Stalker (2022)

I Shouldve Known Better

All the bits in this go on for too long. In fact, the dialogue in general drags. I watched on 1.75x and it still felt like there was always too much time spent before letting a bit/joke/scene end, everything felt protracted and (considering how cringey this was obviously going to be with the premise) that really adds up to an unpleasant watching experience. If you've got a moderate to low tolerance for cringe, skip this one. It took me a minute to notice, but somewhere in episode two, my brain apparently just shut the fuck down to protect itself from critical levels of cringe. I was in part 2/4 and then I noticed I had taken in no information and was just staring blankly at the end of part 3/4. Like my eyes were watering, there is so much POTENT cringe every damn second. It's giving me heartburn. Indigestion. I didn't even know I was this weak to cringe but this is an unnecessarily strong brew jfc

I feel like I've maybe shaved a year off the longevity of my heart and I also learned that you can tense your heart today. Or at least it felt like I did. I've never had a show make me so uncomfortable my face literally ached from how furrowed my brows were.

I cannot stress enough how much this drags, so I literally counted how many seconds it took for Toh to overreact to something. Nuea says something and Toh reacts for 20 SECONDS STRAIGHT. Before. Responding. This happens more than once in a conversation. Hell, more than thrice in one interaction between the two, it is excruciating.

I can jive with slapstick comedy and like.... anime antics¿ but it feels like they weren't willing to let anything just end until they'd wrung all the life from it. The sheer amount of sound effects (horse neighing, "wow", bells, *!!!*) it's never ending and I think I'm in flight or fight mode rn??? Idk, I'm almost immune to the cringe at this point because my fear has evolved into anger, if only for self-protection. The constant heavy breathing when Nueas around oooooooh my fucking l o r d

I left to get cereal and getting back over to my phone felt like trying to put a cat in a bath, my body just didn't wanna get anywhere near it. Never once in my life have I rooted for the straight couple over the BL/GL, but I was rooting for Prao because Toh literally made me feel like I found a centipede crawling up my leg typa uncomfortable and creeped out. That's what his character is supposed to be, but at some point I had to wonder if there was any intention to make the character likable ever. And the music??? Why are we playing sad music when Toh doesn't get to be creepy???? Am I supposed to sympathise¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿



I blinked and two episodes passed but I don't remember them. I feel that I've aged in spirit. I'm going to drop this for my health, safety, and sanity.

Edit: I previously rated this a one but through the utter insanity of only finding absolutely awful series to watch lately, I decided to return to the trauma that is this one. I added a full star for the scene where Nuea appears naked for no reason because I spent about fifteen minutes straight laughing about it until I cried and my whole torso hurt.

Edit 2: its grown on me. Two more stars. Im understanding the cult favorite aspect because if you acclimate and survive the eye-watering cringe for long enough, it really is funny

Never judge a book by it's cover, that's what SCOY taught me

This series started out so awkward and cringy that I thought it was only going to be that. And because of that I wasn't going to watch it. Truth be told the trailer threw me off it. But, boy was I wrong & it highly surprised me. It was something beautiful that showed us that we all deserved love no matter how we are perceived by others. Whether, we are "outcasts" or not... Straight/bi/gay/lesbian/Ace/Trans--- whatever we are all equal when it comes to love and we all deserve happiness. It was great seeing the popular ones chasing the "outcasts/nerds" this time.

We don't get BL series were the main character is like Toh seen as an outcasts and weird. If the audience sees them in a BL series, they are always supporting characters. But, in SCOY they get to shine and get their HEA. Extremely grateful for SCOY.

Also love how Toh and Nuea turned out to be one of the healthiest couples this year. No misunderstandings here(which seem to be plaguing BL lately) and when there were: those misunderstandings were rapidly cleared up by communication. Their love for each other was equal too. No: one loves the other more than the one loves them. TohNuea supported each other and just loved each other. Billy and Seng were amazing in their roles and their chemistry was fire. I hope we get to see them in another series. Sky and Jao stole my heart too. They were beautiful and heart how Jao lost his awkwardness little by little the more he spent time with ao

The friendship between Toh's group & Sky/Nuea was also the best. One of the strongest points of SCOY. Saint did an amazing job here and I think he proved he has talent to produce series. Can't wait to see his next one!

