Sell Your Haunted House

It’s a drama about a woman with a tragic past, who runs a realty business combined with an exorcism business. She sells haunted properties after first exorcising the ghosts that dwell there. She meets a conman with special medium powers and after the initial reluctance on her side they start working together. And their relationship slowly morphs from annoyance and doubt and dislike to the mutual respect and trust and affection, and true friendship and partnership.

I finished watching it yesterday. It was amazing from start to finish. I loved it even more than I loved The Matchmakers. The last episode made me cry and then made me smile so much. It was emotional and beautiful, and perfect. I really hope that screenwriter will write more dramas, they’re very good.

And for those of you, who prefer the dramas without romance – that was one of them. I mean, there are a few tiny moments of simmering attraction between the female lead and the male lead, but it’s really just a few moments in all 16 episodes, and it never goes anywhere even close to romantic feelings. And apparently it wasn’t intentional, it’s just the effect of Jang Na Ra and Jung Yong Hwa having great natural chemistry.


Last Twilight

The finale was on Friday a week ago. And well, it was disappointing. Everything I didn’t want them to do, they did. I was disappointed enough that I started to write a rant on Saturday, but then I didn’t finish it, and now I don’t even care enough to rant. It’s a pity, it was such a good drama for ten episodes, and then they did this. *sigh*

My major complaint behind the cut with spoilers.

What I mind the most is the drama insisting on Day being completely in the right, and Mhok being wrong. They had Mhok apologize twice. They wanted me to buy into the premise that only Mhok was in the wrong and caused their breakup. And that Day blocking Mhok on all his social media accounts and completely erasing him from his life for three years was a right thing to do. And sorry, but no, I couldn’t do that.

Dead Friend Forever

I like it a lot. Ta is amazing, the last episode was very good, and I can’t wait to watch the next one.

More with spoilers here.

The ending of the episode was like a KinnPorsche Macau/Porchay AU fic. I loved it. And I’m so curious to know what really happened in the past. In the next ep there will be more flashbacks and even more Phee/Non stuff. I can’t wait.

I had to fast-forward quite a lot during those last two episodes, because all those flashbacks to the guys bullying Non was hard to watch. But good job, show, you made it so I won’t feel sorry for any of them when they die horribly. Jin for now seems mostly innocent, and his only failing is not standing up to his awful friends when he saw them bully Non. Yes, he never saw the worst of it. But still he was rather a passive observant instead of actually doing something about the stuff he knew about. And well, we certainly don’t know everything yet, and I still think that maybe Jin isn’t as innocent as he seems, maybe he did something awful to Non later, maybe he’s just as bad as Top, Tee, and Por.

And I did think that Tan and Phee were in it together in the present time, but now I think Tan is just a red herring. And I saw the speculation that White is the one working with Phee, and that White is Non’s brother. I mean I assumed that Non’s bother was older and studying at the university abroad, but it wasn’t confirmed, so maybe Non’s brother is actually younger, so it could be White. I have to say that I like this idea. But we’ll see. We have six more episodes to watch.

As for fanfic writing – in January I posted two fics in a very tiny fandom for Thai drama Wednesday Club. Not a BL, but with a lot of actors I know from various BL dramas – Ohm Pawat, Phuwin, Satang, Film, Papang, AJ and JJ, and Tor. I haven’t written about it before, because it started pretty strong and was pretty good for like 5 or 6 episodes, but then it took a nosedive in quality, and I started to fast-forward a lot and lost a lot of my initial enthusiasm about this drama. But one pairing caught my attention, and then those two fics were born. 😊

Summary:

And this moment, right now, was like everything Top ever dreamed of. And Top finally was the one holding all the power, and Kul was the one looking at Top pleadingly, those fucking pretty eyes of his full of hope, and his voice trembling.

“You’re the only one who can help me,” Kul said.

And Top... Well, Top was half hard already, just seeing Kul kneeling at his feet, wringing his hands and begging, his desperate eyes looking up at Top as if Top really was the only one that could save Kul.

Top would never admit it to anyone, but he had wanted Kul since the first time he laid eyes on him in the university’s main hall when Kul was just a first-year student looking so beautiful in that pristine white shirt.
