Only segment 3 has matching subs

Actually, it is even more that that. Yoda purposefully triggered Katsuragi's sexual instincts to make him realize he wants to live.

Like I said earlier, if they overturn all this in ep 8. If that’s the case, the ending would necessarily be contrived, highly unconvincing and unsatisfactory. It is already a mess, though. Some came up with the idea this might be one of Ken's plays. That would be a shade better version of overturning than the classic "Bobby Ewing comes back" trick. Pity because the production is smart, characterisations are well-drawn, acting is a feast, Sadly the plot went off rails in the second half.

Karissa Toliongco, the actress playing Sandee tweeted the following "Tama ba mga theories niyo (are your theories correct)? #MyExtraordinaryEP7 OOOPSSS not yet! Wait until #MyExtraordinaryFinale". So she also hinted that something unexpected might happen. This may be a red herring, though.

I pick a third one: you are an arrogant, patronising, passive-aggressive prick who is not only convinced of having the stone of wisdom but feels entitled to tell people how they should feel. Get lost.

Ken is at fault also, he was irresponsible. But it is also Monica’s fault who couldn’t wait till Ken goes home once the weekend is over, and scared the shit out of him with that call in the middle of the night and ordered him to go home.

Up until episode 5 it was indeed very good, the acting and characteristations are still excellent and the production slick. It is only the plot which has become chaotic and confusing, as well as melodramatic, trying way too hard and too manipulatively to make you cry.

Blaming a poor young kid who just passed away prematurely is not a legitimate part of the grief in my eyes. Btw you don't know what I have been through my life, so just back up from your patronisig tone.

I was literally fuming when Kevin kept telling Sandee that it is not her fault. It is bloody well her fault. As well as at horrenodous Monica who chased them into their death and she still blames Shake for what happened instead of taking a good look at the fucking mirror herself. From Ep 6 the creators seem to be more concerned at tricking the audience than paying attention to character development and narrative cohesion.

Yes, it was filmed before tight lockdown. Hence the crowded Manila locations.

Transition the other way around, since this weas filmed before Gameboys.

So there are two cases:
1, The author is a pathological liar who likes playing cat and mouse with his audience. In that case he is sick indeed.
2, He overturns all this in ep 8. If that’s the case, the ending would necessarily be contrived, highly unconvincing and unsatisfactory. It is already a mess, though.

Btw for all its quality, this series has dealt with the issues I have expected from it with much less thoughtfulness than it seemed to promise. It unabashedly tries hard to make you cry. Acting, characterisations and production are still great, but it promised a thoughtful analysis on coming out and prejudice, for instance. It doesn’t deliver that. Irrespectivecof its outcome. The second half is downright melodramatic.

MODC is a different issue because they had an alternative ending originally but the screenwriter woman pushed that tragic one through.

I agree. That is why I am wondering if he lied on purpose.

He explicitly and literally commented “No one dies”.

I still cannot get my head around why the author claimed no one dies if that’t how we end up. Was he deliberately lying? Yet, if they overturn this in the last episode, that would necessarily be very contrived and highly unconvincing.

Well, I have just watched it. I don’t know what to say. The author either lied or the last episode comes up with an unrealistic and weird solution.

Not just Teresa. Many others. And when Sandee tells Kevin, she is gonna visit Ken, he doesn’t seem surprised.

The majority seems to take this at face value while episode 6 was more ambigious than ever, and we still have two more episodes to come.
