One thing I've loving about this season is how you start off expecting Dean to be this super toxic person, and then the more it goes on, the more you end up feeling bad for him instead. It's a nice flip on the presentation.

Oh perfect, that's exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you!

Is it a sad ending? I won't not watch even if it is, but I'd like to know going in so I can maybe plan a good time to actually watch this one. I already expect to cry from all the comments I've seen.

It's a "happy" ending in the sense they end up together. It's just that by the time we get there, a part of you doesn't really want them to be. I would definitely watch it if you enjoyed Not Me, since it brings that edgier vibe and explores more current issues/debates in that same style.

You posted this a while ago, but just to answer, what that other person suggested is true. This version came out first. Out of all of the stories, YinWar were the most popular ship. That eventually led to them getting offered a full length "remake" of the story, which also tried stripping away more of the toxic original plotline. In the book it's even more toxic between them at the start of their relationship than in this shorter version, and they tried to do away with "it" in the full length with the whole Mark mistaking Vee throughout their first encounter.

Here's the thing, second to last episode of most thriller/horrors have the characters making dumb choices. It's necessary to get all moving pieces in the same room for the grand finale, I get that. But everything that happened in this episode could have still taken place without every single one of them being this stupid. Darin could have called out and tried to stay home. Evil ghost could have gotten him anyway. Thup and Singa could have been separated while searching for Bom instead. Leaving Thup in a locked car doesn't even make sense? By this point in the story, they'd all experienced the evil spirit and what she's capable of. She can unlock a damn door. They've also seen Thup possessed enough times to question whether or not he'd be convinced to leave. Sure, neither of those things happened, but there were so many obvious holes in the "you'll be safe here" I couldn't suspend my disbelief anymore.

I love this show, but man. What a frustrating episode.

To add to this, because it bothered me so much during this episode: Darin could have called out of work and stayed home. He wasn't needed. Be exra safe and stay there! And then leaving Thup in a locked car, as though they haven't all now singlehandedly experienced the evil ghost opening doors and moving shit....come on.

Yeah, like I GUESS I can still see them not involving King's dad for fear he wouldn't do anything, but...his son was kidnapped this time. MAYBE they could have gotten some backup. I was able to look past that, but bringing the person they think might be the target, and letting the other go off alone is just stupid. At this point, every single one of them has experienced the evil spirit and know things don't go logically. They were dumb all around.

Where did you read the novel?

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I really wish we had less Sey and Darin. I love the actors, and I hope they get to lead their own show, The characters are also fine, but this story is already so meaty. There's so much to explore and answer, and it just feels like we've spent way too much screen time on them. It feels like filler, and there are a ton of other character dynamics and plot points we could be exploring instead. There's so much going on, but instead of getting to any of it, we keep circling around and filling almost half of every episode with SeyDarin.

I loved this show right up until the last episode. There were some details I could pretend I didn’t notice (like how could she not check his house? Wasn’t looking that hard) but the final episode just felt like rehashed cliches and filler flashbacks. I expected a stronger ending. Still recommend watching because the acting all around is really well done and I loved the story otherwise.

It seems like Netflix likes to split 16 into 8, which is so annoying. Hopefully we’ll get a completed series if it is only 8, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they announce a season two after the first 8.

I loved Genie, Make a Wish! But I'm pretty sure her character is actually a psychopath. Psychopaths and sociopaths aren't the same. The first are typically categorized as unable to feel empathy, while the latter may be capable of feeling some. It's so interesting to see all of these characters crop up this year. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like in the past, we've typically gotten male psychopath/sociopath characters, with the occasional exception, of course. I've been enjoying seeing it more through a different lens this year!

I haven't watched that one yet, but it's on my list! I might come back to chat about my thoughts on it once I do 👍🏻🤣

It's believed that sociopathy is usually caused from both genetics and environment. I think the show does a good job of showing us how messed up her father is, and how he consistently refers to her as property. I know this is used by awful people who aren't sociopaths, but it feels like the writers chose this angle/these terms to sort of explain which parent she may have inherited the genes from. Then you've got a kid who in episode one comments that her dad doesn't really do anything to stop the abuse, is abused all the time, and watches her mom be murdered. It feels like a good blend of both. Without all of that abuse/without having witnessed it and seen how her father uses and discards people, though, even with genetics, I don't believe she would have become a sociopath. It's my understanding that while genetics can make a person more likely to lean that way, trauma is still needed. So if she hadn't been raised in that environment, no, she wouldn't have become one.

Thank you! I couldn't find this info anywhere and was wondering why it was showing for other people.

Are you watching in the States? I can't seem to find it. The show is there, but there aren't any episodes on Disney.

I can't seem to find this available on Disney Plus. Where is everyone watching it?

I thought she did a good job in Snowdrop. Even if someone doesn't like her acting, there's no point in slinging hate over five minutes of screen time. It's not making her look bad, it's just drawing more attention to the project.

I think it's more when the character is said to be really good or a native speaker of said language, and then it ends up being bad enough I struggle to understand it, that's when I cringe. 😅 It's less about an accent than mispronunciation, but again, only when the character is supposedly great at the language. Like, for example, because they mentioned Peace is still learning, it never bothers me when he speaks Thai.
