well unlike everyone else in the comment section, i aint that moved by what i saw. if anything disliking Ki Tae already, at first i thought he didn't notice or recognize Lee Wan. but that isn't the case - worse he knows who he is n for whatever reason is enjoying his discomfort. maybe this a way to tease - personally not over the moon at this approach. not when u see how vulnerable Lee Wan is... especially after he gathered his courage to confess his feelings to his bff n (m guessing) was rejected. but everyone gaga over this so hope this gets better - **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but will say good looking guys (both of them) n so wasn't expecting that baritone to come out of Lee Wan, what with that baby face.

have to point this out, Ji Hyun a freakin hypocrite (❁´◡`❁) he kept busting Joon Pyo's balls, about not bringing girls back to their room, but he can bring his bf?!? rude lol ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but fun end ep (it was a bit kitsch, but that's how i feel about the kumbaya vibe in general). get this a wrap-up, so everyone makes peace with everyone, there no hard feelings etc... i guess some will go gaga over it, to me it feels a bit contrived - ************************************************************************************************************************************************i enjoyed more the funny moments - which thankfully there were quite a few of; from Ji Hyun waking up frantically searching for Jae Won, only to find him buddying up n drinking coffee with goofball Joon Pyo. or Ae Ri figuring out that Ji Hyun & Jae Won r finally together. ***************************************************************************************************************darling Yoon Won finding a job let alone turning out to be a cougar, was the hilarious cherry on top of this fluffy ep. but all in all a wholesome BL. wont say it's perfect cause the end is a bit fantastical, considering the toxic, possessed baggage Jae Won carrying around - but in fantasy- land this was a good end to a sweet romance.

loved this ep for so many reasons. Ji Hyun got great friends in Ae Ri and Joon Pyo not only caring, but give good advise. and speaking of good advise, even Jae Won got his dose from his therapist and then Ji Hyun's boss. about time - was getting freakin heartbreaking watching him give Ji Hyun's back those longing, yearning looks. ****************************************************no matter how much he pushed him away, the sec he turned his back - u saw Jae Won's true feelings written all over his face, so happy how this ep ended - about time ***********************************************************************************************idk what else is instore, as we still got one more ep to go, but fingers crossed there no more surprise's installed for us`(*>﹏<*)′ ****************************************************************************************************************************************btw i still stand by my previous POV, that Jae Won a broken individual, n doesn't have anything to offer, as he needs to invest all of his energy in healing. but this a fantasy, not reality - so stand by what i wrote in the paragraph above - wish them a happily ever after in the next ep with no more hurdle's

Jae Won getting jealous of Ae Ri at the start was kinda hilarious, but really love Ae Ri (another wholesome female character), she's pushing Ji Hyun out of his comfort zone. he needs someone to be a friend, help him to just let loose once in a while - act his age. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw reading some of the comments guess am the only one who found this ep hilarious, think until Tae Hyung put his foot in it, mentioning Jae Won younger sibling - or a lack there off... this was really fun n funny - ********************************************but at least now we have a vague picture on Jae Won's background/story. but don't get what the psychiatrist meant, by "not crossing the line" what line? how could he get closer to the friend that comforted him, n which line wasn't to be crossed. feel like something got lost in translation. ************************************************************************************************also get Jae Won getting treatment to stop being a people pleaser (among other things), but as he still the same he hasn't made much progress. Tae Hyung runs off at the mouth cause he knows Jae Won wont just laugh it off, he will keep quite n enable him. anyone else would put him straight when he was sober, make it clear that he needs to mind his words if he still wants them to remain friends. Jae Won just avoiding confrontation - not a great indicator in reality *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: the reason Jae Won feels comfortable around Ji Hyun is cause his naivete, inexperience n innocence reminds him of his brother. thought so from the start, this sad yet very understandable.

well hell, was wrong we do get a kiss, i.e we continues where the previous ep stops... and yet (maybe just me) but the impact i would've felt - the jolt, would've experienced if it took place while in the scene in ep 2, was lacking in impact seeing them actually kiss here. ********************************************************************************************************************Jae Won wasn't drunk, so Ji Hyun wondering if that's "how he is" doesn't compute, but kid is confused. ironically he's not the only one, just he not running scared. how ironic that one is confronting his fears, hell bent on conquering them, while the older one rather run away from his.... **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw the American running that pub is a moronic plot point. he doesn't speak Korean, like really?!? but he can run a pub in Korea, how? how he get that job/permits to run that place?!? make it make sense ￣へ￣ it's just ridiculous. but guess we needed to show the fact Jae Won comes from money n can speak English?!? ok ( ˘︹˘ ) still calling b.s. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************so got Jae Won ghosting Ji Hyun (even if didn't like it) but didn't get Ji Hyun's 180 after asking his bff about kissing, why was he so elated after that convo? nothing Joon Pyo said was that enlightening IMHO. same with not getting why he was acting so skittish with Ae Ri, her trying to be-friend him isn't weird, here he's acting like she's a stalker. what, he rather be alone?!? though he wanted to make friends¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not be a loner, guess he just wants Jae Won as a "friend". but again, that ending idk about anyone else, but someone ghosting me after kissing me and i aint smiling back at him, when he suddenly comes around - very weird IMHO *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************must mentions: love Yoon Won, she an adorable character n i get why anyone would want to be around her. really loving every scene with her. n now get the weird old woman we saw for a sec in the 1st ep, she Jae Won's psychiatrist (as the "drugs" she mentioned, pretty sure were prescriptions she gives him) but why/what is going on with him - more then what we see, too much left open.

