Taking into account this is a Thai film, it still showed potential. Striking color saturation/cinematography, mostly impressive special effects/gore, decent acting from the lead and some of the supporting cast.
But...as is often the case with Thai films, there's an overarching cheesiness that shows up in everything, from the scarlet red, full-length rain poncho the killer marches around wearing out in the open before killing people (and no one seems to notice), to the hilariously bad glue job at the front hairline of the silver wig worn by the lead detective, to 50 other things too annoying to mention.
Too bad...needed a much better director to correct these massive flaws, which added up, drove me to drop this thing about 1/3 of the way in.
4/10 for the lead's butt, the cinematography, and the wig glue. 😂
I am amused by "7/10" and "boring and meaningless". 🤣 incredibly kind rating for such a description…
OK, well, I'm asking why do you do that? You can do as you please, of course; that's not my issue.
I'm trying to understand why you use less than half of the scale on which you're grading something. Fill me in please. Maybe I'll start rating things the same way.
I am SO proud of Mom. She faltered, but came through when it mattered. ☺️
That beautiful smile Sui gave Harutora when they were on the bench near the end...the first truly relaxed, natural smile we have seen from him. 😁 Even when they were alone together in the dorm room, there was a pinched/tight quality to his smile. Not any longer 💥💥💥 And the mask is completely GONE! 💥🥰
In a BL universe where many happy endings are saccharine-sweet and ring false; existing more to please a target audience than to complete a story authentically, this one EARNED its joyful finale.
Both leads are exceptional actors, and I hope to see more from them both. Sui is one of the most original, quirky BL characters I've seen.
Not ready to see this one go, so it will remain on my Currently Watching list until I'm ready to let go of it. For now...9/10. Could go higher.
I wonder if the dabbing-at-wounds-with-a-dry-Qtip scene was primarily so we'd know the show is, in fact, a BL...? ☺️
"I know." Two words can sometimes change a life. The OST is phenomenal. As much as anything, it's setting this somber/dark atmosphere (that of course, I love).
Seriously? In the trunk? T That is a heartbreaking level of abuse...😞

Also, are you the official labels police? :D
What about the numbers 1-6.5?
So I repeat, "Who (in the real world) kisses like that?"
Not counting Kindergarteners, of course.
What a splendid wrap-up. 🥰💯☺️

SEQUEL PLEASE.
I mean...even most kindergartners don't kiss like that. ☺️
Doesn't the unnatural aspect of it pull you out of the story?
Who kisses like that? ☹️☺️
omg...teacher bought Hyeon Jae a sandwich bun.
He's totally groooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooming him!!! 🙄🙄🙄

Acting continues to be impressively naturalistic.
This could be a milestone in Korean BL.
Wow.
Off to a flawless start.
First-rate production values, acting/direction/music
Very much does NOT feel like a standard BL at this point.
I felt like there was another half-hour coming.
Fun watch.
8/10
