Manner of Death rewatch ep 11-14 (finale)
The thing about MoD's story structure and pacing is that they really want the viewer to suspect, but not want to suspect, love interest Tan for the first 3/4ths of the drama. It's a romantic suspense setup where Tan is attractive but dangerous... and attractive because he's dangerous.
Once this culminates in ep 10-11 with the reveal of the true antagonists, now the story focus flips over from romantic suspense to mostly pure suspense. Our otp is solid and just trying to get out of this alive & together. It makes a rewatch of the final 4 episodes pretty fast because you can speed thru the case stuff.
In my rewatch I've been directing stronger attention to the brothers' minor relationship arc, which I wasn't really tracking the first time around (as I presumed mob boss Por was gonna just end up as a minor jailed baddy).
Now that I have KP Chay's frequent, "Hia!" in my brain, it pings a bit harder whenever Tan directs it to Por with a plaintive edge. This low level criminal boss who almost killed him a couple episodes earlier is indeed the only family Tan has left. Tan trusted enough in that to tie his man to a staircase and show up in Por's mansion o' thugs to try to break thru to him face 2 face. LOL can u believe this murder case actually fixed their fucked up half-sibling relationship.
When it looks like the 3 teens are about to get GOT by the corrupt commander's officer and then pop! A shower of blood and its big brother Por standing there with his gun like the most menacing hero 🙌
Then he shows up at the couple's hiding stop with some handy stolen evidence and is like, "right now you're fugitives wanted by the police"
ok, fuck, I guess he IS your hia. 🤔
That scene where our otp watch the horrific proof of who killed Jane and even Por is like DAMN. I'm like, that's right bitch, this is why we don't murder our siblings ok it is not cool.
Somehow I find this all hilarious.
And then Por gets kidnapped! "Hia!" engaged. "Don't worry about me! Release the video!" wow, big brother, we've come such a long way in 4 episodes.
But then Tan is ready to risk it all, including his true love, in order to save his bro so.
The family that faces death together, stays together? 🤔
ah, Corrupt cop arrives for the rescue to kill the even more corrupt cop! YAY! He plugs that dude so full of lead he could serve as a paperweight. Nice.
MoD has a bit of that Vampire Diaries vibe, where the practical answer is always to align yourself with the lesser monsters.
Drugging & trafficking young girls under 15 is the greater evil. Even dirty cops & mobsters agree: let's scrub these scum out of our sketchy town and get back those "grey areas" everyone is comfortable with.
Very realistic that the congressman gets away. But 2 out of 3 isn't bad.
Tan and the other henchmen catch our villianess at the border and bring her back for Por to deliver a thematically appropriate murder. 👌
The less said about the psychotic proposal the better. But the kids are back in class and Tan is back to his teaching day job. And a man actually agreed to marry him after meeting him in the woods, being told he's on an errand for his mob boss brother, and running off with him to be held at gunpoint yet again. But just kidding! (Bun, this is the 1st day of the rest of your life: that hot man lying to you AGAIN.)
That's true love.

I'm reading through some of my WIPs, not because I'm writing but just because I've got that folder open while I play with computer voices, so have a snippet:
The question arrived with its usual annual horror.
‘So,’ said Marji, casually, ‘what are you doing for Christmas?’
Mercy made a face, which, this being a phone call, her mother thankfully did not see.
‘I’m not sure yet,’ she said, which was perfectly true. She’d managed to duck seeing her very normal, very human family actually on Christmas Day ever since she’d moved to the Tri-Cities. Tad had provided a an excellent excuse on top of the difficulties of interstate driving in winter and the expectations of her customers – he didn’t have any family but Zee, and she could hardly ditch her kid sidekick on Christmas – but he was away east, doing his ivy league college thing.
‘We’re getting together with Todd’s parents, so the families can meet each other,’ continued Margi, in tones of light reproof.
Ah, there was the hint. Nan and Todd had meet in some 101 class and hit it off, and he’d proposed their senior Thanksgiving. Todd was, by all accounts, a very nice young man. Their mother had been delighted. Mercy had spent Thanksgiving evening getting into her third and then fourth fight with a werewolf in the course of as many days. She hadn’t even had to decide not to tell her mother that.
