Bingo but layered is an inspired choice. It’s like an escape room but no one knows they’re playing an escape room

I'm calling it now, Saltburn is the new Fight Club. Middle Class folk are going to love the aesthetics, have little Saltburn parties, while the fact that "Middle Class aspirations to have the wealth of the Upper Class is ruthless" will go right over their heads.

My friend who's heavily into Kdrama keeps asking me if I've watched this and that and the answer is usually no - I've been really busy and when I do find time I'm usually watching Thai stuff (without being explicit). So she only goes and finds a Thai drama on Netflix to watch together. Gah. Which is the backstory to why I watched a het drama called Ready Set Love on Saturday.
Premise: because of a mysterious pandemic the male population of the world is greatly outnumbered by the female and the birthrate for boys is only 0.009%. In Thailand there are only c.350 males and they are idolised, kept safe from birth in a government run facility called The Farm.
Plot: as they get to their 20s the boys are paired up with women on a reality type show Ready Set Love 5 boys and 50 girls- 45 of who from the wealthy elite (including a clique called 'The Organics' who were born 'naturally' rather than through IVF - shades of Mean Girls) but 5 contestants are chosen by lottery from the general pubic. Our heroine is one of these; entered by her sister she agrees to take part in the hope that, if she wins, she'll be able to access the medical treatment her sister needs. Cue shenanigans.
It's a romcom with thriller elements - there's the uncovering of a conspiracy, some disturbing actions by the government, an underground resistance etc but there's also this completely bonkers game show, and it is bonkers. It's almost Squid Game like in its madness (without the death).

Because of the set up the vast majority of the cast - from crew to security to vendors to hospital staff to, well, everyone - is female. It's a really interesting take and also, of course, it means that there are a lot of lesbian couples. What about the boys though? What if one of them were gay? Well, we do get crumbs of a side couple so if @heretherebedork watches they will be delighted.
And I enjoyed it. Only 6 eps and with a good budget which meant that the over-the-top gameshow special effects etc were excellent. Some of the comedy was cringy but hey, it's Thailand so it's only to be expected and if I can sit through a Cheewin comedy I can handle anything.
Worth a watch if you need a BL break. Or even if you don't.

I’m sorry, there’s something to me that’s so right about Arya being the little sister with a million friends you’ve never met but have heard about

Mai is so real for nominating Ashley after her stunt during the bridge game. It’s what she deserved, because everyone else has been a team player. I know it makes Mai look bad, but I can’t fault her for it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Obsessed with the way the staff of the school let the students abuse, sabotage each other, tolerating discrimination without batting an eye.
The ruthless nature of the school is a good representation the socio-political climate of the story but also a good way to encourage those kids to engage in cutthroat manoeuvers, exploiting loopholes, scheming & deshamunisation to get what they want.
Those kids are basically groomed in becoming awful & abusive heads & high-ranked employees of corporations & pawns for their parents.
The fact the rule can be changed at the whim of Miorine's father when she finds a way to fight against his wishes or that the teachers & examiners never fully explain the rules to some students like Suletta didn't know she needed a crew to pass her exam DURING said exam or that she could retry it if she failed if it wasn't for Miorine informing her. Oof.
The concept of the duels are only for show, "to prove" to the world everyone has an equal standing here added to the chivalric image but in the end, it's all about who get to win, not matter the cost.
And of course, the most privilieged comes on top while others like Suletta despite having Aerial & Miorine as an ally or Chuchu with her House & the support of her community struggle & get stepped on. Their presence bother other students as the power & influence they have means to disturb the current status quo. Suletta's manage to influence Miorine & Guel, two people with influence in the school who will have preominents political roles in the future.
No wonder Chuchu has so much anger in her, as she represents the hopes for Earthians to be recognized on the same equal levels as spacians as well as their frustrations. For her, it's about fighting back but this place was also created by the same oppressive system. How do you win like that without sacrificing your principles? The only thing she can do is lashes out.
No wonder Suletta has a breakdown during her exam. She had an idealized vision of what her school life would be & wanted to found her own school on Mercury & she end up in this messy, awful place instead.
It makes you wonder what goes thru the mind of her mother, knowing your daughter has those dreams & carry the hopes of many mercurians as she likely knew how toxic & dangerous this environnement is. Does she wants vengeance or justice & disturb the status quo to establish a better system by using her daughter that way? It's likely that there will be a breakdown in their relationship hence Suletta learn about her true intentions for her.
I wouldn't be surprised if shit truely hit the fan because all this disregard for the abuse & the tension/competition between the students will lead to a student of an important family getting killed, which could have grave consequences moving forward.

Hey unironically i think i should be hired by streaming sercives to fix their subtitles. I think there should be a way for viewers/streamers to report bad or inaccurate subtitles or ways they could be improved. I think they should be able to ask for better translations or ask to be told what language is being spoken if they switch languages. I think this should be an option for big blockbusters and random indie movies and international shows/movies and i think streaming companies should stop paying for the cheapest fucking options for their captioning
