, One introvert character being silent n unreasonable with overthinking n own assumptions, is not sufficient, the director and the writer gave us two such MLs, OMG! :o

(Haha, this story really creates anxiety issues to the viewers 🤭)

***
Overall, though a Weird n lil Toxic Love bcz of all the Unnecessary Misunderstandings, Assumptions n Zero Open Communication, still I love Segasaki n Yoh ! :)
(Maybe, my PMS moods made me to love this toxic tale!? :O, God! Haha)

Re-watched it many times.
Poor Boys! They are such babies in love complicating everything unnecessarily :)
Silly Bakas! ;)

*****
Direction, Story Writing, Story Narration, Story Progression n Pacing, EVERYTHING NEEDS IMPROVEMENT.

THIS IS LOVELY ONLY BECAUSE OF THE CAST & THEIR PERFORMANCES, else this love story of Zero Communication is impossible to watch.

Cinematography n Production are Cool.

***** ACTORS & CHARACTERS:
Anyways, Segasaki is better and mature than Yoh, though gloomy & introvert like Yoh or faking being social with everyone else at job.
Sega, may not be direct but atleast he tries to express his love indirectly through his actions n unfortunately Yoh takes all such actions of Sega as controlling or obsessive and never tries to show his own love towards Sega :(
Both are Weird enough n Sega is better than Yoh in that weirdness too! :)

Usually, it's boring and frustrating to watch such a relationship which is full of misunderstandings but these TWO ACTORS (Higuchi Kouhei and Mashiko Atsuki) really brought out the quirky eccentric nature of both the characters and their weird love for each other, they brought life to the characters and hence made this drama watchable, tolerable and a lovable one! :)
If the casting to these two roles is different or if the characterization is different, I wouldn't think that I could watch it.

And so the Actors' Performances are AMAZING and done right to their roles!👌🏻

I really want more of their love, only these two actors in these roles.
Though it's a love with misunderstandings and painful but at the times when they are sweet and caring, it's too Fluffy n Hot to watch :)
Their Sweet Moments are Full of Passion and Strong Love :)
(I want more than 8 eps, haha)

Sega n Yoh are so SAME being introverts n yet DIFFERENT - Yoh is too silent n immature while Sega is reasonable n mature at times.

Manju (Yoh's female friend) n her husband are Sweet.
While our boys couple is Hot.

Actor Kouhei (Sega) is cool.
Actress Sayuri (Manju) is pretty.

Actor Atsuki (Yoh) :
Our Hagi (my fav char) from JDrama "How I Attended an All-Guy's Mixer".
His role here is a complete contrast to that role, Hagi.
And Atsuki performed very well in showing the variations in both the roles -- comedic (there) vs introvert (here).
There, he is loud, goofy n a confused funny soul🤭 n here, too silent :/

The actors' chemistry is Natural and Realistic!
Now, Sega n Yoh are one of my fav BL couples just bcz of the actors Kouhei n Atsuki! :)
SEGA -YOH, weirdly, THEY ARE MADE FOR EACH OTHER! 💕

***** SOME MORE RANTING:
This series is saved only by these two Actors and their Amazing & Lovely Chemistry.

Even such Imperfect Story Would Be Perfect, if some of these are made clear in the drama:

1) Why Sega proposed a live-in, instead of a direct love proposal first, that too to our dumb Yoh (who takes his own meanings n misunderstands even when a matter is said directly)?
Maybe a back story from their college days, just one more scene of Sega's thought process when he fell in love with Yoh in college n the reason to make an indirect proposal.

2) During College days, how long they were friends and Now from how long they were dating or living together?
All such time periods, if shown exclusively, it will be clear to the smooth flow of the story and easy to understand their story.

Also if the Ending is made little better, this toxic story would be perfect bcz of good character arc.
But now the Ending gave a vibe that there is absolutely no character development for both the characters :(

****** SPOILER *******
ENDING is lil disappointing bcz they are back to square one :(

They got a Happy Ending and Communication between them is improved a bit in finale (ep 8) but again dropped to level zero, fell back to the starting point n making both of them to do the same mistake - "Lack of communication, only inner voices with own imaginations".

Few important matters n misunderstandings are still left unclear between them n so back to almost zero communication like in the beginning, God! :(
For eg, Yoh n Sega should have cleared that misunderstanding about Manju's Husband :o

If everything is cleared, it would have helped to build Trust with better understanding n avoid any sort of assumptions or misunderstandings further in their relationship.

The FINALE ep gave an INCOMPLETE FEELING as though it is RUSHED to give a RANDOM CLOSURE :(
Their misunderstandings are not clarified, still they have trust issues & obsessive childish behaviour even at the end.
There is No Maturity in their Relationship and absolutely, No Character Growth towards the end that U expect after 8 eps.

Sega is not a person who says "I Love You" in Words but expresses his Love only in his Actions.
Yoh is a person who cannot understand Love expressed in Actions.
Right from the time Sega proposed live-in (in the beginning of the series) and the actions done by Sega out of Pure Love, Yoh took everything as a Master - Slave relationship was proposed by Sega :o :|
N so Now in the end, when Sega with great difficulty, pushed himself to express in words, asked Yoh to stay forever with him, he meant "Love/ Lover" but our dumb Yoh may take it as "Slave" forever..
( God, these two! :|
It's my bad to expect character growth, haha)

This Ending is not like a Happily ever after with all misunderstandings cleared but it's more like a Cliff hanger Ending with temporary happiness with only few issues cleared + still, a lot of misunderstandings + still, lack of communication, jst like how they were in ep 1.
I'M DISAPPOINTED WITH THE ENDING! :|

Whether they did get or no but I didn't get a Full Closure to their story, haha
POORLY WRITTEN CLIMAX!

So Need S2 or a Special Episode to conclude this story but with more clear and transparent communication between these two extreme Introverts.

***
Kouhei n Atsuki in Behind The Scenes, all smiling, are so lively n lovely, unlike the gloomy vibe in the drama.
And so, this shows that they acted their roles very well (that variation of lively, offscreen irl vs gloomy, onscreen)

***** OST:
Opening n Ending themes are Very Good and suit well to the theme of the drama.

MV of the Opening theme is very lively & playful as they are all smiling n playing in rain like a cute couple, in contrast to the gloomy vibe in the drama :)

Piano BGMs are Good, Soft and Soulful.

