this ep was hard to sit through, cause i finally am noticing how stupid & selfish Sun is, 'Q' told him he has 2 options either restart or erase 7 people (i missed the 1st option at the start) but Sun just wants to keep deleting people as if they r nothing, that is beyond evil. they don't just exist in Rain's life, they r connected to so many other people but Sun doesn't care that their loved ones r getting robbed of their existence, all cause Sun has a hard on to get Rain back. ***************************************at the start even i was fine with Air getting deleted & that's cause he took part in betraying Sun - yeah was kind of a mean b*tch not even caring that his father was robbed of his only family. but in this ep, after Sun has erased 2 people already, he can't stop & think what he is doing? why not reset & having the info that he has - try again with that knowledge??? the way things r he is worse then Rain. 8 more ep's to go & idk if i can push through cause Sun is clause about others - who am i gonna root for??? i for sure don't want 'Q' to end up with him & i couldn't care less if Sun & Rain get back together. aish - ********************************so that blow-up was so needed at the end - someone needed to slap some sense into Sun & that's what Q's words did. if Sun doesn't give a sh*t about who he is erasing as if they don't count why should 'Q' watch his words??? that's some much needed truths he needed to hear, maybe that would make him realize was a selfish ass he was being... pity 'Q' tried to apologize.

Apologies and reconciliations

Director Jiang ended up giving QingCheng private acting lessons on set. Diva was jealous but the director said he could not correct such a great actress and could only offer advice to beginners.😂 He also liked a post of QingCheng’s which I thought interesting. Chen Mian has returned to the high school boy admiring his princess cello player. That gala turned into a good moment for KaiXi. She was put in the spotlight and shined brilliantly. Too bad she can’t really play. For the first time in a very long while she had a romantic evening with her hubby. He is still scum, but the heart wants what the heart wants. KaiXi is happy so I have to cheer her on til he finally gets kicked to the curb. MuSun definitely took advantage of KaiXi, but he was gentlemanly enough to truly apologize to her and to offer support if she ever ventured out to start her own business. At least that ended on a positive note which I think was good for both of them.MuSun defends Man by declaring her interesting. For him, this is truly a high compliment. She intrigues him like no other woman has. Man did some research on his past with wife and they are definitely top tier social status. MuSun knows what she said about not stepping in his turf and picks her up to walk on his feet not the floor. They apologize to each other but when it comes to defining what they are as a couple…he is a very smooth manipulator. Even the powers of the screen writer couldn’t help Man with this one. Here QingCheng was the voice of reason for Man. Their candid chat while she waited for d list part was good advice for Man. It gave her understanding of his point of view dividing work and home life. She recognized where she overstepped and that helped them converse later where she accepted her part of the blame. QingCheng benefited by just being able to chill out with a friend after a very long diva et al bully day. She also could fill in KaiXi about Man and MuSun. The friendship of these three is growing. I wish QingCheng had more input that we get to see because she is kept peripherally more often than part of a trio of friends.

Manipulators

The ‘date’ was awkward and Man goes home with him.😝 He is again thoughtful when he notices her fever. He is such a Jekyll and Hyde. When Chen’s new business partner shows up on court his Hyde side shows up. He lets Chen know his wife works at his company and the commute must make things difficult for her. 😝It’s not that I mind Chen getting thrown under the bus, he deserves it. But it’s beyond annoying that he took advantage of KaiXi’s naïveté to accomplish it. Man and KaiXi are having a chat when hubby comes home enraged. He loses it with KaiXi and then storms out of the house saying she needs to stay away from Man since she’s MuSun’s woman now. Man does not help things when she admonishes KaiXi in almost exact terms as Chen. This is one time she should have hugged her friend, heard her out, and then pointed out how MuSun took advantage of her to get to her husband. KaiXi pointed out that her relationship with MuSun was as real as her job which was a very valid point that hit home. Man leaves and heads over to MuSun’s place and launches into him about taking advantage of her friend. She keeps pushing the point til he kicks her out. The lobby attendant and doorman finish the job of letting her know she’s not fit to be near the building. QingCheng is having a crap day because of the diva. She has been bullied to the point where nobody thinks she can act. Ms Diva changes her tune when her fave director shows up with Man on set. I wish the director would fire the one that really can’t act and give QingCheng her role. That would be some instant Karma. All three friends are at odds because of the manipulators…ms diva and MuSun. They undermine whoever they need to to move up the ladder. Chen is far worse. He has no appreciation for his wife’s kindness and multitasking skills. He is too busy thinking the grass is greener. The young doc also thinks even less of Man after seeing her and MuSun’s PDA. Chen is ogling and envious and he is disgusted. I like that Man went to the set to check up on her friend and that KaiXi sent a sweet apology gift to cheer Man up. I really want somebody to put diva in her place but that probably won’t get to happen.🙄

