I wonder if Phee's description made Jin think of Non

[blu-eyed-freedom]

Watching back the Jin and Non content, Jin has zero clue what genre he's in. Like, he thinks he's in one of those cute high school BLs where the shy, unpopular kid is gonna open up and fall for him.

The way he's looking at Non during the editing stuff at Non's house. You just know he's got the theme music in his head and the narrative all planned out. Living his little BL delulu fantasy.

He has no clue.

Then he meets Phee and starts the process again.

Oh Jin. Poor, clueless Jin.

[everytimeigetmoody]

okay all of y'all are so angry at phee at let's be so fucking for real what were his other options in episode ten? did you want him to murder jin as soon as he found out that jin thinks he posted the video (i don't think he did. look at my last post for more)????? did you want him to leave Jin (who is injured and can't fight) while phee knows a murderer is actually out, while knowing jin is still probably feeling a little bit out of it because of the drugs??? sure, you can be angry at jin, but it's a real fucked up move to leave jin alone and defenseless. we can see that phee is a good guy, but he makes some fucked up choices because he's young, and stupid, and (PLEASE FUCKING REMEMBER) he is under an immense amount of stress. is phee so wrong as to want an ally in all of this??? jin is honestly the only other person who has his head on straight and isn't a murderer. it makes sense for him to compartmentalize.

did i love that he was so buddy-buddy in the woods??? no, not at all. that was kinda fucked up. but also phee is fully in survival mode right now. he is just trying to get himself and everyone else out alive. he feels guilty about leading everyone to their deaths. he knows he and Tan shouldn't be judge, jury, and executioner. he knows that's morally and ethically wrong.

some of y'all are a ittle too gung ho about tan killing them because y'all love passing judgement on character and deeming them deserving of death. it's a little disconcerting, but whatever, it's fiction.

Why is Jin watching Kinnporsche at school?😭😭🤚

[crysta1ized]

phee’s character in the present is just so confusing

we saw that he clearly feels something for jin, pretty much moved on from non, and isn’t that involved in tan’s plan (just went to fuck jin and didnt get any info like he was supposed to) and even seems to want to spill at least some part of the truth to jin

but despite everything that just happened in the house, he isn’t against tan either. he’s unpredictable, just standing here in the middle, not taking any part in the chaos that is unfolding.

in a way that behavior kinda reminds of fluke’s, seeing everything that unfolds but not taking any side

after watching ep9 i was mad, like damn phee how could you? we all believed in you but you just went ahead and fucked one of the dudes that made your bf’s life miserable and eventually led to his disappearance, have you got no shame? i mean i was pretty on board with all the ‘phee and tan are the masterminds, they’re the ones behind the masks, they’re here to take revenge for non and kill everyone’ theories so obviously i was a bit disappointed…

but still, phee didn’t really take any side (yet).

tan told him he planned on drugging everyone in that house and he clearly didn’t look in his right mind in that moment. then por was impaled on a branch. all of them started having hallucinations. fluke got a gun and is waving it at everyone. top clearly looked possessed and is becoming violent. now fluke almost shot someone and has white at gunpoint.

all of that was caused by tan’s drugs. (except the 9th person and the uncle that got decapitated but that’s for another time)

mixing hallucinations with a gun, a knife, deep-buried secrets and fear is not a good recipe. one of them already died and that’s only adding to the chaos.

once again, all of that was caused by tan’s drugs, in a butterfly effect kinda way.

phee knows that. tan was only planning to use them to get the group to confess everything under the influence and finally get answers. or was he…?

whatever phee thinks of tan and of his plan, everything snowballed and led them here. but tan is still the reason things are the way they are. but phee didn’t confront him. didn’t reveal to everyone his real identity and intentions. no, he’s just watching from afar. he didn’t intervene, didn’t add to the chaos, yet didn’t do anything to keep things under control or do damage control…

he didn’t use the antidote.

