the title is already forbidding & then u read the description & u know u gotta get tissue boxes ready... idk if i am ready to be depressed - but curiosity is getting the better of me & wasn't that off, there is a sad vibe throughout this ep, ironically cause of Xu Yuan not enough everyone around him is calling him a Jinx & treating him like he got the plague, that moron of a sister is also spouting that same nonsense, when (from where i am sitting) she is more of a Jinx then her brother. this b*tch throws a book at someone's head & then has the audacity to ask her brother if his Jinx powers r acting up - like r u stupid??? was wondering even before she came on screen, if she was "slow", guessing from her behavior it's more a case of a spoilt brat that is just self-involved. if her mother is sickly & they don't have a father - where she got the balls to ask for anything from her brother, that is a full time student?!?? she isn't a child - why add to her brother's burden?? why not f*ckin share that burden???? seriously didn't expect to get this p*ssed at a character in the 1st ep ugh. but already detest her & would be happy if we don't see any more of her... wishful thinking on my part i know. ***************************************************************************regarding Zhan Wang am getting that he is all alone almost neglected by his father & doesn't have a mother - the only mother figure he had was his grandmother & as her always telling him he would always have a home to come back too - he assumed that meant her home & not her. as he was a child it's easy not to understand the meaning & just hang onto the words. also that house is the only thing remaining off her so i get why he wants it back. also cause of how lonely he is i aint shocked he doesn't want treatment, he has no reason to fight for to stay alive. so he just wanted to spend the time he has in a place that will bring him close to the only home he knew - freakin sad. wonder if his father will take a break when he needs to burry his son. or then too he will be too busy - some people shouldn't be parents. *************************************************************************side note: given the scars on Zhan Wang's back, was his father abusive or that's from his vigilante work?

well that was depressing, from the sec her father showed-up i started to tear-up, i felt so bad for her & that ending just made me cry. i don't get the rules in Korea but from what i know usually to look around u & take inspiration from ur surrounding's, maybe u need to blurr the reality from the fictional character more - maybe she didn't do that. but i seriously think it was much ado about nothing. not the students, they will make something out of nothing just for the hell of it. they need to find a punching bag to take out they own inadequacies on Eui Ju was just the new target, before her am sure it was the girl from the halfway house. ********************************************************************************************************************************the more annoying part is that b*tch who cause of jealousy is gonna get away with this sh*tty behavior & will never pay a price. heck i would've loved if Eui Ju's friends beat her up & not that random girl that chose to run her mouth. even Ga U Su chose to remain stoic instead of asking her WTF she was about. but i guess he didn't know what to say & as she is a student chose to keep quite. bummer that he & Eui Ju gonna pay the price - just hope t wont be too steep. *****************************************side note: i was really looking forward to the guy's reaction to reading Eui Ju's BL, as much as i was to the added revelation that Ga U Su knew & even encouraged her. but it wasn't as funny as i wished it would be - on a whole a bummer of an ep ugh

how funny; in the previous ep Xiao Chen got cockblocked by his bff's & in this ep Lu Feng got cockblocked by the younger Yichen & his better half, & ironically Yichen got so turned on he went all the way with his bf & poor Lu Feng had to sleep on the sofa lol. but this just goes to show that the younger brother is a bit weird, when it comes to his older sibling - & i've read people saying Lu Feng is jealous of the brothers close relationship - no he is not(!) he is annoyed cause Yichen doesn't treat him with civility, he is a total mean-girl that purposely get's between the couple & then gets all lovey dovey, touchy feely with his older sibling, while smirking at Lu Feng - making sure he knows that he is closer to Xiao Chen then Lu Feng. given how the younger sibling acts, anyone wouldn't like them & want to push them away from the person they love. ************************************& have to say, i feel bad for Qin Lang, even though he kinda brought it on himself, as Yichen is a spoilt-brat, he's been babied at home & Xiao Chen spoils him still, no matter how he acts or what he does. then when he finally ends up in a relationship, he comes across another enabler that gave him a job & allows him to act like a diva at his club & be rude to costumers, then he pampers him at home, cooking & taking care of him. ********************************************************************************the fact Yichen act's like a spoilt brat that rude & obnoxious towards someone he profess to love, it's cause he knows he can do whatever & Qin Lang will be the one coming hat in hand... was Yichen justified in getting jealous & angry, yes - was he justified in throwing a tantrum? nope - cause lets face facts, he might be younger then Xiao Chen, so the pressure wont be on him yet, as Xiao Chen is 1st in line. but sooner or later his mother is gonna start pestering him about marriage. so why act childish & not try & communicate?!? ****************************************************************************************************************other then this hiccup everything was very light & positive, pity this wont last & here Lu Feng is ready to give-up everything for Xiao Chen. the big question is, will he give-up everything & then also get dumped by Xiao Chen??? talk about adding insult to injury & i get that Zhuo Lan has a crush on Xiao Chen, but why the animosity towards Lu Feng?? their father & they eat together & even if they didn't end up bff's they can be civil towards each other no? what am i missing??? that vibe was so weird

