Spare Me Your Mercy (2024)

Queria dar 10000000000!

Perfeita, simplesmente perfeita.

Nem sei por onde eu começo. Essa série me fez aguardar ansiosamente pelas quartas e quintas-feiras. E já estou com saudades de Kan & Wassan.

O último episódio me deixou literalmente emocionalmente destruída. É simplesmente a melhor série que assisti este ano. Tudo nela é perfeito. Como havia mencionado anteriormente a cada episódio, a série me deixava mais fascinada pela maneira como explorava temas profundos como eutanásia, ética médica e a complexidade das relações humanas. A série simplesmente apresentou questões éticas de uma maneira complexa e multifacetada, permitindo que o público refletisse sobre os tópicos sensíveis por conta própria. Ela não impôs uma visão única sobre eutanásia ou decisões médicas difíceis, mas apresentou dilemas morais por meio das experiências e conflitos dos personagens, especialmente entre o Dr. Kan e o Inspetor Wasan.

A eutanásia é um debate que faz parte da nossa rotina diária enquanto profissionais da área médica, especialmente aqueles que cuidam de pacientes com doenças terminais. O diálogo final entre Kan e Wassan me levou as lágrimas, principalmente a fala do Dr. Kan. E como o Dr. Kan, acredito que se o paciente estiver no uso das suas capacidades mentais, ele deveria ser capaz de decidir como gostaria de terminar sua vida.

Amei a ambiguidade moral dos personagens, porque representa a sociedade em que vivemos. Nada é preto no branco. Dr. Kan vê a eutanásia como um ato de misericórdia enquanto Wassan considera a eutanásia é moralmente errada e legalmente indefensável.

JJ e Tor dão um verdadeiro show de atuação durante a série toda com uma química alucinante e exalando sensualidade por todos os poros, mas nos últimos 20 minutos da série eles se superaram. Magistral. Thiu implorando com o olhar para que Kan confesse me deixou destruída. Acredito que o instinto de Wassan sempre lhe disse que Kan era o responsável pelas mortes, e de certa maneira ele entendia o porque de Kan se sentir responsável por minimizar o sofrimento dos seus pacientes, mas Wassan também precisava que Kan o entendesse. E ele entendeu.

Aliás, todo o elenco está de parabéns por conferir ambiguidade e
profundidade emocional a personagens tão complexos. Uma direção primorosa, com um enfoque especial no desenvolvimento dos personagens, permitiu que os atores entregassem performances autênticas e emocionantes. Além disso, a série manteve um um ritmo equilibrado, alternando entre momentos de grande tensão e cenas mais calmas e introspectivas. A OST é perfeita.

E embora a série não tenha terminado como eu gostaria, com Kan e Wassan vivendo felizes para sempre, considerei o final perfeito para que o relacionamento deles possa evoluir sem necessidade de segredos, nem mentiras. Portanto, estarei aguardando ansiosamente pela temporada 2!!!

Preciso urgentemente de mais séries como essa!!! Por favor, assistam essa série!! Vocês não vão se arrepender!!

Uau, acho que nunca escrevi tanto sobre uma série 😂😂😂😂

Enredo envolvente: A combinação de suspense, romance e drama mantém o espectador envolvido.

"A série BL produzida pela Talinadia representa uma obra-prima dentro do gênero. Havia uma expectativa considerável desde que não se via uma narrativa que se afastasse dos padrões tradicionais, ou, como comumente dizemos, 'fora da caixa'. O enredo, repleto de suspense, cativa o espectador e o deixa ansioso por novos capítulos.

Lançada em 2024, a série "Spare Me Your Mercy", inspirada no romance "Euthanasia" de Sammon, recebeu críticas altamente positivas devido à sua abordagem única e complexa de temas como eutanásia, moralidade e amor. Destaco as atuações extraordinárias de JJ Krissanapoom Pibulsonggram e Tor Thanapob Leeratanakachorn, assim como a química notável entre os protagonistas.

A narrativa acompanha o major da polícia, Wasan, que investiga uma sequência de mortes suspeitas entre pacientes em fase terminal, e explora sua relação com o Dr. Kantaphat, o médico que cuidou de sua mãe. A história levanta questões éticas e morais, conseguindo manter o público engajado e intrigado.
Os pontos fortes da série incluem:

- Atuações convincentes: JJ e Tor proporcionaram performances memoráveis, infundindo profundidade e complexidade nas suas respectivas personagens.

