Spare Me Your Mercy (2024)

a hidden gem !

best bl serie i watched, 10/10 i highly recommend everyone to watch it
no matter how much i talk about this it will not give it justice, this is very well done, amazing plot ,amazing chemistry (watch until the end) and it talks about serious topics that need to be discussed
life is a very gray zone not black or white it shows ,same about those characters, sometimes it makes you question whats right and wrong
the main topic is Euthanasia, in some countries its legal in some its not, laws doesnt always give you peace and sometimes it doesnt align with what you feel that you need to do ,so what will you do, will you stay in the path that you dont believe in or do what feels right to your peace of mind even if it might get you in trouble? would you risk your life and your career? , whats right might not be legal and it turn you to be a criminal by law

Quite a surprise

I’m not going to write some crazy in depth review like a ton of people do for these shows. I’m simply just going to review this on my emotions and how I felt watching this. Personally I am not really a fan of mystery mixed with BL. I am the stereotypical BL lover meaning I love the high school, college and office drama. Given that I have seen almost every BL on Viki and IQIYI, I was just seething for something else to watch. It took my a good thirty minutes to decide if this title is going to be worth my time. But I ended up giving it a shot. So far, the chemistry between the two mains is so/so. I feel the connection they have, but it’s just been such a slow burn which I love and hate, considering the fact that I just binged the first five episodes and now have to wait to see the rest. I was not expecting to love the mystery aspect of this. I think the cliff hangers and the not knowing is really hooking me onto this. Well that and just the face that the mains are such eye candy, I’m dying for them to get together. But they are playing this mystery off so well, like I could even tell you what is going to happen next. I also really like the idea of how they are using such a controversial topic as the main hook for the series. It’s risky in the public eye, but they have done it so well. I really would recommend this series, and please pray I don’t loose it before the next episode comes out, the stupid preview for episode six has really got me going crazy.

Is this a bl?

This is a very intense show. Very well written and the actors are pretty good. I just finished episode 4 and moving on to episode 5. I’m having a hard time believing that this is a bl. I see nothing other than one character saying they like the other in the first episode. There’s been no real hugging or kissing or even any longing. The characters are not really thinking about each other when they are not together. I just don’t see it. (Maybe love will happen in the last episode) This is super good as a suspense. It really keeps you on your toes and guessing. But a love story, nah!

BL OF THE YEAR!!!!

With just one episode, Spare Me Your Mercy delivered everything and more.

The BL delivered in just one episode, perfect acting, the BL photography is incredible, quality, a million-dollar script, just the right amount of suspense, perfect soundtrack, only Sammon could deliver BLs with such quality.

I'm anxious to know what will happen in the next episodes (which will be 2 episodes per week).

The series has everything to be one of the best of the year, if not the best of the year.

I think the actors are new to the world of BLs, but they've already started with a heavy BL (very good).

