sadly i have come to the realization, that i don't really like Ji Won. his playing coy & shy just rubs me the wrong way. the constant long silence's r grating & annoying. Jeong U who i was unsure about (as he came off like a player that was just toying with the timid Ji Won) is a much more interesting character, that is showing growth. he's not bland like Ji Won, he also looks great & his bad-boy personality is hot. him getting paired with the dull Ji Won??? not my idea of a great coupling. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: the character i really like is Seung Jin, he's quirky, sweet & funny. idk if i want a 2nd couple - but he for sure is a much more interesting character, that is likeable, heck loveable & u wanna root for... then Ji Won - sorry, not sorry.

ironically since the romance was done with & the plot got serious, the acting got ridiculous. & can't seem to over look it & all the plot-holes. this was another ep that was tough to watch - kept stopping & taking a break. but somehow i am at the end. find it curious that Babe's father (who was alive) didn't reach out to his son, who had distanced himself from Chen for over a decade & was living on his own terms. even if he wasn't completely free of Chen, why wouldn't his biological father try & reconnect with him?!? i don't get this logic. (btw a good looking dude, considering his age). ***************************************also didn't get why Charlie decided to suddenly pop-up. how would he know what Babe & his group planned? or cause Jeff wasn't in contact he was sure Chen had him & he came to rescue him?? & why he sure Jeff with Chen & not just having a honeymoon now that he started a new relationship?!? **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also Babe& his group really haven't thought anything through. yeah they wanna exposé Chen & save the kids. but who says the reports at the event not Chen's people?!? & who is gonna make sure the children r ok & looked after, after getting free from Chen?? this plot really isn't thought out - same with their just ambushing the event unarmed & with no backing. here Chen has the upper hand with the manpower at his hand - idk ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************i really felt so sad for Kent in this ep. dud e was a bad guy until now but here u see he is still a child who want's his fathers approval & love. so freakin sad.

thought Way would save the day at the ending.. will have to see in the next ep i guess - but have to say what is the point of all the alfa enigma talk?!? Kent (in this ep) it was made clear that he is normal / average human (idk why Chen would take in a child without powers but ok) & yet he is capable of over powering Pete?!???? then the enigma's power comes down to being able to impregnate an alfa?? that's it? much ado about nothing if u ask me like this whole BL. *************************************even Charlie really being alive, was kinda anti climactic - same with the start of relationship between Jeff & Alan, Jeff so worried about turning Alan off cause of his clairvoyant abilities but not worried that he has been lying to Alan & caused Babe serious heartache with the Charlie's death - lie???

this ep was kinda stupid - everyone kept falling allover their own two feet - little wonder someone as despicable as Chen is thriving. all the "good guys" r utterly incompetent. & have to say i still don't understand why Charlie is ready to sacrifice his life for Babe, i get he got close to him cause he saw Babe as a tool to deal with Chen - same with taking Babe's "powers"... but still offering up his life at every turn, isn't cute or funny. it's just kitschy. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Jeff just walking into Chen's house as if he didn't grow up there & knows that place filled with Chen's henchmen. Babe & Charlie playing as a D-rated Charlie's angels - other then getting hurt & flirting with each other, they have yet to accomplish a thing. also had hopes the mysterious Mr. Pete would be the "Ace card" that would take Chen down - WTF was that? him hiding & watching a poor kid getting sold off, only to have Ken hold a knife at his throat & do nothing then make cow-eyes at him WTH is going on - idk. but i know it wasn't impressive. ************************************************************************************bummer, as it feels like the writer can write romance but not anything complicated... it isn't well thought-out or executed. all of the (good) character's r coming of stupid & goofy. as this is developing in this ep, Chen is gonna have a happily ever after by the end, not the mains. ******************************************************************************************************************* also was sure Way would betray Babe.... but idk

knew the mother wouldn't give up that easily & yet she did give up & without much of a fight,when it came down to it. as Kanade's handling of her & the situation was mild at best - but i guess given this an Asian country, u can't really be rude to the parents even when they r being down right diabolical - she was actively destroying her sons life & her saying he would marry & have children was a bad-joke as there no woman alive that would put up with her, long enough to give her grandchildren, not even a yr into the marriage (if they ever reached that point & didn't bail a few months into dating) they would run away before they got pregnant. so idk what was going on in her head, for her to act the way she did & i guess as we nearing the end, so passivity worked & she bowed out while apologizing. *******************************************************************************also was shocked that by the end both guys consummated their relationship - given the touching of the lips that passes for a kiss i didn't think we would ever go there, even though the most we saw was one lying on top of the other shirtless & hugging. fitting & yet idk there something that just doesn't flow