- Enredo envolvente: A combinação de suspense, romance e drama mantém o espectador envolvido.

- Química entre os personagens: A relação entre Wasan e Kantaphat é simultaneamente convincente e emocionante.

Em suma, "Spare Me Your Mercy" é uma série bem-sucedida que aborda temas complexos com sensibilidade e profundidade.

No que tange ao desfecho da história, considero-o justo; não foi melancólico, tampouco se viu como um 'carrasco'. Os dois, que se amam profundamente, decidiram permanecer juntos, mesmo diante da necessidade de tomar decisões éticas e corretas. "

Desfecho decepcionante

Uma história muito bem contada e bem trabalhada. Cada episódio deixa a vontade de continuar assistindo sem intervalos.
O romance seria muito bem construído se não fosse pela clara falta de confiança entre ambos, Capitão Tew e o médico Kan. Não enchergo como o relacionamento pode ter sido desenvolvido se os dois não confiavam um no outro.
SPOILER
Até o momento em que descobre-se que o Dr Kan praticava eutanásia nos pacientes podemos perceber a falta de culpa ou responsabilidade pelos seus atos, ele até o fim acreditava que mesmo sendo contra a Lei Tailandesa ele tinha o direito de fazer o que fazia. Não sou contra a eutanásia, acredito no debate e na opinião do paciente e família. Mas o Dr Kan simplesmente se sentia no poder e não respeitava a visão dos outros.
Ele matou o farmacêutico assassino para encobrir seus crimes, inclusive sobre a mãe do seu “amado”. A série ainda mostra uma cena em que sua mãe sofria com o câncer numa tentativa de justificar os seus atos, porem só se soma aos demais indícios de que ele é na realidade um sociopata. Um narcisista, mentiroso crônico, com complexo de Messias (inflado pelas enfermeiras que o consideravam um santo), assassino em série ( até “troféu” da primeira vítima ele guardava).
O farmacêutico inspirou mais empatia que o médico sociopata .
Foi doloroso ver o capitão Wan sendo enganado pelo Dr Kan.

"Spare Me Your Merci" - Uma Decepção no Final

Eu realmente queria gostar desse dorama, mas, infelizmente, não foi o que aconteceu. O começo até parecia promissor, com uma boa premissa e alguns momentos de química entre os personagens. Porém, o desenrolar da história foi bem ralo e sem muito impacto. Não senti aquela profundidade que normalmente espero de um BL. E o pior de tudo, o final foi um completo desastre! Não consegui me conectar com as resoluções e o que poderia ter sido um final emocionante acabou se tornando frustrante. Eu esperava mais desenvolvimento, mais emoção, mais conexão entre os personagens... mas infelizmente, nada disso aconteceu. Não posso deixar de dizer que a experiência foi bem decepcionante. Com tantas outras opções por aí, essa definitivamente não entra na minha lista de favoritos.

Se você está procurando por algo mais impactante e com uma trama mais sólida, eu diria para procurar em outro lugar.

Guilty or Not Guilty !?

The main plot of this drama centres around Euthanasia. Euthanasia becomes the unsettling heart of a moral dilemma that challenges both of the characters Kan and Wasan's values. What begins as a search for answers soon turns into a personal battle as Wasan, a police officer is introduced to confront the reality of mercy killings and whether or not they can be justified. His growing closeness with Dr. Kan adds an intriguing layer of complexity, blurring the lines between love, duty and the harsh realities of death.

For me, this drama wasn't about uncovering the truth or catching the killer but about exploring the human cost of decisions that challenge life itself!

Tor and JJ delivered flawless performances. Tor's portrayal as Dr. Kantaphat was PERFECT! He brought a compassionate yet a chilling presence, the enigmatic doctor whose motives and choices remain shrouded in the mystery. At the same time, JJ as Wasan was subtle yet powerful. The turmoil and inner conflicts of a man torn between his duty and his feelings for Kan were delivered beautifully by him.
Both of them navigated the complexity of their roles really well making the ethical questions feel personal and real. The acting in the last episode was FLAWLESS especially Tor's.
The chemistry between them was so palpable! The tension, those gazes, the unspoken desire!! Their love story was not the main focus, I like how it was kept minimal but enough! The pace does bother me a bit, but considering the 8 episode run time, it can be managed.

