I hope so man.

I'll be disappointed af, what a major script writing eff up. If a writer intends to have two love rivals, they need to make sure the ML they plan for endgame is better than the second. That makes me think that somewhere along the way they're gonna make Nankrai do something dick-ish in order to make Victor seem better. I'll probably drop it if that happens.

💯

Nah, but didn't you see Tontae's reaction to Victor pulling his shirt off? Looks might be subjective (I personally think Nankrai is better looking), but Nankrai's body is plainly ten times better, yet since Tontae's lived around him so long and probably hasn't ever considered him as anything more than a close friend, he's become sort of desensitized to Nankrai physically. f.r.i.e.n.d.z.o.n.e.

But I am hoping Nankrai will realize that and do something to make Tontae aware that they can be MORE than friends. Hopefully Victor will be a passing hoorah and then woosh, gone like a spook.

It goes to show though, that being too close to someone can sometimes get you friendzoned. Nankrai is better than Victor in every way, he's also close to Tontae and cares about him a lot, knows him so well and probably understands him and would support him in everything, even his dream to travel, but the first glance of a pale foreigner who speaks barely passable English and Tontae's head is in the clouds 😂

I like the show, but I don't like Victor as the main love interest.

Put your shirt back on and go home Victor.

If we're being honest, the fact that so many rando guys all fight like they've been trained is already a big stretch. Sun's friend group is explained, but whatever about all the general gang members and drug sellers and so on. Just once, it'd be nice to see a BL show fights like how they really go down, some Green Street Hooligan level shit. That's how gang/street fights really go, it's chaos and blood.
In BLs, it's all about suspension of belief on some level. Basically: "Oh, he also knows martial arts? And him too, and him and him? Okay, uh...sure, seems legit." lol

😂

This kind of BL makes the girlies go crazy, huh? The fairytale prince fanfare, the blurry glowyness, the dancing and the princess carrying. The budget for this was definitely banging.
That tripping on air and falling into a dip during the dance was embarrassingly lame though, especially because fencers are supposed to have some good balance but bro be falling over hopes and dreams and air. Then they made it worse by dragging it out for two minutes.

No worries, if you want you can just pop back to the end of the last ep to see :D

He didn't bump into Peace, he brought Peace there. Perhaps you missed the end of the previous ep? Peace just decided to follow Sun into the building instead of staying where he was in the vehicle, or leaving.

This shit's gonna be messy. I'll be here for it.

I think he knows Joe is not a good guy, he referred to him as Korean mafia when talking to Peace, but I think he doesn't care what criminal dealings Joe has (yet), he only wants revenge and atm, Joe appears to be 'on their side' again Yao, who as far as Sun knows, is responsible for the drug selling. He will probably catch a wake up when if he ever speaks directly to Yao and she tells him the truth.

I love the fight scenes too, I just wish they'd ease up on the kung-fu impact sounds lol

I'm thinking Yao will blackmail him with the knife. She doesn't want him killed it seems, so she'll force him to be on her 'side', work for her or go back to jail. Maybe he'll end up being a double agent, working with and against his enemies.

I don't think either of them having a love interest would be relevant to the story, as for Jihoon in terms of fighting, if he does have a big fight, he might go up against one of Sun's friends. To me he seems like the kind of character to use a weapon, likewise, I think he's likely to die in a quick and impersonal way, because his character is meant to be so unlikeable. But I guess we'll see.

Yep hehe, I replied in messages!

This episode has me struggling to keep going. It's like the script really was written by a thirteen year old. It's actually kind of sad. Anyway, I liked the imagined scene of Sant popping up out of the box, I laughed at Jay's reactions.

With regards to Sun's strength level, I think he's supposed to still be getting 'stronger' and still learning. In prison, he was scrapping with non-professional fighters, no technique needed, just fight back and try not to get kicked on the ground so often. And he was still getting beaten up a bit, in the end his objective was to get the former leader of the prison gang to side with him by fighting back, which as we saw, worked because the old guy got tired of the lack of submission and Sun was starting to gain ground on him.

Outside of prison, Sun's coming up against trained fighters (some being his friends) and weathered gangsters. In ep 5, when Joe said all of his sons are black belts, Sun's brother basically pointed out that Sun is not on that level, yet he's holding his own quite well in fights. The writers seem to be trying to make him partly trained and partly a street scrapper, so every fight won't be easy for him, he's gonna have to work to win and stay alive. That's how I see it anyway.

Sun's three biggest opponents (so far) are going to be Nap, Aim and Junho, and the story will likely build his struggle and skill leading up to those three fights.
