Now that I understand the dialog better, I believe that at first So was thinking the way I was earlier -- that Saint wanted So to pass along the message that Saint likes Mon. But then the change in So's expression struck me as him realizing that Saint's message was about basketball.

I'm not sure that So finds Saint appealing. He never looks at him longingly. Instead he is always wary, and this was true even before he knew the connection between Saint and Mon.

In an earlier episode one of So's friends tells So that So doesn't have a lot of time. It made me think So has some kind of health issue but we're now halfway through the series and I don't remember any further hints about it.

I just rewatched. After Saint says he likes Mon too, he says he doesn't know how to tell him, but since Mon listens to So, would So tell him ...

But then Saint does get into the basketball tips so you could be right, maybe what he wanted So to tell Mon was the advice about playing.

Clever dialog to be two-sided like that!

For So to tell Saint that he likes Mon and for Saint to reply that he likes him too is one thing - but Saint is just a terrible person to look down on So to the extent that he would actually ask So to pass the message to Mon that he (Saint) likes him. What was the point of trying to crush So's spirit like that?

I can't stand people who need to put down others in order to make themselves feel good.

I don't think So will do what Saint asked (and I bet Saint knows fully well that he won't -- the point was to put So in his place) but to me it's a gaping character flaw that makes me pray to the BL gods that Saint will lose in the end.

And as for the preview for next week: who is Mon confessing to??? If it turns out to be So I think I'll end up having kittens. ^_^

But it also guarantees that the episodes that follow will be a rollercoaster ride.

This episode made me love this series. They tell the story quietly but every scene is important. Saint emerges as a more complex character than just the conceited jock, although in a spoiler below I'll have another observation that isn't so positive.

Mon and So's friendship has evolved beautifully and realistically. If I get the ending to the series that I'm hoping for it will be rewatch material for years to come.

Well you certainly have made me interested in watching! Thank you for the article.

No offense, but it's gotten to where an accidental kiss in one of these series makes me think of you. :)

The transformation of Dr. Por into somebody I'd want to hit on was a nice surprise.

As for the main character, after seeing him in only a towel I think his name should be Dr. Pecs.

At the end of the trailer it says "Fridays, 8:30pm on GMM25, reruns on demand first at 10:30pm on VIU".

So I guess if it's going to be on YouTube they'll first squeeze as much money as they can out of it on those other two platforms. So ... maybe May or June for YouTube?

I'm not saying that's wrong, but it's definitely frustrating!

This is my interpretation as well.

And if it's not going to be the "in love with my almost-brother" trope then it might as well be the "childhood connection" one.

I have a feeling that the creepy guy is the one who hooks up with Dr. Yang next week. Maybe he asked about Pun being gay in order to keep his options open. :)

lmao ... never thought of it that way, but yeah they all huddle around the laptop to do one task together!

Yes! That's such a tell!

Yes! Amp came to mind for me too.

I wonder if the laughter when kissing that you refer to is just before the final credits when Sangwoo suddenly turns and pounces on Jaeyoung, laughing as he pushes him back on the couch? My impression was that it was a spontaneous act by Park Jae Chan and that he was laughing because he knew Park Seo Ham wasn't expecting it. I don't know for sure, though.

I hope there's a BTS for that scene that I can see sometime.

"A River Runs Through It" is better than this one.

Open ending, but an upbeat one too so I can see where some would call it happy.

Jaeyoung stayed in Korea to help Sangwoo finish their project and told Dex that they should hire Sangwoo. JY is going there to work while SW stays in Korea a while longer, and if Dex doesn't hire SW then JY said he'd look for a job elsewhere.

Yes, part of the fun will be watching how that tough exterior slowly weakens as he starts to trust Aiaoon.

The most coherent episode yet. And a lot happened -- not draggy at all.

Noonan's spontaneous catwalk was hilarious! And later on seeing Milk erupt in so much happiness was surprisingly moving. The funny commentary from his co-workers up in the balcony was a nice counterbalance.

In the preview for next week, is that Dr. Yang getting busy with _____ ?

When I think of Mek I always remember him in the Ugly Duckling series (first class hottie!) and Kiss Me Again (oh, that wig ...) ;)

I'm excited to watch him in this.
