I enjoyed it for what it is.
Overall, I found this short anthology series to be enjoyable for what it is, which is a short collection of different urban legends. Some of the episodes were better than others, Episode 3 is the worst, in my opinion. Some of the effects looked very cheap, most notably in the last two episodes those being: "Threshold" and "Birth".Nothing in the series is what I would describe as being scary, but the stories were at least interesting. I think my favorites are "Birth" (Ep. 8) and "Dimension" (Ep. 6). Dimension focuses on a popular urban legend, while Birth creates its lore.
When it comes to the sound design/music of this series, I feel like I never noticed much. There was never a sound cue that took me out of the story. I think it is most common in Asian horror to use a lack of sound to create a feeling of unease, which is done here as well.
I enjoyed the series. I will probably sit down and watch it with a friend that has not seen it.

One Of The Most Unique BL Mini-series I have seen.
This series is hard to talk about without spoiling it. Gameplay (Peem) and Jeff (Mike) have incredible chemistry together. I enjoyed a lot of the smaller elements of this series like I think one of the things I noticed and pointed out to my friends a lot is how Chapter 2 "sHe" has the "H" capitalized and not the "s" in the title card. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two chapters, but I do feel like "It" fell flat in comparison. Mike is not meant to be a likable character, I am aware, but I feel like Peem's spirit at the ending is too forgiving of him.I think the best part of this series is the chemistry between Gameplay and Jeff. Both of them did incredible in this series, which if I am not mistaken is both of their firsts. Some of the acting did look a bit "goofy" at times, like Mike's reaction to Peem at the end of Chapter 1 "He". Peem also, in that scene was quite funny, Gameplay menacingly tilting his head. Other than that moment, I don't think I was ever taken out of the story by the acting.
The music is mostly Jeff's music, which is also seen in another series that stars both of them "Ingredients". Jeff has a very soothing voice so it was enjoyable to listen to, Comedy in particular is a beautiful piece.
I really enjoyed this series, I think it might be one of my favorite BLs, it is definitely one of my top rated.
