My March Recommendation movie

Watched this for my Recommendation Challenge from 𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕1221. Let’s talk movie…

The story follows Wu Ming-han (MH), a hot-headed, homophobic, and highly superstitious police officer. Because of his brash, arrogant & reckless behavior on the job, his superior officer assigned him to neighborhood cleanup duty (picking up trash) as a disciplinary punishment.

While he was grumbling and picking up litter with his tongs, he spotted the red envelope in the street. Thinking it was just another trash to be cleared, he picked it up—and that's when an old lady yelled and suddenly the rest of the group appeared & surrounded him, claiming he was the chosen groom. According to local folklore, this means he has "consented" to a ghost marriage with the deceased owner. The owner is Mao Mao (MM), a young gay man who died in a mysterious hit-and-run accident.

Terrified and unwilling—especially because the groom is a man—MH tries to refuse. But after experiencing a series of bizarre and life-threatening incidents, he has no choice but to go through with the ritual.

To his horror, after the wedding, MH begins to see and communicate with MM. Unlike the scary vengeful spirit MH expected, MM is not scary and quite quirky. MM simply can’t move on to the afterlife because he has "unfulfilled wishes."

The two strike a deal: if MH helps MM fulfill his final wishes and uncover the truth behind his death, MM will move on to the afterlife and leave MH alone.

As they investigate, they discover that MM’s death wasn't just an accident—it was a hit-and-run committed by a notorious drug lord, Lin Hsiao-yuan—a target MH is already pursuing. Now, two missions become one, MH and MM work together: MH handles the real-world investigation, while MM uses his ghostly abilities to assist from the shadows.

Through their journey, MH begins to change—not just about spirits, but about love, identity, and what it means to truly see someone.

And when the final moment comes… How will it all end?
Will MM finally find peace—and cross over to the afterlife?
Or will he simply… disappear?

That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoilers.

What I like:
+ Some scenes are simply just hit the spot, some are funny (like when MH first met MM), but some are also so sad (like the last scene).
+ When prejudice meets their karma not all end up bad…
+ The unexpected betrayal….

What I’m not too like:
- The scene sometimes is just too exaggerated & silly.

Overall this is a really good movie to watch….

My Aug 2025 recommendation

Long time this drama sit in my PTW, but thanx to Recommendation Challenge & 𝘿𝙚𝙚𝙥, I finally watch this drama…

As usual, I’m not particularly fond of remakes, because I can’t help but compare them to the originals. And more often than not, I prefer the original—though there are a few exceptions. Turns out, this one is another exception.

Now let’s dive into the story…

This is the story of 3 children from 3 imperfect families who find comfort in each other and form a family of their own.

The story begins with Yun Jeong Jae (Yun papa), a single dad raising his only daughter, Yun Ju Won (JW). One day, he is introduced to a young woman through a matchmaking program. This young woman, Kang Seo Hyeon (SY), is also a single parent raising her son, Kang Hae Jun (HJ). Yun papa and SY are supposed to be a potential match, but things don’t go as planned. SY mysteriously disappears, leaving her son behind. Instead of abandoning HJ, Yun papa decides to raise him as his own, alongside his daughter JW.

Meanwhile, another family moves into the apartment above them — the Kim family. Kim Dae Uk (Kim papa), his wife Kwon Jeong Hui (JH), and their son Kim San Ha (SH). The Kim family moved after an unfortunate incident involving their late daughter, Kim So-jeong (SJ). SH accidentally caused his sister’s death, which has become a source of immense grief and tension in their family — especially for his mother, JH, who blamed SH entirely.

Unable to stand seeing how SH is treated at home, Yun Papa—moved by compassion—tells JW to befriend him and invites him over for meals. When JH can no longer endure her own bitterness — especially after seeing how happy SH thanks to JW, she decides to leave the family and move out, abandoning SH in the care of JW and her father.

And so, their unconventional “family” begins: two fathers—Yun Papa as the nurturing heart, Kim Papa as the quiet provider—raising three children: Yun Ju-won (JW), Kang Hae-jun (HJ), and Kim San-ha (SH).

