such a great start!
set in the 1990s, this is this story of Tonrak and Barth, “one that has lost all faith, one that is full of unwavering faith”.
I absolutely love the cinematography and color grading. so dark and gritty, so different from GMMTV’s usual style, and exactly what this story deserves. everything felt so artistic and poetic. that one scene where Tonrak and Barth stop the crucifix from falling and their hands touch, the sheer symbolism of that scene!!
Fourth’s acting was as amazing as always! while I usually found Gemini’s acting quite stiff in his past dramas, here his acting felt pretty expressive. I could feel his anger at God, and life in general . when he said “then one day I realized, your God never helped me at all”, I FELT THAT!!
one this that me and a lot of other people seem to be confused about (mild spoilers ahead …)
is that in the beginning the Father says “hard to believe it’s been almost 20 years” when present timeline is 2025 and past timeline starts from 1996.
later on they say something about the ordination being over 10 years away, (ep1 19:05). so I’m guessing maybe the past timeline will go up to 2006-07, and that’s when Father and Barth met for the last time until the time skip. hence, their current meeting in 2025 being almost 20 years since the last time they met. I wonder how all that can fit in just 6 episodes, I hope nothing feels rushed!
so far, this is off to a great start, and I feel like we’re about to witness something extraordinary. can’t wait to see how this unfolds!
PS. ep1 gave me major I Told Sunset About You vibes, and that’s one of my most favorite BLs of all time! I’m wishing that TTH turns out be a masterpiece just like ITSAY🥹
