Takara the "Cool Kid" had his eyes on Amagi-Kun for awhile!
And the first time we see Takara he's so cold to the girl who confesses! Brutal!
It made me fear for Amagi as he felt himself drawn to Takara and started talking with him. I didn't want him to get snapped at in the same way. But fortunately this is not "enemies to lovers".
i actually love their rule of solving conflicts right when they argue its really healthy
That's a rule for a lot of married/committed couples: don't go to bed angry. I guess for a group of adolescent boys they needed to change it to sound less intimate.
Such a polished script and tight production that I think it would work as a stage play. If all of the action ends up taking place in that big house then I'll start to wonder if maybe this did start its life as a stage drama.
The mother is a disaster waiting to happen, with an Elektra Complex set at "11". Her nagging got to me enough that I spoke out loud to the screen, telling her to shut up already. Thank god the car finally got stuck and Wang went to get help.
I agree that there wasn't any coincidence here. It will be fun to find out what Wang knew and how he played it.
Very happy. From the start you know they worked hard to make it fun and were willing to spend some money.
For some reason I had flashes of "Cutie Pie", maybe because of the bike racing and the difference in maturity level between the two leads. (I think that the difference is cute here, don't get me wrong. In "Cutie Pie" I thought it was creepy.)
The fact that people are born as good-looking as Prapai/Fort -- maybe they saved the world in a previous life?
The garage mechanic is precious. I love his smile and his big personality, and I like that the little coda at the end was like a soft grace note to show a sweet side of both Phayu and Rain.
I am bored as hell. Things don't seem to be progressing at all. Are they NOT allowed to talk to the guy they like…
I've started to wonder if those subtitles that comment on the action are a common feature of Korean reality TV. The show "Wild Idol" did the same thing. I know I'm talking about only two shows here, so maybe these examples stick in my mind because I dislike that on-screen commentary so much.
Chang Min has a bomb personality. He seems like a funny guy judging from the persona in a few videos i have seen…
Seriously! On that YouTube channel he talks about teaching another boy "naughty things" and discusses topics like whether he'd be willing to be a bottom (no) or if he'd be capable of having sex with a woman (no). It's the opposite of how he acted during the Jenga game.
He also mentions a boyfriend, and I don't remember what he says his job is, but it definitely wasn't catering.
The videos I've watched were made a year or more ago, but how much would a personality change since then? I suspect he was coached to play a certain type of character in this show, just as someone mentioned earlier that he was probably told who to select in the roommate shuffle.
"Used to be an orphan": He got adopted by Evan. Because that's what Mafia does. Mafia is really big on adopting…
I was thinking that even after an orphan is adopted, technically they're still an orphan.
I tried to find the answer to whether the term should still be used post-adoption but all I could find are opinion pieces on opposite sides and nothing from a more official source like a dictionary.
It's starting to seem tired. Akira's obsession over his former teacher is mystifying, and to think we're going to be put through four more episodes of this. The only new thing in the entire episode was the scene on the beach at the end. It's pretty obvious that they're filling time so that there's enough for a series. This could have easily been a 2-hour movie.
I'm losing patience and sympathy for Akira. Maybe he deserves to be alone.
I'm enjoying this more and more. This week I think the extra dose of Baiboon and Khom helped, but how did Baiboon end up scraping his knee when he fell on his ass?
Btw, how old is Baiboon supposed to be? He seems very young, and I'd hate for Khom to look like he's robbing the cradle when the two of them finally get frisky (please). Even Baiboon's phone looks like something a kid would carry around. I think we need a scene where he projects assertiveness and sexual desire, slamming Khom down on a kitchen chair and straddling his lap to first rip Khom's shirt off of him before tearing off his own.
When Cherry is with Danai she needs to work on her "I'm happy for you" face so that her "You disgust me" face isn't always doing all the work. Alas, it looks like this two-faced strategy will finally catch up with her next week.
I'm going to repeat myself and say that tiger is on something. He puts the "cat" in catatonic. I don't think his eyes ever blink.
Kamol (or "Mr. Kamol", according to the caller ID on Kim's phone) told Kim that he "used to be" an orphan. Does that mean they brought his parents back from the dead?
Also, Kamol needs to stop saying "You're worried about me" to Kim whenever Kim acts remotely like a boyfriend. It's only going to make Kim more self-conscious and stop worrying, or even worse stop acting like a boyfriend.
Kamol is (again) going to thwart Danai's plan to win the bid on the casinos. I guess he'll need something new this time. The ticking clocks in a box were a huge success but now Danai will know what to listen for.
Did they seriously put him in a sling for that little scratch?
When I first saw it I thought it would turn out that X had asked the doctor give it to him on purpose, to make Q feel more responsible. But they didn't go there.
Oh you got some great points. I didnt even think about this. I guess its so typical of the genre.
Yeah, it seems pretty clear we're being set up for Toy to get the girl.
Mook seems really down to earth. I'm glad they didn't make her a stereotypical social media influencer who would do anything to attract more viewers on her channel.
Really enjoyed Episode 2. They're not wasting any time. Q is already starting to have feelings for X, and his actual interest in Mook is being thoroughly established as questionable.
X looked amazing in that suit for his photo shoot. I like his hair that way. The stylist who said the suit wasn't a good choice needs to see her eye doctor.
Q's mom seemed discouraged by the possibility that Q would be attracted to X, and she kept him from going back to X's condo to take care of him. I hope that's not foreshadowing some annoying drama to come.
It made me fear for Amagi as he felt himself drawn to Takara and started talking with him. I didn't want him to get snapped at in the same way. But fortunately this is not "enemies to lovers".
This has "rewatch" written all over it. And I'm talking about tonight haha.

Thank you for a good laugh! I would like to be more charitable toward him but alas I think you nailed it.

I'm going to miss this series when it's over!