A Solid BL Thai Crime, Mystery, Romance and Suspense Drama

From the authorship of Sammon, the prolific Thai novelist of works of the BL genre, two magnificent suspense, mystery, medical-forensic, police and romantic dramas captivate the viewer.
Both have communicating vessels in terms of themes, styles, almost absolute pre-eminence of the hospital space as a dramatic epicenter, the rural environment, treatment and organization of information, ambiguity of the characters, script approaches, and interweaving of the respective investigative processes with their respective social contexts. However, they will not be one and another copy and carbon copy, since both have notable differences in their plots and the characteristics and behaviors of their characters.
Both titles – caustic, not at all complacent with their socio-historical surroundings – provide suggestive insights into homosexual romance in the midst of a criminological investigation, the eternal struggle between good and evil, police investigations that turn investigators and others involved into victims of powerful dark forces, moral double standards, the return of the narrative hero to the small provincial town where he was born after several years, already converted into a professional, the hatred of those who are different and the polarity of a Thailand divided into ethical, civic, human, cultural and religious issues.
These series are 'Manner of Death', directed by Chookiat Sakveerakul and Aum Natthphong Aroonnet, and 'Spare Me Your Mercy', by director Worawit Khuttiyayothin; the two adaptations, the first of the novel of the same name, while the second is of the work "Euthanasia", both written by Sammon.
The romance, mystery, suspense and police drama by Chookiat Sakveerakul and Aum Natthaphong Aroonnet recreates the investigation of a homicide carried out by a forensic doctor, who will be joined by the main suspect to, together, follow clues and find the real killer. The investigative process will lead them to discover illegal abortion practices, human trafficking, political, police and administrative corruption, sexual abuse against minors, human trafficking, illegal drug use, among other topics; Meanwhile, the two young people will discover they have feelings for each other.
Worawit Khuttiyayothin's crime-thriller-mystery-romance drama follows a police captain's investigation into the strange deaths of several terminally ill patients in a small provincial town, and with the death rate rising Among the patients, everything seems to indicate that each tragic outcome is part of a series of crimes in which the Palliative Care doctor who cared for the patients on the eve of their death, including the sub-inspector's mother, may be involved.
Worawit Khuttiyayothin, whose work expresses interest in strong, mysterious and complex homosexual male identities ('Century of Love', 'Laws of Attraction', 'To Sir, with Love'), finds in the construction of the characters of the police captain Thiu Wasan and Dr. Kan Kantaphat Akkharamethi, and in the defense of the characters by the actors JJ Krissanapoom Pibulsonggram ('#HATETAG', 2021), and Tor Thanapob Leeratanakachorn ('Hormones', 2013), respectively, four allies of notable weight.
The suspicions that Kant, a highly respected doctor, admired and loved by the other members of the medical team as well as by patients and families, is involved in the crimes, arise as a barrier to the romantic relationship he builds with Wasan, a prestigious police officer whose career is based on ethics and moral values, always dedicated to defending those most in need. As a police officer, you must be the one who defends justice. As a lover, you sincerely hope that the man you are in a relationship with is innocent of all charges.
Thiu and Kan are owners of a fascinating personality that does not leave anyone around them indifferent.
'Spare Me Your Mercy' has a procedural format with cases in which we will learn about each of the initial circumstances that lead the patient and his family to require the services of Dr. Kan and the clinic where he works, and with the subsequent death of said patient. in mysterious circumstances.
With the complicity of screenwriter Sirilux Srisukon ('Trab Sin Dind Fah' 2008), the director uses both the unusual psychological profile of the police officer and the doctor, the former for his sagacity in the area of ​​criminal investigation, and the latter as suspected of being involved in the crimes, as well as the ductility of both actors, to model two very attractive characters who circumambulate between determination and the veil, courage when confronting to all types of crimes and inspire distrust, sensitivity and coldness, the precise and the ambiguous, light and shadows, life and death, truth and lies, good and evil.