***** RATING:
My RATING for my silly boys is 9.5 / 10.

(Though my Review looks like a lengthy Ranting, I love this drama a lot to the extent that I can't give anything other than a positive 9.5 , hehe)

One of my fav dramas n fav couples !! ✨
I MISS THEM! :|

So, THE CHILD WHO WOULDN'T COME TO SCHOOL, doesn't leave the teacher or the World too! Haha

Eerie n Spooky but VERY INTERESTING to watch!
(Be aware, contains Gore)

As said in my Review of "8 years" of this anthology, Out of all my Horror genre watching experience, found UNIQUE n REFRESHING concepts in this anthology of 3 miniseries.

This miniseries is a PERFECT BLEND of Two Genres - Crime Suspense Mystery and Horror (not just Horror) and that makes it Unique.

Not only the Horror track, even The Mystery n Suspense track has a Scary vibe n both tracks are very interesting n gripping.

Just a thought!
This plot can be made into two individual stories, one a complete crime mystery thriller (killer / stalker) alone with great suspense n another, a complete horror alone. Either ways, it would be great.

But here, this mix n intertwining of both the elements of Killer/Stalker Mystery n Horror, is even more Good.

*** STORY:
As the title suggests n obvious that this is a High School setting, in this miniseries too.
(Guess, The location - the school building is the same in both miniseries? )

The Story is built very slow. Throughout the series, there is a calm, dark, eerie n spooky vibe for not only the Crime Mystery track but for the Horror track too.
Pacing is slow at times.

(Watched 4 eps version)
That 180 degree turn of the first 3 episodes' Killer/Stalker Mystery Thriller into a complete Horror in 4th ep, is a good surprise (can be guessed to some extent), very smooth, written very intelligently and very well directed.

Apart from the mystery track in first 3 episodes, the horror in ep 4, is a serious psychological n dark theme (U can't really get out of the situation caused by the Entity :( ).

The New concept called "Doppelganger" introduced in this horror track, gives chills to the spine and super scary.

Doppelganger - A Devil/ Entity/ Spirit in human form exists n it never dies.
It goes around from one person to another like a virus, completely taking control of the person's body, soul and identity 😱

***
Also, in the entire first three episodes, there's a constant confusion to the viewer about the genre, haha.
The mystery of the characters and the suspense created that confusion suspecting, whether it is truly a horror or the haunting scenes are just hallucinations of FL or the murders are really by haunting spirits or by any killer like in a mystery crime thriller.

The stalker scenes are very creepy which makes one to freak out.
While, there are lot of Scary Jump Scares for Horror genre lovers :)

The Mystery n Suspense are well maintained.
The Mystery part is More Creepy n Scary than the Horror part😂

***
Cinematography n Production are Good.

Story writing, Screenplay, Direction n Story telling are Very Clear n Right to the Point .

Taking and the Quality of Camera Work are Neat.
Pacing is Slow at times.

Opening instrumental theme is Good.
BGMs for horror n mystery scenes are different n apt to the respective scenes.

*** ACTORS / CHARACTERS:
Almost every character is creepy, especially the male student, Young Seok (Roll Number 11) n the male teacher.

Young Seok is the most mysterious character n a freak but in ep 4, there's a twist and the Scary truth about this character is out.

In ep 1, the mystery around Young Seok and the suspense whether he is a ghost or a human, is well maintained

He is an Obsessive Psycho stalker n killer, saying creepy things like
"You smell nice, the smell of a good person; Give any of your body part as a token of your memory " etc 🤯

Actor Jung Yoon Suk acted very well as this mysterious Young Seok, with that spooky smile n evil smirk 😨

FL is cute n her character is sweet.
Her (Teacher) investigation about the students, especially lonely outcasts n about roll num 11, are good .
Meanwhile, due to her past trauma, she faces scary haunting experiences.
(These haunting scenes are suspicious initially, whether they are truly of a ghost or just her hallucinations and the truth about this, is revealed later)

Her trainee teacher female friends, those three gals are funny n sweet, haha.

That male teacher is Crazy but funny at the same time.
His dialogue delivery is hilarious, haha.

*** ENDING:
There is no loose end left out.
By the end, every point has been given a clarity

The ending is creepy 😨
A Usual Horror movie has a Happy ending when the ghost is warded off but here, the haunting starts at the end again :o

So in the end, the child (devil in human form) who wouldn't come to school, doesn't leave the teacher and the World :o :| 😂

***
My Rating is 9 / 10.
(If not for the SLOW PACING, this would be 9.5 /10 )

Don't miss to give a try! Especially Horror genre lovers who love to watch every type n a variety of Horror concepts.

PEE NAK COMES BACK WITH ANOTHER CURSE N ANOTHER ROUND OF HILARIOUS RIDE !! :)

Like PN 1, this too, is Not Scary.
And is MORE HILARIOUS n CHAOTIC than PN 1 😂

As said in my PN 1 Review:
Thai Comedies (Horror or Rom-Com), as usual, are always CHAOTIC ! :)
(If U are aware of Thai comedies, only then, U can enjoy this.
Bcz Every Country has its OWN TONE OF COMEDY, especially Japan or Thai comedies are not for everyone)

***
A Good Mix of Horror + Comedy + serious stories of the ghost's past and the main story.

Here, the TWISTS in the Main Story are Interesting to watch.

Apart from the Ghost's past n the main story, here a New Story of Rebirth / Past lives of some of the characters Aod, Noht, First, Balloon n the ghost, is beautifully blended into the main story.
This "Past lives" story is Interesting n Well Written .

***
Like in PN 1,
Even here, The ghost story n the main story depict religious process n rituals like "Ordaining to be a Monk", "Disrobing" etc in Buddhism and are Very Interesting to watch.

The Stories of Naga, boon of the Naga - "Nak" in the ordain process etc n the ghost's past life (how and why it has become a Vengeful Ghost), n how they are related to current main story, are Well Written.