i thought he dropped off tan’s plan as he got too attached to jin and kinda forgot abt why he was here in the first place, but maybe everything’s that’s unfolding put him back on the right path?

his non-action is an action in itself.

even tho he maybe believed the drug wouldn’t be that hard, he could’ve stepped in so things wouldn’t worsen a thousand times. he could’ve given them the antidote a thousand times for fuck’s sake! he could’ve revealed everything to them a million times too.

later on he will have to pick a side, tan’s (aka non’s) or the others’ (aka jin’s). that’s kinda ironic that it means he’ll have to choose between his 2 bfs (maybe this is all a love triangle after all *gunshots*)

on a legal pov, he would technically be responsible for por’s death and the ones that will follow right? maybe not on the same level as tan or as whoever will pull the trigger/stab one of them but the drugs are the main reason they’re acting like that and he knew abt them and did nothing, so he’s technically guilty too right?

why would he decide to do nothing and just watch the chaos unfold if he didn’t enjoy what’s happening or think they deserve it at least a little bit?

what will he do? who will he choose? be wise, phee, i’ve got my eye on you.

obviously all this theory could be proven wrong in the matter of seconds in ep10 if he decides to spill everything to jin (which id be VERY pissed abt, the d cannot be that good?!??)

PheeJin and Pandora's Box

a.k.a. the Video.

Phee likes Jin.

He's aware of the video as well as Non an Keng's... relationship? Situationship? Circumstanceship? Whatever their exploitive situation can be called.

What Phee doesn't know, is who released that video. It was, as many people have said, the beginning of the end for Non. The point of no going back, the start of his character assassination and what triggered the collapse of his only support system.

Phee's reaction at the time was justifiable to him, but his last words were still harmful to Non's mental state and he no doubt feels insurmountable guilt for that. And what prompted it? The video. Considering he has had three years to stew on the matter, I would like to believe he has come to the realization that whoever recorded that video contributed significantly to Non's undoing.

And he has no reason to believe it was Jin. Jin is nice, he is polite, and never talks about Non like he is dead as the others do. He is the only one who doesn't act like Non being dead is a given. I don't think even Non ever badmouthed him to Phee, unlike the others, so Phee has a comparatively more favorable view of Jin than the others, who all attacked Non in ways Non is knowledgeable about, unlike Jin's actions which Non was unaware about until his death.

So now that they are alone and secluded and Jin is suddenly seeing Keng's ghost, I so very desperately want Phee to remember his objective and ask Jin who he is seeing and why, so he can finally face the knowledge that the boy he is falling for was maybe the vilest of them all. Or atleast, up there.

And I want a full confessional. I want Jin to come clean about his crush, about seeing Non with Phee someone, then seeing him being intimate with Keng and recording them for revenge.

Did he release it or did somebody else? I don't care. And neither, I think, will Phee.

And then there is New. Will Phee tell him? Or will he keep this to himself for the sake of his feelings for Jin (after all, his hasty action doomed his past lover, he may not want to repeat that again).

And even if Jin doesn't, we have Fluke, ready and willing to blow the top off the proverbial Pandora's box and let all their dark pasts out.

cannot wait for episode 10.

[hopemang7]

While everyone and their grandma´s second cousin´s dog´s ghost are hating on Jin, I am tired of Tan/New or whatever he goes by these days!

Him bitching at Phee for "getting a new partner" made me WHAT?!

If Phee got himself a new partner, New would not be in the middle of fucking nowhere getting high as a kite lamenting his pathetic life!

If Phee got himself a new partner, they could all live happily ever after and could have solved this shit a long time ago.

However, Phee did not get himself a new partner, he has been hoping to get some answers about his ex-boyfriend and pining after Jin for over 2 years!!! (that ass must have been delicious), and now here we are in this mess!

Tan/New lost his marbles... and this is why you should not do drugs, kids!

