Revisiting some of the scenes during Kim's time at the hideout, I call such bullsh*t on the notion that he was faking the memory loss. There are at least two scenes where he's alone and commenting to himself in such a way that it's clear his memory is jumbled.
He also readily takes the medication that the doctor prescribed, and someone faking their condition would secretly throw it away or risk some bad side effects.
The screenwriters really must have made it up as they went, shrugging their shoulders when they realized they suddenly needed Kim to become competent and in control.
Fah and Sher are superfluous at this point. They're merely a rack on which to hang more interesting stories. They break up and make up so continuously that by the end of the series, when undoubtedly we'll be expected to believe there's a HEA, it will be impossible to believe they won't be on the rocks again a few days later.
Wow. Give Pink a couple of beers and she turns into Dr. Phil. Fah's time at the beach should have been with a female bestie instead of her. Pink has no credibility, and he confides in her at his own peril. And how could she ask to get a selfie with him when she knows how volatile his relationship is with Sher?
Apo looked hot. How about exchanging one of the boring sex scenes between Fah and Sher for one featuring Apo? Figures that he and Sher would be about to hook up and the scene would change to Pink of all people doing a product placement. SMH.
Prince and Gear are a bland confection. They're pretty but their story has little to offer, which I guess is why they get the least amount of screen time.
What's got me eager to return next week is the growing tension between Tap and Ping. I've been in Ping's shoes. He conveys the pain very well.
Em's indifference to Name is shocking. I guess now we know why he didn't run from the bus to give him a hug when he left for uni, but such insensitivity doesn't seem consistent with the kid version of the character.
Say "bye" to Champ's grandfather. If that wasn't a conversation for Champ to regret later then I don't know what is. I predict that the two will never speak again and Champ will be devastated.
First's acting has calmed down now that his character is more mature, so when he's on screen he doesn't put me on edge anymore.
Mean's character is about to begin a story arc that will prove whether he's got the acting chops. If Chompu hadn't been willing to meet Nan in person after an entire semester then you knew something was up. I was betting on her being a catfish, but once they showed she was legit I predicted what the twist would be.
The incessantly tinkling background music has got to go. It drives me bananas. Somebody must have thought that would enhance the story, like with the conversation between Name's mother and her own mother, but for me is pushed it that conversation into sentimental territory, heaping pathos upon pathos. And the phone call went on too long -- we aren't invested in Name's mom as a character and so spending so much time on that seemed unnecessary.
Anyway, they need to have the courage to believe in their own script and stop goosing it with the non-stop music.
I would have loved it if the line had been: "Doctor, what caused it?""Most likely she had a child that didn't…
When Eiw was wailing away after he'd his discovered his Mom, his freak-out was so irritating and over the top! I think I actually swore at the screen.
Peak's behavior was mind-boggling. Not only did he want to talk about his puppy love, he didn't ask Hom how she was coping with what was happening. It's a strange lapse in an otherwise solid screenplay.
Santa has improved himself 100% with this series, initially in his previous work, I thought he was okay. But I…
This is going to sound weird, but one thing I always watch for when two boys hug each other in a BL series, is whether they press their whole bodies together or they put just a bit of distance between them from the waist down, as though subconsciously not wanting their crotches to come in contact. Sometimes they compensate so much that they "lean into" the hug and it looks awkward.
Santa and Earth's hugs are full-press, "let me engulf you" hugs ... which is what it should be when two people are in love.
I like that Danny was really singing that karaoke song on-set in Episode 4. His voice wasn't drowned out by the music accompaniment and it wasn't done for laughs like such a scene often is, and it made for a sweet moment.
I can already see from the comments below that AGE is gonna be a problem in this show for the viewers. If y'all…
I hope all the anti-kiss people won't watch, otherwise every week this comment section will be swarming with people clutching their pearls at the (*gasp!*) possibility that two guys of legal age separated by 10 years might touch lips.
Where are MDL's Consent Police when you need them? Like you said, if the actors took the role then they knew what was required. They weren't handcuffed on set.
Since it seems likely that Santa and Earth are a couple in real life, their kiss in "7 Project" might have been no big deal for that reason. (And what a kiss it was.)

And it's almost an entirely independent story, which also doesn't bother me.