The haunting scenes are funny n chaotic 😂
Even the scenes of the team trying to find solutions to the curses, the Buddhist Monks helping the team to ward off the ghost n to revoke the curses, are funny😂

***
Director Mike is known for Comedy genre!
Production, Screenplay are good enough.
Locations are cool.

***
Initially, there is a confusion whether there are 1 or 2 Curses, not only to the viewers but also to the characters too🤭

First Curse is the same as PN 1:
Whoever gets ordained at a particular Buddhist temple, dies.

Second Curse:
Whoever ordained in that particular temple, can't Disrobe (leave monkhood), else they die.

So the ghost keeps haunting, disturbing the process n not allowing anyone to be ordained /disrobed there.

Later, it is clear that the 2nd curse is the only curse in this movie n the adventure to find a solution to that curse, continues.

The confusion of the first curse is created bcz of Mean's character, who is trying to be ordained in that temple.
While the Disrobing curse n the related chaos is bcz of characters First and Balloon who are trying to leave monkhood, after getting ordained in PN 1.

The way how PN 1 n PN 2 are related with recurring characters, is well written.
The Naga hooded Buddha Amulet is just referred in PN 1, while it is the main story here.

***
Every Actor performed well.
Every Character is lovable.

The recurring characters n the cast, August, Aim, James, Pond n Tar are cool.

Aim n James as queer characters are hilarious n chaotic, as usual 😂

New cast n characters introduced here, are funny.
There are so many young Novice monks here, the boys look silly n funny.
First, Balloon, Noht n Aod with these young Novices are more chaotic😂

Mean is cool n plays a K-pop idol character.
Mean looks like KDrama actor Park Seo Joon ;)

Placement of that Insurance advertisement as a part of the story is funny.

***
In the end, the curse is revoked, the ghost is relieved / warded off peacefully and the ordain process of Mean's character n Disrobing of First, Balloon happens as planned n peacefully.

The movie ending gives a hint to next part /Sequel.

***
My RATING is 8.5 / 10

*** COMPARISON OF THE MOVIES IN THIS FRANCHISE:

Can't really Rank any movie as the most or the least favourite, in this franchise.
My Rating for all 4 is the same n liked all 4 equally bcz one with more comedy, another with subtle comedy but all have serious stories.
And so ALL 4 MOVIES ARE ENTERTAINING n FUN TO WATCH!

In terms of Comedy,
PN 4 < PN 1 < PN 2 < PN 3

In terms of Story,
All have Serious Interesting Stories.
Story of PN 1 is a simple one while the other three have twists n little complicated stories.

Also, Watched this franchise long ago n remembered these as STANDALONE n UNRELATED MOVIES n need to watch all, just to know the background and the relations of the Recurring Characters.

But now when I re-watched all 4, realised that all 4 movies are RELATED, may not be a Proper n Direct SEQUEL to each other.
But One movie's storyline is taken from a scene or concept from the previous movie. That's how they are related.

For eg;
1) PN 2's main storyline "One old Monk n Buddha with Naga hood Amulet" is discussed in 1-2 scenes in PN 1 n are elaborated in PN 2 as the main story.

2) PN 3's "Past lives, stealing Golden Anklets etc" is depicted in PN 2 n are elaborated in PN 3 as the main story.

3) PN 4's Naga n Plan's character is shown in two scenes in PN 3 n are elaborated in PN 4 as the main story.

And so Need to watch all 4 movies in the same order to understand n enjoy the franchise.

Also, it's fun to watch the recurring cast n characters in the franchise :)
Actor Tar, literally grew up along with this franchise, haha .

Give a try! Especially Horror genre lovers who love to watch every type n a variety of Horror concepts.

GOOD HORROR + CRIME DRAMA WITH TWISTS!!

Out of all my Horror genre watching experience, found an UNIQUE n REFRESHING concept - A Mix of Police Investigation n Horror (Haunting Ghost killings) .

For a change from the usual horror stories, here, the Vengeful Ghost killings are mistook (atleast by the police detective) as Serial Killer's killings😂 n an extensive police investigation is carried out accordingly.
Considering 8 years back past murders and present day murders, Police concluded that either a psycho serial killer is at loose or a copycat killer has emerged .
I found this concept, New n Good n at the same time, Funny .

***
The miniseries is of High School setting as the title "Strange School Tales" suggests.

(Watched the 4 episodes, 30 mins each Version)

Story is Good with a lot of TWISTS but the Production, mainly the Quality of the Camera Work looked like decade-old movies n so Surprised to know that this is a 2020 series n not of 2000s or 2010s.

Initially, Very SLOW PACED but later, it got INTERESTING - The Haunting, The Past n the Present murders, The Suspense of the Murders etc.

Screenplay is Good.

The Murders of the present day n those 8 years back, all happened n happening in the same High School, the main stories of the past n present, every murder story, everyone related to them n the Plot Twists, EVERYTHING is WELL WRITTEN n WELL EXECUTED.
But at times, it gives some Unclear vibes (either the Story or Screenplay or the Editing) n so gives a feel of lacking something.

Every Actor performed well.
The Priest, the variations in his character are surprising n that actor acted those very well.

The three guys, classmates from the past, how each one of them became a Detective, a Teacher (in the same High school where they are the alumni) n a Priest, especially why the Priest chose to be a priest, n how they are involved n related to the deaths back then n to the deaths of present day, is Well Written .

Even that suspense is well maintained, some are predictable n the other plotlines are surprising.
The Ghost gal's past story is sad n the killer is a surprise.

The Ending is cool, apt to the Horror setting of the Story - The Ghosts got their revenge n deserved justice.

***
I found the New Approach of a Serial Killer, discussed here, as Very Funny😂

So here they say, a Serial Killing happens when multiple ghosts / vengeful spirits enter into one person's body n take their revenge n so the killings look random n like a serial killing, huh !? :o
So, they suggest to blame the spirits n not the serial killer (human), what? 😂
So, It's all the mistake of the spirits n not the psycho serial killer? Haha.

***
My Rating is 8.5 / 10.
For the Story, it would be 9 but bcz of bad camera work, sad to give less rating.

If the Direction, Production, Cinematography, BGM n the Quality is maintained right to the point, Rating would be 9+ .

Give a try! Especially Horror genre lovers who love to watch every type n a variety of Horror concepts.

