HIGENEKO After traveling to Hong Kong because of his father’s sudden illness, Sora keeps his distance from Hinata. Their relationship originally began as a way to protect Hinata from Oji, so Sora believes he has no right to impose his real feelings on him.However, being apart makes Sora realize how deeply he has already fallen for Hinata.When Hinata meets him at the airport, he finally confesses his love—but immediately declares that their fake relationship is over and runs away. Even the usually calm Sora cannot let him escape after a confession like that.Sora chases after Hinata and tells him that their fake relationship should end so that they can become a real couple.The title “The End and the Beginning” perfectly describes this sweet episode: their pretend romance ends, and their real love finally begins.The appearance of the original Thai Your Sky couple was also a lovely surprise.

Dean is a social butterfly who knows how to get close to almost anyone. Moss dislikes people so much that he has never learned how to get to know someone. Yet for the first time, both of them have met someone their usual methods cannot handle.Dean is completely confident that Moss is attracted to him, so he becomes frustrated when Moss refuses to give in. Moss desperately wants to understand Dean, but he does not know how to enter another person’s world. Their solution is to go on a date every day.Dean introduces Moss to his lively group of friends, while Moss chooses activities such as ballroom dancing and visiting an art museum. Neither knows how to enjoy the other’s interests, and their attempt to understand each other soon ends in another argument.However, when they are apart, both of them become visibly miserable. Their friends recognize the truth before they do. Pan’s advice is especially bittersweet: although he has feelings for Moss himself, he encourages Moss to face Dean and talk honestly.Dean and Moss may be complete opposites, but their attraction is equally strong on both sides. This seems to be the first time either of them has experienced a romance in which the other person can truly stand their ground.They finally become a little more honest in Episode 3, but their small battles are clearly far from over.

Episode 5 does not bring any major development, but it doubles Chawa’s cuteness.Niran has devoted himself entirely to judo, yet he no longer understands why he once cared about it so deeply. His father continues to burden him with expectations without understanding what he is struggling with. Perhaps that is why Chawa’s unconditional affection begins to mean so much to him.During the volunteer camp, Chawa stays close to Niran, protects him from another fight and even takes the blame when their card game is discovered. When Chawa compares Niran to the North Star, it becomes clear that Niran is the fixed point at the center of his world.This episode feels like a collection of ordinary summer-camp memories between high school students. Very little happens, yet Chawa’s love quietly surrounds Niran until he finally begins to let himself enjoy it.No matter what anyone says, Chawa is adorable.

**Different Kinds of Loneliness**Dean and Moss appear to be complete opposites: Dean loves people, while Moss avoids them. However, their conversation during Moss’s birthday reveals that they may share the same loneliness in different forms.Moss never realized that celebrating alone was lonely until Dean joined him. Meanwhile, Dean is always surrounded by people, but Moss quietly questions whether that might be another kind of loneliness.Their little battle over who would contact the other first was funny, and watching Moss gradually relax and smile around Dean was genuinely sweet. I’m also very curious about Ten and Dr. Pan!

After Moving Seats, the Boy Behind Me Has a Crush on Me Episode 5

The school festival gives Hare a chance to step a little further outside his shell and enjoy school life with Asamiya and his friends. His adorable werewolf costume and Asamiya’s handsome vampire look make this episode especially charming.But just as Hare begins to understand his own feelings, Asamiya suddenly tells him, “You don’t have to fall in love with me.” It is probably his way of being gentle and not forcing open the door to Hare’s heart—but the timing could not be worse. Why say that now, Asamiya?

Episode 4 made me realize again how painful Chen’s position is.Fourmod wants to be an idol, and Chen understands what that dream means. That is why, even when Fourmod tells the agency that he doesn’t have a boyfriend, Chen can only say, “It’s okay.”But of course, it isn’t okay.What frustrates me about Fourmod is the way he uses other people to test someone’s feelings. He seems to need proof that he is loved, even when Chen’s love is already right in front of him. Watching Chen continue to love him quietly makes Fourmod’s behavior even harder to accept.At the same time, this episode made the structure of Gelboys clearer to me. These relationships seem to be built on repeated separation and reconstruction—people hurting each other, losing each other, and only then realizing what the other person meant to them.Maybe Fourmod also needs to see Chen’s love clearly before he can understand its value.But seriously, Fourmod… you idiot.Loving someone really hurts.

