I don’t even pretend this is a series of substance. I find it mildly entertaining which is fine.

Where the heck do you watch this?

I’m glad i’m not the only one who shamelessly loves this

Every episode I say to myself, “what the hell is this series about?” but then I find myself getting sucked into it like some telenovela, love me! don’t love me! jealous glances, arm tugging and then as the Koreans say RED SUN and I completely forget what I watched.

I love that you referenced Unforgotten Night my all time favourite campy series. It’s so true this is giving off those vibes.

Those hand cloths got a work out this episode.

When Pat gets all shifty eyed you know he’s about to pull a fast one on Elyes.

LOL Luke… taken right out of the DSM-5. I keep yelling at Pat “run from this self obsessed narcissist!” But you know that’s not going to pan out.

Same difference. ok I kid. It’s very common in Thailand for men to be ordained as Buddhist monks as a way to make merit for their family.

You say this like it a bad thing?

I will miss Taichi’s booming voice. KOHEI! I love how Taichi rolled into Kohei’s life, brought him out of isolation, made him laugh and fall in love. What a beautiful series.

Is the uncut version substantially different from the cut version?

This show reminds me of Unforgotten Night in its campy-ness. I can’t take it seriously. It’s early days so I will have to see how it goes. So far I like it. It’s just the right amount of trash. The soundtrack is hella annoying though. Is it me or is it about 25 per cent louder than the dialogue?. It would be fine if it were good but it’s 80s synth. it in a good Depeche Mode, New Order kinda way.

It was a bad sign that I fast forwarded a part of the first episode. I’m hoping it gets better and is less predictable. Leng is quite nice to look at in the meantime.

You said it first. And kudos on the pun.

LOL 😂

yes, but there will be something else I am sure

This series was a hot mess but the last episode and the chair NC scene was the only time I didn’t watch on 2.5 speed. It was masterfully executed. Granted I had to ignore Bank’s hideous outfit but the rest was awesome. 👏

So true. There is an old English saying “in for a penny, in for a pound” which aptly describes my commitment to finishing a series even if it’s pretty horrible like this one. Occasionally there is a scene where I say to myself “ that’s not so bad” which justifies watching it.

Many thanks!
