tbh i think it's less about lack of physical intimacy/skinship between the characters but the set up/contextualisation of their romance narrative. for some audience (not me, just reiterating valid points i've read from others), they find its hard to suspend the belief of a convincing romance narrative when wasan tears up over the lie even though they've been dating for like what 2 weeks ish -> handcuffing kan -> getting kan a proper bday gift -> feeling betrayed again when he sees the pen at the crime scene.

even though i don't feel the same way as this opinion, i could see their valid points in terms of how kantew's romance is underdeveloped, sometimes feeling like we'd skip over scenes between them. i could fill in the gaps as a novel reader myself but if we look at the series independently, the writing should be tighter in order to make their romance more convincing if there's only 8 eps (for example, the angst would hit harder if they had been dating for a while or they started the series with them dating and flash back to gradually reveal things)

I had a few people messaging me about this so I'm posting this in the comments again for some exposure. I've finished transcribing the text of Euthanasia Book 2 into a PDF ebook with the help of a few kind friends. If you'd like to get early access to the ebook (on Dec 19, after episode 7 airs), please fill in this google form 🙇‍♀️🙏. I've already opened the link for Book 1 in the discussion tab above since I can see that they've changed the culprit around so I think it's worth giving Book 1 a try for those who thought the romance is a bit rushed yet underdeveloped in the series because they structured it much differently in the book.

no. realistic happy ending for our main couple

I totally recommend everyone reading the novel because the series had to cut many relationship development scenes of Kan and Tew to fit the adapted series

I see they've basically revealed everything from book 1 tonight. I've opened the link to the translated Euthanasia novel book 1 here, everyone enjoy! For those who have signed up in the google form for Book 2, see you next week then 😉

For tthose requesting access of the first book, i promise you i'll open it this week as it seems like the series will already reveal the biggest twist of book 1 after EP 4 and EP 5 since they're mixing up plot points of two novels together

the lie is gonna break Patchai... god i hope he doesn't die at the end. i would like to see him happily raising his family with Thicha 😭😭😭😭😭😭

This is a good alternative as well since it's free but you'll have to wait 4-5 days after the uploaded date for english subtitles

On your computer. Try logging into your iQIYI account first. Then press these links. It works fine for me without VPN even though it's blocked where I am (Australia)
EP 1: https://www.iq.com/play/spare-me-your-mercy-episode-1-1e3q3w4ts14?lang=en_us

EP 3: https://www.iq.com/play/spare-me-your-mercy-episode-3-iftulo4mzk?lang=en_us

waiting for someone to kindly share direct iqiyi link for ep 3 🥺

Three episodes

My favorite is Buddha Data. My beloved meow meow robot iBuddy. My heart breaks for Jessica in Paradistopia. I think the happiest episode is probably Black Sheep. They really set up the last episode for me to laugh so hard and then cry so hard for t wo girls. THIS IS NETFLIX THAILAND BEST ORIGINAL OF 2024

I pity Patchai. His mom tries to kill his girlfriend and in returns his girlfriend does the same so there's just gonna be an endless cycle of revenge until there's one survivor 🥲 Meanwhile this guy just hopes to build a small loving family with Thicha 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I need a happy ending for them. For some reason when Patchai and Thicha together, their scenes don't give off romantic vibes as much as they do comforting vibes. It's as if they're two lonely souls who found solace in each other 🥲

On Youtube is TV version (aka CUT) version, UNCUT is available on iQIYI for some countries. It has minimal difference though. Like in EP 1, UNCUT is exactly same as TV version. But I think the difference will become more obvious in future episodes where it has more explicit scenes, or more graphic/gory scenes.

the main characters will be in a boyfriends relationship. whether you consider that makes this series BL or not is up to you but they're GAY, i hope that helps 😁

spare me your mercy is scheduled to air every wed-thu, it premiered on thursday, hence theres only 1 ep this week. the drama that spare me your mercy replaced ended on wednesday. next week, there will be two eps, one wednesday one thursday.

yeppppp it's a super huge achievement, if not to say groundbreaking. and i think it has potential to break even higher records in future episodes.

I wrote about it here. A kind friend also shared extra interesting information about other QL series ratings https://www.tumblr.com/flowerbeasblog/768492177839046656/yay-so-happy-that-you-shared-this-i-also-got?source=share

it's not opening. 2.8 is the highest peak (meaning at some point the nationwide rating hit 2.8), usually the rating being used to compare TV episodes is the average rating which is 2.2 - still the all-time highest premiere episode for any BL/LGBTQ+ led series ever
