Gimbap and Onigiri Episode 6

Damned if ya do, damned if ya don’t

Rin is frustrating the hell outa me. She needs constant affirmation about where Taiga stands and his actions tell her quite plainly if she’d simply pay attention. He puts her feelings first and is waiting for her to make up her mind about what she wants to do. She claims to want away from her mom’s plans, but she has nothing to seriously counter them with. Even after her mini tantrum Taiga runs after her to be rejected. Her mind bubble conversation used ‘our’ in her musings when truth be told it was ‘her’ will that lacked. He can’t force someone to stay when they’re ambivalent about it and for now, he doesn’t make enough to just accommodate her on his dime. His friend is making impact with her translated menus and I wish she would get together with Rin’s senior. They seem much better suited. Taiga’s ex might be testing the waters since she knows Rin might go home. It’s ironic that Taiga was kicked to the curb by ex for not having his mind made up for future and Rin kicked him to the curb because he did. For now, she is the one too undecided and unsure of herself to handle a relationship. Her senior will be more than happy to step in, and probably will, but I don’t see it going better for them. He will at least have her Mom’s blessing and better finances, but this is again why he would be best suited for Taiga’s friend. I want Taiga’s catering job to go well but I am not convinced he should reconsider his ex. She left him for not meeting her standard and never looked back. Rin is making the same mistake. In this episode, none of the established couples seem like they should be together. I kinda want Rin to go home and get her act together because she’s not doing that in Japan.
