Because to Da On, Jaemin was never dangerous. We as an audience have seen how far Jaemin his manipulation have gone but Da On doesn’t know that. He has Su Hyeon telling him these stories, a guy who he barely trusts. And his sister who has no hard proof only suspicions. We all never would have gone alone but that’s because we have more information. To Da On he’s only going to check with Jaemin if it’s true, in his mind he probably didn’t think Jaemin would react like that. I also think that Da On is very much in shock and feels like the floor has been ripped out from under him, rational logically thinking is probably not something he’s good at that moment.

I want to give you a standing ovation! Thank you for saying it so clearly!

In the past the old me would have helped Jaemin in an instance but the new me, the me who got out of just as toxic relationship as Da On has with Jaemin would have called 911 (or whatever number they use in Korea) and walked away. The guy needs to be locked up in a psych ward. Like thats how you try and manipulate me into fearing you, thats how you think I would stay with you? Think again, play stupid games win stupid prizes. I just have very much the mindset of not my problem anymore, after those last few seconds of episode 6.

But I know for Da On his world has just completely did a 180 and everything he thought was right was all just manipulated and wrong. He’s in shock and needs time to process it all. He’s had one confrontation after another, he’s probably mentally exhausted. So next episode he will probably help Jaemin because deep inside him he’s still a good person, even if he doesn’t think he is. Being surrounded by toxicity, makes you think you are just as toxic!

About Su Hyeon, Yes he was nice and sweet when they were in university but that’s the past. The Su Hyeon now is volatile, violent, abusive (both physical and sexual), dangerously obsessive and so jealous. This is not some cute playful he’s mine thing, and anybody who cannot see it, I’m sorry but i question your sanity! Did he had a chance with Da On in the past, yes he did. But he let his emotions get the better of him and then the whole mess with the contract, he could have just gone to Da On and be honest about his feelings. Instead of contemplating and accepting that contract. Also what does Su Hyeon think will happen by telling Da On the truth about Jaemin, I mean I’m glad the truth is out there, but it’s not like Da On is going to run back to Su Hyeon when Da On has a very nice, lovable, sweet, respectful breath of fresh air willing to wait for him. Yes Jaemin and Su Hyeon his parents haven’t made life easy on him. But at some point that reasoning stops because nobody forced him to behave like that towards Da On. A lot of people have gone through what Su Hyeon went through but didn’t become major twatwaffles. I honestly have a hard time feeling any sympathy for Su Hyeon.

And last but not least our sunshine I’m glad that he has become Da On his relax, safe place. Even if Da On doesn’t want to admit to himself and is trying to create distance between them for Seong his protection. But I kind of felt since 2/3 episodes back that Seong can hold his own and can punch, throw back anything those other two are throwing at him. He is calm and collected when he got confronted by Su Hyeon in the elevator, he looked unfazed. Which I admire a lot.

By the way I loved the minor detail that when Da On and Jaemin were wresting (Da On trying to avoid being kissed by Jaemin) that they fell on top of the chess board. Giving it the feeling, vibe that Jaemin his game is about to end. But that could just be a guess.

Now we’ll have to wait another 6 days, it’s hasn’t been since my stand in that I have been this anxious and stressed out about a series.

Sorry for the major rant, it went longer than I wanted.

Both bottom energy? Lol don’t make me laugh. When are BL fans going to realize that Top and bottom are only sexual preferences, the same way as a Dom and a sub are sexual bdsm presences. I wonder if those fans ever heard of the word Vers or Switch when talking sexual preferences, a whole new world is going open for them if they look that one up. It has absolutely nothing to do with somebody more masculine and strong, while the other is more feminine and weaker. It’s the ridiculous stereotype that has fan saying PavelPooh instead of PoohPavel and accepting that Pooh as Charlie was the Top in Pitbabe. It’s like somebody saying you give of missionary position vibes or that you give of vanilla vibes for how you look. Or somebody telling you, you look prudish because you are shy and introverted. But if we really have to go by stereotype to discuss things, Seong protecting Da On from Su Hyeon is a big fat ass sign that he has Top energy.

You can’t really say that anymore. Not after Su Hyeon grabbing Da On his face so hard that he broke the skin to make it bleed. That in itself is abuse.

I need the people who are rooting for Da On and Su Hyeon (or Soohyun) to be together to explain to me the why? Why do you want them to end up together, when you have seen Su Hyeon being physically abusing Da On? When you see him threatening his job to get his way. Could you please explain what you see? Because clearly I’m (and others are) missing something!

Sadly it’s by leaving the situation the person thinks he has control over. So if Seong would leave the company Su Hyeon has no control over him anymore or at least he can’t threaten him anymore with his job. That same goes for Da On. But both like the job they have, also leaving could mean that Su Hyeon could possible black list both of them from the industry. They would need to move to a different city to get a job and away from Su Hyeon. All in all it’s a lot of hassle and it cost a lot of energy and money.

Last week I said that I could see Su Hyeon having a redemption arc during this series, I said I could see him accepting that Da On was with somebody else. But after episode 5 I think I need to be realistic. The last days, weeks (no idea the complete timeline of this series) Jaemin hasn’t been really in the picture, this could have been the chance for Su Hyeon, to show to Da On that he is not this violent person. To tell Da On the truth about the contract and what Jaemin did. But alas he showed the complete opposite, threatening Da On with the removal of him from the project. Last episode Su Hyeon said to Jaemin that from now on he would be protecting Da On but it seems like he needs to protect Da On more from himself, than from anybody else. The aggression Su Hyeon showed by grabbing Da On’s face, it’s not the cute gently fluffy way, he did it so hard that he made Da On bleed. It is very clear that Su Hyeon has major agression problems, you don’t want to be in a relationship with a guy who can’t control his anger and who lashes out at everything!

