Go-Ya

You're right, Ming fell in love with Joe "on the side", but he didn't want to admit it (he wanted power over Joe) and still believed that Tong was the one he loves. However, I don't know if it was really love for Joe that drove Ming to do all these shameful acts, or if it was fear of being alone. He knew that Tong had already become completely inaccessible to him (due to his marriage to his sister) and Joe was the only person he had left. If Ming lost Joe, he would be left alone because he had no friends and the only person he could trust (his sisters) was to start her own family with the object of his long-term feelings. So Ming clung to Joe, but I don't know if it was truly out of love or out of fear and the wounded pride of the narcissist he undoubtedly is.
I'm really excited to see where the next episode takes us, and I admit that I would like to see Joe and Sol together, but I know that's not the direction the series is going.

Japan is very specific and Japanese TV series and movies are not for everyone. I think that you need to understand a little and get to know the mentality of the Japanese, their values and rules, as well as their approach to LGBTQ community issues.
Serie promised to be very interesting, but it seemed to be lost in time, but I'm not losing hope and I keep watching.

the series that started my love for Japanese series and dramas. I absolutely love it! Amazing chemistry between the main protagonists and fantastic acting!

...just boring and weird and no chemistry between the main characters.
