Okay, I get that he's the guy who does favors and takes care of things, but what on earth does he need a medallion…
Like any avid collector, irrespective of the items collected - million-pound masterpieces, body parts of murder victims or bonbon wrappers, - BJ is dead serious about his collection of the "bloody jewellery". The keepsakes ornated with a rusty speckle of blood are among other attributes & symbols employed by BJ to exert psychological pressure on a counterparty. Being asked to seal an agreement printed on a sheet of paper is far less impressive than blood donation by prickling your finger with a spike hidden in a little locket. A nice detail – pain is a good reminder of a punishment for non-compliance with the terms of the deal.
I think Fan Xiao is actually malicious, while Big Jane isn't, imo. In fact, this is one of the biggest plot mysteries…
„BJ weaponizes the promise against himself”. BJ uses the ”promise” as a weapon (a tool) of self-sabotage: he doesn't want to rape LJ, so he turns his wow into a strict rule to beat himself down when failing to get from LJ what he wants.
In accordance with the contract and additionally established rules LJ is in BJ's full possession and is not allowed to be too emotional — BJ has the right to take what LJ refuses to give him willingly. Nevertheless, BJ is constrained to act within the limits of the binding wow given before signing the contract. Thus, BJ's letting LJ off doesn't contradict the deal in general, yet felt like the pain inflicted on himself. Pain is good – it rewires the circuits in BJ's brain. Does my way of thinking make any sense to you?
I don't perceive BJ as a good guy. Have you noticed, BJ is deeply convinced that everything he does is right? He believes in his own infallibility & impeccability, at least he sounds like that.
BJ has almost committed a rape. We witness an uncontrollable emotional outburst having a destabilizing effect on BJ's psychophysical state. Does he feel that he is overstepping LJ's boundaries? Does he exhibit any remorse? Or concern about LJ? Any emotions at all apart from the pervasive, hard to quell rage?
What BJ is doing to get his aggression under control & de-escalate the tension?
He needs physical distance & something reckless to do so that he will be able to suppress his anger.

"What Makes P'Jane Stops?" My answer "LJ's bodily reactions: the rigid muscles, and then limp dummy-like limbs - we call it "flopping", - ceasing resistance completely with the head turned to the side to avoid the eye contact, the vacant eyes - the first step into dissociation, involuntary sobs & shivers".
As far as I understand, you concentrated on the words " fear & distress", & I must admit I had been careless enough to use the imprecise, misleading terms which I primarily associate with actions in lieu of emotions. Fear is chemical shifts in the brain triggering a victim's body physical reactions. I hope we've cleared up a misunderstanding caused by my bad turn of phrase.
BJ cannot have recognised the immediate survival responses to a sexual assault - he holds a psychology degree, after all.
You know what? I tip my hat to Lj for his efforts to get through to blinded by the wrath & jealousy BJ & explain his refusal to have sex.
it is kind of simpler.BJ can't handle breakup. He has planned marriage. And, it is frustrating that he has no…
That's nice to talk with someone who has a different view on the matter. Let's continue watching & discussing. Hope, you don't mind, do you?
By the way, what do you think about the scene from EP. 2 Timestamp 26:20 - 27:04? 44 seconds of the dark ambient background music emphasising BJ's overreaction on LJ's minor flesh wound. Do they imply that there is another "soul harvester" lurking in the dark or it's rather one more attempt to lead the viewers astray?

A dangerous person is capable of causing physical, mental or emotional harm to others; acts with purpose and intent to trigger destructive effect;, lacks of empathy or remose, showing unpredictable often reckless behaviour.

"P'Jane stops before Little Jane says, "Continue!" After stopping..." I said exactly the same thing. LJ's„Continue!” sobered BJ up & allowed him to weaponize the promise agains himself & bottle up his rage, thus he found himself driving the car hellbent for leather. By all means, it was a narrow escape in every sense of the word.

Emotional aspects are the least essential among those mentioned by me. I understand what you mean perfectly well & respect your approach, nevertheless, I see the situation in a ddifferent way. BJ's facial expression was more eloquent than any words: from the very beginning of assault in spite of his need to possess, he hadn't lost control of himself even for a split second. He didn't stop until he realised that LJ's body utterly shut down & there was going to be rape ahead. That's not what he wanted from LJ. That was the tipping point. LJ shouting out in anguish, „Continue!” definitely sobered BJ up. Mentioning „the promise” was the endgame but altered nothing, as the decision had been already made.
EP.5 The morning after. One of my favoutite scenes (all of them are exquisitely bad). Chopin's Nocturne in E flat major Op. 9 No. 2 is still stirring my mind. Need to put it down.
