I agree with everything here except the Vee thing. As far as I remember Vee made it very clear in the last episode…
Oh yeah I just realised I worded it wrong! With last ep I meant ep 5. I didn’t really get why he was seeking our Dome during his morning run, because he seemed to know something was going on already. I’m guessing he just didn’t really think about it until his sister literally walked in on him grabbing her boyfriends thigh…
I really enjoyed this episode but had a bit of trouble with some things (some of these complaints are things that have happened throughout the series): 1) Why is this show so vague about a lot of things? I enjoy the slow pacing but this doesn’t mean that the characters shouldn’t talk out loud about their thoughts and ideas/recap some of the things that have happened in previous episodes. I did not realise Saen and Aii were visiting a village close to Saen’s grandmother’s house for that group work they have, but that’s why they went according to the comments. The show being vague every now and again might also have something to do with my second point: 2) What’s up with the weird cuts every now and then? It makes the story harder to follow along. I also didn’t particularly enjoy the jump cut to the side and then to Saen and Aii’s hands during the kiss scene. It felt disruptive. 3) I get that Aii is most probably leaving for Japan and that they’re grown men sleeping in the same bed as the person they’re interested in but they just went from 0 to 100. Especially since Aii did not look comfortable in Saen’s grandma’s home. 4) I don’t really get Vee’s intentions: he was seeking Dome out last ep attempting what exactly? Why won’t they communicate about what’s going on? Are they trying to be as vague as can be? I do have to admit that this has me on the edge of my seat every time they show up on screen. I’m a DomeVee apologist at heart.
I also have to say that I actually liked ThornFah’s kiss. Yes we could’ve done with more conversation and less falling basketballs (it was a paid actor btw) because this did make it cheesier than probably necessary BUT the kiss itself - though stiff - was pretty cute. I really liked the bgm and I think it was a pretty accurate description of a first kiss (or a hesitant kiss) with someone you like but who’s feelings you aren’t entirely certain of.
I don't understand why everyone thought Aii and San were too fast - why? They've been headed here since the beginning,…
I’m pretty sure Vee fell because he was daydreaming while he shouldn’t have been - thinking about how he told Dome to yell out something/someone he likes, only to hear Dome shout his name (which seems to insinuate that Dome actually likes him) - which resulted in Vee getting startled and falling, which in turn made Dome trip over him since this wasn’t what usually happens during the baton pass-over. The fall could’ve been filmed better, but it’s not entirely unbelievable. This also explains why the coach is basically telling them to get their act together: in previous episodes they established that a good bond between those who are passing the baton is important. They need to work together as a team. Since nothing like this ever happened before, the coach knows something’s up.
I do think it would have been just as impactful (and slightly more believable) if Vee just didn’t catch the baton and they crashed into each other or something. The tripping over thin air wasn’t it.

Excited to see where this goes!
