Whal is overly possessive of Guy, weirdly when he is around his gf he forgets Guy exist, but the sec he isn't there mentally (like when he was chatting on the phone & ignoring Whal) or physically, Whal is like a jealous gf - like WTF dude. it' like he wants eat his cake & keep it too... life doesn't work that way. **********************************************************************************in this ep u can see that Thiu isn't just a bouncer, but that "character" Kenji is really hard to take seriously - dude looks like a joke, a bad one. & i thought this was gonna be light & fun. hope he whole mob angle doesn't turn the mains romance into a tragedy. *******************************************************************************************************************************side note: i really like Tul, Thiu's righthand man. he's cute

cute 1st ep, liked Guy he adorable. but i don't get Whal, does he know that Guy has a crush on him? or does he just enjoy the fact that he is Guy's only friend so the sole focus is on him?!? & as Guy doesn't have a life he will always be there when Whal want's to hang out?!? either way he is taking him for granted & if u made a "date" with a bff u don't spring a stranger on them. & then just hangout with the person u brought. if i was Guy the sec i saw that i was being turned into the 3rd wheel i would bail.**i donno yet what to make of Thiu, he's good looking but we knew that going in lol - but is more a bounce then a mafiaso, but that's coming to a conclusion from what i saw - cause a mafiaso wouldn't just beat the crap out of those "clients" he would do some permanent damage, especially after getting his palm cut. so we have to see more. ******************************************also from the description i assumed that Guy & Thiu were more then just players in the same group, the way it is portrayed i thought they used to have private conversations after they played & the others in the group left. from what there is in this ep it doesn't seem the case. there for sure aint no "...kind sister.." vibes

well this ep flew by - cause i was fast-forwarding all of it. not much to add to the fact that this had potential but fell flat somewhere along the way cause of the 2nd couple... or rather Phat & Junji. ironic that both bottoms turned into a pain in the butt. but it was a one off & it got over quickly so whatever... this a one off & a never again!

i am sitting here going through the motions & bored out of my mind - the 2nd couple might as well not exist to me as from the start Phat was an annoying character & he didn't do a thing. & after pushing Bay away cause of misguided anger. he acting like the aggrieved party - like plz b*tch. so anytime he or they were on screen i rolled my eyes. ****************************************but the mains couple doesn't exactly save this BL. they r similarly going through the motions, heck Hill is carrying that "relationship" all on his own. id k what Junji is doing - so i am kinda over this & really wish this was just 10 eps. but one more ep to go & i can't wait to check this off & put it behind me. which is a pity as Hill really carried this BL & had potential to be so much better - alas he was paired with dry wall.

maybe it's just me, but i feel like Hill & Junji r more like bff's that kiss & show PDA from time to time. their kisses r dry & Junji doesn't even make an effort IMO (what with that hand in the pocket), as is he seems too laid back in his acting (as in bored & doesn't want to be there) & his being romantic is kinda, a turn-off! it's evident that he isn't into the romantic stuff. he is more comfortable laughing & being friendly with Hill. he isn't a newbie, so what do i chalk up the bad acting to??? is the uncomfortableness cause the character is gay?!?? he needs to shake it off, otherwise he will always only be a support character. ****************************************************************************************************************************************with Phat i get he was hurt & angry at his family & took it out on Bay. but i wont lie i am kinda bored when the 2nd couple r on screen - their only plus is their chemistry, which is hot & if i noticed this while fast-forwarding... i've said enough. but i need more from a side plot, then them having chemistry & knowing how to get it on.

