Truth Dares

Just because he was not behaving like a frightened uke during the sex?

But everyone seems to be morally so superior and knows so well what a seriously ill, damaged and depressed, financially and family-wise disadvantaged, severely bullied young high school student under literate threat of being killed by a gang and/or imprisoned should do.

Jin was about to tell Fluke it was not him who did it, but then he was interrupted by Fluke.

Btw it is becoming increasingly likely to me that probably it is the teacher who died and not Non. Non is probably the masked killer, though some supernatural stuff must be still involved, since the masked person appears and disappears like a ghost (or maybe the director just wants us to think this is the case) and Top was sort of hypnotized/obsessed by some spirit to kill Por.

Non'satanic laugh in the preview is a clear indicator he goes mad or something like that.

Here we are again. Whenever cheating happens people lose their shit on MDL and they do not even start to consider what poor Non had to go through until he made this decision or more precisely he has given in. FFs every single day is a hell in his life and only sacrificed himself because he did not want Phee, the person he loves, being involved in this shady business.

It is possible they have reconciled afterwards.

He did not want to send it. If he did not drop the soda accidentally, it probably would not have happened. I am not defending him, it was still very cruel thing to do, but he was a heartbroken kid in love with Non and he felt disappointed and shocked. I am sure he regretted it instantly. He made a fatal mistake out of impulse, but he is still not a bad person.

That is quite common on MDL. That is why I comment here so rarely, because I have already been sick of this.

There are shows where the comments are overwhelmingly positive and others where vastly negative and if you try to go against the peer pressure either way and refuse to jump on the bandwagon they gang up on you. Lethargic.

They really did and if anyone needs to mature here that is you. On the first step you can try debating like an adult and react to concrete points which were made. That is what I have been doing from the beginning while all you do is dealing with me in person. Btw op expressed obtuseness for those who called this drama overrated. I was one of them, so it is clearly aimed at me too, if not exclusively. It is not rocket science, so maybe try to process it before lecturing others. If you need names to recognize that something is addressed to you (among others) it does not make you really fit for a discussion board to put it mildly. Furthermore I don't even need to be personally involved or addressed on a discussion board to argue with someone, that is quite a basic rule on places like this. And I make arguments over whatever I like, that is c'est la vie for you.

OP obviously seemed butthurt and upset, and on the top of that used strawman arguments, putting things into our mouths what we did not say, yet they did not react to concrete points we made. Everyone who told they think it is overrated expressed why they think it is quite eloquently and with concrete examples, yet they act dense as if they didn't.

Maybe because I have made valid points and instead of sensible counter-arguments all I get is butthurt sulking from peeps who cannot bear their beloved show receiving sensitive yet light criticism.

Very mature reaction. On par with your original comment. Congrats.

Maybe because we honestly think it is overrated. Or do we need your permission to express our opinions? Are you the one here to whom we need to submit opinions and expressions for approval?

What about you and your fellow diddums' accept that there are other opinions and valid criticism towards this drama and while being well-done and enjoyable, maybe just maybe it is not the best thing since the sliced bread was invented.

Or for a change, since I happened to make rather concrete points about what flaws I have found in it, you can try counter-argue them if you can rather than throwing your toys out of your pram for others daring to make the lese-majesty expressing mild criticism about a show you adore. Jesus wept, what a kindergarten.

Btw it is quite useful to be able to read with comprehension skills, so before making a reaction like "not to your taste or you don't like" to comments who clearly expressed THEY LIKED IT AS WELL, it might worth working a bit on your functional illiteracy.

It was a refreshingly original and thought-provoking series with a good plot, fantastic performances and skilled cinematography.

The hype it receives however is quite over-inflated imho and calling it the best BL of 2024 is a massive exaggeration. It has some flaws. The characterizations are way too rushed (even if the actors really do their best to seize and convey their characters during their short screentime ) and there are quite a few loose ends and abandoned subplots. This show would definitely have benefited from either more episodes or longer ones.

I thoroughly enjoyed it but it is rather overrated.

What is interminable and boring is the constantly recurring yammering over his style and him being influenced by his theatrical background. Both 180 Longitude Passes Through Us and 7 Days Before Valentine are beautifully filmed and full of striking cinematic resources, gorgeous shots, splendid visuals, symbols and fully cinematic images.

The world cinema is full of movies influenced by the theatre where the dialogue is dominant like this. Twelve Angry Men or Network from Sidney Lumet, Marty from Delbert Mann, All About Eve from Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Judgement at Nuremberg, Ship of Fools or Guess Who's Coming to Dinner from Stanley Kramer, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf from Mike Nichols, Lion in Winter from Anthony Harvey or Occupe-toi d'Amélie from Claude Autant-Lara are all heavily dialogue-driven movies (jut a handful of examples, and only 2 of those above are based on stage plays) and they are all cinematic masterpieces at the the same time.

Your rigid insistence that cinema and theatre are a irreconcilably different and there must be a confine grinded by an axe is baseless (cinema itself is an anti-thesis of that) and it is nothing but your personal hangup. It certainly does not make his cinematic efficiency any less real, rewarding or legitimate. That is his directorial choice. If it is not your cup of tea, then be it.

Those who have seen enough Thai shows about soul reapers must be familiar with the fact that the best they can hope for is their soul being reborn to a new life, since they have already died, and we know Q has committed suicide, probably long ago. This story takes some liberty with the usual Buddhist rules and also embraces some Christian spirit in the wake of Faust, but it is better to brace yourselves for a non-conventional ending and not a traditionally happy one.

This was the first justified moment (both emotionally and dramaturgically) for it, and thank god they did not make it sooner just to feed fangirls.

Those who have dismissed, abandoned and trashed this series for its lack of BL romance, kisses, skinship and the usual fangirl tropes are truly missing out on a heart-wrenchingly beautiful, touching, deeply moving, thought-provoking and arrestingly acted emotional journey. Their loss. And a big one.

I am nearly 100% sure it is heading towards a bittersweet ending, and I do not mind it.

It does not change what I said. Day knows it is Night whom Dream loves.

You make loads of wild and baseless assumptions. In the trailer the faces are not clearly shown, one's face is blurry while the other one doing BJ is covered by the bars on the window. But even if they were and they knew each other before Phee and Non got together, it means nothing. Their life did not start when Phee and Non met, Phee and Jin could have been FWB before Phee met Non, or even afterwards since FWB means no strings attached. It is not even 100% that Non was calling Phee and it was Phee who did not pick it up (though likely), but the reason behind him being not available must have been Jin is also rather too savage and based on an already not very feasible assumption as well.
