When I listened to the character's spoken names, I consistently heard "Ter" and "Tor". In episode 6, "Tor" was displayed on the phone screen. Should this be corrected on MDL?
Jimmy is Jimmy. A venomous snake is a venomous snake. Both can be compelled to inject poison into others, when and if they choose to bite. It's in their nature.
How does gaslighting work? "Normal" people do not have exaggerated reactions to reasonable conversation. When an abusive person *flips out* in response to a clarifying question or an expectation of social norms, a normal person begins to question themselves. "Am I being petty? Was I being rude?" Our brains register the response as BAD, so normal people try to self-correct.
Tor (Toh) has been gaslit to within an inch of his sanity. An unwitting victim is still a victim. Makes my heart hurt, watching him desperately try to self-correct and redeem himself for no reason at all.
Having the time of my life watching these episodes. Nothing makes sense. I can't remember who was eliminated. Double-CP flirting in filthy hallways. Let's do it again next week.
Unserious Ep6 observations:
1 - Boom Tharatorn bringing the heat in an action scene! Hold my hand while I hyperventilate.
2 - Oh. We're "eating" on the floor like Teh and Fah (Love Alert)? Sure, why not. It's only a knife wound, guys. Proceed.
3 - Jade forgot he had a brother? For an entire day and night? Writers, have you never owned a pet? You notice when living creatures in your home go missing.
4 - Murder? What murder? The only case getting investigated is 'who gets to unwrap Kamin's cookie'.
Just noticed, flower varieties painted during the title sequence changed every two episodes. EP 1 and 2 are the same. EP 3 and 4 are the same. So on and so on...
Mawin's honest feelings, rubbed raw from neglect and delivered through tears under the guise of an audition, were the croutons on my salad today. Beautiful and broken.
Mawin, come live with me. I can't paint for shit but I'll try it without AI if it heals your broken heart.
The Korean guy was HILARIOUS. In an unserious way, similar to the way Koreans would make fun of a character in a Korean drama.
Can we talk about that guy's table spread??? It was one of the funniest scenes in the show.
Never have I ever witnessed a Japanese Ramen bowl piled high with rice on a Korean table, or a bowl piled high with rice on a Japanese table for that matter. I choked on oxygen when I saw Seon Jae sipping seolleongtang (chicken bone broth soup) with Korean fried chicken LOL. Those two things are almost never eaten together.
For context, I speak survival Korean, I've been to South Korea (and Japan). I've eaten meals from restaurants, street carts, open markets and temples. The comedic nature of the character didn't feel mean, to me. It felt like a respectful nod to the Korean culture and Korean humor.
Ok, I get it now. This series is meant to be completely unserious. Yea, it's full of death but even the unalivings are comical.
Took 5 episodes but JoongDunk is finally hitting a lick. Comedy is their specialty. Had to pause the ep several times because I was laughing so hard. Like Jimin, when he told the members to stop making him laugh because he couldn't see through his eye smile (sigh... I miss them).
AouBoom is also in my Top 5 list of Thai CP's, so that was a lovely surprise!
Almost dropped this series after episode 3. Glad I stuck with it. This was the best week yet.
Jira... Do you need to feel valued? What better way to boost your ego than by triangulating two emotionally unavailable friends. It's not that difficult. Package yourself like a snack. Lie a little. Look the other way, Manipulate, betray. Play the victim. Blame the victim.
Koh... RUN. Angels are actually pretty destructive, papi. Stop thinking with your delicate, uh, flower.
Pheem... FOCUS. Mawin is dying of thirst. Please save him ... send pics.
1. P'Sorn, cover your eyes. 2. Picasso, cover your eyes. 3. Bro, is this too much lipstick for an interview? 4. That lipstick is an uncredited third lead. 5. Corn, Interrupted. 6. Tighty whities. 7. Not on the white couch. 8. In the end, it has a plot? Cute.
Off is majestic, he is so real in every scene, even more so when he has no lines.How can I admire him and dislike…
High-functioning geniuses figure out that most people are predictable, so it's easy to play their feelings against them. Some will adopt a villain code, like Koh. Because most people are also predatory and unaware of how they prey on others, like Pheem.
JoongDunk is a fan fave. So why is the production value of this series so low?
Writers... I can't remember the character names in this series because you forgot character development was a thing. I still call them Style and Fadel because those writers embedded those characters into our hearts forever.
Stylists... Why does everyone have Elvis hair? I can see the wig lines on their foreheads. It makes me yell at my TV.
Director... Wake up, bro. Were you lucid during filming? To be fair, I didn't expect THK without the Dream Team of Aof, Rath and Jojo. But the action in this series feels like it was generated by AI. No one acts that way. No one anywhere would sit perfectly still in a tub while being attacked. No one anywhere, in any genre.
Love them. Wanted more for them. Hope production improves in later episodes.
Saensee, come get your Dad.
What a delicious mess. 🍚🥢🔪
Why is Joong's bro so pretty? What tf is he feeding him?
Would a guy crush another man's junk? Nope, not even on a dare. I suspect the masked murderer is a woman.
Kamin's body was the only focus in that crime scene. No one cared about the corpse with an extra hole and no pants.
Jimmy is Jimmy. A venomous snake is a venomous snake. Both can be compelled to inject poison into others, when and if they choose to bite. It's in their nature.

7. Not on the white couch.
8. In the end, it has a plot? Cute.
Money stops working? Switch to admiration.
Admiration stops working? Switch to seduction.
Seduction stops working? Switch to invalidation.
Invalidation stops working? Switch to sympathy.
Sympathy stops working? Switch to flirting.
Pheem is only focused on controlling his own emotions. Results follow focus, my guy.
BUT SERIOUSLY.... Pheem needs to focus on that fine ass roommate. Every day. Sometimes twice a day. Flowers optional. I'll see myself out.