I said a couple of days ago that Jaemin has this mindset that he owns Da On but Su Hyeong has that same mindset. Both are incredible toxic and dangerous, Jaemin shows it mostly in manipulation and gaslighting and Su Hyeon in his aggression and control. Both are extremely obsessed by Da On.

As for the rest of the episode, the interaction between Seong and Da On was incredible fun and heartwarming to see. The moment where they were taking photos together was adorable, you could see that Da On was slowly starting to relax and lower his walls. Seong taken it up for Da On, defending him against those snotty high school friends was also a feel good moment. We got to see that Da On his attention started to go a stray from Jaemin to Seong, a very good example of that was Da On sending a message to Jaemin but got distracted by Seong his question about what he was going to wear the next day.

All in all I personally hope the next episode shows this progress but I have a hard time believing that, because even though we see Da On changing, he still is the person who lets it all happen, who is still somewhat naively.

I won’t say it’s his fault for Su Hyeon grabbing him by the face or getting aggressive/angry. But he did go willingly with Su Hyeon because he wanted to avoid Seong seeing him/them. I personally would have never put myself in a situation where I was in a closed confinement together with my abuser. Especially a car, which can be locked and hard to get out of when it’s driving.

I believe next week. It’s two episodes weekly and 4 episodes have been aired since last week.

Agreed! I can understand insecurities, what I don’t get is not communicating about it. Especially after last weeks episode where Heng got to meet Mo his parents and getting the blessings from the dad. It should have reinforced the relationship, it should have made it stronger! Heng was scared to meet Mo his parents yet he got over it and was so brave. Wished Mo had done the same thing.

You won’t need to watch from the beginning but Faifa and Wine do have a scene in episode 9 minute 8:49 and 10:42, and episode 11 minute 42:38. After that you can basically start with episode 17. You might not understand some scenes when Yotha (Faifa his brother) is talking about Faifa because part of Faifa his history is told during the YothaGun storyline. But you can always try and watch it, if you don’t understand it completely I would start with episode 9, and watch from there.

It’s fine, maybe I should have said it differently, I do t understand the point you are trying to make to me. That because I’m not able to connect with the last couple I’m somehow projecting?

There are more than enough people who have said it after the first episode aired and who stopped watching for that reason! There are a lot of YothaGun/PerthSanta fans who stopped watching it, because New made the character Yotha do a 180 in personality and actions, while making it look like Faifa was the good guy who protected Gun from his big bad brother. Just because I’m still watching doesn’t mean that I’m the only one who made that comparison. I don’t know what the rest is you are talking about. I gave my opinion as to how I feel about Faifa, I don’t know why you feel you need to comment on it!

I had it happen to me once, since then I always type out my reaction in a different app, usually I take WhatsApp. It’s just more stable, and after I’m done I just copy, paste the reaction.,

I only still watch for the small YothaGun moments. I find FaifaWine their story quite boring if I’m being honest. Mark his acting is stiff, he doesn’t really show much emotions, sorry to say for the fans who really like him. Junior is really trying but i don’t know, from the first episode of their storyline I found that Faifa came on way to strong towards Wine, he is a character that I in real life would find exhausting. It’s a bit better now, but I still can’t connect with them. Maybe it’s because I don’t like the fact that they made it seem like Yotha is a red flag, to boast the character Faifa as a green forest guy. Maybe that’s the reason I can’t connect with them. But yeah that’s my opinion so far.

It’s clear who New his favorites are! I personally can’t get connected to Faifa and Wine, only reason I still watch are the small moments between Yotha and Gun. I do like the brothers bond they share. But it’s weird that we do not see anything about Newton anymore, it’s like Faifa doesn’t have any bond with his older brother.

The three couples are basically separated by school years. Arc and arm are the first 8 episodes, than in year 2 you’ll see Yotha and Gun in episode 9 till 17. And in year 3 Wine is in his first year and the story between him and Faifa is in episode 17/18 till 24. But after episode 9 you’ll basically see all the couple share scenes. Faifa and Wine have 2 before their story starts. Faifa has had multiple scenes during the YothaGun storyline and Arc and Arm return frequently. It’s separated but also not really, because almost all the main characters are in a sort of student club (I don’t really know how to describe it) so they still see each other during events and meetings. I definitely would give it a try.

Da On freaking started it! Thay whole what if is unnecessary because it didn’t happen! Da On said Jaemin his name and Ju Seong stopped, that is all I need to know. You make it seem like Seong assaulted him, which he didn’t, it was a kiss. No touching, no stripping, no sexual act! If anybody is getting worked up over it, it’s definitely you. Seeing as you are bringing it up any time somebody is saying Seong is a green flag.

Put a sock in it will you! it was a freaking kiss, thats it. Nobody violated anybody’s body. As soon as Ju Seong heard the name Jaemin spoken from Da On’s lips he stopped. I hope you with your Holier Than Thou behavior never makes a small mistake. And if you do please hold yourself to the same standards as you seem to have for characters of a fictional series!

I feel like the people who don’t seem to understand it and seem to be confused are the people who were rooting for Jaemin. And they seem to not understand the change in personality. While me personally I saw that coming a since the first episode. There are subtle moments where you can see his real personality, not this mask he puts on. But I do agree with you that we are only half way in, still 4 more episodes, with how well this story is written, there could very well be more twists the next episodes.