had a feeling after all that build-up we would get an open ending & yet having had a feeling it's still freakin annoying not getting a chance to see who "won". also found it kinda absurd & ironic that the reason Choi kicked Se Ok out & destroyed her life / shattered her dreams, was cause she caught on that he was planning on killing Kim Myeong Jin when he operated on him. kinda anticlimactic realizing that, that was the whole reason he clipped her wings; he wanted her to fly but not to high & not to get away from him. from the start it was clear that both student & mentor were nuts. but this a new level of crazy lol - am just glad nothing happened to Yeong Ju.**************************************************************************************************this was a wild ride & great acting but when u really think about it, there wasn't much of a plot & given the ending it was like a balloon deflating. it was fun for a one off unless there is a 2nd season & then i might rewatch cause this wasn't boring.

a good ep - the honeymoon period was cut short cause of Phop's father's additional wives. ironic how even though they r guilty of (idk what) but they got away with "murder" by diverting the attention to Phop & Klao's forbidden romance. & given how i thought Phop's parents would react it was mild in comparison for the mother & the father. given that time period & their statue their reaction was measured & volatile. they didn't fly off the handle - it shoed that they loved their child even if they couldn't accept the person he had fallen in love with. *******************************************************************************but on that note i was kinda surprised how accepting the servant's where Phop & Klao's relationship, again given the time period it wouldn't be shocking if their POV wasn't any different then their masters. but still it was sweet & fun seeing them all "fan girling". **************************************************************************************************************************i have a feeling the one behind the opium trade is Harn's father Wanna's Uncle - as is i suspected that Harn was the rat the informed Cherd about the fact that the drugs weren't burned but stored. but this just a guess so idk if it's the father & son involved or just the father or it's someone else. time will tell - but was right in suspecting Pim, just was worn in that she wasn't the master mind behind Cherd, she was just lying & that's was she seemed suspect. 3 more eps to go, hope we don't get all the answers in the last ep & it's a rush job

ima be the odd one out as Yan Zhi's annoying the f*ck out of me, Yin Qi keeps telling him to stop, not to trust any deal with the Crown prince, what does this moron do?!? 1st chance he gets, he is scheming behind Yin Qi's back & running to the Crown Prince. i have said this time & time again, the Crown Prince isn't reliable in the least & Yan Zhi who has grown up in that palace, knows 1st hand how evil the Crown Prince can be. yet he trusts him to keep his word??? why??? why is his word worth more then the word of the person he supposedly loves?? he is treating Yin Qi as if he is stupid ******************************************side note: i feel like most viewer's got a hard-on for the Crown Prince cause he's a "freak in the sheets" i am over him & his psychotic ass behavior & BDSM was never my cup of tea- he's not attractive or cute in the least IMO. but i enjoyed him slapping Zi Ming, as he is a character i detest even more then i do the CP

Eui Ju should've told Ga U Su the real reason she wanted to stop writing, then i doubt his advice would be the same. idk why she chose to say it was cause of homework or lack of time... she's basically setting up herself for a really painful fall. & idk why she thought talking to that stuck up b*tch, mean girl would work - has that girl every been remotely friends or kind towards her or any of the other girls in that class? (other then her click & the other smart girls??) i didn't notice, if she was. if anything she was a bully & a mean girl the only times we saw anything of her. ********************************************************************so why Eui Ju think there was any point trying to approach her idk. also the transfer student girl is a bit of an airhead & she usually is so disconnected from all the other girls in that class, even the group she hangs with. but the sec the pompous ass approached & told her about Eui Ju writing a BL - why wouldn't she give Eui Ju the heads up? or say something??? am sure then Eui Ju would've been forewarned if nothing else. now i am dreading watching the next ep - which will be the mean, jealous b*tch spilling the beans & trying to destroy Eui Ju, cause Ga U Su is friendlier to her ugh - but wont lie am curious how the guys gonna react reading how they got portrayed in Eui Ju's BL lol