[fracturediron]

Jin is such an interesting character to think about and why he acts the way he does, as on a surface-level, so much of what he does seems so contradictory. For all that he has feelings for Non and apparently genuinely liked him, his responses to Non's bullying and ostracisation have always been very wishy-washy. Just enough to make a token protest about Non's mistreatment - because he knows what they're doing is shitty, and he feels badly enough and cares enough about Non to say something - but never anything truly concrete or that could alienate him from his friends.

It's kinda ironic how Jin chews out Phee for failing to commit in the present, when in the past, one of Jin's biggest failings was failing to commit to any sort of decisive stand with regards to Non's mistreatment.

He knows what his friends are doing is wrong, and he knows that Non is suffering for it. He stands up for him in a few small ways - and even offers him comfort - but never does he break things with his shitty friends, or truly call them out in a real meaningful way.

When I look at Jin, I think to myself: "Okay. You know what your friends are doing is terrible, and you like Non. Yet you continually to enable their bullying either through your passivity or by straight up trying to keep Non in the group, even though it's blatantly obvious Non's being used and that being with these people is actively harmful for him. So, what kind of person does that make you?"

The kind of person who doesn't want to look too deeply at themselves, or the reality of the people around them, and is not comfortable with introspection. Even in the present, Jin is planning to run away from his problems (rather than acknowledging them) by moving to the USA.

Until ep 7, Jin's convinced that everything will be fine - the others will stop hating Non if he just hangs around long enough! Non's just a sweet, quiet, doe-eyed innocent, a damsel in distress to be saved, and if he sees Jin going to bat him, that just goes to show he's a good guy, right? - and so tries to be the peacekeeper for both sides. He's unwilling to think too hard about the reality and the truth of his friends, because if he acknowledges that, then he has to acknowledge his friends are shitty people, and then what does that also say about him? Time and time again, Jin can't face the truth about his friends and Non, so he wilfully blinds himself in the hopes that it'll all work out in the end.

When he sees Kru Keng and Non together, though, Jin can't blind himself to the sordidness of reality anymore.

[blu-eyed-freedom]

So much to absorb from that finale.

First off, how much was hallucination and how much was real is so blurred that if there is a special episode (like I thought I saw Pond or someone mention one) they could easily do anything. Seriously, if they wanted to they could retcon, change or shift almost every 'fact' from the episode.

So that means everything can be taken with a pinch of salt. And, while I figured some questions would be unanswered, some surprised me and I've been thinking on that-

*That we never got an answer about Keng's investigation and identity. But the more I think about this, the more I wonder if that's the point. It's like real life in that they never get all the answers and how could that have been found out by some angry teen/early twenty somethings with hallucinogens in the woods?

* That the ninth person wasn't revealed. Surely there had to be one because Tan seemed to see a dark hooded figure as it moved through the house at one point? I suppose if everyone was tripping balls in ep 12 (New/Tan may have trusted that gas mask he'd rigged up but I kinda doubt it was as effective as he presumed) maybe no one was aware of the ninth person so the audience wasn't shown but eh. I am mostly ??

*Linked with above thought. Like many, I wanna know who was groping Tee in episode one. I highly doubt it was Tan and they seem to show it wasn't a hallucination.

*Non's death in ep11 felt like an afterthought. To the point that part of me was sure it was a fake out. Part of me still hopes that as I'd have loved to watch it and like I said who knows with the special episode, but the other half is thinking that maybe an unceremonious death off-screen fits thematically. Non had fallen so far, he becomes just another casualty of organised crime. Another statistic.

* Unlike some, I had a feeling White was going to be the innocent/bystander victim to highlight how far New had come from simply wanting to know the truth. It would have been nice to know more about him (like with the hallucinations, why his anxieties where largely about being accused of cheating, disfigurement from STDs and sex=filthy) but not knowing does add to the just a bystander. Just another casualty just like Non.

If nothing else, the variables give material both for this potential special episode and for fanfiction etc to play with.
