Majority of the 2025 lineup do not take place in a school or university. This is literally one of the exceptions this time around. Just wait around for the other ones. Also, one of the reasons why a lot of BLs take place in those settings is because that is the most relatable to everyone on a mainstream level. It's the same with Japanese series in general as well (using that as an example because it is what I'm the most familiar with.)
This series makes no sense from a historical standpoint, and that doesn’t help.
I hate to say it, but quantity > quality is pretty much to be expected from a GMMTV series. Of course they CAN make quality stuff as well, but that is unfortunately not the case—especially when it comes to BL series.
Also the trope of someone faking their disability or condition or what have you, is so tired.
I mean, it's not like I needed your permission in the first place, but thank you? A bit confused about why you left such a passive aggressive-feeling comment in the first place. I'm sorry I didn't like them pulling a similar twist twice?

Not what I'm disappointed by. I'm disappointed by how it was executed. She really was an epileptic for the plot and so she would have plausible deniability. Please. Like I said, my previous points still stand.
Man, I'm so tired of the the-culprit-is-actually-the-disabled-person-that-no-one-suspected-on-the-grounds-that-they're-disabled trope. I spent most of the time hoping they'd make her incredibly suspicious and then the culprit would actually turn out to be someone else, but alas, that is not what happened—because at the end of the day she's still a murderer.
Edit: I'm not saying that you can't make a disabled person the culprit, by the way, but it has to be really well executed and not... whatever this was.
I assume it's only two until it's caught up on Gaga, then it's one episode per week.
Yes, it is now almost caught up with the Japanese release, so I suspect it will be one episode per week from now on. Or it will start after next week since episode 6 is supposed to air next week in Japan.
The way they emphasized her getting cured FROM DID when it's literally there to protect her from the trauma she experienced. It actually pissed me off. Hell yes, let's villify the coping mechanism! That is clearly the bad thing in this situation! /s
I'm sorry, I had to give up at the very last part of the finale. The amount of misinformation when DID is already…
I'm genuinely sorry for being so negative when it comes to this series, but it is incredibly upsetting to me that it's 2025 and we're still making stories like this about very real and highly stigmatized conditions and spreading misinformation about it and trivializing and romanticizing it. I do not care that it's a fictional story and that it's "not supposed to be that serious," we as the audience should still ask for more accurate and respectful portrayals and raise awareness about how certain conditions actually work. I absolutely despise how they made her diagnosis into the bad thing, when she got alters in the first place to protect her from trauma. The entire time, it never felt like she wanted to get healed from the trauma; she wanted to get healed from the DID, and she even wanted Sun to be the one to heal her. That is not even remotely how that works, and the last two episodes in particular were so incredibly tone deaf, I don't even know why it was made in the first place. The betting on who the "final version" would be? Are you serious?!
As a final addendum, I just want to clarify my issues lie entirely with the writing, and I have nothing against the actors.
I'm sorry, I had to give up at the very last part of the finale. The amount of misinformation when DID is already so stigmatized, just really didn't sit well with me—especially when coupled with the amount of romanticizing and trivializing of DID that has been present throughout the entire series.