I rated everything 10 haha ecept the OVERALL category. There I went with 9.5 because there were some cringy scenes(esp in the beginning) that I can't get over but that's not enough to make me hate Secret Crush on You.

I highly recommend it. Don't sleep on it if you're thinking of watching just do it! You won't regret it. It may end up surprising you and be one of your favorites. Give it a chance.

Just give it a try..

Well at first I thought it was weird and a bit cringe but I ended up loving it. I really didn't expect to enjoy it so much.
I love all the main characters of this series.
It's a fluff drama with not any serious "villains" that get on your nerves and you can't enjoy the watch and (thankfully) without the typical misunderstandings that lead to break up's trope.

I really liked that the characters knew what they wanted from the beginning and they didn't fool around..
And although it's a fluff drama like I said before it touched some every day and more serious matters but without over dramatizing anything.

I shiped all the couples but my favourite was Sky&Jao they were SOOO frickin cute!!!
I also loved the music and the OST!!!

One thing that I didn't like is that Daisy&Touch didn't have much of screen time I really liked them together and I wanted to see more of them...

Anyway I think this is a 'hit or miss' drama either you gonna love it or hate it. In my case (surprisingly) I loved it...just give it a try and see for yourself:))

Groundbreaking empathetic BL with a big heart

SCOY is the groundbreaking BL that the BL world needed.. effeminate/feminine/non binary gay characters who have been always casted as side characters and comic relief get their love stories and shine in this show. Not only that it gives a lot of relatable moments for introverts like me who live half of their lives in their head because they are too afraid of confronting reality. Seng potrayed Toh's comically flawed introvert character with so much empathy.
The show is exaggerated on purpose - so that a lot of concepts which was not shown in BLs before can ne introduced..it gives you second hand embarrassment, makes you cry, laugh, deliriously happy and in general reminds us the absurdism of life. Episode 1-3 is kind of a buildup with a lot of cringe moments from our airhead Toh but 4th episode onwards the show just goes to another level. It does not take itself seriously, and asks the audience to do the same.
Also for a larger than life absurd comedy genre, this show has a lot of heart, toe curling chemistry and insanely hot kiss scenes.

Ok wait...

This series is actually unto something. I'm posting this when I just started ep. 9 and OMG The SPICE Is Insane. I like every character in this series but The Main Leads are doing it for me rn.

I did not expect to be liking a series like this because I'm more into dramatic ones like KinnPorche, Not Me etc... but SCOY just burst in and said, "This is going to be your favorite Series". When I say it is Sooo Funny, I mean it. It's so hilarious that there are points that I literally cry Lol. A series has not made me laugh this much, Ever and I've been watching BL for over 5yrs. now.

Kudos to all the actors/actresses/Director/Producer/Staff and everyone that suggested for me to watch this series.

This got me mesmerized

I don't even know what to say, I was kinda indifferent with this series at the start, but with each passing episode I caught myself obsessed with all couples...
I love the fact that they don't only talk about LGBTQ+ but also, body shamming and transphobia...
I loved every line of Daisy and InTouch they're such good characters, but Jao has my whole heart, he had such a low self esteem but so much love for Sky and I loved that.
The main couple was so cringe but cute at the same time, this series made me laugh a lot but I also cried with very little details and themes that were adressed..
With this I only have two words to define this drama: Love & Meaningful <3<3

Love This Show ❣️

I'm only on episode 9, so forgive me if my opinion changes later on. It's only natural that happens since all of the episodes haven't been released yet. Anyways, I'm in love with this drama. The acting, the story, and the music is amazing. I really enjoy the OSTs. The chemistry of the actors is amazing. I love a good show with great chemistry and a great story. At first, I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it; but I was wrong. I love this show so much that I'm awake a lot later than I would usually be watching this show. That should say something. I'm seriously hoping this show stays great throughout the next couple episodes. I don’t want to love this drama then dislike it later on because they rush something, or do something stupid. I say give it a chance. I promise you, you will love the characters and the story. Possibly the OSTs too. ♡

IF YOU'RE NOT SEEING THIS YET, THIS IS YOU SIGN TO WATCH THIS!!!!!!!!

I love this, this is the kind of series that I will watch if I'm feeling down to boost my mood. Not too sad but full of kilig moments, although I don't like the part of Toh where he acts "like" obsessed and stalker at the same time. And you really have a lot to learn here especially in friendship. Definitely worth to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