1st off Choi's assistant (the woman i thought was a private detective) has Kim Gi Yeong (Myeong Jin’s sons) blood on her hands, her trying to be a good Samaritan & help the father didn't help the father & destroyed the son. but she will walk away without ever being held accountable for her idiocy. *********************************************************************************regarding the rest; i have to say i don't get why Choi decided to send Alan Kim, he isn't sick & he wanted to "work" with Se Ok, with no patient to operate on - what is the point of him showing up?!? guess he didn't go cause he thinks his condition is inoperable? or he so pissed that the cop - Yang is now messing with Se Ok that he needs he needs to "clear her way" before he dies?!? so freakin weird - don't get it

Min was asking to be taken out, wonder how Choi caught on & guessing Min was ready to sell out Se Ok, cause now he had Choi. Kim Du Bong the Faction leader that Se Ok operated on in the 1st ep, told her to get rid of Min ASAP - she should've acted sooner. but Choi as per usually came to clean up her mess (even though with the dogs i agree with her, that was ruthless & uncalled for - the poor animals). still great ep - guess Choi really saw himself in Se Ok, maybe a child figure & that's why he is acting like the father & helping her so much, regardless of how ungrateful she might come off to him. he must see it as her not being mature enough & still in need of his guidance. that's why he allows her far more then he would anyone else. that's why she is still alive lol. ********************************************************************************************************************only 2 more eps to go & everything is closing in on them, wonder how this gonna end; will Se Ok operate on Choi? will she save him or will it be too late?!? will the cop catch Choi or Se Ok? will the innocent Yeong Ju survive - somehow i know Se Ok can take-care of herself & don't feel the need to worry about her, Yeong Ju on the other hand is too naïve, vulnerable & sweet/softhearted for his own good. it would be really ironic if by the end, he would be the only one that doesn't make it.

am glad the mains finally stopped beating around the bush & communicated. if u ask me the one that lost the bet was Zen, his rushing to meet Ryo the sec he contacted him, not waiting for him to come back was his admitting defeat. but Ryo is so infatuated & worried about Zen's earlier comment that they wouldn't remain friends (after the bet was over) that he couldn't see the wood for the trees. same with Zen stopping him, when they started making out cause he needed a confession where Ryo told him that he was special, that they were more then a bet & Ryo didn't hold back, but was candid about his feelings. either way, i am happy that they finally r clear about how they both feel about the other. cause it was touch & go at the start & Zen was rubbing me the wrong way - i got that cause of the bet he was on unsure ground & didn't know if Ryo returned his affection's, so he was being this indecisive in his behavior - but it was getting annoying. *******************************************but this not the end, as we still got 5 more ep's to go so guessing the guy with the bob gonna come in & rock the boat & as he is after Ryo, Zen is gonna kick up a fuss - or so i think. but i might be wrong - we will have to wait & see

wanted to love this, as was wanting to watch something not complex - but this is all over the place, the fact there so many freakin characters that i started to zone out of who was who & who was against whom... other then the main couple - who r cute in their own way. the rest r kind of a mess. the Zeemai, Zo plot was annoying - given the fact that Zo is using Zeemai cause Zo knows his looks get him the treatment of a king. so how that a romance make? especially when Zeemai is getting bullied of by Zo's fans & taken advantage off by ZO himself?? didn't like that & if that wasn't enough, we got the weird hook-up between a teen (BB) & a restaurant owner - like WTF was that?!? he took advantage off a blind drunk teen & then literally tossed him aside (like so much garbage) the morning after - this funny? cute? ******************************************************************so yeah, i am gonna bail before i waste any more time on this, was happy cause of the mains - specifically Pie - who i've seen in season 1 of Fourever You & loving his story in season 2 of Fourever You (that just started airing). the little i saw of him in the 1st ep, shows he is talented as this was his 1st drama. am happy that his 2nd project is such a success.