always thought there were only 5 senses (touch, sight, hearing, smell & taste) so where did 3 more come from?!? had to check that out, before even starting this; 6 & 7 r vestibular & proprioception, they are connected to the tactile sense (touch). so guess by the end of this we will find out what the 8th sense is?!? curious... ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************back to the BL, interesting, piqued my curiosity... cause yeah here were moments that sparked my interest, but it was basically clam - too clam on a whole IMHO. ***************************************************************************************************have to say seeing the "friends" surrounding both ML's didn't make me elated at watching. have a serious dislike for people that r leaches, that just stick to someone cause they can exploit's them n enjoy even less enablers that know who their "friends" r but still for whatever reason, keep them around. instead of kicking them to the curb. so watching the whole thing unfold, was just annoying to me - but the mains minor interaction's (with each other) gives me hope, that this will be worth the watch **********************************************************************************************************************************************just wish there wasn't an ex in the picture ( ˘︹˘ ) she the bitchy type too boot ugh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the only plus point i see, is that this is the end. mentioned this in 1 of my past comments, don't use serious subject just as plot-point to get the mains together, then just make those into non-issues cause that is disrespectful to the intelligence of the viewer, let alone to people who have gone through similar stuff n r living with the scars - but am the odd one out (ノへ￣、) ********************************************************************************************************************************************can't even say this had potential, just wish they focused on the mains, without adding the abusive uncle (what Qi Zhang couldn't have been crying in the rain cause it was his father death anniversary?!?) same with running for school president, that came to not. won't even mention the rush mess that was Ray & Ah Jian, as Ray needed counselling not a new bf ¯\_(ツ)_/¯same with the Ye Guang parents situation, them finally softening (that was believable to whom( ˘︹˘ )) it just took one vid of his crying - really? when they (even after watching it) Still couldn't understand what they had done wrong? everything suddenly is rainbows n butterflies?!? oh well this was... average (n being generous here) ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************hope the newbie actors get better direction in their future projects. the director has HIStory3: Make Our Days Count (among others) under her belt, so idk what the frack she was thinking by giving us this as an end product. but am the odd one out so never mind

unlike everyone else, don't like Ray n correspondingly (cause of him) don't like the relationship between him n Ah Jian. don't buy this flash love they've got n the blink of an eye (just fast-forward anything with them) as get that they only there to add spice. the mains love is an innocent, teen budding romance. while Ray & Ah Jian r an adult romance ( ˘︹˘ ) well to each their own. i think they r filler, nothing more, so not gonna waste my time watching just cause they kiss n get cozy. pity as Andy Huang is pure eye candy (✿◡‿◡) **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Ye Guang's reached a point where he's had enough, maybe being with Qi Zhang is the catalyst - anyway i get his being reckless. what can a child do? he can't hit back or leave the house. not many option for him other then lying or trying to stand-up for himself. both of his parents r ridiculous - they pompous, domineering n narcissistic, if they were as smart as they sure they r, they would know better. Ye Guang doesn't look at them with love in his eye's, he doesn't even look at them with fear - it's hatred. he didn't need to tell Qi Zhang he hated his father, u can see it. logical outcome ¯\_(ツ)_/¯(ノへ￣、) *************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw Ye Guang's mother saying "Qi Zhang from single parent family", makes it seem like his mother is an unmarried female, that had a child out of wedlock (we've seen enough Asian drama's to know how much of a stigma that carries, heck no matter where u live that's the case) if either of those adults had a working brain cell between them, they wouldn't describe Qi Zhang the way they did. but heck they don't know how to treat their own child n what it means to love, so not shocked

