Yes! The movie is great! They had actual help from the original author to make sure it stays as true as possible. It was chilling watching everything unfold, and it can always happen again, that's what made it the most scaring to me

Ouh I really wonder if they were inspired by 'the wave', specifically while making this episode.
For those unaware: It's a book that was later turned into a movie that records a real social experiment that happened.
A teacher wants to prove to his students how easy it can be to implement structures like the nazi-regime. No matter when or where, it's always possible. They didn't believe him so they started an experiment, a movement 'the wave' in which they all were in with the teacher as the ruler. They implemented specific rules, clothing etc. for a certain period of time. And as you can imagine... It spread into other classes and they themselves slowly got more radical towards students who didn't follow 'the rules'.

Seeing Namo just watching them gave me goosebumps. The way he was talking, obviously feeling morally superior reminds me too much of the book, well done

This could have been the good fanfic coffee shop au I could rewatch over and over. The premise might not be the biggest but you can do SO MUCH with it. That's so sad!

Why would they... Decide to get the main couple together in the first episode? I was baffled.
Like yeah 'he doesn't want to be in a relationship' or whatever but they're already acting as if they've dating for years which sucks all possible interesting tension out. I honestly don't understand, that makes everything so damn boring

Wow telling me to go back to my country and stay there? Love that for me, thank you so much.
That was the most xenophobic and blatant racist answer I've had in a while. It's always nice to find out how some people really tick, all you have to do is say something that doesn't agree with their opinion.

Bringing ww2 into a gay drama discussion? Sickass move, your 5th class history teacher must be so proud of you for remembering what a blitzkrieg is! So happy for your memory. That's such a big word wow.


Btw lit nickname, I really hope you're a gay man or by using your logic that makes you homophobic, so... Wish your twisted worldview all the best.
Please stay in school

You believe YOUTUBE COMMENTS?! No offence but Youtube comments gobble anything up. They could be the most toxic, cheating couple in the universe as long the actors are "hot" Youtube comments love them.
And just because something is negative doesn't make it 'insincere' but judging from the way you wrote your three paragraphs it will impossible to have a nuanced conversation with you.

Go ahead and love every plot just because there are gay characters, good for you.

Slow is an understatement. This is... Something else

Also I don't know what the editors were thinking but adding soundeffects to every movement of an actor does NOT equal funny. Sorry to disappoint

I thought it's finally over with its five episodes and now I learned its even more- oh come on. The story hasn't picked up in the slightest I wonder what they're planning for the last two episodes. Either everything is happening at once or still nothing

Very interesting. I immediately thought of the structure of the roman empire.
Especially the principle using "the curse" as a fear mongering method.

Principle = The emperor
Students = Roman people
Akk + Prefects = Roman legion

The overraction from the principle after the small win from TWR reminded me SO MUCH of what rome used to do to all the tribes who 'betrayed' them aka not paying at the exact day or someone simply being rude. They would slaughter the whole tribe with immense violence.

The World Remembers = Barbarians (as the romans called them) who did everything in their power to not get overrun by rome.
Ayan = Spartakus, who was a slave but was able to escape, freed other slaves and for the first time got dangerous to the emperor and his power because he attacked not from the outside like their enemies, but from the inside. And his small army grew in numbers exponentially.
Thua = The silent "barbarians" who thought they could do business with rome and all got extinguished

I also want to mention Wat who reminds me of Arminius. He was the highest ranking legionary in rome, but a born Cherusker, a barbarian. He grew up in Rome (for reasons that'll take too many lines) but one day came back to his old village. He had a change of heart and decided to free the land rome had invaded, germania. Also from the inside because he knew all of the romans fighting techniques, like Wat knows secrets as a prefect.
I think Wat could be a great Arminius.

This got a bit out of hand, but I had to share because it has been spooking around in my brain for a while. I absolutely love revolutions.

Your interpretation of them as societal branches/aspects are very accurate. I would maybe change the curse from something like religion to more of a power tactic to silence and isolate disagreers.
But... Well... Religion does that pretty well too. Plus the curse never actually has to do much, the scared people will try to silence everyone themselves which is nice

You're right, could be! Just the literal imagine of 20 something year olds talking about a supernatural curse as if it's a creature that could step through the door at any time.... Took me out. And they're aspiring to be like engineers and other serious jobs that require physics and biology and math.
It felt bizarre

The rest? Amazing, I love it. The chemistry is impeccable.
Seeing Khao put First into that hoodie immediately reminded me of Not Me. I had a literal flashback ^^

The only thing that feels weird about this amazing drama is how serious the students take this 'curse'.
Like... Curses cannot pick locks or destroy things. And no one seems to even consider that the curse is something non supernatural? It feels off, especially because they're supposed to be a high private school with amazing curriculum

It's like a Hallmark movie just with more sound effects. Minute long conversations in one room, nothing ever really happens and everyone overreacts to everything. But it's a soft no brainer, you can just watch and relax with

I'll so miss going to the comments every week, it was a ritual at this point. For this alone this drama will be unforgotten by me

He was on a variety show and the female host kept pushing the sleeves of his shirt up, sniffed his armpist after lifting his arm up, grabbed his hair and shook his head around as a "joke". Yoon was visibly uncomfortable, and it took an outrage from his fans for his management to do something. They released a statement on instagram and said Yoon is taking "a mental health break". Whatever that means.
What happened it not okay, that's straight up harassment. But he is a 'young fun man' and because of Thailands elder culture and pressure from all around it must have been impossible for him to do anything against it.

This was a memorable drama for me for sure. I don't remember a drama where I've immediately after each episode went to the comment section on here, except for a few. And just for that I will remember this for a long time. The conversations, debates, fights and jokes exchanges I had here were unforgettable as well.
So my chest does feel heavy now that it's all over.

For me personally UN is a picture book example of wasted potential based on chaotic production and editing. It still saddens me how good the premise and storyline was and how terrible the execution. They had the funding, just the right people were missing.
If the main actors did a workshop on ds dynamics their chemistry could have expanded loads.
Danil saved the last episodes for me. I love him, how beautiful the actor is and how unhinged his character was, I wish he had been there sooner instead of Cherry.

The ending... MORE DEATH. I WANTED MORE DEATH! But nonetheless at least Danai got relevant again, that was nice.

So thank you all for being on this journey with me. It was a lot ^^



Sidenote: I hope Yoon changes his agency to one that protects and fights for his mental and physical well being. The statement was absolutely ridiculous, it said nothing and did nothing. I also hope Yoon gets counselling or has really good friends he can talk to, because realising you got harassed can take time. It was unbelievable, inappropriate and harassment.

Just one good show IT CAN'T BE IMPOSSIBLE

They should have really, REALLY cut out the 'lgbt people are normal people' plot tho.
It felt like the week before pride month when all businesses suddenly write 'yas queen' in every insta and tiktok post. It feels highly dishonest and fake.

Of course... Maybe that's the point? I just hope it gets made clearer in the following episodes

Watching this felt like sitting in an actual business meeting in real time for 20 minutes each episode. I can't imagine anything less exciting, why wouldn't they... Punch it up a little bit?
Show how business transactions work, how charming and convincing you sometimes need to be. And how exciting it can be when you're really passionate about your job. Wasted potential unfortunately