Like any police investigation sub-inspector, Thiu works in tandem with another police officer, in this case the experienced Lieutenant Kawin Kongthong (Phuak Pongsatorn Jongwilas), a man who shows seriousness and good sense when using the language and skills of the police officer to find culprits in a provincial city where a criminal act rarely occurs.
To highlight the performances of Fresh Arisara Wongchalee as the nurse On, Aim as "Boss" Chanchai, the pharmacist; Gandhi Wasuwitchayagit as Somsak La-amornchai, the hospital director, and Prim Atchareeya Potipipittanakorn as "Rin" Suphaphorn, the medical examiner, among other actors and actresses.
Worawit Khuttiyayothin observes the compass taken by directors of great police and suspense dramas (John Huston, Orson Welles, Akira Kurosawa, Jean-Pierre Melville, Martin Scorsese, William Friedkin and Brian De Palma, among others) in the way of peeking, putting on the screen and follow the evolution of the process of following the clues, identifying the culprit, eliminating suspect by suspect from the list of possible criminals, but personalizing their authorship to the time to put together your dramaturgical composer, to which you add the factor of romance and mystery.
His series, ascetically formal and with meticulous narrative rigor, makes his organizational arts an identifying mark. Each small compositional fragment gives it a unity of meaning that configures sizes and ultimately explains the tapestry of each scene.
The series captivates the viewer from the first scenes, both for the announced romance, the chemistry of the two protagonists, the perfect mix of exciting and mysterious murders, sensuality, intrigue that manages to attract even the most passive viewers and leave them glued to the screen, wanting more. A magnificent puzzle that, while making many dream of kissing and sex scenes starring Thiu and Kan, challenges the audience to join the clues to unravel some meaning at the heart of the story.
Some of the strongest things about this series are the element of mystery and the dichotomy between good and evil, between light and darkness.
In this sense, Worawit Khuttiyayothin also establishes a lucid correlation between the murders of patients with terminal illnesses, the high cost of hospital fees and charges, and the loss of family interest in protecting and caring for their patients at this stage of the illness being exhausted and suffering in the face of a situation that has no satisfactory solution, the search by some sectors of society for the decriminalization of what is also known as "mercy killing" as a driving effect on the development of palliative care, while another part of society opposes, crime and assisted suicide, since in Thailand euthanasia is not expressly allowed, but it is not expressly prohibited either, when religious, ethical, scientific and legal issues intermingle in the debates in around the legalization of "death with dignity."
While the initial appeal of 'Spare Me Your Mercy' for many people will probably be enjoying this new BL couple in action, since no one at this point can argue about the chemistry and complicity that exists between these two actors, I think the story as a whole is what really keeps the audience hooked and expectant.
So I ask the reader, as you follow each clue and test your intuition: Can you get to the bottom of the case, or will you fall into the trap? Can you anticipate the twists and turns the story may take, or do you think you have it all figured out from the beginning?
And I ask myself other questions: Will the young doctor be able to prove his innocence or is he really the one behind the crimes? What can happen when the patient is willing to undergo euthanasia but the law does not yet support it? As a doctor who saves lives... would you agree to take the lives of your patients? Will Thiu choose love or duty? Will Thiu be able to decipher the mystery of the murders, be faithful to the law and avoid falling into the temptation that the doctor represents? Could it be that fulfilling the mission of providing a dignified and suffering-free death to clinically terminally ill people when their condition will inevitably end in death could not be considered an act of mercy? Do you think Thiu and Kan will end up making 'Spare Me Your Mercy' the best BL of 2024?
Too early to write a definitive review. I will continue updating it as the next episodes are aired until the end.