While the emotional depth and acting were undeniably strong, it isn't without flaws. There were moments where characters just decided to overlook logic and reasons. And also I felt lapses in the police investigations distracting me from an otherwise gripping narrative. While as a viewer I understand it is to push the plot forward, but those unnecessary blind spots in the investigation sort of bothered me.

Overall, the balance between love, guilt and moral dilemmas makes this a good watch from start to finish despite its minor flaws. Recommended if you liked medical thrillers ( I would categorise it as thriller xD) and a bit of moral complexity, this is worth checking out.

Morality and legality do not always go hand in hand.

Surprisingly coherent storytelling that does not go into preachy territories - truly presenting different perspectives on a complex subject of euthanasia. What's even more amazing is the satisfying ending that makes perfect sense. No, it's not a sarcasm. Ending that I find to be the perfect for both the characters themselves and the themes the show presents. Euthanasia is not a simple topic to discuss since it involves so many conflicting moral and legal aspects.

Is euthanasia the same as murder? If not, what makes it different? When it's a valid option, and can it even be a valid option for any patient? Should politicians have the right to decide when and how we die? Whose suffering should take priority - patients' or their families? If the family is not ready to part with their loved one, should they have any say in deciding if euthanasia should be performed? How to determine if the patient is capable to make that decision themselves? So many questions, no concrete answers. And that's the beauty of this drama.

While the dialogue heavy moments shined the most, the crime aspect could have been improved. Did it bother me how bad the investigation was? At times, yes. But at the end of the day, it was not a crime detective drama, it was a psychological thriller heavy on drama. Realistically speaking, many things did not make sense, but also realistically speaking, I did not care.

Similarly, the romance came out of nowhere and many times I laughed about the validity of leads feelings. And yet, it still hits hard when it needs to. Maybe if the drama was longer, so they had more time to present the relationship in a more evenly paced way... I guess they did what they could with the time they had.

For the performance, Tor in the last episode? On fire with his acting skills. I had to rewatch a certain scene 3 times because I loved his delivery so much. I do not think there was a weak link in the cast - everyone executed their characters in a perfect manner. Yes, I talk to JJ through screen a few times to "put his eyebrow down", but at some point I just started to see it as his charming point. Maybe I was brainwashed? Still, a heavy subject like euthanasia requires skills to present it in a respectful way, and I do think Spare Me Your Mercy achieved just that.

Overall, a great watch. Both entertaining and inviting some reflection to form our own stance on the subject. It knew when to bring back lighter tone and some cute romance, and when to get serious when the scenes needed.

How To Get Away With Murder...?

The police finally got the bad guy, but at what cost? AT WHAT COST? Also, I hate flowers. If it wasn't for those damn effing flowers, I wouldn't be sobbing into my Christmas wine. That being said, my bags are pack, imma meet y'all in hell, cuz I know I'm not the only one who wanted him to get away with murder, then get the guy as well. I even made a list in my head on what he could do/say to get away with it. And, that 'I Love You' at the end was just cruel. Merry Effing Christmas I guess.

Listen, the moment we found out the doctor was guilty I knew we weren't going to have a happy ending, but I still held on hope. I would call myself stupid for having hope, but not while Police man Thiu was literally suspicious of Dr. Kan but still moved into his house, and ended up falling in love with him. Poor dude played himself so bad. But at what cost? Giving us five seconds of happiness only to take it away with that heart-wrenching confessing scene! Tor and JJ, the two main leads, did so well, I felt every emotion and cried when they did. I kept screaming, 'Child, will you keep quiet?' the more the doctor talked. Like, stop confessing dammit!! Then of course, I foolishly waited for Thiu to stop the car and take off those cuff, even though I knew... WHHYYYYY?

We need a second season where that one female doctor, his accomplice, breaks him out of jail and Thiu decides the law sucks and they move away to start a garden business somewhere in a remote village in the coast or something. Cuz this ending hurts so much.

