Do you guys think that Thomas is found or not? They show the skeletons on the tv but no real indication if he is one of it and he didnt disappear like the rest of them did?
exactly, what do you think of the other episodes? ^^
hey! I'll just talk about the ones that made more impression on me!
ep 1 - As a fangirl myself, I relate to the main character XD I kinda predicted that everything was planned right from the start. Seems dubious that she managed to rmb little details from the fan letter of one out of so many fanboys. Also, they had that interview with him earlier on so everything kinda matched up. Tho I didnt expect that it was Mew Mint herself who planned it. But the real twist for me was when the main lead just move on to the next idol even after finding out how shallow an idol life could be. I guess this is really realistic on their part, because humans tend to just move on to the "next best thing".
ep 2 - the plot was kinda predictable but the ending was really unexpected for me. I felt really bad for the doctor. I think Jane had the intention to agitate him into beating her up so that she could post about it but turns out he controlled himself and she had to fake it till she make it. Really shows the ugly and selfish side of humans and what they would do to "help themselves". And! also how we are all really just internet trash, taking in whatever we see from social media.
ep 4 - This one was questionable. Clearly, Men's intention was for the sake of justice, but his methods was a violation of privacy (especially flying his drone around the building, that's a no-no and live streaming). Very relatable to the world we live in now especially with the personal data act in recent years. Brings up a question of whether it would be considered morally right to violate one's privacy in order to bring justice to light. The story was very nicely executed, tho am not a fan of the jump scare scene which ironically is the episode's title.
ep 5 - I really like this ep! It was like a "who done it" game until the end then you realised that everything was linked from the start. The message is clear about the consequences of spreading fake news though I doubt it would be as extreme as how the leads had it. Also, I like the side story about how the news faker himself got trick on the dating app hahahaha
Going back to episode 6, I find it sad how the whole tragedy could be avoided with just a little bit more communication. If Ai talked to Xin after she received those text messages, things might have been better. Sure, they might break up due to misunderstandings but hey, nobody will get killed. Also, this ep really highlighted our reliance on technology...
Gosh! I was a little long winded here. But overall, it was a really nice series about social media, the acting was good and flow of each episode was smooth. Enough for an overthinker like me to ponder on for a few hours ^^
Episode 6 is so tragic T__T I guess it also goes to show that limitation of AI and that humans are far more complex than any AI calculations especially when it comes to human emotions!
YESS, I was shocked. The kids were amazing actors, in the documentary you see that kid Teh actually followed adult…
I noticed that too! I even went back the previous scene to see if the younger oh has the same two moles haha. Even their group of friends had the same aura... really impressive! I haven't finish the drama yet (dreading the emptiness i'll feel after that T>T) but I went to watch their documentary and I really like how they did their workshop with the young actors and everyone in general. It helps the actors to capture the same persona/aura that each character portrays be it young or older which makes it realistic! Really hope they can keep up with it in S2 as well..!
Before I proceed to watch this drama, can anybody heads up me if there are any rape scenes in this? Cos it seems like its quite a common thing in BLs..
This is the third sleepless society series I watched after Insomnia and Ncytophobia and it managed to keep the same mysterious and creepy atmosphere similar to the other series. The scene opens with the discovery of a skeleton. So warning to anybody who might be scared. The story begins when Nara, our female lead, was invited by her suitor, Rain to his soon-to-be launched resort. As she gets to know Rain more, she discovers that that he is hiding something or someone and he seemed to have two personalities. The reason gets revealed by end of episode one but you'll also want to find out more about this dysfunctional family. Overall, a good story with unpredictable plot twists that keeps you entertained. As with every sleepless society series (it seems), there are questions that were not answered but nonetheless, a good drama! Not much of scary scenes or horror just creepy people and some violent scenes...
The start of the drama was good, as there was a mystery elements and built up in the story. The plot gave too…
However, there were some story plots that I felt could be explored further:
How did Arm and Tom meet? Why did Arm want to kill Tom's uncle? Why was Arm so invested in swapping identities (beside the fun of it)? How was Tom and his uncle's relationship like? Besides being poor, and living in a slum, not much story was given into Tom's background. What was Tom's uncle's relationship with the cult? When did Pete start getting involved with the cult business? What was their relationship?
Also, the doctor seemed to be very "free" as he had a lot of time to investigate :P If he quit being a doctor one day, he could be a detective instead. I would say that Meena is probably my least favourite female lead as we literally see her from a capable strong lady to delusional mum. She attacked and killed people as well, not sure why the police only wanted to arrest Tom.
The start of the drama was good, as there was a mystery elements and built up in the story. The plot gave too much info (imo) away towards halfway through the story and hence, the ending of the drama wasn't too surprising for me. Definitely twisted yet predictable. I thought that the plot could easily do without 13 eps, as it ended up abit long and draggy (esp since the story was quite clear near the end). Overall, a good watch if you are new to cult/ mystery dramas.
Overall, good message conveyed across the drama itself about how destructive social media can be. There are also other social problems including rape and suicide that were discussed and touched on. I would admit that it was too slow to my liking and I found myself ended up skipping some parts in each ep. Thought it would have been better if there were lesser episodes but I guess the director/screenwriter wanted to show more deeper into the turmoils and/or guilt that the lead characters went through.
Also, I just needed to say this but Singaporeans don't necessarily add a "la" to every sentence we say ? (in reference to the singaporean tourist that appeared in one of the last few eps)
let's hope that pushing it back actually gives more time for quality production! :)
