this is fun & am really liking Su's…

this is fun & am really liking Su's mother & "butler" or rather the actors playing them - they r really fun - not that the others weren't fun in their own ways - just these two r such a vibe. also liking the chemistry that's building between the mains, Phop isn't as big of a pushover as he was at the start & slowly he is pushing back & not letting Su dictate everything. ******************btw before Phop died, when he went to deliver food, Su was the one that entered the building he was bard from entering cause he was wet & would get the floor dirty/muddy - that means that while he was alive & living a pretty misfortunate life, Apo was living a lavish life & yet they not connected? doppelganger's? twins that were separated at birth? weird coincidence? what gives?

ITS TURNING BETTER

WE GOT MISLEADED BY THE PRODUCERS LAST EPISODE, IT WAS HIOKI THINKING THAT WATARAI WANTING TO ASK HIM OUT, WHEN ACTUALLY HE JUST WANTED TO BE FRIENDS WITH HIOKI, BUT HIOKI ALREADY CONSIDERED HUM A FRIEND, SO WATARAI WAS DOING SUCH CUTE STUFF FOR HIM LIKE TRYING HIS SHOELACES DURING PE. Now whilst they were watching the school trip’s highlights video, Hotta and Natasaki, grabbed Hioki and threw him to watarai and watarai wrapped his arms around Hioki saying he didn’t have to move and could get comfortable NO BCS I THINK HOTTA OR SOMEBODY FROM THEIR FRIEND GROUP KNOWS THAT WATARAI HAS A CRUSH ON HIOKI. Afterwards, Hioki gets called by his friends from the badminton club he attended and was asked about club souvenirs AND HOW HIOKI’S BEEN GETTING CLOSE WITH THE BOYS AND HOW HE’S PRACTICALLY A POPULAR KID FROM A LONER. Now watarai saw all this and got jealous that Hioki was getting close to somebody other than him, since back when watarai always wanted to get close to Hioki and finally got the chance during the school trip, so watarai suddenly hugged Hioki whilst they were cleaning up the second floor of the hall that they watched the school’s trip’s highlights together, and since watarai was taking so long with the hug, Hioki questioned whether or not friends do this, since he barely has any experience having a friend since he was a loner, AND THEN WATARAI SAID “WHAT ABOUT KISSING WITH A FRIEND?” LIKE DUDUEUUE JUST SAY YOU LIKE HIM ALREADY, AND THEN HE TOLD HIOKI TO NOT WORRY SINCE HE WONT DO IT. YET. LIKE WHAT. IS THIS AMBIGUITY. Now we flash forward into summer break and Hioki was getting late to go to the beach with everyone else, when some random dude who knew his name approached him and asked if he was Hioki and called him cute LIKE WHO THE HELL IS HE??

It packs with a lot of emotions

Episode 6 of 《We Are All Trying Here》 brings the meat of the story to the front and center. If you ever felt that the story is slow, this is the episode you have been waiting for. The catch? If you skipped episodes and/or scenes and/or watched in higher speeds, you will definitely miss the emotional pact and of this episode and the entire story.You see, episodes 1 through 5 all leads to episode 6. It primes us to be "in the zone" once episode 6 hits. Without a solid foundation that can only come from watching episodes 1–5 at normal speed, the writer's message will not reach us.A good example is the "Unknown" emotion—which I believe to be the main plot. It will not make any sense or impact without the foundation from episodes 1–5—especially for people who never experienced that emotion. In fact, even for those who did or.are experiencing the "Unknown" emotion, most wouldn't be able to identify with it. It truly is rn "Unknown" emotion.And the way they named this emotion in episode 6 is how it finally connects to people who had similar experiences. But for those who have not experienced it, their only connection is if they watched episodes 1–5 properly.This is what episode 6 is all about. This is why it was set up this way. For me, that was brilliant writing. And I cannot say anything with the already brilliant acting by the lead actors. It was as if they too realized that they once felt the "Unknown" emotion. Viewers, with a similar experience and not alike, are drawn in with them.

Five Stars

I thought this episode was gonna be just a cute one, all about Pobmek and Solar loving each other... but of course LYT isn't like other BLs, and I was surprised by crying rivers again. There were cute moments of them loving each other, but there was more than that. I find it amazing how much they love each other — I can actually feel it. Even though they don't say 'I love you' all the time, they show it through actions and support. They really support each other. Pobmek never even thought about letting go of Solar/Sun's hand, no matter the struggles, no matter how tired he was. And Solar always supported Pobmek. They're like home to each other. Seriously, beautiful... One day I wanna find a love like Pobmek and Solar's. Beautiful.

Compelling start

This drama has been on my radar for a while, though I hesitated because of an ending spoiler I once accidentally saw. But the itch was there, so I finally decided to check it out! 🤪 Of course, the main reason has always been Hou Minghao, especially since he isn’t playing his usual type of character here. Instead, he’s a morally grey, somewhat villainous demon—which is quite an easy sell for me! 😏My first impression of the show is strong. The gothic atmosphere is perfectly created with a palette of greyish colors, and the rainy weather just adds to that vibe. It feels as if everything is happening at dusk, whether outdoors or in a dungeon. The sun was mentioned, but I either missed the rays or they just weren't there—and since the Deceptive Demon brought it up, I might have just fallen under that deception spell! 😂The music is amazing, especially the track during the combat between Zhu Yan and the guy with the sword. The rest of the music was just as good, and I finally discovered the source of the song in the outro! It’s been on my playlist for some time, yet I didn't know where it came from until now, lol. 🤭As for the characters, Zhu Yan is very intriguing. At first, he seemed kind of wicked, but then he turned on that signature Hou Minghao charm and became funny, flirtatious, and playful. 🦊😏 Wen Xiao counters his banter perfectly, making their dynamic so enjoyable.This story just pulled me in after only one episode and has compelled me to keep watching! 😉
