Feel so short and a lot of undeveloped storylines. I wished they have developed more on his police academy buddy.

Jeez. I don't understand why Netflix have it as R21. I think this labelling is quite misleading. The whole movie is quite vanilla, no extreme nudity, no sex and no extreme violence. Was it because there was a theme of suicide, that made it to R21?

oh okay that makes sense now. I didn't consider that. thanks!

So confused, the two main characters have a huge age gap? Gu Tian Yu was like an adult while he was writing letter with a kid, but then when they met they appear to be same age?

It was great until the end bit part was so rushed that they didn't really develop it to something good.

Episode 15.

I lol at the hotel name. They took out G and H from "Grand Hyatt", in the episode, it's now "Rand Yatt" HAHA

I REALLY REALLY HATE this kind of selfish attitude of Iris.

(1) Dude suffered from mom leaving him. She should have known better not to leave without telling him the reason.

(2) You don't get to say, you left because you don't want him to see you weak or that you want to alleviate his suffering. NOT KNOWING and LETTING HIM WAIT is a much more painful process.

I really hate people leaving others hanging. It's like living in purgatory every day. So just what if, she got her treatment - she comes back. What excuse she is going to make? That's not how partnership works. You do it together.

It is good. It's just not good for someone who is experiencing feeling down or on the verge of depression - because it can be quite triggering.

I'm on episode 4 now and every episode is just tearjerker, and also triggering. It's really hard to binge watch.

It is okay. Nothing remarkable. Felt like the movie relies solely on the tandem, the story is tired, the setup is frustrating, and the characters are quite shallow, IMO. Not carried away with any emotions, tbh. But gotta be honest, David is really handsome. Barbie is Barbie.

OMG. Totally the vibe! The writers are so subtle. But three scenes made me convince:

1. Cheng Hao went in to bring towel for Fei Ke, with him showering. This scene repeated twice.
2. Cheng Hao making Fei Ke switch different attires.
3. The video chat with his parents!

His parents did not give him that name. He was named Li Zerui.

Halfway now. So good. Binge worthy material.

I wish they had made him really a psycho killer, and have some kind of redemption arc. Feels like the whole sister and "real" baek hee sung took that away. As soon as they were introduced, I knew that he is not "evil" or "bad" - and that pretty much made it easier storytelling to tell for the cop-'not really a killer' husband/wife dynamic.

I don't get the hype lol. It's a good thriller, but my expectation was just too high, I guess? The whole premise and scenario felt a bit flat to me because the ending / twist or whatever you call is, I already predicted.

Felt like Darren Wang was used to bait viewers.

Watching this reminded me of On the Line.

The movie is infuriating, in many levels.

Jericho looks like he did not age !

It was way too long. Once you are one third on the film, you pretty much seen everything. Cinematography was great tho, the whole one shot filming was amazing.
