would say i'm left speechless, but that would be a lie. this for sure has been one WTF moment after another. will start easy, didn't want or like Yuki being the first one to make a move. didn't like the dude from the start, but he has been genuine in his affection and relation with Ying Ze. even if a bit misguided he was trying to do good for the one he loved and it backfired, for reasons he couldn't comprehend - i.e Ying Ze's zero self-worth. so the one that Needed to step up and come hat in hand with a peace offering, let alone apologize was Ying Ze(!), Not Yuki. his saying sorry after the fact - when those old clothes weren't even the real reason for his going mental, is a bad omen for things to come. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************speaking of harbinger's, seeing Li Gong sitting across from Ze Shou's father at the start of the ep, was an indicator we will get the tedious self-sacrificing trope. where one half of the 'ship' gonna demolish the other, all cause they love them so much they gotta break them - literally. so they will move on to something better as they deserve - like talk b.s. makes little to no sense and yet writer's of these moronic drama's, can't help but reuse this idiotic cliche. ****************************************************** and if that wasn't enough, was feeling genuinely sorry for any unsuspecting female that would get Li Gong as her blind date, cause the dude gay and just cause he isn't with Ze Shou doesn't mean women will fill that void - this taking us back centuries and she would be nothing but a beard and i'm seeing red with this stupid plot - but then we get the owner of the bar who i guess also needs a beard(?) as i'm sure she's gay - but what do i know this has left logic at the door, so whatever...

one hell of a turbulent ep - so many complex emotions. Ying Ze is too stuck in his ways and the bad part, he is comfortable as he is. so until now Yuki's existence let alone his moving in, getting near him has already been more of an upheaval then he can take. but he suffered in silence, cause there is a part of him that wants Yuki and what he has to offer, and yet the predominance side of him likes his boring hum-drum life. he is sure that the excitement that exists with and for Yuki, will dwindle down to nothing, like it happened with his wife. and he will end up as before - alone. *******************************************************that's why he doesn't want what is his - his own space to be changed with or without permission, it's like a safety blanket. cause deep down, he is unsure of how capable their relationship is of lasting. this is sad and yet realistic. self-worth can't be taught it has to come from within. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the main pair's conflict thankfully was from an outside source - glad they well grounded as a couple, they had a shaky start but when a problem arose they presented a united front. which indicates this pairing might do better in the long run - i hope. the father's reaction was understandable - cause he was blindsided and yeah we all would want the parents to be all accepting, loving and caring individual's, but they human and thus not perfect - also his reaction other then shock was also an accumulative blow-up with everything else going on in his life (his ex wife dying) etc... so he lashed out - which might not have happened in normal circumstances

well this was a very fluffy ep - full of happy bunnies, rainbows and unicorns or the calm before the storm like i wanna call it. but as a die-hard pessimist i get suspicious of ep's like these... let alone we not a stones throw from the end. which can go either way, considering we got 2 couple's and have to say the writers haven't followed any rules, so idk how to predict what the end will be for either pair. but cute all the same **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also like that Ze Shou is the more domestic of the two, and keeps trying to feed Li Gong - considering how one sided their relationship was until the big confession, it's great to see and makes their ending up together, that much more acceptable to me (as pointed out, until this change i didn't think Ze Shou was worthy of a bighearted person like Li Gong).

ok had to pause just to "ask", WHY didn't Ze Shou help Li Gong?!? idk how Li Gong knew where to find both moronic siblings (unless he got a GPS tracker on Ze Shou) But that isn't important at this moment, or how he turned into Bruce Lee. what is, is WHY Ze Shou turned damsel in distress that needed to hide behind her man?!?*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also was so looking forward to seeing Akihiro Kawai (from See You After Quarantine?) and even his partner (Lance Chiu) but those cop caps obstructed the view of that beautiful face, pity. but at least got to bask in Aaron Lai's beauty (for a few sec's) Hank Wang on the other hand, could take or leave considering wasn't a fan of his character in Be Loved in House: I Do, heck hated that BL . but watched it cause of Aaron, so of course was happy to see him again. short but sweet *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************the side story, like everyone else mentioned has zoomed forward plot-wise. i still don't get why or how, cause Yuki is more in-love with himself then with others. he's pretty transparent that way, so the fact he charming the pants off Ying Ze (literally) suddenly equate to love?!? with a Don Juan like him - really? ok. lets believe it cause that's how it's written. *********************but for one talking about being boring and stuck in his ways, to automatically ask "what r we now" just cause he woke up in the same bed with a guy he become acquainted with a sec ago, is a reach. oh well, at lest they funny (even though i doubt they mean to be)

