The Hidden Moon (2024)

Khen....Khen....Khen

Why, Khen, why?

Why did Mas have to keep calling your name in that irritating tone?

Why did you go back to the past and leave your computer? The internet was not invented, so what would you see? Where would you get connectivity? Why, did your battery last that long?

Why after showing how the story began, did you not recognize Mas as the boy in the library when you went back to the past?

Why was a ghost allowed to have sex with a human? If a maid had entered during the deed, what would she actually see?

Why did Khampaun refuse her husband before she found out about his lust for Sompho? Why did she blame Sompho and not the husband? Taking it out on the unwilling mistress never ends well?

Why was it important for Sompho to have her story told? Did it bring any meaning to their story?

Why was the repetition of Mas back story necessary when it did nothing to enhance the story?

Why did Mas ask Ken to bring the box during the party and openly speak to him? Wouldn't he appear to be mental laughing and speaking to himself? Especially in the age when cell phones and earpieces have not been invented as yet?

Why did the girl next to him not notice?

Why when all realised that they were dead, why did they have to meet in the dry bush before beginning their journey? Why didn't they go to collect him? Like "Bro, you're dead. Let's go?"

Why was Mas filming on the computer about his home when the info would have corroded with time if it's not preserved? Again, why would the computer exist in time travel?

Why (humor me) would Khen carry Mas to the future if he wasn't a ghost to time travel?

Why show the ending with their meeting but start the beginning with the death with a whole lot of disconnected fillers to elongate the story leading nowhere?

Why was a story with such promise end up being so nonsensical?

Why didn't the screenwriter and director have a chat with those from IFYLITA to see how it's done?

Why was Mas' acting so bad?

Why did I waste my time hoping that it would get better?

Why, hmmmm, why?

Hunting House BL

Firstly I must admit I am biased when it comes to the hunted house trope. I have an illogical love for it.

So when hunted house BL should be something almost custom made for it - it was just not it.

Acting
I saw a lot of worse acting, especially among newbies. So when it wasn't bad, the whole cast gave off a very BLAND feeling.
The show would improve with much more experienced casting choices.
Lead chemistry was also bland with nothing memorable to write about.

Story
The story itself with elements of Mystery / Thriller / Horror was only reason I finished watching this show.
I will not spoil it, but there were some interesting twists and turns. However, the execution itself was very mediocre.
The director was a newbie, so I don't think he understands how storytelling is supposed to work, especially when he mixed so many genres.
Peacing itself was also very problematic, he can't build momentum and atmosphere to make Horror/ Thriller elements to really work.

To sum it up the only thing I liked about this drama was the story, but the whole execution was a mess and could be done so much better.
