It ended Nov 3? I completely forgot about this series ...

What's DAS?

It's honestly so strange watching them playing those characters. Tay being all composed, soft and perfect. I constantly expect him to show us his bright smile or fall over his own feet (we know he is clumsy), and New being so shy, when we all know he is pretty cheeky. I'm constantly waiting for him to kick Tay.
I think Pete and Kao were closer to their real personalities. But I'm in general not a fan of this story. I can't relate to those characters. I wonder if there will even be some kind of character growth, or are we stuck with those personalities until the end?

Nobody does it like TayNew.
Those two were meant to meet each other.

Those two have the most beautiful and crazy friendship you can imagine. I'm a big fan of that pairing off-screen. I can imagine those two being 80 years old and still be friends.

Haha!
I would watch that plot, though.

What I mean with soap opera, and I may be wrong here, when everything is so polished and nice, but lacks depth regarding characters and plot.

Sigh ...
I just can't get into this plot and characters. It's all so fake. They don't feel like real people.
I guess the day will never come when New plays again a sassy character in a BL. I still remember when I watched Kiss Me Again, how I felt in love with Kao: the humor, the attitude, and how they kissed in that pool, how Kao moved towards Pete was hot and exciting. Now I have to deal - again and again - with that clumsy stupid face of New I have already seen a hundred of times before. I'm so tired of those dynamics. Same for Tay. He was so great in 3 will be free. Now they are doing soap opera again like in DBK.
End of rant. The series is overall well-made, but I don't enjoy those kinds of stories. It's really disappointing.

No hate here, I'm a big Tay-New-friendship fan, but sometimes I wonder how Newwie made it this far with those poor acting skills. Was he ever good in anything? I can't recall that I was ever impressed by his acting.

YESSSSSS!
Just give me something new. I feel like I already know how they will act in this, and how the characters will play out just by seeing the trailer.

Are you guys really excited for this? I'm so tired seeing New in those overly cute and clumsy roles, and Tay being the hot confident top guy. I feel like this is a step back, a remake too. No new ideas out there?
I feel like this will bring nothing new to the table.

I'm not feeling this series.

When you want to see butts, go watch Sweet Home s2.
I'm still not over all those naked butts. I thought in Korea they are rather prude?

I have no idea what's the plot of this series. Murder series with fantasy elements?
Anyway, the production is high quality. I was just hoping Tharn and Phaya would hate each other a bit longer, I'm a sucker for some good tension between characters. At the moment, it looks like this is going down the soap opera route. Hopefully not. I appreciate that this is a mature series, and they aren't bitchy or difficult for no good reason, but still ... where is this love story going? I feel like they will become a couple very fast, but then they get separated because of reasons. Typical soap opera plot.

Honestly, I will say it: Song Kang's performance was lackluster. Not sure if the actor was at fault, or the character was just written like that. I had high hopes for him throughout s1, was slightly disappointed even back then, but now in s2, we still don't know much about him.
He also comes across very lifeless. This character has so much potential, but somehow he doesn't live up to it. I guess that's the point, but still some superhero behaviour would be nice once in a while, instead we get a very lethargic character who doesn't really know shit.

Didn't Ji-Su say to the priest, that she chose the thread at birth? Which means she will have a long life? I also vaguely remember she told him later it was a lie. Not sure, though.
However, I expected her to be one of the few survivors. This was very disappointing.

The biggest difference between s1 and s2 is the lack of depth in the character's writing. In s1 I was immediately hooked and wanted to know about Cha Hyun's fate. I liked his relationship with Lee Eon Yoo. Those two moody teenagers were written very well. I loved her bitchy and difficult behaviour especially towards her brother, but then in the last moment she was crying for her "oppa". Devastating. I loved the brother with his cold attitude, who did his best to save lives, made difficult decisions, and cared deepley for his sister to the very last moment. I loved Jung Jae Heon with his sword who bacame my favorite character very fast. I loved his relationship with Ji Su, and his death was one of the most devastating I have witnessed. I loved the guy in the wheelchair, and how he cared for the children together with the woman who later became a monster too. I loved their story and their fate touched me deeply. I loved the gangster and the girl, and yes, again, their fate was beautiful and sad. The way those characters were written, how the plot evolved around them, and how they had been killed reminded my of The Walking Dead when it was still good back in the early days. Those characters in s1 were one of the best written characters I have seen in any TV series to date. In s2 nothing came even close to this brilliant writing style. The story was intriguing overall, yes, and the new characters were fine, the acting again was extremely good, some good ideas were there too, so I don't hate it at all, but it was by no means a masterpiece. It was just a thrilling and entertaining horror/survival series like some others out there.

Kudos to the production team and actors to make this such a thrilling watch. Because, if you really think about it for one second, nothing makes sense.

I like the new characters, but it seems the writers weren't really invested in the old ones anymore. There aren't many scenes with them, or they got killed off. It's like they just wanted to move on without them. I'm only at ep 4, so maybe some will have a comeback.

I so hope they get another series. Incredible chemistry, both actors are beautiful and sexy on their own, very sexy when they are together. Good actors too, especially Louis. Those emotional scenes made me cry.
I was never this obsessed before.
We just need a good script now, and well ... that's hard to find.