Before that, though, (ahhhh! barechested BJ. Then the camera zooms in & out showing his back and a charming mole on the left scapula! Bring me back from a state of deep unconsciousness – his Adonis-index shoulders! Their image has still been parading in front of my eyes!) I'm far away from OK – a severe case of couch tachycardia – but let's carry on.
BJ immersed in playing that bittersweet intimate nocturne evoking poignant tenderness & nostalgia – gentleness in each silky touch is incomparable to the ferocious beast from that gruesome night assault. LJ is completely at a loss. Having fallen asleep in a nightmarish atmosphere, he is being woken up to BJ playing a romantic, dreamy piece featuring two interwoven voices (the two hands, two lovers). The left hand plays bass which feels like a slow heartbeat & produces an arpeggiated accompaniment whereas the right hand sings a transparent, delicate in texture and colour melody. The left hand represents BJ. The right hand – LJ. A stark contrast between what we see and what's really going on between those two. What do you say? Am I seeing things? Let it be. Don't try to drive the bats out of my belfry.
*Nocturne in E flat major Op. 9 No. 2 was acclaimed by critics " an exquisite, soul-searching masterpiece". It was composed by 21-year-old enamoured Chopin whose love was unattainable.
it is kind of simpler.BJ can't handle breakup. He has planned marriage. And, it is frustrating that he has no…
I don't perceive BJ as a a puppy dog. He's a dangerous person - he's a master manipulator with the stedfast inner guide of core principles. And as I've already mentioned below, he exhibits the Dark Triad traits.
EP. 5 Overwhelming People are wondering why BJ is so broody-moody. However appalling the answer can seem, yet it lies on the surface. - BJ feels being punished, because LJ appears to be detached, close-lipped and guarded against him - LJ denies him comfort & intimacy. - BJ feels that the tie established between them is being severed & it's beyond his power to fix it – super-capable Mr. Fixer is impotent & losing his grip.
After the assault BJ is trying to keep a tight rein on his shadow sides not to hurt LJ even more. Slowly, really snail-slowly, it dawns on him that using violence & manipulation to treat LJ will backfire. BJ needs LJ to open to him of his own volition, only then can the outcome be gratifying.
It's necessary to get back to the contract to fully understand what's going on between BJ &LJ.
For BJ – the contract is a statement of an inextinguishable bond between them, a form of guarantees that no matter what LJ will not abandon him & stay by his side. Believe it not, but BJ expects LJ to behave as if there were no outrage or physical assault, or interrupting in their relationship at all. It's BJ who infringes the contract apart from the only one clause, that is „Be mine, do not abandon me”.
For LJ – the contract is a bounding deal between a debtor & creditor. To LJ's misfortune, his creditor is a batty psycho who imposes fucking asinine requirements which, in short, come down to LJ being „a lover” deprived of any choice.
I don’t think he comes across as a narcissist. If anything, he seems like a fairly classic example of obsessive…
I do not advocate for BJ. He is a predator without sympathy or remorse. Yet the paradox lies in the fact that he does crave love.
BJ is not narcissist. He exhibits the Dark Triad traits: he's narcissistic, manipulative and psychopathic. Actually, he is more psycopathic than it can be expected.
It is necessary to understand that psychopath is not an actual medical diagnosis. Psychopaths fall under the diagnosis of (severe) antisocial personality disorder (ASPD).
You know, encountering a psychopath, you do not have to panic since most of them are not serial killers. In fact, psychopaths are quite common in the corporate world, & among them there is a significant percentage of successful people.
- Psychopaths have inflated sense of self-worth or superiority - thus much like narcissists - they think the usual laws and rules do not apply to them. They also tend to have grandiose ideas about their potential. They believe they deserve to be at the top of the food chain.
- Psychopaths have limited understanding of the difference between right & wrong. They tend to be very intelligent, so if they get engaged in illegal activity, their "misconduct" is well-organised: they thoroughly plan their crimes well in advance, & they leave few clues behind.
- They are master manipulaters: they flatter others in a subtle yet effective manner. Being extremly charming, they come across as delightful people who are great at making small talk, they skillfully employ insincere charm to hide or mask their true feelings or thoughts.
- There are 2 most frequently asked questions about people with ASPD, inter alia, psychopaths. ***The first one: „Do people with ASPD love their partners or children? The answer is: "Yes. Many people with ASPD crave love and connection. Nevertheless, it should be taken into consideration that they struggle to recognize or connect with emotions in yourself & those around them, which makes it hard for them to form meaningful relationships."
***Another question, "Do people with ASPD have any weak spots?" The answer is really astounding. "Yes. It is difficult for them to control their impulsive and thrill-seeking behavior. Low levels of anxiousness and lack of fear can cause them to get involved into risky actions resulting in dangerous outcomes, for instance, (multiple or severe) physical injuries."
Now, you can easily compare BJ's behavior with the points above.