They grow up together, bound by love rather than blood. JW always refers to HJ and SH as her brothers, and they fiercely defend each other against anyone who speaks ill of their unconventional "family".

When they reach high school, JW gains another ally in her best friend, Park Dal (PD), who always stands by her against the whispers about their unconventional family.

Things get complicated when SH’s mother (JH) suddenly returns, this time bringing along her new daughter, Jung So-hee (JSH). The situation worsens when JH is involved in an accident that kills her new husband and leaves her with a leg injury requiring long-term physical therapy. Leaving SH with no choice but to take on the responsibility of caring for her.

At the same time, HJ faces a shocking revelation: his biological father, Yang Dong Gu (DG), is alive. DG had abandoned HJ and his mother years ago to marry into a wealthy family. But things didn’t go as he had hoped — he never had another child. Now he wants HJ back, hoping to groom him as his heir. But this means HJ would have to move to the US.

At first, HJ was completely against the plan. He doesn’t want to leave Yun papa or their family. But with the financial burden of pursuing university looming over him—and with a friend’s encouragement—he finally agrees to take advantage of DG’s offer—not for the inheritance, but to secure his future at a university in the US

So, as their senior year ends and university life awaits, both HJ and SH face the reality that they will have to go their separate ways from their unconventional "family" and leave JW behind.
At first, they all do their best to keep in touch. But as time passes, their communication grows less frequent. Before they realize it, ten years have flown by. One day, HJ and SH suddenly return to their small hometown.

At first, JW feels awkward meeting them again — familiar faces, yet distant connections. But slowly, they fall back into their old rhythm, rediscovering the warmth and comfort they once shared. However, beneath the surface of those old bonds, new feelings begin to emerge—especially between SH and JW.

For SH, who has always found comfort and security in JW, his feelings have long grown into something more than just that of a sibling. And now he now wishes to explore something more than a sibling bond.

Now the question is: What will JW’s answer be to SH’s feelings? If the feelings are mutual, how will their family react — especially Yun papa and Kim papa?

That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers. Now the difference between 2 dramas… I’ll try to keep it spoiler free…

The difference:
* After watching the Korean version (FBC) the first obvious difference is the romance between JW & SH with Li Jian Jian (JJ) & Ling Xiao (LX). After watching this, it became more obvious Go Ahead (GA) romance is so weird & forced. Especially when LX kinda forces his way a little bit into JJ.
* The way FBC portrays SY as a more loving mother than GA is leaving a bigger impact. From early on we can clearly feel & see how much SY loves HJ, it’s kinda not believable if she just leaves HJ behind for no reason. In GA, He Zi Qiu (HZQ)'s mother feels more detached, not as loving as here.
* SH’s mother is painfully b*tch in both dramas. But here, she’s more tolerable. FBC put more into her perspective, in GA, I don’t really understand why LX’s mother is so toxic, and doesn’t want to let him go. With a little of her perspective from here, I think I understand her better.
* No unnecessary friend drama. In GA, JJ at one time had problems with both of her friends. Sometimes yeah that’s just added unnecessary screen time…
* The feeling of Yun Papa & SY is more subtle than in GA. We can’t really see that Yun Papa is mesmerized by her & falls at the first sight when they met back then. It's just like they just added this story cause in GA they ended up together, so it's just 1 tiny detail they can’t change.
* The way they make JW the one pursuit bakery than HJ is also better & makes a little sense. The one that has a sweet tooth is the one pursuing making cake, better then one just learning to please the other, like JJ & HZQ.

Overall this really interesting intake of the remake of Go Ahead…. Happy to watch this… ^^

Quite a buzz this is on the feeds makes me curious to watch. So, let’s start with the story…

Story about Da On (DO) & his 3 men. Haha…

DO’s company just hired a batch of new employees, and his boss assigned him to mentor one of them—Ju Seong Hyeon (SH). And yes, as MDL told us in the summary, the relationship between DO and SH becomes increasingly ambiguous as time progresses.

Then there’s Sin Jae Min (JM), DO’s long-time friend and former tutor. Over time, JM becomes more than just a mentor—he turns into DO’s crush. And while viewers can clearly see that JM sees DO as more than just a friend or student, he never fully acknowledges or acts on his feelings, keeping his emotions locked away for reasons he keeps to himself.

