Pei doesn't seem stupid to me & he has lived almost all of his life as a hostage in that palace, so he knows the personality of everyone. yet he thinks making deals with the devil r worth the paper they r written on? he really believes someone like Yin Zhou will keep his word & not hurt Yin Qi? like he didn't get rid of the other princes that were in line before Yin Qi?!? why is he deluding himself??? like i said he isn't stupid so i don't get the logic behind his going to Yin Zhou & making any kind of deal. so am happy that by the end Yin Qi did just hear what Pei was doing for him, but he confronted him - now they can stop going behind each others back & work together to take down the sociopath. also i really need Yin Qi to realize Zi Ming in the real rat in his household - idk why he is d*ck-whipped for the crazy prince (well i could guess) but him plotting against those that r good to him is making me see red. *********************************************************************************************************Yin Qi's sister is really sweet, so i hope nothing happens to her by the end -

idk if this low budget or what but Chinese periodical dramas cinematography is usually banging & they for sure, put a lot of effort in the costumes - impressive to say the least. the acting is good & the plot interesting, 50 min flew by & sadly i think this whole BL is gonna follow the same track - well i hope it's good from start to finish & then the only down side will be that it was too short. would hope we get a happy ending, but idk have a feeling it's gonna go the tragic route - also a favorite cliché for the periodical C-drama endings - but one can hope that this wont be too depressing. **************************************************anyway even though there aren't that many character's, was a bit confused - r all the guys the King's sons (from different mother's)?!? & if that was the case, get why the psycho Yin Zhou wants to get rid of everyone & clear his path to the throne. that's a life of a royal in that time period - so nothing surprising there. but as he is gay, is he interested in Pei cause he is attracted to him or cause he wants to use him to get at Yin Qi (cause they close from childhood). he already has a man in Yin Qi's household, Zi Ming - am sure he was the one who killed both Pei & Yin Qi at the start. so why would he need Pei too?!? ********************************************************************************************************************************************btw given the description, was sure Yin Qi would be the one to die last, as he is the one that transported three years in the past & him dying after Pei, means he would realize that Pei didn't betray him & that he loves him. guess will have to wait & see how he realizes his feelings for Pei - given now he thinks he is a traitor & not to be trusted.

what an emotional roller costar, poor Xiao Chen (& even though Lu Feng is & has suffered like Xiao Chen), idk my heart goes out to Xiao Chen more - maybe cause he doesn't vent, just suffers in silence... either way from the start of the ep i wanted them to communicate, before anything. but that isn't the route Lu Feng chose - guess he just wanted to pick up where they stopped & ignore all the bad sh*t that kept them apart for 4 yrs. but u can't just move on as if nothing happened, they needed a candid conversation where they didn't just talk about what happened, but how they felt as a consequence of it all. they needed to share how they dealt with the aftermath - what they went through. maybe then after opening old wounds & cleaning out the puss, then the true healing could start, then they would realize that they both loved wholeheartedly & still do. that their love isn't a thing of the past. but sadly that isn't how this is gonna go - which just means more suffering for the mains - *******************************************************************************************************************************************************i would applauded the younger brother for standing up for Xiao Chen & getting in Lu Feng's face - but he has a big part in his brother's pain. he just wont admit to it, so it was convenient that Lu Feng came, he could channel his anger at someone other then himself. **************************************************************************************************************************after everything Xiao Chen has been through, i don't blame him for taking time to consider giving Lu Feng a 2nd chance & at the 1st hint of disloyalty, bailing - he hasn't stopped suffering or loving Lu Feng. so starting a new, just to get destroyed again who would want to chance that. *****************************************************************************************************so get his not wanting to give Lu Feng a chance, even after he finally found out that Lu Feng didn't abandon him, that he too suffered abroad. btw Lu Feng graping Xiao Chen didn't help matters any. **********************************************************on that note, dude really has a problem with understanding that force isn't love - this isn't the 1st scene/time where he forces himself on Xiao Chen & then is shocked that Xiao Chen's reaction to getting assaulted is aversion & the need to flee - if u watch Lu Feng's face & notice his behavior, he thinks that's how u make love. genuinely don't get how his mind works - but i also read that a person who cannot understand that force isn't love may be exhibiting controlling or possessive behaviors stemming from deep-seated insecurity, fear of abandonment, or a lack of emotional maturity & given that father of his (the lack of a mother figure) it explains a lot. complex sh*t - still not ok & dude needs therapy. but explains a lot.

