hmmm know there no villains in this BL, but…

hmmm know there no villains in this BL, but to me Jira is the main bad-guy. i didn't expect this to have a "happy" ending given the personalities involved, but it's a logical turn of events. as what Koh needed was someone who comforted & offered him the peace & stability that comes from being in a relationship, what he needed to fall asleep. ******************************************while on Jira's part he needed a sugar-daddy - sorry not sorry, but that's the mains take away. he left Koh cause of the AI program, cause that hurt his ego - as it basically showed him that he & his talent weren't unique, that he was replaceable. but after breaking-up reality hit - he was a nobody & there weren't any buyers lining up to buy his paintings at quarter the price Koh threw his way without a 2nd thought & as much as Pheem offered a pleasant ego massage, he couldn't offer the financial backing Jira had become accustomed too. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************by the end ironically the only character's i felt for was Pheem & Koh, for different reasons & yet they were very similar in their loneliness. Jira came into the pic a broke their bond - which we can argue whether it's good or bad, but they wont ever be friends & Koh doesn't have anyone he trusts, he had Pheem & even if he was overbearing as a boss, Pheem too cared deeply for Koh & that lose of a friendship is sad in my eyes. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this was a great plot, well written & well acted. it was raw & brutal yet very interesting & entertaining. for sure a rewatch

Still confused about what the writers are doing with the ML

The presentation of the Han Ting character is puzzling. Superficially, based on both how other characters act towards him and the fact that the plot never has negative consequences for him, he is presented as a Gary Sue - perfect and capable. Able to solve any problem and with no flaws. But at the same time he has objectively done some not-so-great things. He spent over half his time constantly insulting and criticizing the FL - often over mistakes that she hadn't actually made! He bullied her in a completely inappropriate scene based on partial information that wasn't completely true - and even if it was, his behavior was inappropriate. He has again and again acted nearly as arrogant and elitist as his disgusting grandfather. And now in this episode he stomps all over HER business priorities in order to handle a Star Tech issue HIS way - even though SHE is supposed to be autonomously in charge of Star Tech. He is constantly exerting control over her in even the smallest things - even how she does her signature!!! Up until now, he has not faced ANY negative consequences for any of these misbehaviors. Is this because the writers are tacitly approving of his behavior? Is it all okay because he's rich & handsome? Or will his flaws finally eventually come to light and make him have to face changing the way he approaches the world? His tactic of buying off a troublemaker looks like it was recorded by someone. That might finally show that his way isn't always the best way.

Still confusing

No surprise there. I am still confused a bit about the timeline, from going back and forth in the previous ep, I thought we were 15 years after the arrest, when it is actually around 25. The characters never changed and were never groomed to change, no hair change, or added rickles, so I was confused about how a 8 years old ish could look as if he is in his thirsties when 15 years old had passed, but it is because 25years old had passed, it made more sense, afterward. Investigation wise, it seems fair and okay. Character wise, it feels there is a lot of trauma for character presented in this ep, however, few event that happened felt very easy to predict and other dialogues felt slow and made the path slow. Basically I was bored at the beginning of the ep for a good 10 minutes. It is rather frigthening to be having bored moment already when it is a drama of 20 ep. I want to know more about my predictions and theory so I'll keep watching until the end, except if I keep getting confused or it make so little sense that it would upset me x). So far, so good, I want to know more about the story.

They are creating more suspense

Well , I can somehow guess what's the story is about after watching this one , something related to betrayal happened between them but I cannot guess what actually happened , what made veir hate kelvin and run away from him , kelvin is got a lot more mad and possessive, things are gonna get fixed by them in the future , ig all the misunderstanding will get cleared. I don't know but kelvin started loving him way to much maybe like a psychopath , I kinda understand him he never got the sympathy he deserved maybe that's why he doesn't want to lose the person who sympathies him for the very first time .. I am damn excited about what's the story is gonna take me :)

New opportunities

Taiga gets his first try at catering and it went very well. I liked how he tried out his recipes and tested them at various times to see quality change waiting for clients to eat. He took his job very seriously and saw to every detail. The odd circumstance was tossing in his old girlfriend. Here he should have mentioned to his current girlfriend just to avoid any misunderstandings. Rin is finishing up her project for graduation and her Gingrich animation was noted by an elderly woman. Her point of view does come across with the translated menus she created and her blending of cultures. She should have asked Taiga directly how he felt instead of going to senior. It wasn’t that he gave her bad advice, but how could he know Taiga’s opinion when they are not friends and his crush is visible to everyone but her. Rin seems very busy as she goes through her school projects. But she doesn’t have any particular focus because she is going from point to point completing as required rather than having a specific view where her efforts embellish her main focus. I want her to succeed but her efforts seem rather lackluster. She is floating along comparing herself to classmates rather than really determining what she wants. She goes to celebrate with Taiga and finds him talking to his ex when the episode ends. It is interesting how Taiga’s friend tries to cheer up Rin’s senior. He has become a ‘brother’ to her gambling boyfriend. She really needs to move on but she doesn’t see any better options so she puts up with him.I am sad for her because she is so capable with this huge exception.
