Enigma

[alterkrmn]

I started watching Enigma a couple of weeks ago, but then I had a busy schedule between work and two workshops I enrolled in (one voluntarily, and a mandatory one). Fortunately, I finished one last saturday and I feel like I can start breathing (and watching shows) again. So, I just finiched watching it last wednesday.

I usually don't watch horror stuff because I'm a crybaby and, not gonna lie, it has moments that sacred me a lot because they were pretty graphic, but I really liked the story. It was very intriguing and I definitely wanted to binge watch it when I started it.

I immediately loved Fa and I felt heartbroken for Namsine. And despite liking Ajin, I would have liked to know more about him, although I admit his character being mysterious works just fine for the story.

I suffered a lot during the first part of the last episode and at some point I thought it was going to be too much for me but I kept watching and everything worked out in the end. I can even see my self rewatching it.

Something I didn't enjoy at all and almost made me stop watching it was the Harry Potter reference... I am tired of Harry Potter references.

Since a couple of months ago (maybe more... half a year?) I make threads with my reactions to series I watch. I did it with A Tale of Thousand Stars and Moonlight Chicken, just to mention the Thai ones but, as I said in the first line of this post, I haven't had much time lately and my day off was in the middle of the week, so I preferred just watching instead of stopping to write, specially because it was a bit late.

Anyway, I'm glad I watched it because it wasn't BL and I feel like yes, despite me wanting to watch more Thai BL to expand my BL knowledge, I'm not opposed to watch other kind of shows as long as they're interesting. And this one was. Thank you for the rec, elisheva_m

I'm kinda a scaredy cat when it comes to horror, so there was some watching through my fingers at certain points. Yeah, I could've done without the Harry Potter references too.

I really enjoyed Enigma, too! I can be kinda Not Good with horror, but I think since a lot of it was done very artistically I was able to stomach it a little easier, and just trying to figure out what was going on in the show, because it was SO cool, I kinda didn't want to miss a moment!

Thirding the harry potter references, like I get it, but also like yeah, I would have rather have not deal with that.

Good to see you here friend <3 I don't do well with gore or horror either so please know anything I'm keen on won't stay bad for long and (IMO) is worth getting through. Thai series tend to have a different rhythm for difficult emotions and scenes too, which helps.
Can confirm it's still excellent on a rewatch :)

Like I said to you elsewhere, incoherent enthusing is just fine. If I wasn't trying to be a good host here (and on my 3rd rewatch) I probably would have just emoted in my comments ;)
