I hate self-sacrificing trop, but if you think about it a bit, then, I think, it somehow fits with the Tutor's character.
- He used to solve problems alone and in difficult situations rely only on himself. This explains why he does not say anything to Fighter, although it is stupid and unhealthy for a relationship to make decisions alone when it comes to both.
- He is afraid of losing those he cares after the bankruptcy of his family. It's not about money, probably, but about the family itself, which has collapsed, about the familiar environment, from which someone has probably left (friends or relatives), after the change in the status of the family. He lost the feeling of confidence in tomorrow and a sense of security. Now he is always preparing for the worst case scenario.
Tutor is afraid of losing Fighter in the future (because he will not go against his father, or he will go and regret it over time, etc.), so he prefers to surrender in advance. The return of the necklace is not only about the breakup, but also about the fact that Tutor is not a "fighter", he gives up.
I love this guys (actors), and I'm just sorry for them that the script, direction and editing are really bad (they were before quarantine).
Tine's words about bandage - reference to the previous Sarawat's words about Tine's first times. When Tine says "no one ever did me a band-aid", he actually means "this is one of my first time, and it is with you".
Amazing work with light and color! (It reminds me Helter Skelter and Sakuran a liitle bit.) Shun gorgeus, camera loves him very much, he is always different, but beautiful from every angle. And I like mix of irony and drama in this.
I like that Bo Xiang is not jealous of Zhi Gang's past relationship, he is only sad that Zhi Gang doesn't communicate with his family. And what I also like - in past episodes Zhi Gang told Bo Xiang that he needs to appear immediately every time Zhi Gang is lonely, because Zhi Gang is selfish, but we already see that Zhi Gang is not selfish, he puts Bo Xiang’s family in front of himself, and, however Bo Xiang is appears at the right time, when Zhi Gang needs him.
I like the little details in a pair of Bo Xiang and Zhi Gang, by which you can finish the picture yourself. I think that Zhi Gang knew about Bo Xiang's feelings for all 1.5 years (Bo Xiang is quite obvious lol), was flattered, but didn't take it seriously. There is a hint of this in the first episodes: when Bo Xiang didn't come to the gym, Zhi Gang told his cousin the phrase that the young people today likes one thing and tomorrow another. Before that he looked out for Bo Xiang in the gym, and it is clear that Zhi Gang was disappointed with his absence. I think Zhi Gang expected that one day Bo Xiang’s love will pass, but he wasn’t ready for it anyway, because he liked Bo Xiang too.
Zhi Gang didn't know that Bo Xiang not only didn't cool down, but, on the contrary, was ripe for action. There is a tiny moment during the kiss, before pushing Bo Xiang away for the last time, it is clear that Zhi Gang hangs for a moment in the kiss. Then Bo Xiang is rightly refused because his actions are all wrong (forsed kiss, scandal at work, stalking). This all reminds Zhi Gang that Bo Xiang is too young, but Zhi Gang still doesn't go anywhere with his "friend", and my guess is that this is also due to Zhi Gang ’s feelings. He initially didn't want to go, and agreed only because friend did him a favor with Xi Gu, but Bo Xiang’s call reminded him that he didn't want to be with this man now. Zhi Gang doesn't take Bo Xiang seriously, but there is nothing he can do about the fact that he likes Bo Xiang too.
And then a very funny moment in the gym, when Zhi Gang doesn't take his eyes off the phone, and he is even injured because he is undermined by the call. However, he doesn't respond to Bo Xiang’s messages and not the fact that he would answer his call, but he is waiting for this call! And when Bo Xiang later comes to the cafe to visit him, Zhi Gang 's face changes for a second, before he smiles politely again, it is obvious that he was glad to see Bo Xiang and missed him. But Zhi Gang still doesn't see them in a relationship, so he wants to play everything back and go back to the time when Bo Xiang simply silently adored him from the outside, so he offers Bo Xiang to forget the kiss and pretend that nothing happened.
However, Bo Xiang again surprises him with confession instead of regrets, and there you can also see how Zhi Gang is happy and flattered (he smiles), and despite the refusal and his words, Zhi Gang comfortably touches Bo Xiang several times (neck, arms), and cannot lie about how he feels to Bo Xiang (the easiest way to send him off is to say that he doesn't like Bo Xiang). Yes, Zhi Gang adds to his words phrases like "how it is possible not to like you”, but otherwise Bo Xiang wouldn't listen at all after confession like that LOL (The biggest mystery for me is where did the glass come from in the scene in Zhi Gang ’s hands?)
It seems to many that Zhi Gang gave up very quickly, but I think that he simply thought more than once in a past 1,5 years about “what if”, as we saw when he drank at night in a cafe. What if Bo Xiang were older? What if Zhi Gang no longer meets a man who will be so in love with him (we already know that in a relationship Zhi Gang was the one who invested more)? What if they try to date? I think that despite the fact that for a long time Zhi Gang didn't consider Bo Xiang’s feelings serious, he still thought about what it would be like to be with a man who adores him so much.
And I like how tender they are, with these hugs and innocent kisses, and then buh - and Bo Xiang in fire at one glance at Zhi Gang in a towel, and Zhi Gang feels the same way (you saw his hand as he touch Bo Xiang's chest and back?).
In the second half of the drama, I would like to see how they deal with Zhi Gang’s fears, going through everyday situations, like dates in public, meeting friends, etc., but without too much drama, because I believe in Bo Xiang.