Started INTERESTING but Ended as a NOT SO IMPRESSIVE ONE!

Movie and the Series are Not Related.
The common point in the movie n the series is that both are about Rumoured Haunting Ghost stories in High School, shared by the students, late in the night for fun n to pass the time but the haunting actually happening 😂

***
Movie started VERY INTERESTING with GOOD Horror Suspense n Jump Scares but ended with a NOT SO POSITIVE IMPRESSION!

The Second Half of the movie is BORING.

***
A group of High School students / members of school's Marching Band on one night in the school, Each took turns to share a haunting ghost story rumoured in their school.
There are 4 such stories.

(All these 4 high school haunting stories are very simple, just like rumoured ghost stories that we enjoyed gossiping about, in secret whispers with friends in school days and getting scared for no reason 😂
Same Vibe, screaming for no reason! Haha
Simple but Scary for no reason back then :) )

Later, those 4 students are haunted by the ghosts, same like how they said in the stories.

Here these haunting scenes are VERY GOOD. The horror vibe, the scary suspense, those Jump scares, all are GOOD n will be loved n enjoyed by Horror Lovers :)

And everyone in the friends group together, started solving the haunting stories to ward off the ghosts peacefully, by finding a solution to each ghost story.
From here, the movie got BORING.
The Ending to each story looked PLAIN, Rushed n Boring!

***
There's a 5th ghost story (the last one). It gave mixed feelings - not impressive, not bad!

Everything looked simple but a bit confusing at times with the characters.

***
Instead of as an Anthology of 5 Different Unrelated Stories happening one after the other,
Here the movie has all 5 Different Haunting Stories Unrelated but Connected by all friends Sharing, Experiencing the Haunting that is happening in parallel n Solving all stories, TOGETHER.

I liked this idea of writing the intertwined stories , All in One!
(stories are not related but everyone experienced it at the same time).

***
Good to see few known actors :)
Acting n Direction are mediocre.

Overall, can watch this for fun n to pass the time.
Not Very Boring n at the same time, Not Very Good.

***
My RATING is 7 /10.
(7 for the initial interesting horror suspense n jump scares - Good Horror Vibe)

THE BEST IN ITS GENRE !! Horror + Comedy + Beautiful Emotional Love Story.

This is One of My First THAI HORROR COMEDIES that I had watched long ago n still One of the BEST for me! :)
(I still remember almost every scene, that's how strong this movie had made an impression :) )
AN ICONIC MOVIE IN ITS GENRE !!

A VERY BEAUTIFUL, yet a SAD EMOTIONAL LOVE STORY with a GOOD TOUCH of HORROR and COMEDY .

*** STORY:
Movie is an adaptation of a story/ Legend which is based on Thai Folklore.

The Story itself, is Legendary n Iconic!
Their Love is Pure n True 🤍, such a Tear-jerker! :(
Even Death Can't Separate them!! :|
n that Ending, for such a Story is Inevitable!! :(

Usually, sad endings are tend to be avoided by many n won't be interesting to rewatch.
Here, Though a sad ending n though there are many adaptations of this Thai folklore legendary story, it's never tiring or boring to watch this story n its adaptations.
Such a Beautiful Love Story! :)

This story being sad n emotional, can be adapted into a serious horror or a comedy horror.
Good that this team chose to add comedy element to this beautiful sad story n made this serious horror :/ as a comedy horror :)

***
Set in War Times n so U can see the old Thai dressing style :)

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography Production (apt to the war setting) n Pacing, EVERYTHING IS RIGHT TO THE POINT!

***
FL Davika is very pretty :)
ML Mario is cool
They are cute together as a couple :)

***
Thai Comedies (horror or rom-com), as usual, are always CHAOTIC ! :)

The friends Gang is SUPER HILARIOUS!
Lot of Goofy n Loud Screaming😂
They are the sole reason for this movie to take a turn from emotional to comedy.
Without their scenes n their comedy, this would just be a sentimental one.

Even the scenes of Buddhist monk helping the team to ward off the ghost, are funny, haha

Came to know actor Phuak from this movie n watched some of his other Horror Comedies :)

(If U are aware of Thai comedies, only then, U can enjoy this.
Every country has its OWN TONE OF COMEDY, especially Japan or Thai comedies are not for everyone)

My RATING is 9 / 10.

***
I watch Horror genre alot, almost covered many horrors of many countries, Asian, Western, Turkish etc etc :)
n so watched The Indonesian adaptation of this, "Kang Mak From Pee Mak".
Though it's almost scene to scene remake, loved this original Thai movie ONLY.
THE VIBE, THE ACTING n THE COMEDY, EVERYTHING IS RIGHT n INTERESTING here :)

ENGAGING, ENTERTAINING n ENJOYABLE DRAMA! The Best Work of Director New!

3 Reviews in One! Haha
(My Initial Detailed Lengthy (20K characters) Review is REJECTED :( )

PERFECT 10 LINERS on EVERY SUNDAY was a PERFECT WEEKEND!😎
Invested 6 months of my lifetime :) (screened for 24 weeks) for this long journey of 3 Main Couples, 3 Side Couples, 6 Different Love Stories, Many Friendships, ENSEMBLE CAST n Lovely Cameos.

**** DIRECTION:
This is the BEST WORK OF DIRECTOR New!
Watched 16 of his works before 2025. This is the Only One, I could rate 8.5 or 9 without second thoughts, NO MOMENT OF BOREDOM THROUGHOUT THE SERIES here.

His previous works (Super Hits too) have Great Plots, Actors with Great Fanbase (most of his MLs are my favs :) ), Very Interesting n Very Impressive but contain Irritating, Boring REPETITIVE Content that U can't really Skip, either for the Story or for fav actors :/.
Can tolerate Repetitions but anything in excess, spoils the interest n impressions!
So, Skeptical to watch but tried.
Here, I won't Point my Fingers at him! Haha

**** EPISODES:
A DEFINITE n DEDICATED SLOT, 8 eps per Couple, like an Anthology of 3 Main Stories.
Since Shared Universe n need to co-exist, merged together as a 24 ep drama.
This point made it MORE INTERESTING
**
I say "No more Student BLs, "Tired of Engineering Uniforms n WHITE Shirts, want some COLORS, haha"
n yet I watch, not to miss an actor's performance.
Liked this, even it's a BL with routine Varsity setting :)

The Story Telling, Progression n Execution are GOOD, for this Simple n light-hearted Plot (No Heart-wrenching Tropes or Toxic characters)

The INTERTWINING OF ALL COUPLES' STORIES is SMOOTH.
PACING is RIGHT.