The third man in the mix is Kim Su Hyeon (SY), the company heir. He used to be close friends with DO, but things changed when he suddenly distanced himself. Later, we learn that SY made a deal with JM to stay away from DO.

Things get complicated when SY returns to the country and starts working his way back into DO’s life.

So… how will this messy love square play out?

That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers.

Overall, the drama was compelling enough for me to remember it. But honestly, It just filled with a bunch of dumb, manipulative people and controlling assh*l*s trying to control DO.
Thankfully, we still have Seong Hyeon (SH) as the one bright spot in all of this. Offering a much-needed breath of fresh air for DO.

Quite curious about this one. And now I've finished watch this, let's talk drama...

Story about Baili Dong Jun (DJ), the young master of the Marquis of Zhenxi's mansion . Despite of his status, he's one happy go lucky man that never care about join the 'family business'. His goal is to be the best wine brewer, because he like to drink & later we find out he also already made a promise with his friend Ye Yun (YY) to become Liquor Deity.

At first, DJ also not really care about martial art. But however, fate had other plan for him. His journey in martial art begin with DJ snatch the important sword & also the death of his master. DJ's master death, make him go to school of Li Chang Sheng, the top master in the world, and beginning to learn martial arts. Along the journey DJ find out he's born with special nature for practice martial art & there's a clan that already had an eye for him to practice their teachings.

Short story, in the martial art world, DJ find many friends & companion. He's also find his old friend YY, whose the world think was dead. And of course DJ also excel in his martial art & made quite a name for himself. But of course trouble also comes knocking the door. The more DJ excel in his martial art, the problem comes not only from martial art world, but also from politic that involve the emperor & other kingdom.

So how will they journey be in motion...

That's pretty much the story. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ The interesting people. Start from DJ himself, to his teacher until YY.
+ The hidden BL. Oh come on don't lie to ourself this is not hidden BL. DJ's relationship with YY is more than friends in heart. Although they kinda cover it with the existence of the woman in their life.
+ No real bad guy. It's all about obsession in the end.

What I don't like:
- A little too much CGI nonsense of the martial arts moves.
- DJ is too pure for a man. Until feel so stupid, he never make his relationship with Yue Yao official for that many year.
- Times feel so damn slow. The most can be felt when YY child start to show up. That child seem not grow up. I know maybe they try to cut corner in hiring guess child actor. But that child from age 3 to age 5 doesn't change at all, is a little bit too much...

Overall this quite good martial art drama this year.

Watch this because the trailer looks interesting. Turn out Alan & Jeff from pit babe. Ok let's discuss drama…

Story about Oab & Plawan. Oab is a famous chef, one day, in need of money & lost motivation for his cooking, he decided to sell his restaurant. But since his restaurant is in a strategic place, many money making developers try to buy the restaurant just for its location, they plan to destroy the restaurant itself. Not willing to back down, Oab announced to the world he was looking for the successor of his restaurant, the requirements: they needed to have money to buy the restaurant from him… So with that the competition for the successor of the restaurant began…

Plawan is a model / food blogger, who loves Thai basil stir-fry. He tried many restaurants for their Thai basil stir-fry. One day he got kicked out of Oab’s restaurant because he's noisy, so Plawan decided to take ‘revenge’ when he saw Oab’s announcement for his successor. The only problem is, Plawan CAN'T cook. But since he was determined to get into the competition, he started to learn to cook Thai basil stir-fry. And in the end he successfully entered the competition…

Methas is one of the money making developers who try to buy Oab’s restaurant. Since Plawan didn't have the money to buy the restaurant from Oab, Plawan made a deal with Methas. With the help of Plawan’s friend, JJ, Plawan will receive the money in parts for every stage in the competition. If he fails, he must return the money to Methas.

So, how well will Plawan do in the competition?

