To me this is full of filler and I watch this double speed and still have to fast forward. I actually want to…
Filler?? This is an actual proper story, not some by-the-numbers fluff that just goes from one love scene to another or whatever, lol. And believe me, I've read and watched tons of media over the course of my life, and the pacing in this show is absolutely magnificent - if you're paying attention, you'll see that not a single second of any episode is wasted.
Also, as for not dropping stuff, I actually used to have the 'must finish what I start' compulsion about media, too, but finally realized after a number of years that my time, emotional investment, and enjoyment of a work is worth more to me than trying to force myself to finish something I'm really not into. So, I would kindly suggest that you please do both yourself and others a favor and find something else to watch that you will actually enjoy, instead of trying to force yourself through something that you don't. It will feel much better. :)
Yep, Meb has an English translation of this - it's under "Khemjira's Rescue," and there is the main novel, plus a second volume that includes some special chapters. (There's also a lot of untranslated Thai books on there, too, though, so just make sure the title of the book includes the words "English Version" somewhere in it to make sure it's the translated one. :) )
my issue is that you all characterize china this way and say "evil regimes" as if you also don't live…
Not sure what you're rambling on about or why you decided to post this rant under my comment (as most of it doesn't even relate to what I originally said), but as I see you've been doing the same under other comments, too, I hope you enjoy your consequent block. 👋
And now, predictably, the typical cadre of CCP defenders are showing up to argue below... 🤦♂️
Look, 'comrades,' the people commenting about this aren't "anti-China," this is literally a Chinese actor we're mourning! But to just blindly accept the CCP's statements (which have been proven to be cover-ups and blatant, provable lies countless times before) when innumerable Chinese citizens themselves are raising red flags and releasing extremely disturbing evidence to the contrary about this situation despite harsh consequences against them, and people in the same building as this actor's death were first given hush money and are now fleeing for their lives in fear, just makes you look plain stupid. And defending evil acts by evil regimes against their own citizens (which, again, even regardless of this specific situation, the CCP government has been proven to have done) will not get you any good reward in the end.
As I mentioned below: My heart breaks for what this poor man went through (both in his career and in his horrific final moments), as well as for his remaining family. While there's unfortunately practically no hope for justice for him or his family while the CCP still reigns, I truly hope his soul is now at least at peace.
Yeah, right... Look, even if this whole situation didn't suspiciously stink to high heaven (which it very clearly does), we should all know full well by now that if the CCP says something supposedly 'didn't happen' and then severely cracks down on any evidence to the contrary, it absolutely DID happen, and (as usual) they're just burying it by hook, crook, propaganda, and outright force.
I've read detailed articles about this whole situation and it's extremely disturbing, to put it mildly. My heart breaks for what this poor man went through (both in his career and in his horrific final moments), as well as for his remaining family. While there's unfortunately practically no hope for justice for him or his family while the CCP still reigns, I truly hope his soul is now at least at peace.
Note that this is just a short, cut version on YouTube of the BTS/making-of videos, the full 20-ish minute versions of which can be found as "Special Clip" on Khemjira's iQIYI series page.
How 'horror' is this? Cuz im a huuuuuge scaredy cat
Honestly most of the more traditionally scary-type stuff is packed into the first episode; if you can manage to get past that ep. 😅, it actually does get way less scary. (I mean, don't get me wrong, there are obviously still scary/life-threatening/etc. bits in all the other ep.'s afterwards, lol, but it's just that from ep. 2 onwards it's definitely not constant; a lot of the runtime of the show actually starts to just be more like character work and intriguing backstory/history stuff.) And as for the ghosts themselves, most of them look obviously not-alive, but it's not gross (well, again, aside from ep. 1, lol; they are a little bit more gross there 😅), it's more just like people who are really pale with visibly dark veins lol. Obviously, you are the only one who can decide how much you can handle 😅, but again, the very first ep. is the scariest one by far, so if you can make it through that, you're totally good for ep.'s 2-4.
LOL at some of the comments here saying that the romance 'came out of nowhere'... seriously? I mean, I really don't like love triangles 😅, so I'm not defending that part of it (though it really kinda ended up more just like a mixed-gender harem around the ML than any sort of triangle anyway, LOL...), but if you've read like literally any shoujo manga ever, you would not only have already assumed that this show would have a romance between the FL and ML right from that duet scene that opens episode 1, but you ALSO would have clocked Sakamoto's tsundere backside IMMEDIATELY (I mean, come on, it was clear that he was a tsundere by episode 2 already, and his crush on the FL was glaringly obvious by episode 3, LOL)...

This show is simply a masterpiece, man...
