"Make the baby stay put!" had me on the ground. I had to rewind it twice then finally just pause it until I could stop laughing. & Ben's delivery of that line was one of his best in the series. Seriously, Ben made me a fan-for-life with that line reading alone.
I’m not saying I am the president of Souta hate club, but I will shit on him for being so dumb, ignorant, inconsiderate…
I kept giving him the benefit of the doubt because it seems he's grappling with a sexual awakening at a relatively "late" stage of development, & it doesn't seem like he's had many (if any) hetero romances (& if he did, obviously not successful ones), so I can see how all of that contributes to his being denser than a supermassive blackhole.
But then Liu Hao Shan gave him a reality check, Komachi Shimizu slapped a wake-up call into him, Miki Mahiro spoke his piece, honestly confessed his feelings & his intentions, & Ichijo Sota just...sat there. Just.. sat there, & let Mahiro walk out the door without a word.
I could hear the collective face-palm of Sota's Grandmother & all her ancestors.
After what he said to Patis last week 😒I'd be saying that was the death blow to that relationship and could…
Agreed! I expected this episode to be them finally finding the courage to set themselves free. The whole time I was watching that dinner scene, I kept wondering if I'd completely misremembered the previous episode. I know it's hard to give up on a lengthy-ish relationship, especially when your lives are intertwined, but good grief. They didn't even look convinced going home was a good idea.
I was actually relieved by Patis's actions at the end of the episode. Whatever speeds this decaying corpse of a relationship faster to its grave is a-ok by me. Although I realize the show may try to reconcile them in the end which, all right, but its got to break completely before they can kintsugi it back together.
Call me crazy but he could have that with Pawin if what's her face would get the hell on somewhere. I think he…
I am not a Pawin fan. I don't find him "sassy" or endearing, & his antics don't amuse me. He's as immature, self-centered, & bitchy as Mintra, he just looks better while doing it because he's the male rival of a female in a BL. And while he certainly treats Korn better than does Mintra (though that is a bar so low it's subterranean), his petty personality traits when Korn isn't around to see are distasteful.
Long-term, I just think Korn is better off without either of them. While I'm at it, I don't care for Korn much either but he's the least unlikeable of that triangle, so I'm mostly rooting for him.
I detest both Pawin & Mintra, & just want Korn to get out of that toxic house, work on being less of an easily-manipulated idiot, get to know himself, realize his dreams, & maybe find a sane partner w/ whom to pursue a healthy relationship.
Thana & Patis just need to call it quits. Their relationship seems to have come to a natural end, as many relationships do. They aren't on the same page or the same path, & they're just hurting themselves & each other.
Should've jettisoned the silly amnesia plot & given us one solid episode of Kiew explaining to Art why he's boinking his son. I would've paid money to watch that scene unfold. It doesn't seem that Kiew slow-dripped any of the time travel love story stuff over the 20-odd years he waited on Bamee, so I don't imagine Art's going to be too keen on his childhood friend marrying his kid.
THAT would've actually been an interesting, somewhat fresh take on the time travel trope. Only Kiew & Bamee remember the other timeline where they fell in love as youthful college boys; Bamee's still a college boy but Kiew is a 40-something, world-travelling architect, a fully-grown man with two extra decades separating him from the youth with whom Bamee fell in love. Watching the two of them making it work in their new reality would've been a far better story arc than...*gestures at show*...what we got.
Ah well. Maybe someone will finally give Cooper the quality script he deserves. He's always a delight to watch.
"Chains of Heart" had a happy ending. They are going to reunite at the sister's wedding, on the 7th day of the…
No, I'm not kidding. The two lead characters were going to reunite & be together; that qualifies as a happy ending within that story's universe.
It was as badly scripted as the rest of that trainwreck of a show, & I legitimately didn't care about their love story one way or the other, but it was still a happy ending. Unless Ken got choked out somewhere while travelling to the wedding...