Each couples' friends gangs n hang outs are different. There's another for 3 Main Couples with seniors -The Perfect 10 Liners Group.
All these intertwined friends' stories are beautifully Directed.
(The writers n director might have drawn many Venn diagrams to clearly Plan the Screenplay n Editing of the Unions n Intersections of all these Multiple Sets of friends' gangs and their scenes, haha)

**** STORIES:
So We got:
1) ArcArm Story - 8 episodes
With
PondSand Story like peanuts, JetYeepun with almost Zero Screentime n their friends gang comedy.

In specific, tracks of:
PondSand.
JetYeepun, already a couple n so No Story, just scenes with the gangs. Zero Screentime, ALONE as a couple :( .
Ex gf of Arm.
Two Probable admirers of Arc.
Mistaken admirer of Arm, Thongfah -Sea is cool.
Comedy Trio Arm, Po n Sand (Poon n JJ SHINED in their roles✨)
Arc n his two friends -Gawin n Drake are cool.

2) YothaGun Story - 8 episodes
With
Lovey dovey scenes of ArcArm, little KlaoWarit Story, more of Yotha's fights at bar🤭 n Gun's friends gang comedy.

In specific, tracks of:
Yotha's ex bf.
ArcArm dating era.
Lil KlaoWarit.
Little base to FaifaWine Story, with Faifa as Yotha's brother.
Comedy Trio Gun, Faifa n Kong
Fun moments of Gun's friends Faifa, Kong, Franc n Book (Aun, Aungpao, Ford are funny)
Fun moments of Gun's senior, Sam -Title is cool
Sweet moments with Gun's family -Jamie is extra sweet n funny here, as Gun's sister :)
Group moments in Newton's bar with Newton n Nop -Pepper n Yacht are cool

3) FaifaWine Story - 6.5 episodes
With
FREQUENT lovey dovey scenes of ArcArm, YothaGun n KlaoWarit, invading the space/slot of FaifaWine n reducing their screentime within these 6.5 eps :o n their friends gang comedy.

In specific, tracks of:
Ex gf of Wine, Toey -Ployphach is sweet.
Ex crush of Wine, Tor -Ohm is cool.
ArcArm, YothaGun n KlaoWarit dating era.
Fun n Sweet moments of Trio Wine, Jay n Ben (actors Franc n Tee look alike a little, Confusing! ;) , they are sweet).
Fun moments of Faifa n his friend Phuri (Louis with his English n echoing while speaking, is very funny).
Group moments in Newton's bar.

4) KlaoWarit Story - 1.5 episodes
With Lovey dovey scenes of ArcArm, YothaGun n FaifaWine (all in relationships by now)

The BRACELET UNCLE TAWAN (as called by these boys🤯, my baby Tay :) :( ), a Cameo in all the stories.
Like Secret Santa giving out gifts, this mysterious alumnus playing Cupid, giving out Love bracelets (Oops, P10L Group Bracelets, haha ) to his juniors

****
Overall, these Different Stories teach that LOVE IS THE MAGIC PILL THAT HEALS EVERY FEAR N TRAUMA, helping to move on n grow individually in Life, together! ;)
Lucky to meet the Right Person at the Right Time in the Right Situation!

****
IN TERMS OF LOVE STORY:
FaifaWine's - The BEST n Healthiest Bond.
YothaGun - EMOTIONAL
ArcArm - PLAIN (if this doesn't feel like a Spin Off of ForceBook's BL "A Boss & a Babe" with University Setting, their story would be entertaining n 2nd Best)
JetYeepun's - SWEET
PondSand's - CUTE
KlaoWarit's - AGGRESSIVE & SOFT at the same time
ALL THE COUPLES COMPLETE N COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER !! :)

IN TERMS OF COMEDY:
ArmPoSand > LouisFaifa > Other friends gangs

Faifa is the BEST Character (with his strongest n weakest :))

***** ACTORS n CHARACTERS:
All are handsome but Jeeratch with his dimples🤤, Tay Tawan n Force are more handsome.
Emi is sweet.

Arc is Cold, Grumpy n Persuasive.
Force is like a handsome Anime character with those Sexy Smirks😏, giving irritated side-eyes n cold demeanor :)
Force is a good actor but he looked uninterested n uncomfortable, esply in the group scenes of last 16 eps:o . Character demands? Anyways, No complaints!

Like Book in mature roles only, not in comedy. Arm is Goofy. Poon n JJ really helped with his comedy track.

I admire Perth for "Eye acting" :)
Love his Voice, soft n calm. It sounds more mature than his baby face, haha
Yotha is Aggressive (our boy punched the one who teased Faifa in kindergarten itself😏)

Both Arc n Yotha are Silent, dangerously Possessive n Clingy to their bfs ;)

Love Santa. Gun is Sweet but little tired of Gun smiling ear to ear non stop.

Junior performed very well as Faifa.
Love Junior/Faifa the most! :)
FAIFA IN LOVE is so DRAMATIC, Funny, Goofy n Fluffy ;)
A warm n lovely person :)
An extrovert like him being unhappy is not only sad for him but also it's bad to everyone around him.

Mark gives an Elegant Princely Aura in whichever role he plays Wine is Composed n Gentle.

