“Runaway” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)
“Runaway” is a Thai GL drama that mixes horror, mystery, and romance in an interesting way that feels authentic to watch and is exciting as well as adventurous. The story follows Winrawi (Miusic Praewa), a woman who becomes haunted by a dangerous spirit and is told she only has 168 hours left to live. As time passes, she must face her past and find a way to survive. I feel that this concept is really new and interesting as far as the GL genre is concerned. The scriptwriter and director really did well in exploring this genre, especially in a sapphic romance where, most of the time, the women are portrayed as soft and gentle.

In my review of the initial narrative, I said that the box had been opened and wondered how it would be closed. Well, close it they did. But how they choreographed the closure is where the flaws surface. The story begins to fold onto itself prematurely. Subsequently, it did not flow very well throughout, mainly due to the way the series was edited. The story became too choppy and felt more like we were watching snippets or snapshots of scenes rather than a flow to a story. Simply put, it just did not connect well or consistently.
