Contains symbolic life and death lessons to behold upon
I really loved seeing Nut playing Phob here, it shows how he is improving in his acting. The way he handled Phob's personality and expressions as well as the turmoil of emotions his character has to go through into this self-discovery path is amazing. He made it in a way that grows on us viewers, we find ourselves cherishing Phob, just as much as Phat does.
It his hard when the secrets begin to unveil and the truth comes out, reality starts to sink in by each and every episode.
We are able to see that there is no turning point, or a possibility of a happy romantic ending.
But then again this series was never meant to be a typical BL story or focused on their potential relationship.
It was more like the voyage of learning to love and let go, of self-healing for both the dead and the living. To be able to let go of the past and the pains one carries within their soul in order to be free from guilt and try to cope and move on.
"Trying to forget you is harder than trying to remember you." - Phat
We can think of Phob as being Phat's first love in that sense, intense and like most ephemeral. Either good or bad, it's always unforgettable. He came into Phat's life with the purpose of seeking for his help, but in the end they both helped each other in their own special ways.
Phob gave Phat the chance to try to pursue his dream despite failing to keep on trying. To make a living, to be more brave and optimistic despite failure. It's a part of life. And Phat helped Phob remember who he was, he helped him reconnect with his past, and learn the truth behind his life and find himself. He also helped to stay away from the darkness by keeping Phob close.
Most of all I actually enjoyed the connection they both created through the days they were able to spent together.
"Should we go into your dreams?" - Phob
"No. We should say goodbye while we're awake, we've been in our dreams for too long" - Phat
The dreams where they met at first were always symbolic. But as I remember what the guardian spirit warned Phob when he first used it, that the more he dwelled in Phat's dreams the more dangerous it would be for both and mainly for Phat... I started to realize how that eventually ceased from happening. They stopped meeting in there, gradually, the more connected they felt and the more close they've got. To not need to meet in such a state where danger could lurk in the dark corners of the mind.
'Something in my Room' is somehow different than other paranormal BLs such as 'He's Coming to Me', this is a bit more darker, almost in a thriller like format to keep the viewer on his toes with the climatic suspense they try to pull of here. It also carries more symbolic value and that dose of reality until the very end. Endings are always hard to get by, mainly because they fail to keep up with the expectations or even the consistency of the plot. But surprisingly this one didn't, at least not for me. It showed the only way out, and the aftermath. Giving in a way a sense of purpose to each character who had their own individual path to follow. I liked how symbolic the ending is, that we may consider it a sort of happy ending for both of them.
Every episode feels like symbolic emotional rollercoaster, the more we learn about Phob.
Plan did a great job as Phat, but Nut as Phob definitely stole my heart and show with his friendly and pure role.
The true scene stealer at some point it had to be Green. I swear his role here as Ben was beyond words. I think he really gave his all into it, even though it was a support role that showed up temporarily into the plot. It held that amount of emotional grief and pain throughout his actions, his theatrical performance, the powerful dance and his belated confessions...
Really and eye opener, both in the drama and for him as a rising actor.
The OST is as weary as the climatic vibes the drama tries to sell. Somehow it works.
It's not a horror genre per se, but a light thriller in the making. The intro is a great though.
Supanut's song ' Just like a Dream' is really cute, with meaningful lyrics and with a happier vibe.
I recommend giving it a go. Endure the first episodes, if you enjoy symbolic messages than this has plenty to go from. This drama is mostly made in a sort of slow and attempted spooky pace, it's supposed to be a voyage of the soul after all.