Popular Serizawa Acts Weird around Me Episode 4

Serizawa’s absence makes the classroom feel noticeably dimmer to Suzuki. He already misses him before he even realizes what that feeling means—and then Serizawa sends him a message saying, “I want to see your face.”Episode 4 gives us the classic BL nursing scenario. While taking care of the feverish Serizawa, Suzuki finally becomes aware that his feelings are no longer just friendship. The way the drama uses Serizawa’s “sparkle” to show how brightly he shines in Suzuki’s world is simple but very sweet.Meanwhile, Serizawa is still approaching Suzuki so naturally and confidently that I cannot believe he is completely unaware of what he is doing. And being fed pudding by your future boyfriend? Suzuki, you lucky boy!

Two years into living together, Miyata and Iwanaga still look at each other far too much—even when the other person isn’t looking.Miyata remains the realist who cannot fully believe that such a rich, elegant, and impossibly handsome man truly belongs with him. Iwanaga, meanwhile, still gazes at Miyata as if he is the most adorable person in the world.Their relationship has settled into comfortable domestic life, yet their eyes remain hopelessly in love. And, of course, Iwanaga’s mischievous assistant is still there to tease Miyata and stir up his jealousy.A lovely first episode that brings back everything I adored about this couple.

Episode 9 finally puts all the pieces on the board.Thun’s past is revealed, the corruption within the police becomes clearer, and both Kaye and Phat are getting dangerously close to truths that could change the rest of their lives.What makes this episode especially painful is Kaye. After everything he has already endured, he loses his father as well. His past has been devastating, and Dew portrays his grief and loneliness beautifully.Phat may be facing an equally cruel truth. The person he has trusted for years may be connected to the very tragedy that shaped his life. Even if the case is solved, can he simply return to being the same police officer afterward?Now the biggest question is no longer who is behind everything, but what Thun actually wants.Does he want revenge, justice, the truth to finally be exposed—or something else entirely?Whatever his final move is, it may determine not only how this case ends, but how Kaye and Phat live the rest of their lives.A very strong setup for the finale.

Bay finally confesses his feelings, and Sun admits that he sees Bay as more than a friend. Sun also changes his plans and agrees to team up with Bay as a doubles pair.Their fathers’ rivalry still weighs heavily on Sun, making him afraid that they will be separated if their relationship is discovered. Although their romance finally moves forward in Episode 6, the overall pacing remains frustratingly slow.Surprisingly, I’m becoming more interested in Bay’s older brother and the tennis coach than in the main couple.

Sora chooses romance as the theme for his short film, and Hinata ends up becoming his co-star. Sora tries to hide how pleased he is, but everyone around them is beginning to notice his feelings—even if Hinata himself is still confused.Their fictional romance finally turns into a real first kiss while they are editing the film in Sora’s room. It is a sweet episode, although I still feel the drama tries a little too hard to make Hinata overly cute. Fukuda is naturally charming, so I would prefer a more relaxed and ordinary version of the character.

What impressed me most about Episode 3 was its delicate pacing.Niran has devoted himself to judo since childhood, but he has suddenly reached a point where he can no longer enjoy it. He does not yet know whether the pressure comes from his father, his school, or himself. He is standing at one of those uncertain crossroads between adolescence and adulthood.Then there is Cheewa, the younger astronomy nerd who happily explains his feelings through science and gravity. When Niran is with him, even their silences feel warm and peaceful.Sea and Keen are doing surprisingly delicate work here. Sea gives Cheewa the innocent enthusiasm of a clever child asking, “Do you know this?” Meanwhile, Keen plays Niran with a quiet melancholy. Niran is not completely unaware of Cheewa’s feelings; he sometimes avoids answering them directly, yet whenever Cheewa wants to say something, Niran patiently waits as if encouraging him: “Go on. Tell me.”This drama uses long pauses, which could easily make the scenes feel slow or empty. Instead, Sea and Keen fill those pauses with glances, hesitation, affection, and unspoken understanding. Their performances are subtle and genuinely rewarding to watch—and somehow, they are still incredibly cute together.
