Drama Digest

The 13-episode series consists of four bizarre tales told by various tragic characters: Pink, a sex-addicted doctor who becomes pregnant by a demon; Lada, a young nurse hired to care for a dying aristocrat who wants to continue living in a youthful body; Off, an outspoken Internet celebrity hoping to regain fame online by opening a new paranormal activity channel; and Chai, a charming psychopath who enjoys torturing women and films them for his own amusement.

The Feel-Good Part

While it doesn’t provide anything new to the horror genre, it triumphantly delivers enough heart-stopping, gasp-inducing sequences, including bloody torture scenes, uncensored sights of feces, and the intolerable agony of delivery. But something more profound and socially significant is revealed when the show dishes up the good and the horrific. Beyond the jaw-dropping narrative and photography, the directors deftly work in biting comments on taboos and horrible societal ills.

The Disappointing Factor

The absence of adequate flow across the entire series is its lone negative aspect. Sometimes, it seems like the viewer is being pulled away from the program, which might divert them. The tale lacks depth and fluidity, which makes it difficult for the audience to pay attention.

In-Depth Analysis

Which is scarier, ghosts or people? Some claim that since we can’t see them and are terrified of the unknown, they must be ghosts. Others, though, might contend that it is individuals, particularly those who outwardly seem kind but are actually harboring evil motives. The hazard posed by people increases at night. Pink, an app junkie, meets Q, a strange and attractive man, in “Blind Date,” a collection of four interconnected horror stories. They have a close relationship that results in Pink’s bizarre pregnancy, which follows her until the very end. She was employed with a sizable sum of money to care for Her Serene Highness Srisaang in “Requiem of the Adolescent.” When her patient improves in an odd way, her fears come to life. In “Death Channel,” Off, a popular Youtuber, and Boat, his hero, collaborate to launch a paranormal activity channel that includes anonymous user funding. They’ll never know what’s in store. Chai, a fascinating character in “Into the Hole,” is adept at one-night stands and aspires to make money by making a sex tape. Then he encounters Dao, a stunning lady. His naughty conduct continues, but it will be more difficult this time to continue with it.

Star Power

The actors give a phenomenal performance, which is evident in making the viewers glued to the screen and on the edge of their seats. The star power is perfect for such kind of horrer thriller series.

Overall Opinion

This production merits greater praise and a standing ovation for its audacious decision to offer Thai and other spectators something radically new. All you need is some bravery to find out what people truly do after dark. One should definitely not skip out on such a horrific thriller.