this plot is getting so complex, i am kinda zoning out. 1st off i still don't get why Sun is so special, that he has the power to delete people at will. if he tried selling his soul or did some ritual, i would get suddenly some demon popping up to grand wishes. ********************************************************************************************************************************& the main point with other worldly beings, is that they lack empathy for humans so they wouldn't care who Sun wasn't erased. cause all humans r the same in their eyes. so i don't get the reaper expecting anything but for a new name from Sun. ************also Sun is human & isn't capable of seeing the bigger picture, let alone he is emotionally involved & his heart just wants to be back with Rain - the fact Rain not worth the headache hasn't even crossed his mind. cause whether it's true or not, Mek cheated or just came up with an excuse, the fact is he told Rain he wanted to break up cause he had someone new - so Rain knew exactly how it feels to get betrayed by the one u love & yet he chose to do the same thing to Sun???? & Sun still wants him back? meeh

girl fuck minato man.

okay this was a five–episode marathon ；no i am not going to touch on minato yet just know i will see him in hell. i think houtasro was relatively solid ，the fire gotchard story was cool no complaints with him there. after that we focus on the other riders & he slots in well as support then. rinne however. ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i think they wasted dialogue by just having her in this convenient weak spot. i would say to look at lachesis’ scenes as an example of what i would want from her. majade had a theatrical debut but even in the movie it was just very point a check+point ，then point b. no lingering moments ，no fceeling of fullfillment & satisfaction or growth really. so when we start her episode by having to set up & contrive this ’ ’ by the rules ’ ’ narrative dilemma that she has it is corny. if we planted these seeds earlier in meaningful ways i would be fine with it but this is kind’ve a lame way to go about her turmoil with her father. one of the first things she said after becoming majade was that she can finally stand up for herself without gotchard having to fight. i think a more interesting spin would be her striving to progress & catch up to gotchard as a kamen rider or not tack on other things to the ever+present but avoiding shadow of her gone father. i think rinne just constantly gets lost as a character every new episode. another thing that i think could benefit her is fleshing out a relationship with spanner ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i think it would be beneficial for both of them with spanner giving rinne a perspective of advancing while maintaining his own terms & such. spanner also was supposed to keep an eye on rinne as a mission & he does a horrible job at that DO SOME INVESTIGATING. i genuinely think those two could have a lot to talk about being two more grounded characters then–happy go luckly–houtaro telling everypony that ’ ’ everything will be alright ’ ’ spanner also does not have as many problems as rinne ，i was actrually very saatifisifed with where they brought him. i think a bit more earlier nuance like i mentioned would have helped & more acknowledgement of how he feels. he really needs to be humiliated soon ，his parents getting tortured in front of him does not count that was just cruel sadism ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i think one of the best part of the show is the abyssalis sisters. lachesis mostly because of sakamaki alisa & clotho they jumped the gun with her but she is still one of the more solid characters. atropos is also pretty good but their scenes are always pretty good with me wanting more. alisa also needs to get flowers for how much she carries the characters though they all work because of her ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i know time is an issue but i can argue that they are wasting a lot of it in these minor scenes that add up to nothing which then pile up with focusing on main+plots that are just so congested because now we have to build everything IN that episode because we did not want to be efficient & set things up earlier. oh also kyoko sensei is one of the coolest characters also. very fun very interesting & a great performer fukuda saki is