Ying Ze was the saving grace of this ep - not Ying Ze & Yuki (still find Yuki dochey as a MOFO, dude can't help but flirt - women, men, anything living should pay homage to douche-boy ) but Ying Ze is turning out to be totally sweet and he looks so confused about Yuki's flirting - it's kinda adorable. also thought he was attracted to him, but maybe it was just curiosity (btw Yuki doesn't look half or even quarter Japanese's - just saying). **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the main's (⊙x⊙;) Ze Shou hasn't redeemed himself in my eye's, but his apology brought a tiny fact to my attention. yeah Li Gong hurting, but he has been constantly enabling Ze Shou, anyone else in his situation would find ways to distance themselves, from their unrequited crush. so even though i still think Ze Shou a douche that is milking his relationship with Li Gong. Li Gong is equally at fault for this situation. so it is what it is - as of now happy romance material it aint

reading some of the comments thought i would like/enjoy this ep i didn't. i don't like Ze Shou, as time passes it seems like he is playing with Li Gong, he keeps getting touchy feely with Li Gong but the second Li Gong puts his hand on him, he brushes him off. why?!? why this push and pull? ***************************************************************************************************plus what i like even less, it seems like Li Gong is more or less in the role of spouse, he providing/giving/caring in almost every way for Ze Shou - and other then joke around Ze Shou doesn't have to commit or do anything in return - so nah unless he does something really big to make-up for being a total douche, his funny man act is getting old and he not even seem that good of a friend. ********************************************************************************************************************************personally from what i've seen (and this been going on for over a decade) think Li Gong deserves better. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************Yuki hasn't gotten any more likeable - that whole scene between him and Ying Ze and his daughter was weird - he a weirdo and his stoic, cool guy act is stupid, especially when it's acting aloof that in that scene, it was like WTF is this dude's problem, can't he act normal?!? and that kid is a spoilt brat that hasn't been educated, she not once say "sorry" or "thank u" but sadly this side plot feels like flogging a dead horse. so the plot-hole seem countless and redundant to point out

i for one doubt Ze Shou was that drunk, he didn't remember kissing Li Gong, both times - idk maybe he isn't ready to come out or even understand the reasoning behind his own actions, that's why he acting oblivious the day after. but from my POV he aware of what he is doing, just not ready to acknowledge it. which i get and yet don't like, cause it isn't fair to anyone - let along a good person/friend like Li Gong, who is really the only person he can rely on. ****************************************************so really hope there is some development with them, cause i feel really bad for Li Gong - he is hurting and unable to distance himself from the source of his pain and confusion. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************had a feeling the Bar owner lady was Ying Ze's ex and that's why she disliked his laundromat - but guess not. either way if i was him and i opened my shop to that pile of garbage, i would've called the cops not tried to clean that sh*t myself - he too passive for my liking... *************************************************************************************************************************and Yuki too full of himself, i get there people think he hot, fine different courses for different horses, but when he walking about like he the sh*t, that just rubs me the wrong way and i'm starting to really dislike the douche

read a lot of good reviews for this, so hoping this is good. personally happy to see Shi Cheng Hao (the one playing Fu Li Gong) from HIStory3: Make Our Days Count. he was just a aside character there, but considering how cute he is - hard not to notice. so glad he got a drama of his own. ****************************************************************************************************for a 1st ep this was cute, introducing all the mains and showing other players that will add to the drama. personally not really into the 2nd couples looks (yeah shallow of me ), so their story - can take or leave it. but maybe their acting will be so compelling, will change my mind. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************know it's obvious to the eye, that in this Li Gong is already aware of his feelings for Ze Shou, but considering how Ze Shou reacted to Li Gong's date going smoothly, have a feeling that even he on a subconscious level is "into" Li Gong. and as long as they r together 24/ he doesn't have to face his true feelings. so waiting for that to develop.****************************************************************************************************************************************side note - i DON'T LIKE how Ze Shou treats his sister. i get it's supposed to be cute and funny. but i have a things about hitting in gest - it still freakin hurts and so it aint funny╚(•⌂•)╝

