Objectively seen, this was bad, and yet I couldn't stop watching. Don't ask me why, I can't tell you. The main couple and the side couple were a mess, the acting was off, the plot was ridiculous, and still, here I am, totally sad it's over. The actors were all very good looking, I'll give them that.

Pat had the patience and understanding of a saint, the desperation was real, and yet I still found myself rooting for him, no idea why, because I found Elyes unbearable most of the time. Maybe it's because there's no one in the world who would tolerate him, or so I thought, until in the last episode, Kim turned up and confessed to him. What was that about?

Talking about poor Kim, I felf for his character the most. He was handsome and kind, and yet they used him purely to make Pat jealous. He had no other purpose in this series.

Anyway, I can't wait for the special episode of this delightful, entertaining disaster of a series.

Edit: I think I've figured out why I couldn't stop watching this. I used to watch "Guiding Light" as a teenager. It must've rubbed off on me somehow. It's the melodramatic plot and acting, it's very soap-opera-like.

Thank you very much! This is exactly how I solved the problem.

I'm in Germany. I have a VIP, but it's blocked for me anyway. I found a solution, though, thank you! VPN set in the US and it worked.

Where are you watching this? It's blocked for me on IQIYI and I can't find a link on YouTube.

At least Johan admitted he was jealous, although not in the way North thought. I'm starting to think that the guy is just inadequate and doesn't know how to communicate affection for anyone, not just North. He's trying (not very effectively) to show he cares by picking up North, driving him around, lending him clothes, texting him regularly, etc., but no one seems to have let him know that this is not enough. North is as clueless as ever, and I can't blame him.

I think it's time for Johan to confess and tell North why he's doing what he's doing, because they won't be getting anywhere if they continue like this. I wonder what would happen if North would just cancel all of it and tell him whatever, I'll take the interest to you ordering me around for no apparent reason, now let's not see each other again.

They are still dragging Ter and Hill and this was already episode 9. *sigh*

Ouch, calm down. And yes, I can say that to someone who assumes things about me and calls me "fucking crazy", because I totally missed the part where I said I was disappointed Fadel had had time to recover. You say that it's "bad practice" to speculate, but at the same time, you claim things about me I never said. And learn not to curse at people you don't know, this is certainly bad practice.

I'm leaving here, because I certainly have no time for YOUR nonsense.

Well, Fadel kills people. Doesn't that make you uncomfortable?

The show is not to be taken seriously. We know why Style is after Fadel, he wants the car and likes the challenge. I guess feelings will develop later. As for why he kissed Fadel, I think it was clear that he felt he could, because just moments before Fadel would've cracked if the uncle hadn't interrupted them. Style wanted to just continue where they'd left before, too bad Fadel had had the time to recover, so to say.

I watch on Gaga and the episode has the same running time as on YouTube - 59 minutes and 50 seconds. I've never had a show cut on Gaga, so IMO the YouTube version is uncut.

Whoever came up with the idea to have Dunk's character pursue Joong's, thank you very much, I'll love you forever. This is by far Dunk's best role, at least from the ones I've watched. I can't resist Style and Fadel won't be able for long, too.

Bison is so adorable, I want to cuddle him.

I'm totally convinced after the second episode. What a fun, hilarious, sexy show!

This is so good, like really, really, really good. If it contunues like this, it will be the first Japanese BL I'm going to rewatch. Why can't we have two episodes a week? They are short ones.

If done right, this can be one of the best BL series next year. A crime mystery with a popular BL couple and a lot of suspense. Let's hope they will get it right.

True, thank you! I just checked and realised where I've seen the other actor - he was in I Saw You in My Dream. Still very excited!

It's PondPhuwin and this is enough for me, I'm seated. :)

SeaKeen enemies-to-lovers and the side couple from Summer Night together - I can't wait!!! It's the only mock trailer I've watched more than once so far, so this is saying something.

Yes, please. This is so much better than what they gave them this year.

This is the first time I'm really, really excited about a ForceBook new series. I'm very glad this doesn't look like a romantic comedy, but something more serious. Together with the SeaKeen and GeminiFourth series, this is the one I'm actually most excited about.

Bas is so good, an absolute delight to watch. ❤

I see some people don't agree, but given the situation, North is behaving pretty reasonably and responsible to me and given how Johan ordered him around, he was way more calm about it than many people would've been. Everyone would've lost their temper if forced to make the same cup of coffee so many times.

I guess at some point, if Johan keeps behaving the way he does, North will probably notice that money isn't what Johan wants, but we haven't come as far yet.

I can't get that mad at Johan even though I understand why people have problems with his behaviour, because the moments when he gets all soft on North make up for it, like he so clearly wanted to stay there with him while North was making the coffee and at the end, because he was honesty worried about North. He's not approaching North in the right way, but I guess that at this point, he knows North is not into him and hopes that North would start liking him if he forces him to spend time with him. Obviously, it's going to take more than just that.

Well, it's obvious how ridiculous this is and IMO this is exactly what they are trying to show. I'm sure all cups of coffee North made (with the exception of the last one :)) tasted exactly the same and Johan, being dumb and not knowing how to keep North around for longer, pretended they tasted any different than if he himself would've made them. It was an excuse to make him stay longer, and a very bad one, but North, being oblivious as hell, didn't catch up on it.

It's so funny because everyone around North (not only Ter, but also his engineering friends) are telling him Johan is hitting on him, but he's choosing to ignore it for now, probably because he still has no feelings for Johan.

Well, Johan, you can't have it both ways, you know. First you make him think he owes you a lot of money in order to keep him close, and then you're sulking because he tries to his best to pay you back. He doesn't know why you're doing what you're doing. Your actions brought him to that bar.

That being said, I adore Johan and North and their chemistry and this was my favourite episode so far. I still like North best, but Johan's growing on me, although he's coming on a little too strong at times. But they are both cute and hilarious and I'm enjoying them very much.

So Ter and Hill confessed, but are not together yet? Please make it make sense. :(
