I like that they were able to condense this down to fifteen episodes, from the forty eight from the original. It helps that they decided not to tell every character's stories though. If I remember the original correctly, the two biggest storylines were PhunNoh, and Jeed's journey into becoming her school's mean girl, with a bunch of side stories thrown in. Even though I'm left wondering how the Jeed of this version became like she was, I'm glad that they were able to trim down so much.
I can except the ending if they really never escaped the house. I'm still upset that Phee would still choose to be with Jin though. I understand that in Phee's mind, Non cheated. However, if you're saying you want justice for someone, you don't then turn around and date one of that person's biggest tormentors. Up until the point where Tee handed Non over to the gangsters, Jin was the one that violated Non the worst by leaking that child porn sex tape of him.
I'm also sad that White had to die. He was the only true innocent at that house during the present day events.
I could swear I made a comment like this a couple days ago, but I can't find it anywhere, so I'm gonna make it again. I do understand New questioning if Phee ever really loved Non. Phee allowing himself to fall for one of Non's tormentors makes a fair point for New. Honestly, it's making me think that Phee might even protect Jin from any legal repercussions for releasing that sex tape. I'll make a comparison from Western pop culture to this situation. Any one who is American in this comment section might know this. It's from the show Glee. It's from the sixth season, when Kurt broke up with Blaine again, and Blaine begins to date Kurt's former high school bully Dave a little while later. People were absolutely appalled that Blaine could even bring himself to date Dave, after everything he put Kurt through, with Kurt even having to transfer schools because of how much Dave terrorized him.
I feel bad for Net. His acting career is built on NetJames. I'm not just saying that, comments on here, X, Instagram, everywhere people could possibly comment on this situation, are showing Net that his career is dependent on James. People refusing to watch or saying they should just recast both roles, or just cancel the show all together, just because James isn't gonna be in it anymore.
It is exhausting, because it has to keep being repeated. People keep saying that "oh Non approached him", "Non…
There was a perfect example you should have given in your comment though. That TikToker/teacher Luke Rockwell who got arrested in Thailand last year for having sex with a sixteen year old girl.
This is exhausting, I know! - For all of you still dilly dally about the appalling behaviour of the teacher, this…
It is exhausting, because it has to keep being repeated. People keep saying that "oh Non approached him", "Non wanted it", "Non didn't look too distressed", "Non was really enjoying it". It was on the teacher to say no, even if Non approached him. It was on the teacher to turn him down. Instead, the teacher just goes for it.
My issue isn't with Phee moving on from Non. My issue is that he chose to let himself fall in love with one of Non's tormentors, after talking about wanting justice for Non. Even after Jin admitted to releasing the sex video, Phee is still on his side. Also, what Jin did was illegal in Thailand, and pretty much most places in the world. Yes, the age of consent in Thailand is relatively low (fifteen), but you still have to be eighteen to be filmed having sex. So when Jin filmed that, he broke child porn laws. Having that on his phone alone could have put him in jail for like seven years. Then by releasing it online, he distributed child porn. Actually, I remember reading that making porn at all in Thailand was illegal.
I feel really bad for the actors involved with this project. All that hard work they did, only for the last episode to be held hostage just because of a poorly planned out fan meet. I especially feel bad for Time and Tor, because this is both of their very first acting roles.
I keep thinking of twists that could come. Like what if the killer following the group in the woods, is a hired mercenary? Like in that movie You're Next. Basically in the movie, a family comes together for a family reunion only to be killed off by a group of masked killers. Only towards the end, the killers are revealed to be hired mercenaries, hired by two of the sons.
Or another possible twist, what if this is all part of a film they're making. Like all the dead characters are gonna be revealed to be actors, who are still alive. There's a movie I'll give as an example of what that could look like, if that makes sense. Return to Horror High. As you watch the movie, you see the characters being killed off, only at the end to be revealed to be actors filming a movie at the high school, and they all get up to congratulate each other on a job well done, and leave.
The way people stick up for Jin and want his happy ending, actually reminds me of another show I watched and it's audience. Any fellow commenters from America will understand the show I'm talking about. Scream Queens. The way people were obsessed with the bullies, and tried to emulate them. I mean people were rooting so hard for Chanel Oberlin and cheering her mean girl behavior on, even when she was physically harming other people, like shoving someone's head in a deep fryer (granted it was supposed to be shut off, but to have the idea of shoving someone's head in a deep fryer says something about you anyways), or shoving someone down the stairs just because she slept with her boyfriend.
I'm also sad that White had to die. He was the only true innocent at that house during the present day events.
