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.

This is not from 2025 line up. This was announced in 2025 that the show was green lit. The script was written and the show is being filmed in 2025. It will air in 2026.
The shows announced for 2026 means they will be filmed in 2026 and will air in 2027 or later.

Keep in mind that teasers and pilot trailers are filmed completely independent of the show and are often made before even a script is written. I know in most places a trailer is clips taken from the series and edited together, but that's not how it is in Thailand.

I enjoy Pooh's acting. As barbra pointed out below, his character is supposed to be emotionally restrained. In the book Thup's entire character is just scared puppy. Pooh did a good job conveying that in the first couple of episodes. The more into the series we get though the more he opens up and becomes more confident. The screenwriters did a really good job adapting the character from the book and exploring his emotional growth as the story progresses.
Imo Pooh probably has the hardest character to portray, half the time when he's pretending to be scared there's nothing but a camera in his face. The lady playing the scary ghost, who's supposed to be attacking him, won't even actually be on set. To me his fear and pain feels genuine despite the fact that he's responding to literally nothing. If that's not good acting then I don't know what is.

(Also, I know it's already been said, but that hansel person is 100% just a troll. They've been inciting arguments week after week. Take everything they say with a tablespoon of salt.)

@Yumi
It's really good! The pacing/plot is very well done, the acting is very good, and the sfx/ghosts are amazingly well done. The show is genuinely creepy and gruesome on the horror side of it, but the romance is very sweet and playful and they balance these two genres very well. It's not spicy or nsfw by any means, but PoohPavel have lots of chemistry.
The murder investigation aspect of the show is also well written, if you haven't read the book you'll be surprised by all the plot twists. This isn't a case where you can guess the murderer in the first couple of episodes, you learn along with the characters as they find clues.
The amount of research that went into the religious/supernatural aspects of the show is seriously herculean level too. They have a side series on youtube where shamans and professors they hired go into depth about the religious history/culture that we see in the show. If there's anything in the show regarding deities or superstitious customs that confuse you the side series will go into depth and explain it. It's super interesting to watch and learn from.
I think the only downside is the number of product placement ads they insert into the show. They'll do one or two per episode which is kind of a lot, but also it's paying for all the amazing special effects and ghosts so it's hard to complain about them. They can be a bit distracting though despite the screenwriters best efforts to make the product placements seem natural.
Overall, I definitely think it's worth a watch, I'd recommend it to anyone who isn't easily scared or turned off by gore.

During Jasp.er's livestream, after the Touch mv dropped, Santa mentioned that they were around halfway through with filming so around 25-30Qs.

Jfc was all of the Singapore drama just Ju teasing this? XD

I'm so hyped for next week. The novel barely described anything about the house/shaman that Thup is currently in. Getting to see it play out on screen is going to be so amazing. Just from the glimpse we saw already the ghost makeup looks beautifully gruesome.

Also, all the ThupSing flirting had me grinning like a loon this entire episode. The flower bracelet was so cute! <3

I can typically find episodes on Dailymotion or on MyAsianTv.

I know he's given more information about the religious stuff than he did in the novel, but one of the things that really stuck out to me was that in the book Thup, after overhearing the officers give a brief description of the seven victims is immediately able to discern their connection to the temple. Here it was a combination of Sing, Sey, and Darin over the course of multiple episodes they learn that all seven visited the temple. Thup was just sitting around, drawing a ghost lol.

@WellLetMeThink The book is definitely worth the read, it's very good, but honestly the show is shaping up to be much better. I actually prefer the way the characters are portrayed here and I like that the screenwriters overlapped the romance and murder mystery plot rather than the two pining after each other for the whole show.
Even though it does bug me that in the book Thup actually helped a lot more with the investigation, here he's basically just eye candy for Sing lmao.

@WellLetMeThink The show definitely won't include all of that lol. They've already changed a lot of things regarding their relationship in the show. Ie Thup being more confident and actively pursuing Sing and the two of them already becoming intimate. Everything described above happened in the last part of the book after the murder mystery had been solved.
I'm assuming (hoping) we're getting 13 eps though specifically for the spicy ending and some of the side stories.

Thup isn't a suspect though, he was proven innocent by Sing and remains as a witness to the crime, furthermore he was asked to become a consultant. Lmao, he should be getting paid to be there.
The only person treating Thup like a suspect is King, because he wants to use him as a scapegoat. The entire rest of the police force want him there to help with the ghosts and occult stuff.