i genuinely don't get what the issue was, i aint that big of a gamer & i for sure haven't played any simulation games, but to me regardless of how a character presents itself, they all an A-sexual machine that can't feel - not even AI can. it has no emotion's, it's programed to give appropriate response to key word or sentence's. it maybe great at outputting the correct info/answers that will please the player. but that doesn't turn it human. **************************************************************************so logically if u have a certain character in a game, their frame of reference will be a combination of personalities let alone genders IMO... i get that gamers that were addicted to Yuka, were not exactly rational people to begin with & when they found out, they felt like it was all a lie, so their knee jerk reaction is to lash out. ***********************************************************but IMO this kinda ridiculous & i get this issue has been over blown for the drama as we a few eps from the end & we couldn't have smooth sailing until the end - still calling it b.s.*********************************************************************************same with Hill going hat in hand trying to appeal to Art's conscience - like r u kidding me?!? i know he wasn't there when Junji didn't just reject him he also apologized - i was impressed with how graciously Junji handled the whole break-up. but what does Art do, betrays Junji. yet Hill there begging Hill to think about the game he created & Junji who he loves. like r u kidding me? even not knowing a thing about Art the sec u know he didn't just f*ck his workplace over he humiliated someone that he not only supposedly loves, but wanted to get back with - this type of person deserves that kid-glove behavior? why?!???? & if that wasn't enough - all that groveling, Hill was about to sacrifice his love - like r u kidding me???? ugh frustrating ep (wont even mention the moronic attention seeking with Phat - like plz).

Mamiya is freakin adorable, really hard not to fall in-love with him, so i really hope the new guy doesn't develop a crush. even though wouldn't blame him, but i am kinda over this trope. & we already had this cliché in the 1st season, with Atsushi trying to get Sahashi jealous.

both the bottoms kinda annoyed me in this ep - took me freakin ages to sit through this, cause of their antics. but will admit i get Phat's POV, even if Bay wasn't a player, Phat having lived with his sister & mother witnessing 1st hand how men played both & how it turned them bitter & reclusive, logical that he would be very weary of getting into a relationship with a saint, let alone a player like Bay. who could change his mind in a sec & break Phat's heart irrevocably... so i got him. *********************** but with Junji, it felt like he was enjoying 2 guys fight over him. even if he knew he would never give Art a 2nd chance, for him it was a great ego massage that both Art & Hill were fighting & working so hard over him. that's why he waited until the end of the ep to go to Hill. & then too he waited for Hill to say his peace, apologize & then confess. **************************************while the whole while i was thinking that Hill deserved better & with all due respect to the fact that Yuka is based on Junji, she isn't him - a simulation game character was the one that was doing the job they were programed to do; supporting, encouraging & helping Hill - not Junji. so what if Yuka was based on Junji's personality? she was a combination of all the people working in Junji's company & on her simulation game - so going along those lines he should've fallen for & confessed to everyone in that company!

very fluffy ep - finally they communicated & made-up. am so happy for them. but i loved the fact that Jeong U reached out to Yuchan & thanked him for taking care of Han Gyeol & letting the cat out of the bag. cause of him the misunderstanding was cleared up & am happy that at last they got to go on the trip they planed yrs ago. this was really sweet

what a "great" way to portray women - they so fickle, a little sweet talking & they putty in a mans hands?!? is that what we needed to see with Phat's mother & sister?? really??? & i for sure didn't see the 2nd couple not just kissing, but going all the way before the 1st couple even became a couple... interesting - *************************************************************************in the previous ep i was wondering how the whole mission based relationship would fare in real life & we got the predictable outcome, the co-workers cared about gossip & the job getting done. the sec they achieved the main goal, the humans that were Hill & Junji, their feelings were disregarded. ironic that Hill was the one that felt guilty - when he was the last one at fault for the mess, that became of his 1st love (the pig girl was a teen crush, not a 1st love) & Yuka doesn't count IMO (am sure there someone who would disagree - but it is what it is). **********************************************************************************& if the set back to reality landing on their budding romance & squashing the life out of it wasn't enough - where they were back at step one & had to do all the hard work all over again. we got the addition of Fart sorry Art, he wanted to find himself the 1st time he was with Junji & that's why they broke-up, but now he is back only to recall he really wants Junji. ***************Junji's passiveness isnt helping the situation, 1st off he had no reason to recruit Art, not when he had other options & 2 he is cold & standoffish, not scared to be rude - but when it comes to Art, putting him in his place- tough?!? making it clear he's there for a job & nothing more, too much to ask??? especially when he is interested in Hill. so why? wanting to make Hill jealous?!?