Un sujet nécessaire mais une romance ennuyeuse

Je vais être honnête sur mon ressenti : je n'ai pas du tout aimé cette histoire et j'ai été tentée uniquement parce qu'elle était étiquetée "romance BL". Le thème de l'euthanasie ainsi que la manière dont le sujet a été amené sont lourds, barbants et déprimants. Toutefois, même si sur le plan personnel ce thème ne m'intéresse pas spécialement (voire pas du tout) et que j'ai déjà ma propre opinion là-dessus sans avoir besoin d'une intrigue qui me fasse réfléchir davantage pour m'y sensibiliser, je me dois d'être objective en précisant que c'est un sujet nécessaire et intelligent qui apporte de la profondeur dans le paysage des BL (et pour les férus de romances BL où les scénarios sont généralement bien neuneus, il faut reconnaître que c'est une prise de risque à saluer). Pour ma part il s'agit donc uniquement d'une question de goûts et de préférences personnelles, c'est pourquoi je me sens obligée de mettre une assez bonne note dans la mesure où le sujet a été assez bien traité. En bref, l'histoire m'a saoulée mais elle intéressera d'autres spectateurs qui ne sont pas forcément familiarisés avec l'euthanasie, car elle a le mérite d'apporter des pistes de réflexion intéressantes. En outre, l'intrigue est amenée sous l'angle policier, ce qui offre un peu de suspense et sait maintenir notre intérêt.
Ceci étant dit, j'ai trouvé la romance tout sauf passionnante. Je n'ai pas noté d'alchimie particulière entre les acteurs et leur histoire d'amour était très secondaire, alors dans ce contexte déjà très lourd j'avoue qu'elle m'a franchement barbée. J'en viens à me demander quel était l'intérêt d'insérer une romance BL dans ce type d'intrigue et pour l'instant je n'ai que deux hypothèses :
1) Les scénaristes voulaient attirer un peu de monde sur une série qui, à cause de son thème sombre, aurait fait moins d'audience, et ils se sont dit "tant qu'à faire les BL attirent des fans alors pondons-leur une histoire d'amour entre mecs, on est sûr d'avoir du public",
2) Ils voulaient tenter un nouveau pairing et cette série visait à tester le potentiel de ce couple pour des futurs BL éventuels. Les deux acteurs sont adultes et si l'on considère qu'ils ne sont plus des débutants, c'est vrai que c'était à tenter (d'une part ils ont tous deux interprété des cousins dans le drame "In Family We Trust", d'autre part l'un d'eux a déjà joué dans un BL complètement WTF intitulé "Great Men Academy" - et là je fais une digression sur ce dernier : c'est un des rares dramas où pour mon plus grand bonheur, le/la protagoniste finit avec le 2nd ML canon au lieu de son crush du début, ce qui est assez rare pour être remarqué).
Après je ne vais pas m'en plaindre, les deux acteurs étaient mignons à regarder, et le fait d'apporter deux personnages principaux avec des valeurs opposées sur l'euthanasie a permis de mettre en lumière une dualité de points de vue sur le sujet (d'un côté la loi, de l'autre les valeurs morales et humaines), mais j'avoue que leur histoire ne m'a pas donné une seule fois des papillons dans le ventre. Dommage que l'intrigue initiale ait laissé trop peu d'espace pour qu'une véritable tension amoureuse ait le temps de se développer.
En résumé, le thème principal était nécessaire et apporte une profondeur dans le paysage des BL aux scénarios pas toujours très intelligents, mais d'un point de vue personnel j'ai trouvé l'histoire assez déprimante et je regrette que l'aspect romance n'ait pas su relever une intrigue déjà sombre à la base, d'autant que ça se passe dans un patelin perdu dans la montagne avec des décors qui soulignent la pauvreté et le manque de moyens des locaux. Si on traverse une phase dépressive, il vaut mieux passer son chemin et porter son choix sur une histoire d'amour à paillettes. En revanche, si vous cherchez un scénario qui fait un minimum réfléchir et que l'estampiller BL vous a permis de découvrir une série que vous n'auriez pas regardée sans cela, n'hésitez pas. De toute façon elle ne contient (heureusement !) que 8 épisodes.

Queria dar 10000000000!

Perfeita, simplesmente perfeita.

Nem sei por onde eu começo. Essa série me fez aguardar ansiosamente pelas quartas e quintas-feiras. E já estou com saudades de Kan & Wassan.

O último episódio me deixou literalmente emocionalmente destruída. É simplesmente a melhor série que assisti este ano. Tudo nela é perfeito. Como havia mencionado anteriormente a cada episódio, a série me deixava mais fascinada pela maneira como explorava temas profundos como eutanásia, ética médica e a complexidade das relações humanas. A série simplesmente apresentou questões éticas de uma maneira complexa e multifacetada, permitindo que o público refletisse sobre os tópicos sensíveis por conta própria. Ela não impôs uma visão única sobre eutanásia ou decisões médicas difíceis, mas apresentou dilemas morais por meio das experiências e conflitos dos personagens, especialmente entre o Dr. Kan e o Inspetor Wasan.