His words „Don't be too emotional” and gluttonous picking up LJ's tears, caressing him with so much tenderness – look at BJ's eyes, at his tense facial muscles, at the curve of his lips.
His assault and incremental comprehension that LJ' reaction contradicts his craving being loved & accepted, - that's why BJ stopped.
His speeding along a night-time street, he miraculously escaped unscathed thanks to his mechanic – perfect brakes - & his enviable perception-reaction time .
His involvement into shooting in that hell-hole basement or wherever it occurred.
His involvement into the suspicious counselling venture.
Unforgiving. They won’t make the viewers feel ”comfortable”. And then a contract where the rules are already…
When it comes to the contract between LJ & BJ, what we witness is totally different from how BJ sees it.
The steps performed & words spoken are, as I've previously mentioned, only the entourage of mystery & power. But what's actually going on here? *** BJ: Fuck the contract! But we need the contract!
I feel safer with having it on my hands. It binds LJ to its terms. He is an obedient boy, so he will hold up his end of the deal.
Now LJ is mine. We are exclusive. He belongs to me. He won't abandon me. He won't escape. I'm suffocating without him – he's my life support.
Hope, LJ hasn't noticed how whipped I am & that obvious hard-on in my pants. *** I should admit that signing the contract and the morning after are two more of my favourite scenes.
I highly respect how protective of LJ you are. The people here often put LJ under a magnifying glass of their unscrupulous scrutiny calling him weak, spineless, gullible & hopelessly stupid or even a shrinking violet, which is profoundly wrong.
LJ acts from the heart, feels deeply, loves sincerely; his weakness is his humanity & kindness. Why cruelly to deprive him of the right for error?
The other thing is that kindness without boundaries is regarded as an open invitation for disrespect and taking advantage of. LJ is going to learn in a hard way how to refuse or demand, take a punch & fend off since he inadvertently attracts obnoxious psychos because of his purity and generousness of spirit.
It should be an incurable case of emotional or moral blindness if people don't see the lynchpin of steel under LJ's softness & gentleness .
Lil Jane is a walking Contradiction...Like one minute, he is begging for help, the next it's, poor meee, I'm powerless,…
It can be BJ's modus operandi, a kind of ritual or decorative tribute to demonology. Don't think he's serious about it. He undoubtedly takes perverse pleasure in exploiting personal vulnerabilities, offering shortcuts to fame, wealth or power, having crystal-clear understanding of the detrimental final effect.
The design of his visit card, image on his phone cover, phone number, place - a bustling club - where appointments are set up - all those things are meant to creat the entourage of mystery & power.
that Chopin’s Symphony No 9 , Tee was playing it actually himself right? as no way it was a recording. Because…
To be precise, that's Chopin's Nocturne in E flat major Op. 9 No. 2. The most interesting thing about it is that the left hand plays a rolling bass which feels like a slow heartbeat.
About BJ. BJ is a self-destructive hazard addict. He is posing a threat to normalcy, moral values and LJ's orderly (boring) life.
BJ won't be able to hit the brakes until „the big bang” shakes his 3-pea wooden rattle which he has instead of the brain so that he will suffer from an unspeakable woe and fear of losing LJ. I mean physical loss here when nothing else matters except for life.
Previously, BJ was so anxious of losing LJ that he found a way of getting him trapped into the contract – the only form of social interaction habitually convenient for him.
My iron skivvies! It's hilarious how BJ creeps the shit out of LJ demanding that bloody oath of loyalty and stupilating the contract conditions while being totally whipped.
LJ simply doesn't understand that it's him who has BJ in a chokehold.
After watching EP 5. I'm so relieved that the show has nothing to do with supernatural.
- BJ is a troubleshooter - the issue of the gang was handled the only right way. On the other side, he's a kind of magnet for trouble because of the path he chose to follow.
What gives me a second thought, despite being enraged & violent, BJ didn't rape LJ. He was on the verge... he stopped, though.
- Jet got off scot-free. What's worse, he's coming to realisation that there's someone who can cover for him & get his ass out of a jam. No punishment, lesson hasn't been learnt.
- LJ met my expectations. Recovering after the inititial shock, he's making demands of BJ, being in no position to make any. Now that he's bound by the contract, he's suddenly starting asking the questions that should've been asked much earlier. Is LJ going to hold up his end of the deal when he's fully grasped what kind of intricate game he got involved in?
- Put's fuming. Publicly. Ugly. Hysterically. His attempt to reconcile with LJ is awkward. Put feeling LJ's hand gave me chills up my spine. A bad touch.
- The farewell scene between LJ & Dan is supposed to be heart-wrenching, but there was something wrong about it which left unpleasant sensation of void.
The questions are piling whereas no answers have been given for now.