bummer we didn't get another chapter of Eui Ju's musing, so not that funny of an ep but so endearing, that she went in search of Ji-a at least someone cares for that kid - she way better then Eui Ju's stuck-up bff. i seriously don't care for her & if Eui Ju is the one to come ass-kissing i for one am gonna riot - she doesn't deserve Eui Ju as a friend IMO. not when she's gonna toss her aside for a man - a man that doesn't even know of her existence. like r u serious?!? freakin pisses me off the more i think about it. *************************************************************************************************************************************Ga U Su is another good human, wish all teachers were like him - even though when confronted with the loan sharks he should've called the cops not transferred the money. they not trust worthy - why get involved in the 1st place?!? or after giving them the money go to the cops & file a complaint - i for sure would've been asking Ji-a why she took a loan in the 1st place - something was hella shady. so i aint shocked the ep ended the way it did. but love how Eui Ju didn't think twice & ddn't just reach out to Ga U Su, but then went to his friends. all really good people - still wondering why not contact the cops as they pretty much kidnapped Ji-a. but it is what it is

everyone swooning over the NC scene & i guess it's about time Phop reap some rewards, after everything Khun keeps putting him through. but must say i just about had enough with Khun's thoughtlessness - dude is like a headless chicken. i was happy when he finally decided to confide in Phop, asking for his help. but he still somehow ends up making a mess of things. & i have to say that constant smile is taking me out - it's like a child in his 1st play enjoying himself too much he forgets he needs to focus/stay in character - he smiles all the time & it doesn't fit the mood that is being set by the scene. couldn't the director make him stop?!?? get this is his 1st role (as a lead) but he has acted before - no guidance? guess just me noticing & finding this freakin annoying. *********************************************************************************************************************anyway moron should be smarter, but he isn't - so idk why i keep expecting him to be... but anyone with eyes can see that Prim is lying - the big question, why. is she the master mind & Cherd her subordinate? that's the vibe i get - for sure i know she is playing the victim & for someone that comes from the future, Khun should be more suspicious of everyone. not to mention her acting isn't that convincing. **********************************************************************************************************also Phop is deluding himself if he thinks his mother loves him so much, she will accept Khun as her daughter-in-law, wont be shocked if both his parents kick Khun out after beating him within an inch of his life. given the time period & their statue, i don't see a different/better outcome for them. but when ur in-love u can't think. Jom might be heartless for how he is treating Kaew, but he is smarter & his way will keep them both alive & not get them kicked out of their respective families.

Only Friends: Dream On Episode 12

well this started off "great" i really have come to loath Jack - he is a friend to whom? Dean?!??? if he was any kind of friend, he wouldn't f*ck him & f*ck with him head the way he did at the start of the ep. it was a goodbye f*ck & he knew full well he isn't in a place where he can forgive the past & get over himself - cause sorry, i still say that Dean isn't guilty of sh*t & doesn't owe Jack a thing, let alone an apology. i seriously needed Dean to sober up & tell Jack to f*ck off. *******************************************with friends like Jack, who needs enemies?!?? Jack is the worse type of human he will mess with ur head & then claim it's out of care & u r the one not understanding his pure intentions - miss me with this type of b.s. freakin sociopath! **********************so the tone has been set & it wasn't any better not for this couple - i wish Dean listened to his sister in the previous ep & ditch all of the momentous from their relationship, including Jack. the dude is toxic & nothing good can come from having him in his life. but love is blind & sadly for whatever reason Dean's attracted to abusers that treat him like sh*t. so it is what it is - the fact this last ep revolved around them & turned them into a main couple, was such a farce - this a happy ending? for whom? not for me. think the only couple that i enjoyed seeing, were Rome & Raffy who have come a hell of a long way from the start & their hard work & growth was a balm to the soul - now that's a happy ending. ***********************************************************wish i could be as elated about Tua & Arnold, idk but they so bland & uninteresting - even their drama was a non issue, that got solved in a blink. ********************************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************enjoyed seeing Sand & Ray for one last time, but as was thinking of Boston this just made me annoyed that his character was used & then tossed aside - what was the point of brining him on ??? he was underused & as i said at the start with Dean & Raffy we really didn't need a sh*t starter. personally i think Boston is interesting enough to have a show of his own, where he is the star - i would so be there for that, but it is what it is.. the end & wont say i want more - it was fun while it lasted, but i doubt will be rewatching this ever. the main plu,s this was the 1st time i really loved the sound track - it was banging.

what a roller costar of an ep... 1st off Lu Feng wasn't scratched he was freakin stabbed (with a broken bottle at that) so my 1st & main question - why was that f*cker still walking around free?!? given who Lu Feng is, or rather his father is, he let his son get stabbed & didn't seek justice??? if that f*cker would've been in prison (for stabbing Lu Feng), he wouldn't be around stalking Lu Feng, seeing how close he is to Xiao Chen & he for sure wouldn't have an opportunity to take a pic of them kissing - getting this whole mess started. their honeymoon period wouldn't have been cut short, in such a brutal way. the fact he got his head bashed in (kinda) isn't enough, as he got compensated. *****************************************************************************feel sad & sorry for both mains, cause their families - the people they trusted the most Xiao Chen's brother & Lu Feng's sister betrayed them, basically sowed the seeds of doubt about their relationship & the person they love. that's unforgiveable, as they don't realize they r being gaslit by people they think r one their side, so freakin sad. *****************************************ironic that the brother & sister turned out to be the main bad-guy's in this ep - i get that from their POV they thought their white lies where helping their siblings move on, from a abnormal relationship. but they didn't care how much it would scar, hurt & damage their siblings - as am sure this was trauma inducing for both. also the irony, am sure they both will resent each other thinking they caved & broke the promise they made ugh...

