Surprisingly, I really enjoyed this episode! (more than the first one). I like the acting, and the main leads' chemistry is great! It doesn't feel awkward nor forced, and it's fun watching their attempts at flirting lol (especially Choi Jun's). I don't know if the office is the best place to bring out the big guns to try and seduce your crush (who's also a member of your team), and I'm always anxious that someone's going to walk in on them, but it's entertaining to watch nonetheless.For reference, if you want to get the overall vibe of this episode, here's one of the (many) notes I took while watching it: " ‘You should take it off’? Sir?? This is a Wendy’s????"

It's quite theatrical, which is something to expect from Thai series, but it overwhelms me sometimes lolAgain, not the biggest fan of them flirting when one of them is engaged (even if it's a fake engagement!), it kind of ruins the tension for me. At least for the GL couple the girlfriend is aware that the marriage is for convenience - Nuea, on the other hand, isn't. I still think that some pieces of dialogue are genuinely funny (see: "If I hear 'Next, please' from you one more time, I swear I'll sabotage my own wedding"). The 'bride' is also quite fun to watch, and her dynamic with her girlfriend is so cute T-TAnd finally: we got the first kiss. Which, by the way, I don't know what it is with this author and consent, but there's just not a lot of it in her series?? It's not as bad here as it is in Love in the Air, but we still got a quite awkward first kiss where one is doing all the work and the other is just gaping in shock, eyes wide open. I don't know what I should be feeling rn?

Again, not too fond of dramatic storylines, as they make me feel depressed, but it was still a well-done episode. My notes:- Noo don't cry don't cry- Great, now we've got the rumors, that's just great- Please someone give Wu Bi a hug- Ahhh I love Duo, she gave him the scarf -- their relationship is great- At this point I would just tell everyone the truth because it couldn't possibly get any worse- It's over, I'm sad, and everyone needs a hug: the episode

The contrast between Su Yu's dad and mom is striking, even more so in this episode. I feel so bad for him, I think he deserved better. Not a fan of the piling lies, I just know it's all going to come crashing down at some point. My notes:- The fan falling down right after he says to curse his stepfather's son to get hit was such a great moment lmao- Using his 'injury' as an excuse to stay over, Wu Bi is a smart man fr- Why did they make Su Zhi Gang give a speech about how great his son is, that was weird- Not really a fan of Su Yu's mom so far, to be honest- Them riding to school together and feeding each other snacks is all I need in life, really- Su Yu's going to find out about everything at once and it's not going to be good I can tell- Please don't hire a dad hgkjk this is going to be awkward- It was, indeed, very awkward.

This episode started introducing feelings of jealousy and I couldn't be happier, I loved it so much. The actors that plays Wu Bi is great at portraying that transition from 'friend' to 'maybe-something-else?'. My notes:- Ahh he brought him breakfast? I mean, they do say that food is the way to a man's heart, so- Is that JEALOUSY I smell? We're starting off strong with this one I see.- Okaay and we're moving on to stalking your crush's (potential?) ex on social media- Wu Bi you can't just walk into a store and buy all the plastic guns it doesn't work that way- Not the putting food on his plate, are they trying to kill me now? Come onn- Duo can hold her liquor way better than I do lmao- Sleeping on the same bed let's goo my favorite trope- Sneakily asking about his girl crush and pretending to be okay with it- Not Duo calling Su Zhi Gang her Dad I'm cryingg- My mans was ECSTATIC to be poor lol - he was like 'Now he'll like me for sure, broke is his type :D'- Nah the riding the bike backwards scene?? Best scene so far. Full stop. They're in love.- Mom get off the phone it's 2am

I liked that they explored different dynamics, such as Duo and Wu Bi, or Wu Bi with his rich friends, or Duo with her friend. Also loved the conversation on the rooftop, it gave us context without feeling like an info-dump. My notes:- You're telling me that like 20 grown men chasing a teenager with metal bars didn't raise any concerns?? Is it a normal occurrence?- Wu Bi and Duo giving sibling energy <3- If any of my friends came into my room and started pulling stuff out of the shelves we would have a problem - especially if I haven't known them for long- Damn you'd think those men would have something else to do other than ambush a bunch of highschoolers- Duo's friend is so cutee- aand he's still crying- Su Yu's sculpture being the last artwork Wu Bi's mom made >>> there's a connection guys- Just two bros giggling on the rooftop, we love to see it

Overall enjoyable episode, similarly to the previous one. Love the pranks and how they keep escalating. My notes: - Love how Su Yu is sleeping in every class lol he doesn't care at all - Mao Chong's actor gives me similar vibes to Will Gao from Heartstopper - Duo and Su Yu are my favorite duo so far-JUST TAKE THE SHOES DAMMIT -Please don't step on his shoes it's bringing back so many bad memories from school aghh -Oh okay so they're at war now. Great - How tf did he stick glue under his shoes while he was sleeping?? Wasn't Mao Chong there or? - THE BOWL OF RICE NOO wtf are you doingggg - I would've been so dead if I did that in front of my parents -Oh, to be a rich kid and buy a whole ass apartment to get away from your parents-Duo being smart and not getting in the car, I love that for her.

You get a good idea of who each character is, where they are in life, and how they feel about each other. Other things I wrote down:-Love the dramatic slow-mo entrances for the two main leads, it's so extra but it works imo-Good chemistry, and overall good acting. The comedy is also well done (the plaster scene, the friend and the desk partner, the tiny bow, etc).-The random singing took me out lol, I wasn't expecting it. Had to skip it for the second-hand embarrassement (my social anxiety could never)-Duo is so cute I love herr-Also the last frame before it cuts to the end credits had me thinking my laptop was acting up because wtf was that freeze frame lmao
