Neil's emotional state in the first scene surprised me. The show's deliberate pacing effectively portrays his different stages of grief, making me fully invested in his character.
The confusion on Sea's face when Neil starts to play at the music bar?... Like the boy threw down the gauntlet. Neil is basically saying, "Alright, watch me, kiddo!" Neil can't finish the song if Sea isn't watching him. I'm excited for the show to start exploring his emotional state. I want to know what is going on in his head when he's on stage and what he's so afraid of.
Liang, I can't tell if he's just oblivious or just a ball of energy. He always seems to be smiling, always out of the loop. LOL
Neil seeks validation from Sea on his singing but becomes defensive and cocky when he doesn't get the response he wants. Interestingly, he's willing to put himself in a vulnerable position to seek validation and prove that he is not a has-been. It seems he wants someone to look at him and define who he is; the man is a lost soul. Sorry, but in the scene at the university, Neil strolls around in a black hoodie. It would look sketchy if it were me. I don't get why nobody asked for his ID or anything. Also, how did he follow Sea back to the music bar? Does he have his own motorcycle or something? And how did he go unnoticed again? I don't think Sea is creeped out by Neil stalking. Hahaha, He knows he likes it! The big ass smile as he walks away. He's got such cute dimples. OMG, I love them so much !!! (06:17)
Kiddo actually switched sides of the table to take the customer's order and be able to stare at Neil. I love how this kid is acting disinterested while internally screaming with excitement at getting attention from someone they've admired for so long. It's like, 'Oh my God, I'm so happy right now, but I can't show that I'm a crazy fan, so I must compose myself. His eyes are freakin sparkling!
Neil and Liang, the bromance I signed up for. They are two drunken cuties, Haha. I'm sorry, but they are not doing an excellent job showcasing Liang's cooking skills. The ramen noodles, celery, and some sausage with basil, though it might have been spinach, food is not the specialty of this bar. People come for the music and drinks. LOL
You know Liang is Sea's best friend cause he keeps airing out his business. Sea's face says it all like, dude, shut up! Haha
Ting Fe pressured Sea to play at the gig for which she couldn't find a band.** "Girl, you messed up. It's not his responsibility to help you fix the situation. What would you have done if Neil didn't show up? It would have just been Sea on stage.
Charles Tu's glow up ... there's no denying the man is fine I don't think I'm a fan of the fast-paced of this performance I think I like the slower version of this song. I'm really impressed by how quickly Sea picks up on Neil's emotions and knows how to handle his panic attack. It's not something a lot of people can do. What's also interesting is how Neil completely trusts Sea to calm him down without any resistance. They haven't delved deeply into Neil's grief yet, but it seems like he's dealing with it on his own. Having someone take care of him might be a welcome change for him.
Now don't come at me for this comment but I actually think that Neil and Matt would have worked as a main couple as well haha
