KICKING DOWN UR DOOR. UR LAST RB REMINDED ME. i’m v intrigued by tyk and i have finally decided to watch and/or read it :3 i think i found a place 2 read the book but i’m still lookin for a place 2 watch the show EITHER WAY I AM EXCITED. WILL REPORT BACK WHEN I’VE GOTTEN FURTHER INTO IT o7
HIII OH MY GODDDDD BOUNCINNNG AROUND SO HARD OH MY GOD. HI WHISKEY. ok ok ok. u can watch the show (free & legally !) on rakuten viki !!!! i would recommend watching the show first, eps r like. 45 minutes each, it is an extremely good show but not a very great adaption.
(my personal opinions: show is much easier to get into & is SO fun. good show looks super nice visually imo but i'm a sucker for bright pretty saturated color cdramas.. id take bad cgi & fun visuals anyday over gritty dark hollywood shit. tbh. sands down the mcs more + the textually queer romance is sublimated into EXTREMELY LOUD subtext that is nevertheless never said out loud. like it's still queer as hell but like,, less so than the novel. novel is one of my favorites of all time however its something of a heavier read! deals a lot with deeply morally grey characters who are fine with being that way + falling into a death spiral & being certain yr gonna kill yourself before u reach 27 & then changing ur mind at the last possible minute when it's so close to being to late + tangled and fraught relationships to desire & selfhood & personhood & intimacy. it's a long commitment though + i think probably could b hard to get into bcos cnovel prose translation often has a different cadence & style to western fiction!)