That’s pretty much the story. Now what I like and don’t like.
What I like:
+ The chemistry between Pon Thanapon Aiemkumchai & Sailub Hemmawich Kwanamphaiphan. Quite surprised to see Pon as Plawan. It’s quite a different character from Jeff in Pit Babe.
+ The stupid love story between JJ & Methas. Their relationship is the definition of getting yelled at until you fall for it… Haha… Yeah, JJ is quite different from all Methas acquaintances. JJ never sucked up to Methas even though he has the money.
+ JJ is really a good friend, even to the point of stupid, for Plawan.

What I don’t like:
- Everything like it’s already destined or scripted.
- They completely forget the fact that Oab look for his successor that have MONEY.... Never once Oab ask the one join the competition about their finance

Overall this quite good story to watch….

the finish line

This is the perfect ending to close the curtain. Really love to see them go into work force. Love to see how Third and Khai manage to work on their relationship. Love to see them grow into better adult.

Really2 love how Khai stay truth to Third, even when he wants to hide something, finally his self conscious speak & how he listen to it. That's what really make Third & Khai relationship stay stronger. The trust & openness in their relationship really speak volume in this short closer.

I really happy this special ep really really tell the unfinished story about the stories yet to be told, not just the director cut that's not make to the final screen but too dear to throw away.

Weird title but good drama

The earlier drama of Off-Gun. Let’s watch this….

Tell the story of 4 friends, but 3 kinds of love stories. All of them are students of filmology major and a member of the Savage Team, a team of students that do the school task with their own speciality. Third as the director & screenwriter, Khai as the sound guy, Two as the photographer & Bone as the editing guy. All of them are the top tier students that every girl has a crush on.

1st, Third & Khai.
Tell the story about Third who is secretly in love with his own best friend, Khai. Khai is a straight guy, who changes his girlfriend like he changes his clothes. Third, endure 3 years of friendship with Khai, seeing him flirting with many girls in front of his eyes. After 3 years, finally Third decided to snap out of his dream. But as people always said, talk is easier than action. Because although as easy as it is to fall in love, to stop is just as hard. And everytime Third wanted to give up his feelings for Khai, Khai did something sweet to him & made his heart flutter again. That is until one day Third learns a secret that breaks his heart completely.

But ironically when Third decides to stop his feelings & continue with his own life, Khai on the other hand just realizes his own feelings for Third and decides to start chasing Third. What will their relationship become…?

2nd, Two.
Two is a photographer guy that catches many girls' attention with his skill that makes the girl he takes pictures prettier. But it turns out, Two has a long crush with his high school friend, Lynn. But unfortunately, Lynn also has a long relationship with her boyfriend. One day, Two and Lynn meet again when Lynn becomes a model for Two’s photography class. And after that they start communicating again. One day, Two opportunities came when Lynn & her boyfriend broke up. But on the other hand, Two’s eyes also start to catch one senior that’s showing more attention to him. Who will Two choose in the end, Lynn or the senior…?

3rd, Bone.
Bone likes to flirt with a girl too, but unlike Khai, he's not a player. Bone work in the coffee shop. One day, he met Paan, when he's about to close the shop. But because he doesn't have her contract info, he waits for her everyday in the shop, until he even forgets about his classes & study. Because he never went to class, the new teacher almost failed him, but luckily Two warned him so that day Bone went to class just to find…. The woman in his dream, Paan, teaches the class. So what will happen with Bone & his teacher? Will he win Paan’s heart?

That's pretty much about the story without giving too many spoilers. Now what I like & don't like.

What I like:
+ The reality of Third and Khai relationships that most of us can rely on. Many of us are also that's stupid when it comes to love. And the cure is only one, get the hell away from that person & give urself activity to distract urself at first. And I love when Third really decided to give up, he makes himself busy.
+ U get to witness First hand Karma is b*tch. Haha… When it is time for Khai to chase after Third, he gets his own taste of karma….
+ How Khai really repents himself for Third. Sometimes I don't really believe the story of a playboy who changes himself for someone. But seeing Khai's effort really sincere.
+ The friendship between 4 of them. Especially when Bone & Two decided to side with Third instead of Khai…
+ It just doesn't ending with them graduation, hut a little peek about them in the work place & still as a team
+ No over the top s*x scene. Just some kiss here & there, even when they all already with their partner

What I don't too like:
- Seeing Third as a stupid man. But Gun Atthaphan Phunsawat is really one good actor, he can make us feel how painful Third is.