will start with the 2nd couple, cause i must admit the 1st couples plot is confusing - kinda... love the turnabout where Wan Zhe is the one pursuing Hamaguchi. as is i felt the unevenness between them the sec Hamaguchi admitted to his infatuation at the start. maybe cause of the wish, he was almost obsessed & blindly devoted to Wan Zhe more then he was in-love in the normal sense of the word. he worshiped him & was ready to do anything for him, even at his own exspance & the part that bugged me even more then this blind-love, was how Wan Zhe not only took Hamaguchi's feelings for granted, but how he took advantage of him & started treating him like his personal slave. maybe some found that fun or funny - me, not so much. so i like the turn about where it aint the opposite extreme, but there is a balance of them meeting in the middle. love how organic it was & how it built until the confession & then the kiss - it was really sweet & heartwarming. really enjoyed their part of the ep. *************the mains; ugh - i loved the conversation between father & son, pity Xiang Yong's wish has come true & everyone has forgotten him... even if the muscle memory / mind’s memory? - the gut feeling that something isn't right or rather like an eerie sensation of something that's supposed to be, yet isn't... persisted throughout this ep. it was bittersweet watching Xiang Yong getting used to the new normal. even though i wonder as Xiao You never existed & was made up by Wan Zhe, who doesn't even remember Xiang Yong, does this mean Xiao You gonna disappear like Xiang Yong? & when i say disappear i mean vanish, fade, evaporate, dissolve, and dematerialize into nothingness??? just me wondering ?? **************************************************side note: i don't get why we needed Hao Wei's client to pop-up & give him a panic attack in this ep? just so Xiang Yong could take him to his special place & go over the relaxation technique he came up with as a teen?!? ok i guess -

poor Tiger, i get & yet don't get his family, given his age i guess he can't cut ties not when he has no way of supporting himself - that's if they would let him go & pity that mother isn't capable of standing up to her husband. so what if ur born into the mafia, not everyone needs to join. the older son is there to take over the father's place, why not let the younger son do whatever he wants?!? heck there a lot of men in the mafia that want their kids to live normal lives & not follow in their footstep, cause they know how ruthless that world can be. here Tiger's father is a douche, cause i am sure he is the one pushing his older son to initiate the younger one, into the organization. not that that means i like the older brother any - heck if Tiger was ruthless & interested in that life, i would've wanted him to aim the gun at his older brother. then no power struggle & he would only have his father to deal with. yeah i know a bit farfetched lol but that's much i detest the older brother. ********************************what i am enjoying in this story is how organically the romance is building, u can see the progression of how they met & hwo they went from enemies to friends & now they r getting even closer. yet it isn't romantic & i love how natural it feel. also totally love Nao's family. idk what the story is with the mother's 2nd husband - but they such a warm & welcoming group, wasn't shocked that Tiger just couldn't compute on the 1st night he sat at the dinner table. given him family dynamic am sure he was shocked at what he felt & saw in Nao's house. am happy he is now part of them but sad cause i feel this escape will be short lived as that family of his aint gonna let him go. the worrying question is how & if Nao's family r gonna suffer cause they have taken Tiger in... hope not -

Min Hyeon Ju is the 1st guy both Choi & Se Ok r fantasizing about murdering, but haven't acted on.... yet - kinda hilarious. & like him am also wondering; why is Choi going to these extreme lengths to help/ keep Se Ok safe?!? is it just so she will operate on him? or is there another reason?!? hope we get answers soon. ******************************************************************btw the woman that help Choi (guess she's kind off a detective, fixer type) idk why Choi continues to employ her cause she isn't just doing her assignment's, she actively poking her nose where it isn't meant to be. like following him & seeing him get rid of Kim Myeong Jin, saving & having him put in that mental hospital - like why? cause of her stupidity his son now is lying in ICU. also if she had Kim Myeong Jin's ring how that Mental hospital manager have it on his hand?!? weird - either way Choi needs to worry about her IMO.

until that ending i was sure Se Ok got it wrong & there was something else Choi wasn't telling her, but nope he a psycho just like her & she clocked it correctly the sec he asked her is she would be ok getting rid of the body of the guy that assaulted her. wonder why he did that to that guy he called a friend, as he didn't just mess with his life (putting him into a mental institution & then going to visit & basically rub it in - what he did to him) but he also destroyed that guy's sons life & she couldn't just move on with his life & how that ended - freakin sad. **************************************************************************************but one thing is very clear Choi cares a lot for Se Ok, otherwise he wouldn't plan how to get rid of the cop that has the evidence & knows that Se Ok owns Rottweiler's, that can land her in prison. if this just cause he needs her to operate on him? maybe - a lot of questions left unanswered