i'm glad Minato keeps putting on the brakes and doesn't get swept up in Shintaro's hormonal haze. which given how attracted he is to him, i get how easy it could be to just give in. but i guess cause of his own experience (which was hinted at in the previous ep's flashback of his high-school-days) he is weary of being in any type of 'ship' where there is a huge age difference. even though wonder is he gonna reject Shintaro in the next ep, cause he knows they don't have a future - cause it didn't turn out differently with his teacher? or cause he still can't get over that teacher and hopes that now that he is of age, he stands a better chance?!? **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw had a bad feeling about Tomoya (the beautiful kid hounding Shintaro) but now have a feeling, he to is gay and finding out Shintaro is gay - he just wants to befriend a like minded individual.

this a frustrating ep - we start of with that "caring" grandmother that is treating Lukchup like he a baby, which some will think is sweet. i think it's overbearing and counterproductive. that moronic curfew, like he freakin cinderella - he a man, NOT a child. her afterwards saying "i aint gonna live long" isn't the point - he an adult that needs to be independent, Not live under her skirt - whether she alive or not, is Not the point! *****************************************************************************************and from there we have another "genius" Ram, get he thinks he smarter then his friends - thus he disregards anything they say. how many times they warn him about Namning? has it penetrated that thick skull? he supposedly smart right - then can't he figure out how it looks, him hanging with her while making cow-eye's at Lukchup? he mad that Lukchup showed up and is with Paitong - double standard much? (ノへ￣、) ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************thank god for Paitong, cause if it was up to the other two morons in that entourage, he would be at Ram's feet the sec he saw him across the room - this "romance" is lacking and that's putting it mildly Aish! btw i don't get why Paitong's older brother would help Namning in any way, shape or form to hurt Lukchup. that whole scene was so weird. but it got weirder as Ram to the "rescue"~(>_<。) only to drag Lukchup and berate him with that whack speech, and if the crap he was spewing wasn't enough Lukchup added to that b.s, by promising eternal submissivity - why?!? o(≧口≦)o **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************WHY couldn't he have a backbone??? WHY not counter with what about u hanging with Namning, who was draped across ur arm the whole time. u came with her and yet u have a problem with me doing likewise with Paitong ugh this freakin frustrating! the level of stupidity is infuriating to watch - Lukchup can't help fall over his own two feet trying to reach/worship/kiss Ram's ass ugh - this far from a fun, healthy love story but what's new in BL-land?!?

Yong Hee is as good a mate as he was in the written version, glad Tae Sung has got someone to turn too, as he the type that tends to bottle everything up and that is never good for anyone. his confrontation with his mother was more evasive considering what she found out - more running away then dealing with the situation. hope it doesn't backfire in the next ep (but as it the last) doubt it will amount to much. *************************************************************************************but the leads chemistry is a joy to watch - the actor being so comfortable with each other makes it that much more enjoyable

the start shook me,😳 was like "there's no way this not a dream sequence" - but dream sequence or not, that was hot also liked that Tae Sung didn't wait for Hae Bom to remember on his own, but confessed (the perks of this being short) n glad Hae Bom verbalized his thoughts - until now their lack of communicate has only brought them both isolation and loneliness. *******but Tae Sung cornering him was Not the way to go, especially if he cares for him, so glad the mother came in to put a stop to that mess. even though her not talking to her son about that, was a bit weird - the day after she all smiles like nothing happened (the minus of this being short ). like the end where Hae Bom not only rushed to confess, but get's over his fear of hurting Tae Sung's mother. with all due respect to Tae Sung's argument - Hae Bom making such a swift decision in a blink, isn't logical considering who he is (personality wise) and what he owes Tae Sung's mother for taking him in - but we in a rush to cover a lot of ground *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************read someone saying that in BL's guys so fragile the minuscule amount of stress makes them fall ill and they need to be taken care off, by the one pursuing them, but wont get any "sponge" bath's here now is this was Thai... o(≧∀≦)o