Love AouBoom, MarcPoon, JeeratchEmi.
Marc's acting -previously improved but bland again, character demands? :O

Loved Everyone's performances in COMEDY roles, HILARIOUS !😂

**** RANKING of COUPLES:
FaifaWine,
JetYeepun,
PondSand /YothaGun /KlaoWarit,
ArcArm (Liked them in others' stories than in their own, haha )
Mom n Dad🤭
(Mom is the talk of the show, most hated char, so should be rated, haha)

**** COUPLE LOVE STORIES:
Though ArcArm love story is boring like I said above, enjoyed only bcz of Jeeratch, MarcPoon n mainly bcz of the Comedy.
HILARIOUS Trio really gave a boost to those 8 eps, kept me interested n saved from boredom :)

Arc helped Arm to overcome his fear of not to love again n get hurt.
Meanwhile, grumpy Arc became soft bcz of Arm's love! :)
**
YothaGun's story is Emotional bcz of Yotha's Trauma. Finally Healed n the Magic Pill is Gun! :)
**
FaifaWine - most beautiful, more stable relationship, more clarity, more transparent, Direct communication, Right to the Point, Without any Drama!
(I like such direct n clear, in any relation, lovers, friends etc :) )

Together, Shared their Trauma, Fears n Pain with Open Communication.
Together, Searched for Solutions to their Individual Traumas.
Together, Solved their Troubles with Mutual Support.
Together, Grew Strong n came out of their individual fears n traumas! :)
(All this, they did before dating 🤭, imagine how sweet their dating era would be! :) )
**
KlaoWarit have lil disturbances of Trust, Aggressive break outs of Klao initially but settled down later. They are Lovely! :)

In BL "Enchante" (2+ years ago) --Aou, Boom (n Force, Gawin) being Love Rivals for Book. Here, paired up n engaged as KlaoWarit, so they are Rivals turned Lovers now, haha (just joking)

**** ANOTHER REASON WHY I LIKED THIS:
Mom is the root cause of the major trauma of two of her kids.
Yotha chose aggressive destructive mode n Faifa chose to spread love but faking happiness with stress piling up inside.

Mom's Weird Logic cleared one kid's but traumatized another :/
It took 16 eps for YothaFaifa to clear this chaos, haha

Dad looks cool, didn't add extra trauma🤭 No Complaints on him by the kids, haha

Newton's POV is not shown but am sure, he too, will have his own share of trauma. Imagine if his, is explored.

If every such minor story/minute detail is expanded, this would be extended to 30+ eps like CD or KDrama (Not a fan of lengthy dramas)
For the first time, liked Director New for Crisp Story with good Pacing, without Repetitions n wrapping up in 8eps per couple, haha.

**** WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
1) As said above, ArcArm Story looked exactly like a SPIN OFF of their previous BL. Even the characterisation is SAME -- Force being Cold, Grumpy while Book being Silly.
Should have changed their plot/characterisation here or the actors.

Now ONLY THE VIEWERS WHO DIDN'T WATCH THAT DRAMA, can Enjoy this as a Fresh n Lovely one! :)
For Other Viewers like Me, it's an Irritating Repetition!! :(
Thanks to the comedy here, it saved me, haha.

2) Yotha kisses his ex, keeping Gun Waiting with hope. Logic for that kiss is weird.
What do these writers think, while writing such unnecessary? Haha

3) Actors' makeup is Cakey, Irritating.
My Eyes, my Eyes! (FRIENDS Phoebe's reference ;) )

4) In ep 23, Wine calls senior Tawan a STRICT DOG :o
Looks that entire scene was CUT abruptly.
Wine is not someone who speaks bad or harsh.
Lengthy dramas have time constraints.
But sometimes minor details help for better understanding of the characteristics of a character n so, such are to be depicted.

**** LITTLE MORE RANTING:
FaifaWine though the BEST Main couple, have Less Screentime.

PondSand got less screentime in 24 eps ;(
Marc has almost zero screentime in last 16 eps. Poon being a part of the Comedy Trio got more.

Like Jeeratch n Emi, surprised n loved their pairing from their first appearance in ep 1 :)
Not a full track of their love life but a sneak peek of them ALONE, not with the gangs, would be Good.
SAD! Didn't get a proper status as a Side Couple like PondSand n KlaoWarit ;/
Guess, shouldn't expect any decent screentime for a hetero couple in a BL :(

Hope to see these guys in "more mature" roles, other than Student roles to avoid being TYPECAST for only Engineering BLs (Few actors have Diverse roles)

****
The CLIMAX is SMOOTH and NEAT.
Drama Started with Wine introducing the P10L Group n their grp meet and ended with the same grp meet. Beautiful! :)

The P10L Group Exclusive video chat pic -Jet, Arc, Yeepun, Arm, Yotha n Wine with Gun n Faifa is wholesome!✨
**
Usually, some Thai BLs end with A TRIP TO THE BEACH. For a change, a Botanical Garden here, haha

The "Behind the Scenes" in the credits are Lovely!
**
OST: All tracks are Amazing.
3 songs for 3 Main Couples n One Group song by all 6 MLs.
Junior's singing voice is sweet :)
**
My RATING is 8.5 /10
(Would be 9+, if ArcArm story is interesting)
**
(Max No. of My comments(40) are in this drama page🤭
I appreciate ur effort, reading my 11K+ characters Review, haha)

MEDIOCRE HIGH SCHOOL HORROR ANTHOLOGY! Screaming for no reason, haha

CONTENT WARNING:
BE AWARE that all stories have content of Severe School Bullying, Social Media Bullying and Gore.

As the title suggests, all are high school tales, rumoured haunted ghost stories in schools (which are addressed to teenagers, not for adults).

These high school Haunting stories are like rumoured ghost stories that we enjoyed gossiping about, in secret whispers with friends in school days and getting scared for no reason 😂
Same Vibe, screaming for no reason! Haha.

These are Not Serious, NOT SCARY, MEDIOCRE in nature of HORROR, just for passing the time .

This Anthology of 8 stories cover a mix of teenage love + horror + comedy + mystery .

All the three directors worked on good horrors previously , Watched few of their works previously n liked some .

Good to see all known actors.

**** EPISODES:
1: 7 AM
Actors: Kay, Weng, Pepo

OK to watch
Pacing is lil slow at times.

Kay and Pepo can pass as TWINS :)
Surprisingly, Kay got bullied in this. Usually, he is the evil one or bullying one in other dramas 😂

The story: A textbook name is written on the black board daily at 7 am n if anyone in the class misses to bring that book, is killed by the ghost and one's existence is forgotten later completely.

Climax is Good.

The NO part:
Lot of bullying n selfish friendships in this story.

****
2: VENGEFUL SPELL
Actor: Mark Siwat

INTERESTING one to watch .
Pacing is Good .