Overall this is a good drama to watch.

Below I'll write what I quite like and don't, but with SPOILER ALERT!!! So read it at your own risk!












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

+ Bone is really one good guy. He does the right thing with Paan & her boyfriend
+ In this drama we get to see, not all first love / long crush comes fruitful. And I also love the fact that Two is quite honest with Lynn when his feelings change. Although it's also quite pain to see Lynn when she's once again being betrayed by man who said he love her.
+ The funny thing about old drama, we can see one actor with another couple, not with their current ship/couple, that actually kinda surprised me with Thai BL. Of course I talk about Earth Pirapat Watthanasetsiri, seeing him doesn't partner up with Mix Sahaphap Wongratch quite catch me off guard.

- The bullshit accident. When someone crash that bad like Khai, it's kinda impossible to walk. Yet alone he can reach Third place. Yeah although i don't know how fat & how adrenaline can pump ur energy. Still BS thing

Such a shame...

Quite sometime heard about this drama. After watching I feel like sometimes I really don't understand Japan taste...

Story about 2 man, Tanada Yoh & Segasaki Mizuki. Two man living together, not because they have relationship, but more of a contract. Yoh cooks and cleans & Segasaki provided food & shelter. In addition Yoh must "obey everything that Segasaki says". What will comes from such a contract?

That's pretty much about the drama. Now as usual what I like and don't like.

What I like:
+ The good story telling. They made us, who watch, understand about Segasaki & Yoh feeling for each other.
+ The 2nd couple. Manju & her husband. They're good couple & good friends.

Now what I don't like:
> I agree the most with what SapphireQ wrote. It feel we walk at the same place from the 1st ep till the last, nothing change.
> Even though they made us understanding about the couple, but they don't made the couple understand each other.
> So, from the first ep till the last, Yoh & Segasaki, had communication problem. They're 2 introvert individual who don't talk about their own feeling with each other
> Such a shame, cause when Yoh had problem with his job & he almost open up to Segasaki, it's all just voice in the heart & not word comes out of his mouth. I really wish this is the time their relationship will take a drastic turn, but now I must shallow my disappointment instead.

Overall this just another drama in my list. Such a shame, they have great story telling, but not so much with the implementation.

My June 2024 Recommendation Challenge

Watch this for my June Recommendation Challenge by Muimui94. Ooff... What a ride.... Never I think watch a drama with so many meaningful things that we can adapt to our own life...

The story about one crazy teacher, Hiiragi Ibuki. 10 days before 3rd grade graduation, he gathers his students of class 3-A & end up take hostage of them. His purpose, to investigate the reason of the death of one of his student in class 3-A, Kageyama Reina. He bomb the school to barricade his students from outside world. And from there he launched his own way of investigation about Reina's death.

And by the end of the drama u'll end up understand. That Ibuki's purpose not simply to investigate the reason of Reina's death. But also to give his final lesson for students in class 3-A about their life & simple action that will affect their future & other people.

Below I'll gonna write what I can gathers or my thoughts about Ibuki's lesson day by day... Hope not too drift away from the drama. And I think this this time I write quite save review & not give spoiler about anything too...

Lesson 1: Be careful with ur thought (Kayano Sakura for thinking she killed Reina) & tongue (words sharper than knife)

Lesson 2: When u've lived ur life without listening to people's opinions, u've become a human who couldn't feel anything. Ur little action can corner someone until they feel no way out or make them feel at the highest happiness.

Lesson 3: When there's some obstacles in ur future, there're 2 way out, positive or negative. (+) You either not hating the obstacle or anything that make u jealous or regret about it, or u try ur hardest to beat the obstacle. (-) u put all ur negative thought to it, by become jealous with someone greater than u or hating anything that's obstruct ur way.

Lesson 4: U don't need to carry the burden urself. When u shared ur burden, there will be someone can help lift it up. What u need to do just ASK FOR HELP.

Lesson 5: U don't need to do shameful things or trampled on someone to moving forward or becoming what's ur best self.

