Saw the thumbnail and clicked straight away. That scene and all the others you mentioned made me laugh so much. Gu Won's attempt at a smile still makes me chuckle. lol

I laughed way too hard at that ice cream scene. 😄 I love little absurd scenes like that.

This is my thoughts exactly. I just hope it doesn’t involve the su*cide of that small kid in order to make DH confront his own trauma.

I like this theory. Although two things are making me feel like he did finish his studies:

1. The exam results JY found for DH dated 2012.

2. I can’t imagine those snobbish parents would send their kids to a school where the teacher didn’t graduate.

….unless he has faked all his credentials.

I get what you mean. 😂

You had me at, "a road movie about the ancient Chinese jewelry business." I've now added this to my must watch list. Thank you so much for sharing.

The more I find out about this series, the more I am interested to watch. :)

Ryu Seung Ryong is a very capable actor, so I am intrigued by how this will turn out.

Agreed! This is my favourite genre. I'm so excited for this (and I loved Moving and it's characterisations).

This hasn't put me off watching older dramas and movies. I'm open to watching anything that looks/sounds interesting. I've actually now seen the rest of the Liar Game series.

Without making excuses for DH, I think it’s more complicated than that. His one chance to escape his father (sitting that exam) fell through. I image he was offered help by HH which he took because he had limited options, not knowing that it would keep him beholden to HH. He doesn’t seem comfortable in that lifestyle. I may be misreading things but their dynamic does not look equal to me. We see how money and power gives people control over those not on their level. Look at the mother of the student flexing her power over DH. We simply can’t ignore the setup of that society and the choices it leads desperate people to make in order to survive, or in order to have a shot at their dream. But of course this is all speculation on my part, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I was waiting for someone to bring this up but I see that no one has, so I am going to mention it here. The very last scene with the SatNav showing the destinations of the Taekwondo gym and HH's law firm; what do we think that means? Did JY go to see HH before meeting DH at the end of episode 6? Did HH reveal something that gave JY a better understanding of what is going on with DH? It must be significant for them to linger on that shot, right?!

Completely agree, although I think they lost the plot with IPYTM. ITSAY, is in my opinion, as close to a perfect BL as I've ever seen.

Same. I have so much empathy for the characters. To me everything makes sense and the actions and developments are in line with the characters so far. I think I understand what it's about and where the story is going.

In the case of this BL I don't think the explanation provided in episode 5 is exactly truthful. I think DH is still holding back the truth and there is more to why DH cut ties with JY and that it has something to do with HH and the missing 12 years. I may be wrong, in which case you'd be right in your assessment. We shall see.

lol this made me chuckle. Many valid points made in a humorous way.

I have a feeling that the missing 12 years was also filled with a lot of struggles/things DH is not proud of that is keeping him in this perpetual state of shame and stunted emotional growth. As for JY, he strikes me as a 'fixer' and a lot of his actions are borne from this. I guess it's hard to change a fundamental personality trait and he doesn't seem to have much support/ a support network to lead a different kind of life. To be honest, they both seem to be stuck in life. They are two broken people, living instead of addressing what's holding them back and unable to grow.

Interesting take. I suspect the relationship between DH and HH is more akin to debtor and debtee. DH behaves as if he is being held hostage by HH. The discomfort is palpable.

This was me during the kiss scene 👏👏 Finally Thailand is back to what it does best - CHEMISTRY and kiss scenes.

For sure, something is off about his life after he left his hometown and I think Hyeonho is involved.
