I am so unbelievably happy. I don't know where i'd be without big brother and without RHAP. This season was so tough but I have so much joy being apart of the RHAP and BB community. WE LOVE YOU TAYLOR <3<3<3
Christian and Gabby sittin' on a beach...
BRENNER IS DEAD LETS PARTYYYYYY
Ughhh that whole past life thingy is breaking my heart :sob:
Probably my favorite episode so far! But I still kind of wish this entire drama was just the flashback scenes~
Why is the rating for this episode so low? It did quite a good job to explain the origin. What's more other storyline developed quite well.
they finally showed us how to communicate through lights!!!!! and also THAT FUCKING REVELATION THO I SERIOUSLY DID NOT SEE THAT ONE COMING!!!!!!! LASTLY, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO TEAM CALIFORNIA???????
Not cool that everyone is trying to get Nancy and Steve back together. When Jonathan isn’t around.
This doesn’t feel like Stranger Things it feels like a totally different show
Strong premiere, even without those psychos that place really looks like hell!
A pleasant surprise. The cinematography is not the typical korean drama, almost a movie style. Plot is interesting and definitely a couple of chill down your spine moments in this debut epi. Won’t mind watching on...
Yeah I don't care how cheap the rent was. Homeboy should have bounced.
"Do children have to be useful to their parents?" (NO.)
My God, I rarely cry during movies etc, even the heroes die etc. (I'm that heartless, haha). But this really got to me. This series is like a form of a therapy by itself.
There's so much wrong with this movie.. I felt so icky afterwards I wanted to take a shower and cleanse my mind with another viewing of Booksmart (2019), but it was already too late and I had to go to sleep.
A couple of thoughts:
- I actually liked the beginning, because I thought this was going to be some sort of stalker story (which it kind of is, I guess) and I wanted to figure out Charlotte's (Allison Williams) motive - jealousy seemed to be too simple.
- Lizzie (Logan Browning) basically "traded" one abuser for another? Anton (Steven Weber) gains her trust, manipulates her mind, then violates her body and calls it a gift, because that's the only way to reach "The Perfection". Charlotte gains her trust, manipulates her mind, then violates her body and calls it salvation, because that's the only way to see the truth - which we then should accept as female empowerment?
- On one hand (no pun intended, seriously) the writers and producers of this film seem to have lived in a bubble for the past couple of years when it comes to the #MeToo movement and such, because this is a rape revenge massacre at its most exploitative.
- On the other hand I wonder if they drew inspiration from some of the most prominent sexual abuse cases that have become public in recent years. The tattoo? Reminded me about this NXIVM sex-cult who branded their victims. The institutionalized sexual abuse of talented girls? Reminded me about those hundreds of female USA Gymnastics athletes, who were abused by their trusted physician. The assault was so subtle and full of plausible deniability that the victims weren't even sure whether they were actually abused. In the movie the abuse is portrayed as some sort of gross religious ritual, with the victims sitting on a stage, strapped to a chair - which we should accept has been going on under the radar for decades?
- But it has a mixed-raced lesbian couple who not only survives but is also making out and the two actresses were even part of the editing process of the sex scene (I guess to make sure it isn't too male-gazey?), so :fist: to progress, or whatever.
I honestly would have profited from some trigger warnings before watching this, so be aware of the following content: Bugs, delusional parasitosis, vomit, suicide, amputation, ableism, paedophilia, child sexual abuse, (threat of) rape and gore in general.
I really liked how the usual roles are swifted here, and the proximity with the children literature combined with the tim burton's aesthetic really got me. The two main leads are gorgeous and they are so expressive with their eyes (which is the whole premise of this episode), I don't want to set my expectations too high tho, cause it's both a netflix and a korean drama, which have history of disappointing me, but it was a GREAT start.
OH MY FREAKING GOD!!!!!!
I knew it would be either boring or good but I have never thought it would be that good. It's only ep 1 and milion things can happen to be worse or better but it was mesmerazing. Not cringy at all. And for the first time in a kdrama........ or I think EVER in my life, when the words came and the music stopped, everything went silent and I think I stopped breathing! I have never experienced sth like that. Anything could happen in that moment and it's first ep so you dont think "omg they will kiss" or whathever. I am in awe... how the heck did they do this!
Quite enjoyed this series/season but didn't like the ending one bit.
I thought this was a great series but I hated the ending
Wasn’t thrilled with the ending… but this was a great show
I'm not crying, you're crying.
I'm a quite sensitive watcher so you can imagine how much I cried during this episode. Like a baby. So sad yet brilliant!
the hearts game episode here
crying and sobbing. ji-yeong was so sweet. and ali! and il-nam. fucking hell.
This was a really hard episode to watch. Pulled at every single emotional string in your soul. The ending, was beautifully done, but wow, crying like a baby.
This episode really made me think about the evil that surrounds humanity, in every aspect...
This episode wrecked me emotionally.
This is getting more hard, there is some tears in my eyes
ali and that old man :/ that's unfair like wtf you are passing by all of this
it's makes you feel that they are real people and it's about the much this world is bad
fuckkkkk
fuck this episode, i was almost crying throughout
The first episode was exciting (after half an hour), this one was slow, a bit boring and predictable (everyone will return). Nice introduction to the characters, but slow. Hope it gets better once they returned to the playground.
