What’s sad is that we tend to judge and pile on, without facts. It hurts that he could not envision daylight…
Well said. I agree.
I was more worried about Yoo Ah In when he was still free and the "scandal" was ongoing, because I have no idea what kind of personal, emotional support he has and I fretted that he would take his own life.
I continue to be concerned for his mental health and life but presumably (and it being Korea, I'm assuming a lot here) he is under close watch while in jail. I can't bring myself to write "prison" because the fact he's there is just so wrong. Supposedly, he is undergoing drug treatment as he serves his absurd sentence.
Yes, most Korean celebs are cowards who hide in the corners when their peers are under attack. But then when it's their turn...
This flick gets better with every watch. Needs SOME background/character development on Murai. I know nothing about his past...because the film tells me nothing. Did he suddenly appear one day out of nowhere?
Ending is, once again, a cop-out. I'd love to see a Korean remake of this.
I spent half my time reading your comment while thinking "what the hell is this guy talking about? lol
NO ONE could pick up all thaton one watch and without a LOT of pre-watch research. Are you claiming to have understood all you include in your comment in ONE watch with no prior knowledge of the plot and its background?
Using the term "...unable to understand..." as though 99% of viewers, who will NOT understand this film on first watch are intellectually disabled, is unnecessarily insulting.
Perhaps people, myself included (I adore this film and will rewatch it multiple times) were "unable to understand it" because it was not written, plotted, edited, or directed well enough to convey its extremely complicated story. By movie's end, I had concluded that the director does not CARE if his audience understands his story; he's getting off on the look and vibe of the film. It's a typical directorial form of masturbation. "My film is so awesome I don't give a fuck if anyone gets it."
I've read a shit-ton of reviews of TTOH and no one claims to understand this film The director and writers are perhaps deliberately sloppy.
I will ask one question that I think even you did not answer above: Who is Yao Hua's mom?
"Content warning: Vomiting" lol You are a piece of work. Content warning: Sneezing Content warning: Taking a dump (off-camera) Content warning: Stubs toe Content warning: Coughing Content warning: Living life
If you were "put off" by an age difference you inferred, why did you watch the show? I've always thought you're the type who seeks to be offended. Aren't you going to go nuts over the dreaded "age gap?"
This was quite a bit better than most stories of this type, though it had weak spots.
High schools don't leave their rooftop doors unlocked because you know why. Pretending they do so allows for melodramatic confrontations between antagonists, but it's been done a 1,000 times. I would like to know a little about how/why the FL changed her ways from before her transfer. Was Li Chia drugged? I didn't buy the FL's co-conspirators' sudden refusal to follow through with posting the vid. The almost-romance was a waste of time.
On the other hand, all the acting was good. I've become a big Edison Song fan; Hsia Teng Hung too. Both were excellent in the 2023 film "The Time of Huannan," which I watched last night and highly recommend. FL Wang Yu Ping is in TTOH also.
Emotionally wrecking. I have never before wept so frequently during a film without knowing why the hell I was crying. I think it is the intense chemistry between and among the four principal characters, to the extent that though what they were doing and how they got there was a mess, the angst was overwhelming.
The plot is somewhat of a mess, and many of the characters' behaviors/actions don't make a lot of sense given their circumstances. The penultimate scene on the beach and in the water was incoherent. Worst of all, the time-travel element is sloppily rendered. It makes no sense either. It's kind of a toss-off.
And yet, despite all this, I am rating this 9/10 because of the film's beauty and all the random feels the actors conveyed.
All three male leads are just as talented as they are pretty. The FL is a very good actor, but why did her character not age? wtf?
Hey, hate-watching's a thing, a source of genuine pleasure, and, in my case, a fertile ground to harvest a good…
Oh, I thoroughly get "hate-watching," but for me a show has to be SO bad it's good, and these repetitive Thai turds somehow manage to be only blandly bad and thus, of no enjoyment to me.
NO ONE is stopping your enjoyment of this shitty series. NO ONE has made any attempt to do such a thing.
Your delusion that one negative comment among thousands of "ass-licking" ones (as Mimi so colorfully put it) somehow impedes your enjoyment of the show is a common one among MDL members who enjoy crappy BLs.
Seriously...if you're willing to watch this dreck, you are willing to watch anything. Thailand continues to make a mockery of gay relationships, sex, love, and storytelling. This is another standards-free Turd Out of Thailand, flushed down the Thai BL Assembly Line Toilet at the rate of five or six a week.
The Chao Phraya River flowing out of Bangkok is now so clogged with these rancid BL stools that it is beginning to overflow its banks. Perhaps the stench and resultant flooding will move the Thai government to take action against bad BL-making once and for all.
Plot hole: In the real world, after ONE night time murder of a woman in the rain, all women and everyone else…
Omg you are literally the dumbest kind of person to watch a movie with I am so glad I am not your friend. You have not an ounce of intelligence and thus no disbelief to suspend. Clearly, you'll lap up whatever stupidity is placed before you in a film.
The murders WITHIN THE FILM take place within a short period of time, you dolt. The public, EVERYBODY in the film's location IN the film, knew all about the murders happening. They did not need to rely on kind and caring police officers to tell them THEY ALREADY KNEW. it was all over the news. Which is why the cops were in a rush to pin the crimes on someone/anyone. It does not matter what time frame occurred IRL. What matters is what happened in the universe of the film.
As a result. the public's lack of concern about being out and about, traipsing through the countryside, care-free at all hours of the night, with a killer on the loose, makes no sense. You're simple-minded enough to accept that. I'm not.
Furthermore, LOTS of films cover events that take place over long periods of time within their universe, sometimes decades or more. They do so simply by letting the audience know, through various plot devices, or even simple methods like a giant screen card saying "TEN YEARS LATER..."
Has it been your belief to this point in your life that all events presented in all movies take place within the 90 to 120-minutes allowed by the film's running time? lol

Horrendous. And of course, wildly overrated.