before anything have to say some of the actor's here really can't act - idk if it's the directing or them being new to this profession, either way it's hard to ignore. on that note the starting scene between the father & son was tedious for this reason, well that & the fact that i really could care less for a cheater that broke up a relationship. & don't care that they fallen out of love or whatever... Air should've told Rain to 1st break things off - there No justification for cheating! *************************** so didn't care for Air & certainly didn't care about his convo with his father. but later on i understood why we had to get that long ass scene, it's so we would feel sorry for the father, that got his son erased - well call me a mean girl cause it didn't evoke any sympathy from me. **************************************************************************************************************1st off there a ton of people that have families & children only to be abandoned in nursing homes or worse forgotten in a room that's falling apart or even end up on the streets. so the fact u got children doesn't mean sh*t - which btw, as he was encouraging his son to follow his own dreams & further his studies, the scholarship etc... which would mean him living alone while his son pursued his dreams - then who would look after him? the pity party thrown for him, made me roll my eyes - like cry me a river. dude such a moron he doesn't know to look where he is going & not step into a road?? that has nothing to do with being alone - same with inviting a stranger into r home at night, that shows a lack of common sense. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************think the only character i am curios about is the reaper cupid (what a weird concept) what is his story & how has he come to be, why he chose Sun . wish we had more info on that whole front - as personally i wish he ends up with Sun, but i don't know why he is in the human world so idk if there is a time limit or what

1st ep & idk what i feel - as is this got such a weird vibe to it, like the whole flower liquor show, everyone is kinda off & didn't get why we had to get so much of Rain & the guy he cheated with. guess will have to see more to understand what is trying to be conveyed. *************************************************************************************************************************personally i don't see Sun as overly spoilt or selfish, he hasn't acted as either from the start of the BL - until the moment he met with Rain. if anything Rain is a douche for not just cheating & lying, but also brining the guy he cheated with to his break-up... like who the f*ck does that??? & Sun was justifiably angry, but Air had to balls to try & hit him, cause he's the bad-guy?? really??? & then we had to get that long as interaction between the cheaters, as if i give two sh*ts? really??? not a likeable bunch. ********& as much as i don't give a sh*t if Air exist or not, i don't get why Sun so special that the grim reaper - the angle of death doesn't just visit to collect his soul (as he usually does) but he suddenly offering wishes?!? why Sun different from all the hundred's & thousand's of humans that r equally heartbroken??? & the grim reaper said Sun's decision is connected to his future??? how does/can a mere mortals decision effect an angle??? so many questions.. ***********************************************************side note: if i was Sun the one i would want gone is Rain, he not worth my love if he gonna cheat & then freakin gaslight me. & i think the angle of death is the best looking character so far.

Reunions

When Rin was in mope mode I didn’t sympathize. She did the breakup. Taiga stopped cooking fusion Korean dishes because he was sad his taste tester wasn’t around. He had to make the soup for event and his mentor pushed him to deliver some to Rin. She’s trying to find what she wants to create and all she sees is a mess. Her senior spends time with her but realizes she will not see him more than family. He recognizes he’s her safety net in Japan and she needs him to stay in that role. When he swapped the bags of food I wasn’t mad at him. Tbh I didn’t think Rin deserved it. At the class reunion, Taiga sees his classmates no longer compare him with running status. Once competition removed, friendships could happen. I am glad his ex was truthful in her intentions, but I’m also glad he saw that as opportunity to understand Rin better rather than rekindle feelings for ex. I find myself not really liking her for him. I think she is still more status oriented than Taiga would ever want to be. I am glad senior sings much better than Rin. It was bittersweet that it was his farewell song to her, but now he will be available for Taiga’s friend. Senior swapped back to Taiga’s food delivery but added a note. I found myself pleased at this action. He needs somebody more grown up than Rin. At the event, Taiga interacts with the athletes about nutrition and good taste. Mr Sakumoto liked the soup and was curious it was based on Korean recipe. This seems a very good possibility for Taiga to interact with athletes from a different perspective. Rin has also received an internship from a company. Maybe this will give her a clue about what she wants to create. I loved the ending brought them better understanding on their own terms. Each recognized where they disappointed the other and want to try again. I am surprised I am truly happy with this outcome for them. I was so annoyed with Rin that I wasn’t sure she could change my mind. She is maturing and taking responsibility for her insecurities and frustrations with work. He understands she needs support from him in a more timely fashion. His ex made him see that prompt and direct communication prevents misunderstandings and he ran to Rin to clarify things. This ending was a very sweet reunion for them. 🥰

The machinations of building delivery service

After a resounding defeat first episode, this mom fails to give up and she writes down how to get to all the various buildings. She sings this until the leaders give her a chance. What she learns is that the building she cleaned thinking her son’s, actually belonged to her original nemesis to getting to VIP section. A twist of fate gave her a new career with likeminded people and discovering her son was just fine. It is fun watching this delivery team combine skills to hold their own in a very competitive job field. Each of these stories are produced and acted by different casts and crews. I really enjoyed this first story and now waiting to see what happens with story two.