this ep had it's ups & downs, but that ending killed me, Wu Suo Wei almost gave his "master" a heart-attack lol.... but have a feeling the next ep is gonna be a tough ride. just when i thought the main couple had overcome all the major hurdle's & it would be smooth sailing until the end.. guess not - aish ************************************************************************************the start was hilarious, Wu Suo Wei's grand escape that was helped by the "goddess" or rather Chi Cheng & then Chi Cheng distracting his father to allow Wu Suo Wei to limp away. so funny & adorable, but that's Wu Suo Wei for u. the whole reunion was wholesome too, love how Xiao Shuai who is usually terrified of Chi Cheng's shadow - when it comes to Wu Suo Wei he has no fear... the way he pushed Chi Cheng out of the way, so he could get to Wu Suo Wei OMO funny...**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************seeing Chi Cheng & his father, now it is so clear that they one & the same, they r tough & mean to everyone but the ones they love. maybe cause they r so similar, they tend to butt-heads, ironic really. but given the society & country they live in - it's not hard to understand where the father is coming from. Wu Suo Wei's mother said more of the same, just worded it in a different way. it's hard being in a relationship as is, but when there laws against ur sexual orientation, it's triply so... ***********************& even though the sister ignoring Wu Suo Wei, when she came to pick up her son bothered me - her talking to her father about the couple. shows that she is just like her father & brother, she has a tough facade but isn't a mean person, it just takes her time to warm & open up to new people. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the scene where Wu Suo Wei was all alone & he went to his family home, cause he felt lost without Chi Cheng & was seeking comfort in the place that held so many memories, was kinda heartbreaking - cause now without a mother he is all alone. so Chi Cheng even been gone for a few hrs, is insufferable. yeah he got Xiao Shuai, but Xiao Shuai being in a relationship he knows he's the third wheel, even if that couple doesn't say so... & now Chi Cheng gotta get thrown into jail - poor baby Wu Suo Wei

Wu Suo Wei's family might have been poor financially, but they were the richest when it came to TLC. now baby Wu Suo Wei is all alone & being an only child... kinda breaks my heart & yet he is more fortunate then someone like Wang Shuo, who is a broke human-being, regardless of everything he has in his life. but i don't feel sorry for Wang Shuo, i do for his brother cause he has turned into his nanny & sadly i doubt he will get to live his life, as he has to watch-over his brother 24/7. this so ironic ********** ****************************************************************************************************************************************Chi Cheng is an utter d*ckhead for throwing barbed-words at Wu Suo Wei, when he's in mourning. i get that he's angry & it annoyed him that the 1st words out of Wu Suo Wei's mouth, were "...what r u doing here..." Chi Cheng can be a petty sh*thead, the fact he loves Wu Suo Wei doesn't mean he can't be mean to him. he threw him out of the house, cause he stayed out all night, as if Chi Cheng hadn't spent the night out himself & there was no apology or anything afterwards. ************************so him breaking Wu Suo Wei just so he can then turn around & hold him close, isn't something i am happy about - but it is fitting of Chi Cheng's sociopathic personality - still doesn't make me like this any better **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************well have to apologize to YueYue, she was being "motivated" by Guo, who wasn't wrong thought wise - the lie about why Wu Suo Wei & Chi Cheng met needed to come out & get cleared up, so they could have a healthy relationship but Guo was totally wrong in the way he went about things - IMO. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the rest of the ep was the polar opposite of how it started out, guess almost 2 eps of heartache & sadness was enough. not that i am complaining, this was fun & much needed after all the tears - just happy to see baby Wu Suo Wei back to his old smiling, naughty self

