oh no. that doesn’t bode well. GSYFD has audio problems too. I don’t know if it was throughout, but I only noticed them in the second half.
I think many people with money and influence (or who know people with money and influence) believe this no matter what country they’re from, unfortunately. But I would hope that if I ever went to Thailand and struck up a conversation with a normal person and asked, “so hey do cops just run around shooting into the air?” they would say “hahaha no, that’s just TV!”

It’s called Dare You to Death. Basically it’s two opposite detectives trying to figure out what’s going on with a bunch of deaths that seem to be revolving around a truth or dare game. I’m not that far into the first episode. I got distracted.
I mean… coercion is illegal but done anyways in a lot of countries. But the way he was doing it (out in the open where anyone could be watching and recording) made it seem like it was totally fine and accepted.

For sure giving it a bit of a pass for the drama. I just started another show today and in like the first intro to one of the MLs, he’s pointing a gun at a teenager and shooting into the air and telling him he’s going to shoot him in the head if he doesn’t tell him where the drugs are from, and I’m like “well… okay…I guess you don’t have to fill out reports for why you shot your weapon, not to mention the possible issues of confession under coercion…” lol
200% yes with the police procedure. That was so frustrating. The section you mentioned when King goes into the fridge alone… I was like NO WTF are you doing? That was far from the only time. And the medical realism.
I have a question about episode 3, I’ll post it as a spoiler comment.
At the end sequence of the episode, Arisu says (according to my subs) that he’s going to forfeit, leaving the “lambs” in the arena alone and presumably alive. Then he proceeds to go and try to find them instead of leaving. Why does he do this? It goes against what he says and ensures they’re going to die. I also don’t get why they hid from him before he even started looking for them. I can only imagine that there were problems with the subs or he was trying to pass on the “wolf” status to another friend, but that doesn’t make sense because it ensures the death of the other one.
In the full series he goes from a sadist who doesn’t care for anyone to first slowly falling in love, then giving…
ah! thanks so much for your comment and explanation. I’m glad there is a growth and that you felt that difference by episode 5. I saw some random clips to try and see if I wanted to continue, and I see what you mean about both of them having to grow into better people.
Thanks also for the book warning. I don’t have a problem with morally ambiguous, red/black-flag characters necessarily (I’m reading 2HA, for instance, and I really feel for MR sometimes even though he’s freaking horrible to CW all the time right now) as long as things change and they’re not the same at the end as they are in the beginning.
I appreciate this all the same. Thanks again for taking the time and for the heads up about the show and the book. I started something else right now, so I’ll think about whether or not I’ll continue this as I finish that.
I’m at a bit over 30 min into the first episode when the rich ML does something unforgivable and really tough to come back from, and I just want someone to explain to me how I’m going to want to root for these two when that ML is okay doing *that*? Does he grow? feel remorse? anything? I was really interested in this (especially the doctor TBH), but I just 🤢🤬… would love it if someone who loves this could explain why?
Yes, we are moving at light-speed. Wedding in episode 4? 🤣In aquarium she definitely appreciated that he didn’t…
oh I really liked that part. it was a great character development scene without telling us it’s a character development scene. he just understood the service industry, knew how utterly frustrating it can be especially when people don’t understand the service industry, and was kind instead. but the episode didn’t make it a big deal… it’s just who he is and that’s that.

If someone can please explain. Thanks!