both Toh and Jao ￣へ￣ morons getting jealous cause Toh's mother touched their bf's she got a grumpy man of her own. who ironically turned out to be a bigger moron then both combined bleedin getting jealous of his wife appreciating good looking guys, and he taking it out on poor Nuea - what a crazy bunch o(≧∀≦)o *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but have to say the situation with Daisy and Intouch was a let down - yeah everything back in its right place etc... but the issue was brushed aside. as i knew would happen - Daisy and the whole issue that caused her breakdown deserved more then the rushed patch-up job we got at the end. but most of the side couple's fell to the side lines. guess we can be grateful cause the mains (Nuea & Toh + Shy & Jao) got a worthy, heartwarming, worthy, satisfying, blissful ending (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) really couldn't ask for more it was perfect! **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - that scene where Toh's dad saw Nuea "tutoring" Toh OMG talk about 2nd had embarrassment wanting the ground to open up... so wouldn't want to be in his shoes (⓿_⓿) *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this was a great drama (not always perfect) but it was as close to perfection as any other BL has come... there were a ton of stereotypes broken. so another cliché shattered in the last ep - usually one's parents/mother asks the "Top" to "take care of her son". as if we talking about a baby that need's handholding, not an adult in a grown-up relationship. so seeing Toh's mom tell him to also take care of Nuea - was a breath of fresh air! both his parents blessing/advice was awesome! ************************same with the switch and that's all i'ma say about that (●'◡'●) *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this drama was such a breath of fresh air, i am gonna miss it. Everyone did a bang-up job and made this a joy to watch! for sure a favorite, let alone a rewatch!!! Thank You & Bravo!!!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

well Halleluiah, Jao thawed it's great that in his heart Sky is the "star" but the cold act was getting tedious to watch. so seeing that whole beginning scene come down to him finally showing Sky, he cared and wanted him as much as he was "wanted" felt relieving to watch. all of Sky's hard work paid off finally （；´д｀）thank frack - btw i so didn't except them to be the hotter couple in this ep - talk smokin... felt like i was intruding on their privacy (⓿_⓿) ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************get Toh doesn't want to hurt Kong, cause other then the fact that this is the 1st time in his life (probably) anyone idolizing him. he doesn't want to hurt someone he feels is an "odd duck" like himself. but the sec Kong insulted Som (who was defending him) he should've stopped trying to handle Kong with kid gloves, and made some boundaries VERY clear; like Kong should know better then to try and insult his bff's. and his "fan-boy-ing" should be toned down and not impose on his personal time with friends, family or his freakin bf ( ˘︹˘ ) there is being sweet and considerate and then there is being a pushover. he didn't come off stoopid - so yeah am HAPPY - delighted that Nuea insulted and put Kong in his place. but Toh can stand-up for himself and wish they wouldn't got the tedious way of "i need my man to defend me, cause i'ma fragile flower - as the bottom" idiotic cliché! ********************************************************************************************************************************so kinda happy Toh found out in the next scene (the plus of this coming to an end - no dragging the plot out) and Kong turning into a "bunny boiler" so excepted - kinda hilarious. Toh needs to wake-up "we aint angry" pssh b*tch wakey wakey - stop deluding urself and stop trying to act kind, when u dealing with psycho's. but so ironic the whole group couldn't put that crazy in his place?!? a bit of a let down. even though considering the issue made out of Toh's "dirty secret" i guess we needed to make Kong a non-issue. as the focus would be on the mains. ******************************************************************************ironically i thought that would be the nonissue. but fine and i get both sides, Toh is a realist and a pessimist - it's not that he doubts Nuea or his affections, but he knows nothing last forever - of course he wants it to be the case, but this is just taking precautious in the worse case scenario. it doesn't mean he is planning for the end - *********************************************** so Nuea needing reassurance's that Toh not planning on dumping him. cute and all but a bit of an overreaction considering that wall - like dude someone got a whole wallpapered with images of u and u think they planning for a future with someone better - whom?!? a clone of u pssh plz ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - Intouch just popping up like the whole "scene" with Daisy having a breakdown didn't exist, isn't just weird it's lazy wrapping up sub plots "cause we at the end". same with trying to pair Som with Tor like seriously? DON'T - that a disservice to the character's after the journey we've all been through with them, they for sure deserve better! so if there is no time rather u leave them be. if this gets a sequel give them time - but this rush job looks/feels BAD!