Mark is handsome as usual .
He has some charm, some spark that attracts / draws attention .

The story: One has to write the name of the person whom one wishes to die, under one's foot.

A mix of teenage love + horror.
Looks like Love triangles.

Climax is Good .
The twists are Good.
Everything, every wish comes with a heavy price to pay! :/

The NO part:
Lot of Gore.
There is one unacceptable intimate scene between teenagers (though shown as such, with cam angles n though only the characters are teenagers n not the actors) .

****
3: BEAUTIFUL
Actress Emi :)

She is beautiful as usual .

This story deals with the negatives of beauty consciousness, its struggles n competitions in today's world.
This is Sad Reality 😰

The sad part here is how two gals spoilt their lives with that beauty consciousness, going to any extent to become pretty n the issues of jealousy.

Lot of horror effects to show scary haunting scenes.
Pacing is lil slow at times.

Climax is Good .

The NO part:
Lot of Gore

****
4: THE BOOK OF CORPSES

OK to watch.

Two stories of school bullying, one 20 years ago and a present one, involving a ghost book.

Twist about the person who writes in that book, is unexpected n Good .

Lot of horror effects to show scary haunting scenes.
Pacing is Good

Climax is Good .
Everything, every wish comes with a heavy price to pay! :/

The NO part:
Severe disturbing school bullying, to the extent that it is irritating .
Lot of Gore
One r*pe scene

****
5: HEADLESS TEACHER

Very Hilarious one! 😂
(The usual Thai comedies :)
If U are aware of Thai Horror comedies, only then can enjoy this.
Every country has its OWN TONE OF COMEDY, especially Japan or Thai comedies are not for everyone )

This episode is directed by Director Mike, known for horror comedies previously like "Pee Nak" franchise and comedy BL drama "Siew Sum Noi"

This is a good mix of Horror + Comedy + Death Mystery + Suspense

This is second best in this anthology bcz of the comedy element.
All the other stories (episodes) are serious horrors but this one is exclusively a Horror COMEDY.

Loved the comedy, death mystery and suspense parts in this.
The death mystery is about who killed the teacher n where her head is and solving that, is funny n interesting
The suspense is well maintained till the end.
Pacing is Good.

The kids (two main leads) acted very well in comedy roles.
They acted so well like adult / senior comedians.
The headless teacher is hilarious 😂

The NO part:
There are some unacceptable elements n scenes here, like Pedophilia n a shower scene between the two male teenager leads (about to kiss but stopped) 😰

****
6: LUNCH

INTERESTING to watch .
At times, little dragging n boring (in middle of the story)

This story is about a food vlogger (social media content creator) trying to expose the truths about a food stall in his school.

At times, he is irritating for being very stubborn, though he is proven wrong.

Climax is VERY GOOD, unexpected twists.

The NO part:
Lot of Gore
This story deals about social media bullying in modern times, spreading hate comments online without proofs n logics

****
7: CURSE
Actors: Mild, Fiat

Fiat being bullied here :/
Our funny Mild, OmG, can't see him as a bully here😰

This is VERY INTERESTING to watch .
The Story is about a ghost nurse fulfilling a wish by anyone sitting in a wheelchair n wishing, in an abandoned wing in the school

Climax is VERY GOOD .
The twist related to the person wishing, is unexpected n sad :(
Everything, every wish comes with a heavy price to pay! :(

The NO part:
Severe disturbing school bullying, to the extent that it is irritating .
Lot of Gore

****
8: WALK IN SCHOOL
Actors: Chimon :) , Saint

Saint n Chimon are Cool .
Pacing is lil slow at times but this the BEST in this anthology!
VERY INTERESTING to watch .

This episode itself has 3 ghost stories + 1 main story of Saint n Chimon

Traditional dancers ghost story (good)
Gymnast ghost story (good)
School friends on rooftop ghost story (good, this is related to Saint)

Finally as expected, the TWIST in the end, related to Chimon, is VERY GOOD .
Climax is VERY GOOD .

Lot of horror effects to show scary haunting scenes.

****
My RATING for this anthology series is 7.5 / 10

Liked the stories in the order:
8 > 5 > 2 = 7 > 3 = 6 > 4 = 1

Overall, One time watch!

Yeah, Mr PARK IS HANDSOME, Men like him in All Girls School Horrors will meet such an Ending, haha

This Movie is so DIFFERENT from the other movies in this Franchise, in terms of Direction and Story
(Ghosts exist in all those
but here, is it one ghost or two ghosts or does ghost exist really?
haha just Watch, to know)

U can clearly see Modern day Direction n Production (that quality maintained) here, compared to old movies.

Also all movies are about high school girls whereas here FL is the vice principal, who studied in that school n is being haunted by her school friend

Got MIXED FEELINGS n IMPRESSIONS on this Movie. Anyways, INTERESTING to watch.

***** STORY:
Doubted this as more of Psychopathic Serial killings than Ghost killings from the beginning itself, seeing Eun Hee's facial expressions throughout .
(maybe I watched too many Horrors n Thrillers with twists )
In the end, the true TWIST is revealed.

The TWIST related to the Old Lame Watchman is VERY GOOD (I doubted this all the time bcz of his interactions with others )

These little details will make U REWATCH this.

***
Intially, there are multiple mystery tracks going on with Eun Hee n Ha Young and they are shown in a parallel fashion.
Then it looked like existence of Multiple Ghosts.
This suspense and mystery is well maintained throughout the movie .

But by the time, a mystery is about to clear, the scene is cut abruptly n another mystery starts. So there is some confusion created with the editing.
The screenplay is Good but editing is bad.

***
Ha young is shown as a troublesome teenager who is impossible to handle, as arrogant n bratty - Very irritated to watch her
But as the story progresses, her true story is unfolded.
Poor Ha Young! :(

As an international viewer, Initially confused with the soldiers attacking students n civilians.
Later came to know with some research that it is about 1980's Gwangju Uprising in Korea :(

***
Surprisingly, MEN played important roles in this story, unlike the other movies in this franchise 🤭

As the gals said, Mr. Park is very handsome ;) but whatever Eun Hee did with him, is the Right Thing!
He deserved it!
Well Done, Eun Hee!

