Does anyone know why some of the characters' (the villagers mostly, and Drake's character) dialogue are subtitled in Thai? I'm guessing it's a dialect, but what dialect are they speaking?
This show does send a good message about educating and enlightening viewers on LGBT+ issues, but from a character…
At the risk of sounding like a basic stan, I would follow Karl's eyes. For an introvert who was repressing so many things inside him, his eyes said everything his words couldn't.
haha, can anyone please explain what the "uncanny valley" phenomenon is ? Perhaps I am not of the same generation…
"The concept suggests that humanoid objects which imperfectly resemble actual human beings provoke uncanny or strangely familiar feelings of eeriness and revulsion in observers."
-- This usually applies to robots or animation that is nearly human-like, but not quite there yet. And it freaks people out.
How does watching this as a closeted queer teenager help you? It helps you realize the consequences of NOT being paranoid enough. You're not entitled to your happiness, you're an object lesson to the rest of the world waiting to happen. You'll bury yourself deep in your closet, so deep that you can only escape to Narnia in your dreams. The best thing you can do is die and leave everyone else with survivor's guilt.
We know, okay? WE KNOW it's not safe for us. I didn't need yet another reminder, on national TV no less, that this world is out to get us.
There are TWO time skips in Episode 8. Background: Most of the story occurs during semestral break (December 2018).
Timeskip #1: First day of school (January 2019). [09:55 timestamp] Timeskip #2: Assembly of Student Filmmakers Applicant's Orientation (September 6, 2019) [32:44 timestamp]
Therefore, the very last scene happened EIGHT months after.
Oh, and to those who prefer a 'canon' happy ending, they did show it - as Karl's AU. You could just close your browser after Karl narrates how he would have written their story. That escapism might be too on the nose though lol.
I accept your hatred and derision, it salts my eggs in the morning.
For a series entitled "Gaya sa Pelikula (Like in the Movies)", the ending is ironically totally not like in the (popular) movies. And I suspect that's the undercurrent of dissatisfaction going through the comments section here.
That's valid. I too don't usually like these open-ended partially-digested endings, I like my endings one-and-done.
But I enjoyed the characters, the story, and their message, so much so that I am willing to wait for their Season 2.
I wonder which character Severo is? It's too real and personal not to be based on someone's true story, although…
Severo said that his past self was Karl, back when he himself was also an Architecture student who wanted to shift to Film. For context of a more personal nature regarding Severo's past in relation to this series, read his tweet thread here [trigger warning] (https://twitter.com/TheRainBro/status/1329130359032692737?s=20).
However, his present self is Vlad, because he's currently in a relationship with someone who's not yet ready to come out. This wasn't intentional -- according to him, after writing Episode 7 he nearly broke up with his boyfriend because of the realizations that hit him.

Yes. The plot.
#1. Cheating is not right
#2. People cheat
And I'm okay with both existing at the same time.

If you prefer a realistic ending to the first season of the show, continue until the finale.

... they just cremated them instead.

What an exhausting show.
