I really enjoyed this, the story is simple and not overly convoluted. I appreciate that it did not the show really focused on showing how the two main character really love each other.
What makes the show more enjoyable is the fact that all side characters and relationship is also enjoyable and watchable. There are some series that I get annoyed with this or that side relationship start to be better than main, this time, it was all right formula, right chemistry, right timing and enough story.
Missed opportunity. I wished they actually had a real trans to play the role. Or could have made the actor playing Nathan to also play the role of the post-op trans. They should have put some nuances from acting of Jason Abalos on Thea, much more convincing.
Finally done watching this series. First half of the series feels like a drag, Especially when it is blatantly obvious who's Paytai and who's Kong. I could not care less with the cases, they were not compelling enough for me. Feels like they were placed there to pad the story up to 16 episodes.
The story is pretty 'standard'. I was hoping for some twists but everything was predictable as it can be. It's not the usual thriller I want to watch. I guess the whole show was great if you don't care much on the story, but more on the acting and the actors themselves - they are good in portraying the characters.
At some point, I got lost as to whether I am watching a BL or not. The second half of the series (actually the last few episodes) shows more bromance than the actual romance. In fact, the main guy Tanwa looks more sweeter to his brother than to the cop girl lol.
Anan is pretty to look at lol.
I don't get the obsessive nature of Kong. I get his motivation but he quickly become the 'parent' that he hated. He pretty much torment Meena.
When they were solving crimes, it baffles me how Tanwa can just sneak in to any crime scene without any gloves, etc. Actually, not only him, but also the whole team.
I was actually wondering why Tanwa was called in as consultant to the team. Or did he present himself to Wilawan? Tanwa was actively investigating the 'symbol' on these crime scenes (they did not really explain what is the symbol, nor the significance of the painting).
Anyway, I'm gonna watch the Hello Monster and see if it was better,
does that defeat the purpose of a BL which literally mean 'boys love'?
no, what I mean is you categorize it as 'BL' and yet there's no romance. So I was just asking, it is like saying it is a horror show without any horror, or that it is a comedy without comedy.
I only watched this for Nonkul. I really think he is best suited for action drama or heavy drama. Didn't really appreciate him much in rom-com. The rest of the characters were good for rom com. The whole shrieking is just annoying.
The "Angel" CGI was horrible. I don't find it scary. I find it hilarious.
Other than that, it was a good storytelling, I wished they had the 2-3 more episodes that make Jin Kyeong-hoon (+daughter) and the kids who went to Canada come back.
I'm not totally satisfied of the baby surviving. It makes no sense at all. The golems right from the beginning has specific targets and would pursue the target no matter what, it does not stop to attack or get rid of people blocking it and start the ceremony.... unless.... there was an issue with TIME, maybe the golems have only a minute or so?
It was originally supposed to be a 2 hours movie so 9 hours(8.5 hours to be exact) were actually plenty.
Plenty? Not quite. As I have said, there are so many unexplored storylines. They just throw 100 rocks all at the same time which ended up with stories, if not all of the stories, half-baked, half-told. half-arsed. If it was a 2 hour movie, then they better trim down all the stories, and focus on 1-2 characters. They wont have to have the cop involved. The brother involved. The creepy masked rich folk involved. No side business of selling organs involved. Then it will be great.
Interesting… for me it felt really slow. I agree though. I would have loved to see better characterization,…
how is it slow? lol. there's so much stories to unpack and it feels half-baked and rushed. There's the story on organ trafficking and could have unpack some stories on the foot soldiers and their background, how they get recruited. The whole thing with the masked rich donor trying to have sex with the policeman suggest there's also prostitution, so there's a whole story angle to that. All the rest of the participants could have better background/flashback story just like in Money Heist. Not to mention, we needed a flashback of the old man and front man too.
I'm really hoping to see this show to expand more. An origin story where the first sets of games are played. And how the police shut this operation down. I bet it can even extend to politicians secretly supporting this game, as well as those 'home viewers'.