I had a lot of questions throughout this drama. Was Dr Kan wrong for what he did even though the patients asked him? Was the law wrong for not legalising it like the doctor said? Yes, we can argue that taking someone's life no matter how you dress it up, is wrong, but with the amount of pain those people were in, and knowing they won't survive anyway, was it still wrong? In the end, the doctor did cross over that line that kept him in the morally grey area, cuz of what he did to that one pharmacist boy toy. This drama was very thought provoking when it came to the topic of Euthanasia, and the beliefs of the characters. I kept wondering between the law, Dr Kan, and the dying patients who was right? On the side of the law, they only saw right and wrong, Dr Kan saw it as showing mercy as a doctor and putting an end to a suffering/disease nothing could cure, and the patients saw it as a way to end their endless pain, and for some, unburden their families. No matter how I thought about it, I'm still not sure what side was right and which, was wrong. This drama tiptoed the line between wrong and right so well, at one point, the line became a circle.

Anyway, this drama was short, but amazing! And although I wanted the doctor to get away with it, cuz those people asked him too, in the end, for what he did to that boy toy doctor, I ran out of excuses as to why he should be set free. Still, I'm sure if given a few more days, I can find some reasons to justify his actions... cuz, he gave himself up, so in the end, was he truly that bad?

What's funny about me wanting him to be innocent is, I spent the first two episodes convinced the doctor is guilty and should be arrested and sent to Azkaban or something. Then halfway through episode 3 I started finding excuses as to why he's super-innocent and should be given the 'most merciful, goodest person award.' I need help, dramas are screwing up my morals. No, really, this was my reaction for the first three episodes.

First episode:
ME: OMG, that hawt doctor is suspicious, he did it!
Second episode:
ME: Yep, the doctor did it, he did it, he did it, arrest him! Throw him into a dark jail.
Third episode:
Doc Kan: Yes, I did it. I super did it. I am very guilty. I done did it.
ME: Whhhhhaaaaatttt? I'm shocked. But I thought...wow, you really did it?
*Doctor Kan shows up in that brown outfit on this birthday, him and Thiu being all lovey dovey*
ME: I mean... everyone gotta die someday, imirite? I say the doc is innocent, he's a saint.

Anyway, long story short, great drama and amazing actors. Their portrayed brought the story alive, and I'll recommend it to anyone who enjoy a good drama. I am looking forward to more from the cast, especially Tor and JJ, they did such an awesome job in their roles. One of the best dramas that came out this year. Go watch it if you haven't already.

Merry Christmas.

BL OF THE YEAR!!!!

With just one episode, Spare Me Your Mercy delivered everything and more.

The BL delivered in just one episode, perfect acting, the BL photography is incredible, quality, a million-dollar script, just the right amount of suspense, perfect soundtrack, only Sammon could deliver BLs with such quality.

I'm anxious to know what will happen in the next episodes (which will be 2 episodes per week).

The series has everything to be one of the best of the year, if not the best of the year.

I think the actors are new to the world of BLs, but they've already started with a heavy BL (very good).

unique premise with a great start

Overall: I appreciated the premise and production value; however, I thought there could have been improvements with the plots/characters. Adapted from the book Euthanasia: Spare Me Your Mercy by Sammon which I haven't read and I reviewed this series on its own merits. 8 episodes about 45 minutes each. Aired uncut on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/spare-me-your-mercy-episode-1-1e3q3w4ts14?lang=en_us and cut on One31 YouTube channel (not in Japan, Korea, Taiwan or Thailand) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXopbKxiivxrgJk-EvQLFVdakJlFviiix&si=aaqj7i0CX2sAeIVP - the first episode cut version was about 1 minute shorter than the uncut version.

Content Warnings: there were several major ones in the first episode and in subsequent episodes, but I kept this review spoiler free

What I Liked
- unique premise
- mystery element
- countryside setting
- discussed the ethics of someone making choices about their life, including at the end of their life
- production value

Room For Improvement
- the first scene as a character set up/voice over exposition dump, subsequent exposition dumps
- stupid characters/actions that felt "because the writer said so"
- reveals happened too early
- chemistry felt hot/cold, wasn't sold on the romance aspect
- the open ending
