I think Dome was yoinked from his universe to serve as a replacement body for Chan. Or maybe his species (? I don't know what else to call it haha) has always been able to bop freely between universes - or maybe, ooh, they're supposed to be observers and not interfere - hence why The One knew Khatha even though Khatha had clearly never met him before - only they keep failing at that.

It's so late in the game to be throwing all these ideas at the wall. My money is on The One being a bigger meddler than we have been led to believe thus far, though.

On the bright side at least the comments aren't entirely like that. I'm happy most people seem to be having fun with this show - some of the stuff I've liked I don't even visit the pages for here because it's wall to wall complaining. I don't hate watch so it just doesn't compute for me, lol.

And to be fair some of the criticism is on point - I don't see the need to take swipes at people who do like it for whatever reason, but I'm also not gonna argue that the show couldn't be tighter.

I'm not harping, dude. I just don't see why you're sticking with this when you don't seem to like it much? Or at least look down on those of us who do.

It kind of feels like you want to have your "criticism", but if anyone disagrees with you, they're harping, or attacking, etc. And so far no one here has done that to anyone else. It's actually all extremely polite.

Preview makes it looks like The One will be back next ep, still wearing Nanon. Also I've said before (although maybe not here, lol) that The One totally strikes me as a dude who would like to set himself up as a god.

If Dome is the real Jesus figure then he's definitely biting it next ep. But I think that was supposed to be Chan, with Khatha as an inadvertent Judas. Only unlike Jesus, Chan doesn't seem to be in a forgiving sort of mood...

I mean I love trash, some of my favorite shows are trashy, but yeah I don't think I'll ever trust anyone who holds themselves up as the arbiter of good storytelling. Some types of stories work better for some people than others.

This is a little messy, but in a way I kind of like *shrug* It's not for everyone, but honestly I've never seen the point in sticking around for things I don't like, or just *having* to tell everyone how much their taste sucks. That's not me. If I didn't like the show I just...would not be here. There are so many other things to watch out there.

Hm. I kind of hated Alice in Borderland. Bored me so badly I turned it off. Sweet Home was okay, Squid Game was better - easily my favorite of the ones you mentioned. I also quite liked All of Us Are Dead and The Glory, but I imagine you'd take issue with the romance, yes? I find that a lot of the Netflix Kdramas feel like they go off the rails at some point, though*.

*Cleary this is an opinion, not objective fact. Also Netflix is where I get them, not necessarily where everyone does. :D

I know I usually tend to avoid MDL because a lot of people here are never happy with anything, seems like...I liked this page because for once people seemed to be having fun .

Why was this episode so fun? Am I just weird?

(maybe, but if so I don't care it was almost entirely a blast)

Anyone know if there are any updates on this? I keep checking back because it looks like something I'd be into but no dice.

Hi, you can find the raw here: https://www.viu.com/ott/th/en/vod/2097345/Make-A-Wish-%E0%B8%A0%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A2%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%B2

but you will need a VPN set to Thailand.

Didn't the ep literally just come out this morning?

So putting the number of episodes left aside...

I thought that this was a great episode. I don't know if I like it more than I liked episode 6 - episode 6 really worked for me, - but I liked it about as much for sure. I thought that Tum and Phone's story was so tragic - Tum holding back and then spending all those years desperately trying to regain the thing he'd lost. And Khatha's life mirrored it two ways - both with Chan and with Dome. And I love the way that that reflection tied back into what The One told Khatha last ep - stop reaching backwards when there's something to hold onto right in front of you.

I still think that The One is here to mess things up in some way - he strikes me as a bit of a chaos demon, and I'm so glad that he was in the preview for next week. I like him and it's very obvious he's a fun character to play.

More and more I think that we're going to see some sort of history repeating itself thing - don't think I missed that Dome gets a cut on his cheek right where Chan did.

I'm also amused that Khatha can't seem to get that he has the relationship with Dome that he was so desperate to preserve with Chan, and I agree he's probably going to have to choose. At least that's kinda what I hope - I don't want Dome to be Chan at all.

Last but not least, how adorable was Dome's imaginary!Khatha? He was so friendly and helpful. I can't help wondering if that's how Dome perceives the real Khatha or if that's more how he wishes they were. Although it was also pretty funny how the second he laid eyes on real!Khatha he was like "well buddy gotta run, things to do."

I'm looking forward to next week. If it's the end end I don't necessarily need everything explained. But I do need emotional resonance. Half of me is terrified it'll end on some twist that annoys me more than anything else, haha. But that's a risk with any show, really, regardless of length, so I'm actually going into this finale week the same way I would any other.

Hopefully it'll stick the landing.

Nanonquin wasn't part of what was stolen, though. He ran out separately.

I actually think that they got most of it - the other stuff was never the point, anyway. It was always only about getting at charred mummy dude (Chan? I'm definitely going with Chan). I guess if someone wanted to be really meticulous about it they could see if they can figure out what was stolen by comparing the room before the robbery and then after.

Thank you so much for this!

Thank you for the information! That makes sense.

My fervent wish is that they are gonna give us more, mostly because I'm entirely not ready to let go, but I also don't want to wait several months or a year for more either! I am impatient.

That said, I hope that they conclude it well in ten episodes if there is no plan to expand because this has become my favorite show currently airing and and ending can make or break it for me.

Ha, no I didn't even know this existed until the second week. But that's interesting info. Thank you!

As for a second season, I plan to just go into the last two eps as though it's the end, because then if it does turn out to have an s2, I'll be happily surprised, but if it doesn't, I won't retroactively resent it for not giving me something that I was never promised in the first place.

Did they "cut" anything though? Isn't MDL like wiki in that fans edit it, which stands to reason that it was always 10 eps and people just decided it wasn't.

I can't find anything that officially states it was ever supposed to be 15 eps. If there is something, that does say so then apologies, of course.

Anyway I have half convinced myself that there's gonna be a second season. 😁 Guess we'll find out next week for sure. Either way this has been such a fun show as well as some of the most fun I've ever had on MDL and I'll be sad to see it go.

Cursed thought: what if Dome really is the final act of Chan's curse? Someone who looks exactly like Chan but who puts Khatha first, the way he wanted...and then maybe Chan hijacks him the way One did (and the way Dome hijacked OG!Dome) and takes it all away.

Or maybe it was Chan all along and he's set to explode like a bomb the moment that Khatha finally gives up and lets Dome all the way in.

Part of me wonders if all the people who got bathed in the glowy purple light were "blessed" with an immortal life. But the cult guys are still culting and Khatha is fulfilling Chan's curse by being unable to forgive himself/waiting for Chan to return and finish him off for good.

This is just me slinging ideas at the wall.

Honestly they should just let Gun play three to five characters in everything - he did such a good job here, you could distinctly tell One, Dome, and Chan apart despite their faces (and laughing forever at their creator apparently liking that mold. Me, too, friend. Me too). It was obvious he was having a blast, too.

One is clearly evil and here to start some shit, but I like him. I hope that that's not the last we see of him.