knowing Ye Guang's parents r Elite Supplementary Teachers on Elite Education, i get why they act crazy with Ye Guang. they can't have an average kid, they must have a genius. someone that is proof of how worthy they r to call themselves elite. if their kid falls short in anyway, how can they continue to act, as if they have the right to be held in such high esteem. ******************ironically i thought they wanted him to excel, cause he was their heir n had to be made worthy of that title, here even if he doesn't want to follow in their footsteps, he has to do as told, cause falling short, will blacken their names - he between a rock n a hard place, n as he a teen he can't do anything by bow to their demands. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note; found it ironic Xu Qi Zhang's mother talking about communication. she n her son might have a great relationship (for sure better then Ye Guang's n his parents) but can u say that Xu Qi Zhang n his mother communicate?!? if that was the case, we wouldn't keep seeing scene of her abusive brother robing n beating her son, whenever she aint around - just saying... ***************************************************************************************************************************************************n maybe am the odd one out, but i don't care for Ray - until now trying to understand him (might even get his "got a chip oh his shoulder" attitude), but doesn't mean i like him any... his hard to get behavior is annoying me, as much as seeing Ah Jian running after him - like why? plz ( ˘︹˘ ) no one worth this much work/headache

Ye Guang's parents r the reason u hear about kids/teens committing suicide if they don't get a high score / achieve high grades, this type of pressure is crazy and the sadder fact is that both his parents r of the same mind. he doesn't have a safe haven, anyone that will make life easier, will advocate for him - that will just let him be a teen for a sec. **********************************anyone will break under this type of oppression sooner or later. that break doesn't have to be 'giving up/in' it can also be in the form of rebellion (this better then, keep going n suffer a mental break). sadly he can't talk sense or stand-up for himself, logic will do no good. cause it's "their way" (considering his age) there no options of "the highway" there no middle ground, as he not independent, he can't put his foot down about anything - this sad. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************n have to say, watching Ray rush at Ah Jian, 1 fact becomes clear. this plot is played out as if there r time jumps, where there is ton happening, we just don't get to see it. so Ray & Ah Jian suddenly so close is explained in that void. doesn't mean i like this fact - as it's still jarring to watch. but as this a done deal, it is what it is. *************************************************************still think Ray is rushing at things blindly n without much thought, there is a part of me that get's the desperation in his actions. but rushing headlong at someone just cause they good to u, isn't always good. like ghosting them, cause they not ready. he good at getting angry n just bailing - he should learn to use his words n communicate, let alone listen. but he an angsty teen n this knowledge comes with time, hope he gets there...

get this the type of BL gotta switch my brain off n enjoy, but can't ￣へ￣ "love" how we always get the absentee, bordering on neglectful parents. they Never around, just so the main character's can hook-up while being around each other 24-7.but why use serious subjects if u not gonna deal with them?!? this always does my head in. use a light fluffy plot to push the mains together, u still get a cute BL. not wanting to make another average BL fluffy piece, i get. yet treating serious subject like an after thought ( ˘︹˘ ) makes this even worse (well am the only one pointing this out, so what do i know)¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ******************************************************************************************************************************************************Qi Zhang abusive Uncle that keeps hitting n robing him even when not drunk, how this a non-issue?!? why Qi Zhang keeping quite? why his mother not dealing with that psycho?!? money goes missing n she doesn't care, cause they loaded? her son comes home beaten n it's nothing? pretty sure someone like that uncle isn't just hounding Qi Zhang, but also the mother. so why they keeping quite?? their life Not tough enough - why suffer in silence?!? ****************************************************n if this wasn't enough we got the ridiculous situation with Ye Guang, his parents might not be around, but that controlling father has organized every sec of his son's life, so he wont slack n yet he can sleep over at a friend, his parents not know he not at home? convenient( •̀ ω •́ )✧ ******************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************Ray & Ah Jian's flash friendship is weird to me. get feeling sorry for someone, enough to come to their defense. but then going along to help damage their ex's ride weird, that sudden comradery felt rushed to me. but this whole BL feels disjointed, no natural flow IMHO

am sorry but have to ask, why the frack the leads so fragile?!? Ye Guang from the start keeps falling over every time there is a strong breeze. n Qi Zhang comes to his help, is this supposed to be romantic?!? n know Qi Zhang not tripping over his own 2 feet, but somehow even he comes off fragile. such a weird vibe IMHO (and No i aint saying men can't get hurt, fall over, cry etc... but here it is bordering on ridiculous ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). ********************************************************************************if u can't stand-up for urself, how u gonna defend anyone else?!? Ye Guang runs over to come help Qi Zhang, how? just his existence is gonna help Qi Zhang? *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************personally i don't get Qi Zhang putting up with that drunk uncle, i get he's family. but he was making a nuisance n i wouldn't care who he is, if he was physically trashing my mother's restaurant making a show that would prevent people from wanting to come in. let lone throwing hot soup on me(╬▔皿▔)╯ i would chase the dude with that broom, as is he was blind drunk n wouldn't be strong enough to harm anyone. why enable that scene to carry on (ノへ￣、) just so Ye Guang would come to the "rescue" (¬‿¬)plz ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************as everyone else enjoying this i guess i am the weird one that is finding this lacking in almost every aspect. oh well at lest this short so even if this doesn't get better don't have too much to suffer through ＞﹏＜