A eutanásia é um debate que faz parte da nossa rotina diária enquanto profissionais da área médica, especialmente aqueles que cuidam de pacientes com doenças terminais. O diálogo final entre Kan e Wassan me levou as lágrimas, principalmente a fala do Dr. Kan. E como o Dr. Kan, acredito que se o paciente estiver no uso das suas capacidades mentais, ele deveria ser capaz de decidir como gostaria de terminar sua vida.

Amei a ambiguidade moral dos personagens, porque representa a sociedade em que vivemos. Nada é preto no branco. Dr. Kan vê a eutanásia como um ato de misericórdia enquanto Wassan considera a eutanásia é moralmente errada e legalmente indefensável.

JJ e Tor dão um verdadeiro show de atuação durante a série toda com uma química alucinante e exalando sensualidade por todos os poros, mas nos últimos 20 minutos da série eles se superaram. Magistral. Thiu implorando com o olhar para que Kan confesse me deixou destruída. Acredito que o instinto de Wassan sempre lhe disse que Kan era o responsável pelas mortes, e de certa maneira ele entendia o porque de Kan se sentir responsável por minimizar o sofrimento dos seus pacientes, mas Wassan também precisava que Kan o entendesse. E ele entendeu.

Aliás, todo o elenco está de parabéns por conferir ambiguidade e
profundidade emocional a personagens tão complexos. Uma direção primorosa, com um enfoque especial no desenvolvimento dos personagens, permitiu que os atores entregassem performances autênticas e emocionantes. Além disso, a série manteve um um ritmo equilibrado, alternando entre momentos de grande tensão e cenas mais calmas e introspectivas. A OST é perfeita.

E embora a série não tenha terminado como eu gostaria, com Kan e Wassan vivendo felizes para sempre, considerei o final perfeito para que o relacionamento deles possa evoluir sem necessidade de segredos, nem mentiras. Portanto, estarei aguardando ansiosamente pela temporada 2!!!

Preciso urgentemente de mais séries como essa!!! Por favor, assistam essa série!! Vocês não vão se arrepender!!

Uau, acho que nunca escrevi tanto sobre uma série 😂😂😂😂

Enredo envolvente: A combinação de suspense, romance e drama mantém o espectador envolvido.

"A série BL produzida pela Talinadia representa uma obra-prima dentro do gênero. Havia uma expectativa considerável desde que não se via uma narrativa que se afastasse dos padrões tradicionais, ou, como comumente dizemos, 'fora da caixa'. O enredo, repleto de suspense, cativa o espectador e o deixa ansioso por novos capítulos.

Lançada em 2024, a série "Spare Me Your Mercy", inspirada no romance "Euthanasia" de Sammon, recebeu críticas altamente positivas devido à sua abordagem única e complexa de temas como eutanásia, moralidade e amor. Destaco as atuações extraordinárias de JJ Krissanapoom Pibulsonggram e Tor Thanapob Leeratanakachorn, assim como a química notável entre os protagonistas.

A narrativa acompanha o major da polícia, Wasan, que investiga uma sequência de mortes suspeitas entre pacientes em fase terminal, e explora sua relação com o Dr. Kantaphat, o médico que cuidou de sua mãe. A história levanta questões éticas e morais, conseguindo manter o público engajado e intrigado.
Os pontos fortes da série incluem:

- Atuações convincentes: JJ e Tor proporcionaram performances memoráveis, infundindo profundidade e complexidade nas suas respectivas personagens.

- Enredo envolvente: A combinação de suspense, romance e drama mantém o espectador envolvido.

- Química entre os personagens: A relação entre Wasan e Kantaphat é simultaneamente convincente e emocionante.

Em suma, "Spare Me Your Mercy" é uma série bem-sucedida que aborda temas complexos com sensibilidade e profundidade.

No que tange ao desfecho da história, considero-o justo; não foi melancólico, tampouco se viu como um 'carrasco'. Os dois, que se amam profundamente, decidiram permanecer juntos, mesmo diante da necessidade de tomar decisões éticas e corretas. "
