In 1999, 11th-grader Dan transfers to Saint Lawrence’s, an all-boys Catholic school, while his father undergoes treatment for terminal brain cancer. His mother passed away when he was seven. Dan bonds with Brother Anurak, the school's dean and psychologist, who tries to cure Dan's sleep paralysis, which worsens after his transfer. Dan sees a suffocating shadow in his dreams, which Brother Anurak believes is tied to unresolved issues with Dan's father. On his first day, Dan sits at the desk of Trin, a senior who mysteriously vanished the previous year. This sparks a fear among the students. Dan befriends classmates Nai, Josh, and Cha-aim, a student from Saint Mary's. Together, they investigate Trin's disappearance while helping Dan confront the shadow haunting him.

Reviews
1BL to Thriller or Vice Versa?
At first, my fujoshi heart was all aflutter for some fresh BL content, but six episodes down the line, I found myself spiraling into a rabbit hole of thrills and chills instead.Not a moment of fast-forward was needed through the saga: it's a wild ride through the eerie and the unknown, with narratives that grip you, suspense that keeps you on the edge, and a raw delve into the realm of mental health. It's a murder mystery adorned with a rich blend of folkloric whimsy and literary allegory, each scene more captivating than the last. This series is where the tender allure of BL meets the pulse-racing thrill of a mystery, all wrapped up in a cloak of cultural and literary elegance.
a mystery/thriller series that tried something different
Overall: I appreciate that this series had a unique premise. This is more mystery/thriller instead of horror/gore, there are some very heavy topics and things shown. Aired 14 episodes about 45 minutes each on GagaOOLala. Make sure to watch the entire post credits scene in episode 14.BL content: I'll put this in a spoiler comment
Content Warnings: there are some really heavy topics, see my comment with a spoiler for the full list
What I Liked
- unique premise
- blended different elements well
- acting
- liked in episode 2 how Dan sought communication from Nai
- a few sweet moments (including the friend cuddle)
- production value
Room For Improvement
- unless I missed it, 2 characters should have been shown being arrested by police but the writing seemed to suggest that their own miserable lives were bad enough (but they should have been arrested)
- how much Josh & Nai believed Dan who they had recently befriended stretched credulity a bit
- where was the teacher at the pool???
- I dislike that the school priest tried to force forgiveness
- open ending