well wont say am hooked, the acting is so so, the plot is depressing n personally not liking the soundtrack any better. the general vibe is freakin morbid, we got Ye Guang with despicable parents. why have kids if u gonna treat them like they invisible or worse ur subordinates?!? his parents so busy they Never around n when they r, they just adding to his "workload" like WTF. Xu Qi Zhang faired better with a loving, caring mother but he grieving the loss of his father. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Ray has got it worse then anyone - looking at this guy sitting in drag just to please someone that treats him like he's worse then dirt, is depressing. am sure the only thing his "bf" wants is sex, enabling being used like this is just ╯︿╰ demoralizing to watch. people should know hey deserves better, heck leave deserving better - they don't deserve to be treated like garbage. n i know some have to go through hell, before they come to this realization all on their own - but not fun to sit here n watch this -****************************************************************************************************************************************btw Jun Wei with the sister complex is getting on my last nerve, like get a life dude ( ˘︹˘ ) ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note- took me a sec to recognize Wilson from HIStory3: Make Our Days Count, with hair dude a completed different person .

well this was depressing, got recommended this in the My School President BL page, n i donno why. that was so light, sweet n pure thought this would be more of the same. but this dark, gloomy n very depressing. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this more a side note; but the main guys don't look like their bio pic's in MDL and i aint nitpicking, but when their pic's r photoshopped so much that they not the same person, i don't speak Taiwanese n the subber's translation of the names differ in spelling from the info on MDL, am left confused￣へ￣who is whom. in the 1st ep instead of focusing on the plot am wondering is this, this actor - really?!? like Xu Qi Zhang being the guy crying in the rain, n the same dude/nerd in glasses - he's wondering if Ye Guang recognized him, made me LOL literally cause i freakin didn't (@^0^@) heck the only reason i knew to mention the actor/character named Xu Qi Zhang in the MDL cast list, is cause the actress playing the mother thankfully is recognizable (ノへ￣、)mini rant over`(*>﹏<*)′ **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************back to the ep - most of the relationship here r a mess, but the one i wanna talk about is Ray. feel sad for him the most - he is being asked to hide who he is, just so he can be loved?!? n given he doesn't have anyone to confide in, let alone to advise him at how wrong / toxic - mentally f*cked-up this is. i just feel sad for him - no one deserves to be treated this way!

a tough start. before anything have to say; reading a comment that said "all is fair in love and war" irritated me (get where the commenter was coming from), but the idea isn't acceptable to me! would like to think that people should try n keep a semblance of humanity/compassion in both situations. Know, it's easier said then done!! but that would be a better world, then one where people follows the rules of the saying, that is self-serving n a Very sad reality to exist in ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *************************************************************************************************************************************************************seeing the confrontation between ex-lovers, i get both POV's. when u've been with someone for a while (someone u once loved), u do things just to avoid hurting them more then necessary. but that doesn't mean it's a good idea or that either in the right. Wen out of guilt (maybe), stayed beside Alan hoping that his enabling a friendship, would lessen the hurt n his guilt. which logically backfired, as Alan subconsciously (or not) thought that the love they had, could be "recovered", if Wen's ready to stay, that means there is a chance they could recover the love they had. both in the wrong, cause neither is getting what they want, n never will. ********************************************************************************************************************sometimes u need to be cruel to be kind - Wen should've said no, no to living together, no to staying friends - just NO. but Wen tends to be manipulative (n self-centered). the more this ep progresses u see that all his actions r self-serving. as Alan was the one that loved n gave more in that 'ship' - Wen the taker, can't seem to break out of the comfy mold, even when he knows he is giving Alan false hope. ***************************************************************************************************************how many times Gong gotta advise him at the folly of his behavior? until he finally ends it with Alan? but he can't/wont look for another place, he goes from one "giver" to the next (he knows Jim will help him / take him in). he taking care of how many?!? what's one more?!?( ˘︹˘ ) this a healthy relationship?!? this love? yeah, the toxic kind(ノω<。)ノ*********************************how sad that the reason Gaipa & his mother r being so helpful, is cause Gaipa has a crush on someone who doesn't know he exist (unless he needs something). not saying Jim's taking advantage - but this still sadder then anything happening between Jim & Wen. cause both mother n son deserve better! ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************love Ming & Heart, they sweet, pure n wholesome - but what happens to Heart, as Ming planning on leaving?!? the confrontation with his parents needed to happen, cause the conditions he's living in r ridiculous. he just a teen, n has to live a long independent life. Get his parents treating him like he fragile, trying to keep him in cotton at home, where he wouldn't get hurt or sick. but that aint a life - so the big blow-up (i hope) will be cathartic
