I think that too. A decent human being wouldn't do that. I feel sorry for the little sister.
Sometimes I think why these poor guys don't try to learn some martial arts to be able to defend themselves and crack the "nuts" on those bastards :))

It IS ridiculous. I can't understand how it's possible in the 21st century to happen something like this. I know it's for entertainment purpose only but make it close to reality, people.

Are there no laws? Is there a jungle without rules to harass like that an employee ? Are they slaves and the boss owns them? Have employees in that country no rights?

No punishment for the gorilla from the parking lot - there was almost a rape. I know his father is a politician - but no laws? Everybody does everything they want without consequenses?

No institutions to protect Uea from a bloodsucking mother like that? He has more than enough proof to demonstrate her abuse. Maybe he could not prove the step father's sexual abuses, but why is he still visiting home, when he knows that every time he is there the bastard would try to have him? I would show my middle finger to both mom and "dad" and wouldn't see me in 100 years. And NO money.

But maybe I live my life in a different world. Which I am very grateful for.
Watching this is both annoying and traumatizing.

I think Uea is very intelligent and maybe he put those 2 crazy idiots plus his awful mom in the same room with intention. I hope it works, if the step-dad will make a move towards Ues, the crazy boss Kritt is willing do something decisive and maybe the mom will finally see and admit what happens under her own roof. To kill 2 birds with 1 stone. The problem with boss Kritt will remain. I don't think a resignation would solve it.

That care was Koyama's thing in the 1st season. Kiyoi was there and saw that it worked on Hira. He uses now the same tenderness Koyama showed in S1.

Hej Lisa :)
1 question: do you have the same impression like me, that Koyama is still in love with Hira? And that job offered by Noguchi Hiromi-san it's orchestrated by Koyama and Hiromi together?

Thank you, It sounds really nice :)
Have a great time! :)

Why unpleasant?

I was amaized with that young actor who played Hiro, Hagiwara Riku. He's perfect for this character, which requires a lot of skills and talent. Yagi Yusei (Kiyoi) is also amazing, I love his facial expressions in key moments. They are a formidable couple, I hope we'll see them again together. I saw Yagi in "Bakayarou no Kiss" (2022) but there is a little part he has, not much to show off.
Yes, I also like S2 better than S1 (only a little bit more).
I want S3, S4, S5.... :)

I have no idea what Loy Krathong is, it's significance and when. I'm an ignorant European who knows only few Christian celebrations (I am not religious). But Halloween, Xmas, New Year and Valentine's are known all over the world.

Wen found his inner peace with Jim, he said that he was tired with amusement parks, now he wants to stay home. He used to go out into amusement parks, to spend time away from Alan (this is what I understood), that apartment was like a prison cell and both were prisoners in their relationship.
What happened with Alan? How many marriages end in a divorce? In my country, statistics shows that 11 marriages out of 30 end in a divorce (2019). Is there any certainty about the relationship between 2 people?
When Alan and Wen met, they were young. I presume they have grown up on different paths. They want different things in life. Alan became violent and frustrated while Wen still wanted to be there for him when he was in hospital, and the situation was that Alan still loved Wen but Wen was detached from Alan. They didn't have too much in common anymore.

Nope, it's not :) Because there are so many things to say about this little piece of jewellery. It's concentrated in only 4 eps but everything has a meaning.
How much can Kiyoi love Hira to fight like that? There was also a gap of time (2 years?) after they graduated high school, they had no contact that time but those feelings were still there, as strong as in the beginning.
Thank you for your comment, I agree with you 100% on all points.

He had lived alone for a long time, without his parents or somebody to show him love and affection or just to talk to him. An introvert without any confidence in himself. Good in photo art and thinking even he's better than he is - Noguchi Hiromi could see through that shell, but also could see the great potential of Hiro. Don't speak about that to Hiro, he will just pull his head back into the shell, like a turtle, and disappear.
Great mini series, I will miss these 2 beautiful guys, I really love them.
Very good actors, too.

I could swear it's a very beautiful young woman. Coreean names are confusing to me, I never know by the name if it's a man or a woman.
But I had to read and to find "he" to understand it's a man. He's looking gorgeus.

Thank you :)
That's a great help for everybody that couldn't keep track with the time.
It's easy, actually, if you pay attention to the events. Even for me, an European, were obvious the Halloween, Christmas, New Year and Valentine's .
I think around 6 months.
But when you don't like a character, you tend to find all kinds of flaws and arguments :)

Lol ... I've just posted something similar and now I see your comment here. :)
Glad I'm not the only one thinking this way.

"Strangled by strangulation" :))
English language is in great pain.

That first night they had, was just sex. They had barely met eachother for few hours. I think the deleted scene/kiss was a very wise idea. They were not making love there, they had to play a scene of sex.
Kissing a stranger you've met 2 hours ago (especially from an old couple of actors, their own feelings get across the screen to the viewer) it's not what an experienced director would put in his movie.
But yes, the first kiss after Jim broke down the wall, it would have been nice to see.

I love how they use the colors to induce into the viewer the feelings necessary to understand a scene or a situation.
Alan and Wen's apartment was blue and black (cold colors), no natural light, like a prison cell. You could almost feel the coldness of that place, was depressing and sad, people living there were not happy and into a warm relationship. A small apartment where you could easy feel claustrophobic.
At the same time, Jim's restaurant ... So warm and luminous, that warm wood work .. The colors were warm, orange and light shades of brown and many Chinese lanterns. Those folding doors - so beautiful and special.
Jim's house - a home, warm and welcoming. That interior balcony, with a view into the kitchen.
I am so excited and interested in these, because my eyes are used with my Northern European architecture. Everything is so beautiful and colorful.

She is so nice :) I like her way of saying her opinions in a very nice and natural way. Even if she has something she doesn't like, she's not trying to impose her impressions and ideas into you. She's keeping herself on "her territory" without coming further into yours with a "stick in her hand", to hit you with it in your head only because you have another opinion.
She's very empathetic and sensitive, she lives in there, with the characters of the series.
Thank you for introducing her to me, I will def watch her from now.
Have a great weekend!

Agree100%, at all points.