even though i aint interested in Phat or Bay's romance, i don't get his mother & sister, if they had bad luck in relationship & have decided to stay single - cool their prerogative . BUT that doesn't give either the right to stop or gaslight Phat into staying single, just cause they supposedly care for him & don't want him to suffer a similar fate. he isn't a child, he's a grown ass adult that is mature enough to know what is right & wrong, let alone how he wasn't to live his life & with whom. if he too decided that he wants to be single after dating or cause he's A-sexual, then that's cool - bottom line it's his choice. family doesn't have the right to dictate other family members lives, no matter how well meaning they r. **************************************************& i have to say i don't buy Bay's 180, so he was a player when it came to women ,cause he was really interested in men?!??? really? if anything the sec after he slept with the women he lost interest, that means once the chase was over he was over the woman - why should Phat be different? cause he is a man or cause he is a main?!?? like plz with this writing. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************felt really bad for Hill in this ep, poor guy got PTSD from that confession, now he's reliving that trauma all over again & Junji not really helping, he a passive bystander & give the fact he was wearing the heat monitor he know what Hill's next mission is & is enjoying Hills discomfort. or so it comes off to me. ********************************************************************************btw am wondering who is paying for the date? Hill aint got money & that roof top restaurant aint cheap. so if the company is footing the bill & his confession is a mission - get existed & rooting for a fake relationship feels weird. also how far they gonna take it with these missions? what's gonna be his next one to kiss? f*ck??? & will all that be documented & fan-girled over by the people in the office??? this so freakin weird if u think about what is going on. ******************************************************& i now that both Hill & Junji have caught feelings, but their motivation until now has all be a mission to create a new game & simulation character. idk how i feel about this

as much as i am enjoying the mains back & forth, i kinda don't like how everyone keeps testing Hill cause Junji is so guarded (cause of past heartache) like i thought Hill's praising Junji, calling him perfect was ridiculous - cause no ones perfect, for sure NOT Junji. & there is this vibe as if Junji is slumming, when he is "looking" Hill's way, as if Hill is beneath him. maybe it's in my head, but until now everyone (including Junji) making Hill work hard at wooing Junji, all under the pretext of the simulation game tasks. not to mention they r monitoring his interactions with Yuka - like WTF. how this ok?!?? i get that "Boss" being the bottom, so of course the "top" gotta work for that booty - but come on, this plain weird. ******************************************especially when Hill is this innocent, nerdy, virgin that can't hurt a fly & i am sure Junji's not only the one with more experience, but given his position in the company - being the Boss! - the power dynamic is off & it feels kinda icky. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************& if this wasn't enough, we have the 2nd couple - OMG but i knew i would get a rash watching Fluke (Phat) put on the usual act of acting cute & playing hard to get, while acting docile around strangers & b*tchy towards the one that comes to his rescue - why, cause he's Q-bee & anyone wanting him, needs to be demeaned for that 'honey' ---- & i know it isn't the actor, but almost all his roles r along the same lines... the only thing missing is for him to break down in tears, cause he so freakin fragile ugh

i don't how a womanizer suddenly has no problem switching to a man, but lets ignore the logic - unless the writers r telling us Bay been with so many woman he is over it & wants something new... anyway i don't get "Boss" telling Bay to flirt with his bff without giving his bff the heads-up. also it mean's the "Boss" knows that Hill is flirting with him cause of the job - so how this a romance? when does work stop & real life begin?!? the logic is kinda out there - but i guess that's BL world for u.

another fluffy ep - like that even though it's very lighthearted there moments where real issues r dealt with - like Hill's past trauma almost popping up when Bay wanted him to dance. it was a serious issue & yet the way it was dealt with turned it comical. *******************************************************************************************************************************Junji hot & cold cat is making me second guess if he has already developed an interest in Hill, sometimes i am sure, then others i aint anymore.. but find it kinda hilarious that Hill's job & co-workers r basically helping him woo Junji.

this is light & airy, on a whole very fun & am really enjoying myself with the antic's of all the character's involved. also appreciate that even though "Boss" = Junji is a tsundere he isn't the typical archetype Japanese character - he is mellow or toned down in comparison, what makes him likeable - as i totally dislike the typical tsundere who is mean just cause... here he is distant cause of his position & cause usually people take time to open up to new acquaintances, unless ur an extrovert. so am really enjoying this.
