I think many ppl are being a bit harsh on this series. This is meant to be a somewhat goofy romantic comedy and…
I must say that I was one of those who felt very uncomfortable with episode 5, and also one or two of the earlier ones, but episode 6 redeemed almost everything for me (I say almost, because the attempted rape was absolutely awful, and the psychopathic ex-gf is a trope I really don't want to see anymore -- but at least the rape wasn't portrayed as "romantic"). It was obviously the turning point, and the start of some real character growth for Ton (and about time, too). I also get that it's comedy, but not everyone has the same sense of humour, and for me the uncomfortableness sometimes outweighed the comedy.
It was very nice to finally get these "missing" scenes, but the editing together of them left a lot to be desired, and I can't help but feel that the production company didn't really do SaifahZon (or Mii2) justice with this. :\
I agree, this was just unnecessarily painful for everybody involved. I have no idea what they are doing with the…
You do have a point, and I totally agree with you about the place Yu is in emotionally and what he needs to do -- I just take issue with the way it's done here. I haven't read the fanfiction this is based on, but it's possible that it works better in that format than in a live adaptation with the same actors as the work the fanfic is based on. It's so very obvious that everything circles around these particular actors, and God's absence is turning into such a tangible void that it's taking up far too much space in the series. I can imagine this being funny and poignant in the fanfic, but here it's just confusing and frustrating. Everything is too vague and mysterious. It's like they are setting it up for Pha's eventual return, and a reveal of some deep, complex plotty reason for his sudden disappearance and unexplicable lack of adequate communication, like being in witness protection or being undercover with the mob or something of equal scale, but I'm pretty sure that isn't what is going to happen -- if it were, they would have had Pha as an actual character in the beginning, to make us feel something for him. This is what I mean about it not working in this adaptation. But maybe they will resolve it satisfactorily, in which case I will be pleasantly surprised. I am enjoying it as a whole, so far.

Yes, exactly, it would have been fine if they'd just had the breakup first thing, first ep, and then moved on. Maybe they are trying to appease the God/Bas shippers or something? IDK.
Don't forget our watch party for episodes 6-10 in about half an hour! To make things more interesting, I've posted suggestions for a drinking game in Discussions -- non-alcoholic beverages allowed :) I will be showing the Irozukusub version of episode 10, which dropped today (I haven't had time to watch that version myself yet, so that will be fun!)

Whatever this whole Pha/Wayu thing is right now, it needs to stop. It's not going anywhere, it's devastating Mark/Kit…
I agree, this was just unnecessarily painful for everybody involved. I have no idea what they are doing with the Pha plot line. Not showing his face is a really weird choice, and I originally thought it was because they were removing him from the equation, but we're on ep 6 now and this non-character that is completely defined by his absence is still messing things up!