OMG but Armin is doing my head in.... idk how many times i stopped this ep, he keeps having these childish breakdowns & sorry but dude's a 40yr old, that got a 2nd chance & from the sec he woke up, he is acting worse then a child. so idk when he will start to get his act together (& we only in the 5th ep OMG) 5 more to go & i feel like pulling my hair out, in frustration. dude isn't acting like an adult & i wish - really wish every time he has his hysterical breakdowns, spouting nonsense about the f*cking future - i NEED someone to just come up behind him & slap him upside the head!!! maybe it will restart his brain & he will realize that he needs to STFU & avoid the future, not continuously cry about it - as that aint gonna change sh*t.... aish with this character! ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but beside this i kinda get him not rushing to forgive TD at the start, he just needed to explain that he was almost put i a similar situation, by his ex b*tch of a manager. so TD excusing his "arrangement", as Narin's offer didn't make it any better. but it worked out in a different way & then he met Charlie - which logically made him lose his sh*t & as he didn't know how to react/act with Charlie (as he was still figuring out what he should do) TD's popping up, just allowed him to take out all his anger, frustration & pain on TD. given all TD has done for him, it might seem ungrateful but usually we acts the meanst with people that r closest to us, cause we know they will never abandon us - whack logic, but it is what it is. so glad he realized by the end how important TD was to him & went to apologize - some growth...

think the fall from the 1st life & the head injuries from the 2nd, have turned Armin into a special needs case. cause idk who is moronic enough to go on talking about the future & if that wasn't enough, he keeps going up to absolute strangers & starts bombarding them with the past, as if they also know WTF he is talking about & can give him answers, as to what happened on the day he died. like WTF is wrong with this dude?!? u don't need to be a genius to figure out what u need to say, who to say it too, let alone when.... but the dude's suffering from diarrhea of the mouth - there is no thought process, what pops-up in his brain comes out of his mouth. it's not even cringe moments, just a continues face-palm moment with this dude. *****************& the sh*t about everything happening faster, is utter b.s - he just didn't know the people he would come to know in the future, so when he came across them in the 1st life he just didn't recognize them. like i watched a ton of BL's & drama's, yrs later sometimes when i rewatch something i realize '...wow this actor was also here...' but when i saw this the 1st time, i didn't know the actor so there was no need to notice him! this commonsensical - but we talking Armin so common sense not that common i guess - lol ... aish **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************still haven't figured out why TD is so enamored with Armin & why he is putting his life on a hold, to run around helping him. but if he cared so much why hasn't he offered him a better contract at his agency?!? wouldn't that be the best way to take care of Armin & his career?!? *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************& i know men can't hit women - but OMG i need someone to come slap Lilly's face off! not black & blue - that her skin will come off. she's a pimp & disgusting - i NEED some justice to be meted out ASAP in her case

i really love the scenes, when they were children it's so wholesome & heartwarming. & ironically Jun Xi has retained his innocence & pure heart from childhood. while Han Tuo (maybe out of desperation) has turned conniving & he keeps manipulating Jun Xi, which just feels wrong - when Jun Xi is this trusting - feels unfair. *******************************************so was happy when Han Tuo came clean & told Jun Xi how he feels about him, but then he had to turn around & ghost Jun Xi, just cause Jun Xi didn't reciprocate?!??? like r u kidding me??? **********************************************************************i hate these type of friends, u "fell" all on ur own & i guess gave & cared for... cause u were in-love. what about ur unsuspecting friend? they didn't have an ulterior motive when they cared & gave to u. but now cause u have confessed & they didn't know how to react, u r ready to throw away a life time of friendship as if nothing, cause u didn't get ur way??? hella selfish IMO. **********************************************************************************************************************************************even the end - Jun Xi has treated Han Tuo & Xiao Yang like family since they were children, even if Xiao Yang was suddenly ghosting him he would be worried thinking about her 24-7. that love? - yeah the platonic kind. idk how i feel about this whole plot that feel like a whole ass gaslighting exercise - toxic relationship.

idk what i feel about this 1st ep - like the chemistry is banging & i get that Han Tuo might have fallen for Lu Jun Xi, when he approached him as a child & said he should come play with them. but i don't like his underhanded ways & him manipulating Lu Jun Xi (who is like an innocent trusting child) into something that is way over his head. *******************************************Lu Jun Xi's reaction after the fact hurt my soul, he was very disturbed. so idk.... & that end scene, where it looks like Han Tuo is gonna jump him... again (which also might be a mislead) & basically force him into something he is unsure about..... ugh - really doesn't sit well with me.

