Is Dare You To Death, not great? I mean, yeah, kinda. It’s got a real low quality B-movie feel to it, which I won’t lie, I actually really enjoy personally but I know not everyone does. Point is, it’s painfully clear that DYTD was made with like 100 bucks, a camcorder and a dream.
So I think it’s important to remember that DYTD was never supposed to be on 2025’s docket. That Joong said after the 2025 lineup gala back at the end of 2024, that he had been really concerned when there had been no work offers for him and Dunk in the upcoming year after The Heart Killers had done so well. So he had actually sourced the novel himself, brought it to the company himself, and asked for it to be his and Dunk’s next project himself.
GMMTV does not treat all their talent equally, which is basically the worst kept secret in the industry atm. A lot of really talented artists get overlooked yearly, and whilst a lot of artists are just content to take on MC gigs and fan meets for most of the year, some are not. Which is why you have people like Joong, who works so damn hard for his job, his partnership with Dunk and their fans. He is a damn hard worker, and the fact that we got DYTD at all is actually all because of Joong,
The man is a sweetheart and deserves the best, it’s unfortunate the company doesn’t seem to agree.