wont say i wasn't hooked by the end, but i was kinda annoyed that we get a retelling of the Tiger, Nao story & the fact that we didn't see hide nor hair of North, didn't make me any happier. also form where did Dan pop up?!? & maybe i am remembering wrong, but i think Nao's personality was Dan in the previous season. still given the back ground Tiger's got, Nao needs to be a fighter to deal with "that" mess. *****************************************************************************************************also given Tiger's nightly activities, i know he's gonna get Nao (& maybe even his family) in trouble - u can't start gang wars like some moronic vigilante & expect to go about ur life like normal. not when ur face is uncovered & u even give ur name - not when ur gonna move into a house in the same arear, that gang hangs out in - that they have basically "marked" as theirs. but guess that's one thing he isn't doing - thinking. his every action is a reaction with little to no thought - the big question, who is gonna get seriously hurt. can't wait for the next ep -

Wishing upon the Shooting Stars Episode 9
0 people found this review helpful
this was kind of an ironic ep, Xiang Yong was finally getting his wish - to disappear & he like us thought that he got his wish at the start - nope. now that he was finally in a place where he found peace & love he lost it. or did he?!?? as we got 4 more eps to go am guessing there is a way for him to regain what is slipping away. his bff ironically is the same he wished for something & got it but wasn't interested in it, so much so he made Hamaguchi work for it & he kept pushing wanting to see how far Hamaguchi would go to show that his love was real/true. now he too has ironically lost his wish - which i don't get cause in his case it was to find love. so why the restart in his case?!? so he would learn to appreciate the love that was offered?! & not take it for granted or take advantage of it??? interesting yet depressing ep.

pretty sure i aint wrong - but idk if i am right... as i haven't watch all of the roles Park Ji Hoon has played - but everyone i have watched, he is this depressed, sad, somber character & weirdly i feel bad for the actor, that has to mentally always be in that head space, pretty sure it isn't easy to brush off at the end the day... ***************************************************************so was sad that by the end of this ep Seong Jae failed his quest, but guess this could be smooth sailing from the start, there need to be hurdles for him to overcome. so can't wait to see how this develops - how he remains in his post & who the guy that washed-up was & how he is connected.

this was funnier then i thought it would be & am thankful the bullying scenes got over fast cause i couldn't stomach that sh*t for too long. so it's good that Seong Jae ended up under Dong Hyeon & not with those morons that started bullying the sec they smelled fresh blood.

this ep was depressing - maybe cause i thought Azuma & Kuji living together was an indicator to a start of a relationship. that they were finally together. & even though i knew Kuji needed to move as his brother was gonna get the house - i wished i was wrong but he indeed inherited the house & Kuji didn't put up a fight, knowing that his brother wasn't just moving his family into that plce but was planning on demolishing it. & by the end the mains were parting again - depressing! but i guess the preview was the light at the end of tunnel. who knows as Azuma was crying will have to wait & see -

Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami Episode 6
0 people found this review helpful
i find them so funny, especially Kaji - Fukami might look like a weirdo but the really weirdo is Kaji so maybe t's fitting that they have fallen for each other. also didn't expect everything to get resolved so fast. at least there's no beating around the bush, both know what they want & r going for it. refreshing really.

the couple play acting was funny but then it turned sad, especially when u saw that they were completely out of sink - each wanting something else. jumping into bed with a stranger isn't the way to solve their problems but it is what it is, can't wait to see how this progresses & if the "bottom" goes through with it. will the main couple survive or what...

sh*t i am freakin sad this ended - yeah perfect ending to a really sweet, heartwarming BL. the fact that at the start we got He Jin spazzing out, gave me hope that whatever would come wouldn't be devastating - for sure the rest of the ep wouldn't be everyone mourning the loss... which could happen, if anyone remembers HIStory3: Make Our Days Count, now that last ep blindsided everyone & also broke out collective hearts. so it was touch & go, even though i didn't get a vibe we gonna lose anyone - not in this ep - thankfully i wasn't wrong & Chen Ke didn't just survive, he thrived. given the fact that both mains confessed in words not just actions & to see them actually living their "happily ever after" ugh - warms the heart & makes it melt... *********************************************************************************************************************************this was so freakin wholesome & endearing, even Ouyang Han redeemed himself by being a true friend & making it clear to Chen Ke was was & how it is with Yu Lei. the fact he also got someone that cares for him who can complain - this was too short & ended too soon. loved this really did & that's why i am (ironically sad). ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: wish we knew what happened to the nut case He Jin - dude totally lost it or was that the alcohol talking?!? maybe there is info about that in the novel - might check it out when i got time. heck might just to get more of the mains couples.