every ep i am either laughing or smiling throughout...i love Wu Suo Wei, such a funny, goofy, adorable, loveable character. not shocked how or why Chi Cheng is wrapped around his little finger. but i am also worried that every time Wu Suo Wei builds up the courage to tell Chi Cheng (about how & why they met), ironically Chi Cheng always stops him & then Wu Suo Wei choses the easy route of keeping quite & pushing of the big revel to a later date. & now that i know that Chi Cheng's ex is gonna come back... i am worried for Wu Suo Wei. *************************************************************************************************but in the mean time, watching his antic's trying to "drain" Chi Cheng off all that "energy" so he wont pounce on him every night, hilariously sweet & very very endearing - especially that ending & Wu Suo Wei the cheapskate going out of his way to build a huge terrarium for their baby - little cuzbao & the cherry on top, his telling Chi Cheng he isn't used to gay relationships but he is a fast learner & will get better in time... dude can one be more sweeter?!? more loveable? more a perfect partner?!?? Chi Cheng totally won the lottery with our WeiWei. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************regrading the 2nd couple, Guo is the prize - at the start of this is didn't think i would fall for this character (even in the book he was ok) but here he is just a huge green flag. & as i don't recall what the doctors backstory was in the novel, i wonder why he reacts to his ex as he does. it can't be just that he was ghosted - so can't wait to find out what's what there... & as cute as i think his being jealous of Chi Cheng is, i want him to stop playing games & taking advantage of Guo's kind heart. **********************given his persona at the start, Guo is nothing like his initial self - so he deserves better treatment from the doctor, IMO.

anyway i don't get people faulting Song Li, yeah he found out & instead of confronting Song Qi, he chose to ignore "it" hoping the problem would go away, that Song Qi was just going through a faze. ***********************************************************if anything Song Qi was totally gaslighting Song Li blaming him "...for making him like that..." that isn't how that sh*t works. plus u r his younger brother & the only family member he has got. he isn't that older himself & doesn't have anyone that he can turn to, with this kind of family issue - so what should he have done? easy to pass judgment & have a 100 different solutions when it isn't ur problem. what he did at the end, was the only logical move. the fact they not blood related means zilch when push comes to shove in the real world. ****************************************************************************************************maybe cause i saw the Taiwanese BL i though here too it would go the fanciful route, guess the Chinese chose realism, brutal & depressing - but realistic. there aint a person i know that would raise a younger sibling (like a child of their own) would then turn around & get into a relationship with them, as if it's nothing ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note; Song Qi telling his older brother he would be his wife made me laugh, cause sorry i don't see him being the bottom (ironically as i didn't see Zhi Yuan in Unknown being the bottom), they too aggressive to be a bottoms IMO - but what do i know lol **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but the fact that this is how the ep ended & here on MDL it shows this BL is only & ep's leaves me wondering why leave this open, or this a cliffhanger & there gonna be a 2nd season?!??? then logical i guess.... otherwise this messed-up!

Suo Wei is reckless & has no self preservation at all.. he keeps poking the bear - idk when but Chi Cheng gonna break & then no one gonna save Suo Wei. there is a part of me that wishes Suo Wei would think twice & stop playing with fire, but that isn't how the novel goes lol *********************************************************************************************************************Xiao Shuai is another one, he is as stupid as Suo Wei, idk if he truly believes he is cozying up to Cheng Yu just to help his bff or he's starting to get enticed by Cheng Yu & hasn't realized it yet. another one playing with fire

Mon's mother is a piece of work, i get why Kim kept trying to appease her. but she is infuriating & not deserving of any respect. not only how controlling she is of her son, but the way she threatened the teachers - like talk power crazy. **********************& Mon no matter what he said wouldn't get though to her, but he is her son so he knew that an ego massage would do wonders. her reasoning was moronic & infantile - what, so her son could never date cause the person he dated could hurt him? that's freakin life. even in the most perfect relationship, there r rough times. avoiding human interaction doesn't promise eternal happiness, it's the good with the bad. as an adult she should know better - then act like a controlling maniac. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************ironically Shane's parents not much better, his mother trying to manipulate him into coming with her; i love u the most among my children?!? i love u the most do u love me the same or now u love me less?!?? talk gaslighting - seriously disappointing. **********************************************************************************************************************************************but on a whole these were the main dark spots in a really sunny joy filled ep - like most r. kinda hard to get depressed with all the smiling faces & the pure innocence of everyone. even the teacher's budding romance makes me smile. such a love filled wholesome BL