Eun Hee actress, she acted in the 4th movie, Voice as music teacher.
Her acting here is Very Good, especially in the scenes where she saves Ha young from Mr Park

***
STORY is WELL WRITTEN.
A Mix of psychopathic person with psychological problems with a touch of haunting of ghosts.
(So Rating for the story itself should be high)

ACTING by everyone is GOOD

*****
PACING is RIGHT n GOOD.
No moment of boredom throughout the movie n no boring content fillers .

Screenplay, Story Narration are GOOD
But the EDITING is like sudden cuts in the scenes, at times - IRRITATING!
n so my rating is just 8, instead of 8+

The Horror Effects, the Haunting Scenes (Jump Scares or the gal Screams😂) are GOOD

I expected the Humming sound (as the title suggests) to be played as BGM throughout the movie for more horror effect but No, I found it only in one scene, so a bit disappointed.

My ONLY COMPLAINT here is:
First they took a lot of time to establish the story but rushed in the end, leaving some points unclear .

***** JUST SOME THOUGHTS:
Why do all of them roam in School, especially in the abandoned haunted wing during Nights ! :o 😂

Also, What's with the "Red Lipsticks" for school students during school hours :o

***** HEAVY SPOILERS:
THE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS:

Overall, LIKED THIS
but there are few unclear points left unanswered by the end of the movie:

The headless body is of the person in window incident or of the soldier.
If it is soldier's, when did Eun Hee kill him?
Back then, it was shown as she had hurt him with his nametag but not killing him or is it implied?

Also, the TWIST in the end, I took as Eun Hee's friend character doesn't exist at all, her character is just Eun Hee's hallucinations bcz in the final actual scenes, Eun Hee is seen alone in the guitar n pots scenes n not with her friend as shown in her memories of same scenes previously.
but then this arises another question "so Eun Hee's trauma n psychological problems didn't arise from the soldier's incident?", "So Eun Hee is seeing an imaginary friend even before the soldier incident? "

*****
My Rating is 8 / 10
Less rating only bcz of lil bad editing as said above.
Else would be higher and this would be the BEST in the Franchise n also would be included as one of the Good Horrors, overall.

Also, Would have rated this movie, More as 8+ if the unanswered questions had been clarified n given a proper closure to the viewers.

Now left with some sort of negative impressions, not to love this movie more :/

In this Franchise, Liked the 4th movie n this one Equally.
Story-wise, both are equally good and liked.

*****
Check out my Reviews for other movies in this Franchise :)

Liked Movies in the Franchise, in the order:
6 = 4 > 5 = 1 > 3 > 2

My Rating for 6 movies in this Franchise, out of 10:
6.5, 5.5, 6, 8, 7.5, 8

Last three movies are very good with twists.
First three movies are mediocre.
But all 6 movies covered a wide variety of horror tropes.

PROMISE (BLOOD PLEDGE) IS BROKEN n SO R U READY FOR SOME HAUNTING ? Haha

Finally a Movie in this Franchise, where the Ghost's Death is due to Friendship. whereas in the other movies, Love is the reason behind the deaths!🤷🏻‍♀️

Movie Run Time is less, compared to other movies in this franchise n so PACING is RIGHT and GOOD here, without any content fillers, else would have been boring just like the first 3 movies .

Not a Psychological Horror, it's the Usual Horror Trope but with a lot of JUMP SCARES, horror lovers will love those .
n a lot of Girl LOUD SCREAMS 😂

****
Cinematography is different, the team had tried different lighting for different scenes, which is Good .

But the Haunting Ghost scenes are completely black, almost invisible. Maybe they wanted to create a horror effect with the ghost in complete darkness n then give a jump scare to the viewer, unfortunately almost nothing is visible in those scenes.
I came to know that there is a ghost in such scenes, only when I hear a girl screaming loudly 😂
(On top of this, the print that I watched is of poor quality )

****
Direction is Good.
Linear Narration, so there is no confusion in the story or in the Editing (unlike the first 3 movies, where u'll go crazy confused or irritated with the Narration n editing )

**** STORY:
Plot is Good n Interesting .

4 High School Girls took a Blood Pledge to die one night but only one dies n so the Ghost takes Revenge on the other two n haunts the third one, who is her bestie.

First 1 hour of the movie, it's all about the Blame Game - blaming each other for the death of the gal.

The next 30 mins is when the true events that happened, unfold and the other gals' reasons for the pledge and their stories are shown.

This transition from the Blame Game to unfolding the actual reasons for the death of the gal n the other gals' stories, is VERY SMOOTH.
Well Written .

Ghost to the three Girls: Our Promise (Blood pledge) is Broken n so be ready to my Haunting! 🤭

Lesson learnt:
If U can't Fulfill Something, Don't PROMISE Anything!
And if U Promise Something, Don't Break it at any cost !!

**** JUST SOME THOUGHTS:
1) Ghost killings in a religious place / Church, huh ? 🤔
It's a Catholic School setting here.
And one gal is killed by the ghost in church, in the end.
How can a ghost enter a religious place? (like shown in other horror movies, in general)

2) Out of 4 girls who made the blood pledge in the beginning, 3 had very strong personal reasons to commit suicide but the gal (main lead) who turned into a ghost, doesn't have any strong motive or reason 🤷🏻‍♀️

So in the end, her death (ghost's) has no meaning, no strong reason, apart from doing so for a friend!? :o :/
Just like that!? :o

I say, She maybe a True n a Great Friend but still, a Move Without Any Thought! :(
Or Should we rule this thought out as a Silly teenagers' mindset ?

She should have convinced her friend not to think of suicide, instead of she sacrificing herself for friend without any strong reason other than doing so for friendship n just to be with her close buddy even in death

Again here we are dealing with teenagers' story, shouldn't expect much from the plot and the writers, I guess .

But for another gal character (who is bothered about ranks and master key of school), she is ready to fake her death, manipulate another friend into suicide and murder another friend, even though being a teenager 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyways, a GOOD HORROR WATCH !

****
My Rating is 7.5 / 10

In this Franchise, Liked the First movie (my rating is 6.5) n this one Equally.

But gave an extra 1 rating here, just bcz of the Right Pacing here
n 1 rating less there, for wasted time n content filler there.

Story-wise, both are equally good and liked.
