To understand the present you have to know their past.

Jeps, that's the point :)

Sorry, @AskMe, I know you like SW. It's just my opinion.

My husband is 9 years younger than me :) We've been married for 20 years and still going.
Age is just a number.
SW doesn't deserve the young and lovely YH and none of the men in the house. He has to solve his personality/character issues before engaging in any relationship. He has to learn to be honest first of all. Otherwise all his relationships would fail.
Sorry, this is my own opinion.

Det var så lidt!
God weekend! :)

As I remember, Kazuma's mom became in the last 10 years a successful fashion designer. And she makes 1 shirt every year for Kazuma, special made, handmade by herself.

That is only 1 shirt like that. Maybe Kazuma's mom washed that before she sent it? :)

The fact is that that shirt was used by the both manga and screenwriter to make a connection with Kazuma's mother. You can imagine, when she met Ren and looked only 1 second to him she knew that Kazuma is intimate with him now :)
They had to make this connection somehow.

Honest, I can't understand what those guys see in him. I wrote somewhere else here: from the day 1 I couldn't stand him, when I see him I think "Vampire". Sucking compliments, praise, cards, telephone calls, voicemails, etc. Thinking "How many?" instead of "Who?".
That smug smile on his face when talking with JS in the kitchen when he thought he has SH in his pocket. And after JS told him there is only 1 man in the house he is interested and his feelings are beyond only liking SH, all the smile disappeared :)) He started panicking.
Such an undecided and vague person, not being able to say straight what he thinks or feels, putting that young and sweet YH in a difficult position, making him hoping. It's like his purpose is to get admirers not 1 boyfriend.

True. Why did he need to explain, thinking about misunderstanding? Does he think that JW is stupid? That JW can't judge alone what is friendship and what is romance?
And the way he chose to explain :(( He could simply say "Thank you for today, I am glad to make a friend." and JW was not hurt. Now he cut any nice connection to JW, it's only politeness back.

In my opinion, at his age, he is hilarious. He should know better and behave concording to. He's more interested in others business instead of taking care of his own. He makes things whithout thinking on consequences, not aware that whatever happens there, one or two people get hurt. Maybe he doesn't care.
About needing praise and compliments all the time to make him feel better... what to say? I can't stand the man. I've had this thought on my mind when watching him from day 1: "vampire" :))) Sucking compliments and wanting as many cards/telephone calls as possible, to enhance own ego and to get self confidence. Sung Ho,Yeon Hee or whoever would have to tell him all day how great he is. Exhausting.

I think he was cruel. He could explain things in another way.

If everybody asks "What can we do about that" then nothing will ever change...

Click! And power is off :))

I agree with you.
But judge people after their own mistakes, not their siblings or their parents. Forever judged because of the family it's crap. I would never feel guilty or indebted for something a member of my family did wrong.
Those bullies and frustrated without self-esteeme that need to hate others in order to feel themselves better would never succeed if society changes mentality. People should think accidents and unfortune could struck anyone anytime.

I will never be able to understand why children have to pay for their parents mistakes. "The son of a murderer" and all that crap. It's sickening. To destroy the life of an innocent and wonderful boy because his father was an idiot. And we are in the 21st century.

I live in Scandinavia and the mentality here is exactly the oposite.
The main thing we try to do when raise our childen is to teach them to be independent from very young ages and be able to take own decisions. From nursery. Parents/teachers are in the shadow, watching over them but always putting a little space between, because children are small people with a right to a personal space. Trying not to suffocate them.
We use to say that "If my child would not say when 18 that wants to move from home, it means that somewhere in his/her upbringing I did a big mistake". Kids are watched in schools and they try all kinds of activities, to discover their abilities/skills and what they like to do then are asked if they want to pursue that path they are good at. Nobody pushes children towards anything.
I'm a translator and I heard these words few days ago, there were a family from abroad and a social worker which after a 1.5 hour discussion back and forth started to lose patience: "Tell them that in Denmark, if the boy wants to become a clown in Tivoli, then he has the right to become that!" :)) Tivoli is a huge amusement park in Copenhagen. I was sorry I couldn't take a picture of father's face that moment.

I am not.
But I don't understand: when the parents become old and weak, why all these manipulated and dominated children do the same to their own children?

No matter how much I like Yang Yang, I will just drop this. I'm really sick with all these dramas where the parents decide their kids' lives, making them unhappy and depressed. Parents have too much power over their own children. It's frustrating. Which kind of parenting is that to tell to your daughter "You are in that hospital only because of your name". It's sick. In which century are we now?

Hi :) No, it's not that.
If you watch again episode 4, right after his father disowns him, "I just wanted to see you, that's all" issue. Ren in that moment is certain that Kazuma will die.
They were just kids. I would jail those parents, the trauma Ren had. Instead of helping him, his family pushes him to the edge.
