Soooo.... GreatSatangBright?? ¯\_(•w•)_/¯
Or maybe GMM is not gonna have as many fixed ships anymore and let actors pair up/collab however they want. But also I'd ship a throuple for real though.

For real! I've been hella confused with where people's minds are going with this one. Like, do they think this show is going to have smut?? These people are absolutely delulu and the fact that they're even thinking that a show that centers around mental trauma and children would have sexual content says a lot more about them and their thoughts.

Okay, but Jamie answering the prof's question correctly? I was cackling during that entire scene! XD
The writing on this series is so good! I'm so excited for next week's episode.

There's only a pilot trailer rn. That was made last year, before even the script was written. It's just a concept video to give fans and investors an idea about what the show is going to be about and who the cast is going to be. Pilot trailers can turn out wildly different than the final product. Ie for Jack&Joker the pilot trailer was a 10min clip of the gang robbing a casino, in the actual series they never even looked at a casino. In the Dare You To Death pilot trailer JoongDunk had more of an enemies to lovers plot, but the series actually just has them being in love from the get go.
They're only just wrapping up filming for LYT now, they'll put out an official trailer hopefully in the coming weeks and that'll give us a better idea of what the show is going to look like.

I hope GMM has PerthSanta in reaction videos. This seems to be an ongoing trend with all their recent series so finger's crossed LYT gets reaction videos from them as well. I need all the PerthSanta content. <3

Q=queue and it means a day of filming. On average a series has ~30 Qs. This series is on Q26 which means it's almost done bing filmed.

No, I've been thinking the same. I was kinda hoping that they might make this series DunkJoong since that seemed to be the energy they were giving, but I guess not lol.
Guess PoohPavel are still flying solo with their masc bottom dynamic.

Agreed, for Dare You to Death it feels like I'm watching two different shows. The murder mystery and the romance scenes are so disjointed. Like we get scenes of these brutal murders and then it cuts to JoongDunk flirting with their ost blasting in the background. While I love JoongDunk (and that ost) it doesn't match the tone they've set for the show.
And the murder mystery and the romance are happening at completely different speeds. The feelings should be developing along with the case, but instead their relationship is happening at hyper speed and the murder mystery is moving at a snail's pace.
In the reaction video even Joong seemed surprised about how fast the romance was happening.
Idk what it is with GMMTV series that the writers and editors don't seem to know how to balance romance with any other genre. Anytime action, mystery, or fantasy elements are thrown in the whole series winds up falling short.

Honestly, it's hard to say. The story is confusing and has some really weird moments, but also I think the idea is that story is supposed to feel like a fever dream. It really goes all over the place and the pacing for the romance is really fast. Won't really know if watching the series is worth it until the finale. If they manage to stick the ending then this might wind up being one of the best murder mystery shows, but if the ending flops this will be one of the worst shows ever.
At the very least it's free to watch on gmmtv's youtube channel, there's A+ acting all around, the music soundtrack is nice to listen, and ForceBook offers a lot of fan service so I wouldn't call it a complete waste even if the plot is really weird.

Yes, my mind went to Guardian as well lmao. But the live action of that is cursed fr. I still can't believe they changed the genre from fantasy to sci-fi, and the ending of that series... It's better not to speak of it.

A true fantasy bl, I'm so hyped.
I really hope this turns out well and Change puts in the work/money to make the special effects and props look amazing. I'm also real curious to see who else will be casted for this. And hopefully a proper pilot trailer drops sometime soon, a four minute clip was definitely not enough!

As frustrating as this episode was though can we take a minute to appreciate the music? That instrumental cover of Pray had me absolutely swooning. It was so pretty and it set the mood so perfectly for ThupSing's scene. The writers/director may have failed us on this episode, but the sound team aced it for real.

There was one singular brain cell in this episode and it was being passed around between the characters:
King had it for a minute when he thought to turn his watch on.
Sing took it from there thinking to track the watch.
Sey borrowed it to take Darin to a temple that isn't run by psycho killers.
Unfortunately from here the braincell got confused and split in half.
Mek with the .5 braincell thought to go to the restroom with Darin, but then didn't follow through.
Sing had the other .5 braincell when he thought to pull his gun and shoot the van, but then he missed *every single shot.*
After that the braincell pulled itself back together and went to Thup's mom, but then of course no one listens to the dead woman.

If anyone's interested to know: you can go back and watch episode one, it shows who the killers are. When Thup describes the dream he had that led him to the tree it shows both of them doing the ritual.
I don't know who was in charge of writing the script for the first couple of episodes, but they deserve a raise. There are so many easter eggs and foreshadows leading up to the current story, it's actually insane how much effort went into it. There's even a moment, when King is first introduced and talking to Sing, the camera pans down to King's watch for few seconds. Small details like that are only for the benefit of people rewatching, something I massively appreciate and respect.

Whoever wrote the script for this episode though.... -_- They seriously need demoted. This is one of the few times where the book did it better than the show. I was looking forward to the absolute chaos of the ghost f*ckery, but we got none of it. Chaba held a door close. Wow. The writers could've and should've done so much more.

So I guess we're not getting the side stories. T-T
Ep. 13 next week and they still haven't stopped the ritual. They might have time to squeeze in Thup's birthday or the storm drain story, but damn, I really wanted the auction story, that one was so cute and funny.

I think Thursday was just a rando. Honestly no point in asking novel readers for spoilers like that anyway, the show is a lot different than the book.

I think I'd rate it around a 5. I don't scare easily though. Whenever the ghosts appear on the screen instead of covering my eyes I'm just in awe over how much effort went into makeup and wardrobe lol.
You can just watch the trailer for the show. If the trailer freaks you out then the show might be too scary for you.

They're so close to being done~
I'm hyped. It'd be cool if this got a Valentine's release. I know that's too soon, but I'll still hope and dream lol.

Takara's Treasure - Jp bl, it's only got a couple hours worth of content, but it's cute.
My School President - A GeminiFourth series with lots of singing.
Jack&Joker - This one has some action/violence, but also YinWar's characters adopt a child and their domestic life is absolutely adorable.
Caged Again - Really off the wall, has a lot of funny and cute moments though.
Your Sky - Literally just ThomasKong being awkward together.
He's Coming to Me - Ghosty shenanigans with a decent mystery plot.
We Are - Similar to P10L, but with less comedy sound effects.

There's plenty of romance, but the scenes are all fluffy--hugs, cuddles, kisses, etc--not spicy. So far the show is sfw. But there are 13 episodes so maybe the last ep will be some of the spicy side stories. Won't know until it airs tbh.