reached the end - astonishingly this drama in-spite of humongous hurdles, let alone plot-holes, zoomed by. but back to the ep, how maniacally narcissistic r u to say "u never betray Tharn" after all the things u have gotten up too (⊙o⊙) Lhong bat shit crazy, so was happy when Thran went back home to 'lick his wounds' and didn't lean on him. Lhong's "i'll always be there for him. but he never wants me.." is a case of 'if i can't have him, nobody can.." - freakin nutter, now more then before am 100% certain he's been sabotaging All of Tharn's 'ships' too-date. so find it ironic everyone keeps telling this snake, how much they appreciate the fact he always "there for Tharn" (ノω<。)ノ ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Thorn going to question Type is cute, but Type just sitting playing mute - totally frustrating. why keep Thorn out of the loop? maybe he could help. cause i still doubt Type means to actually break-up with Tharn. but guess we needed so suspense a sec from the end meeh just frustrating to watch character's turn mute. thankfully Type gave in - not that we got to hear what's what. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************applaud Tar for telling Type the truth, let alone showing him the clip of the rape - but what came out of it?!? poor guy has to relive that sh*t just to help Type 'out' Lhong, but it doesn't help him, not with head-moron Techno sitting there after viewing the clip and questioning if Tar's "faking it" (after seeing how Tar looked and reacted to the confrontation) how stupid can that moron get?!? that was adding insult to injury after everything Tar has been going through. and i was infuriated that Type as a victim, couldn't offer more support to another hurting soul. he just interested in his own ass - i.e his situation with Tharn and Lhong. while Tar in-spite of everything could think of another, begging Type not to break-up with Tharn - this so freakin sad. *******************************************************************************************************************************************as per usual the real victim's get pushed to the sidelines, as long as the mains get together. the fact that real issues r just used as filler to fluffy up the plot and then left open or ignored, as if they have no significance is infuriating to watch. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************but kept on in the hopes will find one redeeming thing till the end - Type confronting Lhong, go to see the dude that's been violent, a short fuse from the start of this, punching everything in sight. suddenly when he needs to actually fight - just takes it? and from a beanpole like Lhong??? and the ones on the side lines, just sitting around watching while Lhong chokes Type out ? until his last breath?!? **************************************************************************************************************** everything that follows felt like the only thing Type and Tharn were talking about were, themselves 😒 everything revolved around their asses and no matter what or whom they talked about, it ended at their own two feet. everyone that got hurt cause of Lhong and Tharn, was collateral damage, their pain negligible. with all the evidence they collected, if they really cared (had a bleeldin conscience, and were really sorry for everyone that suffered, just cause they got near Tharn) they could put Lhong behind bars and get justice for poor Tar (for all the poor hurt souls). that would be a major step in Tharn putting action behind his words that he was really/actually sorry. let alone enable Tar to start healing, as he would get affirmation that he was an innocent victim (which is needed as he still carrying that sh*t around in Love by Chance, which is a few yrs after this mess - how heartbreakingly sad). but the people involved r too self-centered to think that far, and as long as Lhong stays away from the pair the rest could burn?!? *******************************************************************************************************they could care less as we see scene after scene of their bliss - not happy with this "conclusion" their happily ever after - could care less. same with Lhong find comfort in his sisters arms, like f*ck off with this halfassed ending - and after watching this. yeah not boring, but far Far FAR! from perfect. this an average BL at best, and i'm being generous