Lesson 6: Whatever u put on the internet never go away.

Lesson 7: When people need guidance give it with genuine care & emphatic.

Lesson 8: Think carefully before u act. What we should do by putting ourself in other person's shoes

Lesson 9: If u get stabbed by knife, u'll feel the pain. But today society so busy with their busy life until don't notice those obvious things (the little thing that more hurtful than get stab by knife). The things we did to hurt others, if someone did it to us, would actually hurt us too. Once again putting ourself in other person's shoes.

Lesson 10: Be careful with ur fingers (on keyboard or cyber bullying).

Overall this really one good drama to watch. But be careful too, when ur not ready to watch this, it can stab u the wrong way...

There will be Thai adaptation of this drama, with one of the cutest couple of Thai BL. So since I want to comapre both of them, I decided to watch this first. And yes after watching this, I can imagine Fourth & Gemini as the chosen one. Haha...

But first thing first. Let's talk about this drama...

A story about the introvert Ida Kousuke & outgoing Aoki Sota. One day Aoki borrow eraser from his friend, Hashimoto Mio, that turn out on the eraser there's Ida's name & Ida saw it & the whole misunderstanding began...

At first Aoki like Mio and he heart broken cause Mio like Ida. Ida, who turn out to be a VERY SERIOUS person, think about Aoki's confession very seriously & also about his own feeling for Aoki. And upon time, cause this still romance drama, of course Aoki feeling toward Ida slowly change. And finally they become a couple.

And Aoki & Ida journey as a couple not really easy-going & happy-go-lucky all the time. It fill with a few prejudice & silly misunderstanding.

Ok that's about the story. Now what I like and don't like...

What I like:
+ The cute Aoki & 'stupid' Ida. Owh they the magic couple that we never imagine could click, but somehow work.
+ The cute and adorable 2nd couple. Just like jpny01, I also more like Aida Hayato and Hashimoto Mio story. Their story progression is really cute & adorable.
+ The very supportive friends, like Aida & Mio, also Mio club friends & Ida volleyball club friends that never judge Ida & Aoki.
+ They bring out a little bit about teacher prejudice. Like when the teacher just assume the worst when he see Aoki outside the hotel with a man.

What i don't like:
- Yeah like jpny01, I also start getting bored by the repetitive problem of Ida & Aoki. Really wonder how the Thai version gonna steer the plot....
- The coward Aoki. Until the end not so much change in Aoki's character. He still that coward boy. Although he said he didn't want anyone to know about his & Ida's relationship cause he afraid it effect Ida's team mate attitude toward Ida. But in my eyes it just Aoki cowardness, that make him afraid to face and acknowledge Ida as his boyfriend to the world.

Overall this one cute fluffy youth drama....

Dissapointed ending. SPOILER ALERT!!!

Have you ever lower the score cause the happy ending? Well this exactly what happen with me & this drama. The happy ending left sour taste in my mouth, forcing me to give this drama quite low score. For you who still don't understand & feel the need to ask... Yes this has HAPPY ENDING, but for me better leave this with the sad or open ending than this happy ending. Or just leave this like Hotel Del Luna kinda ending is still better....

As usual save review first. AKA what I like about this drama.
+ The chemistry between Kim You Jung & Song Kang.
+ The growth in character Do Do Hee (DH) & Jung Koo Won (KW). Like to see them falling with each other, start to care & built their relationships. As well we also can see how KW more & more human each time he get closer to DH.
+ Although KW is demon with all the power possible, he still need the help of Park Bok Kyu to do stuff for him. Like investigation etc...
+ The cute relationship between Shin Da Jeong & Park Bok Kyu. Never expected, yet no surprise see them as a couple,
+ Jin Ga Young, Joo Seok Hoon, Joo Chun Sook. Like all these character. They being normal human that show us we each has our selfishness in doing our things, yet they not so evil that willing to sell theirselves to evil to achieve something.
+ The most interesting thing this drama give us. The sad truth face of human. There's always 2 kind of people, when devil knock on ur door. 1st is like Joo Chun Sook, turn over when see the demon herself. The other is like the last person, after make a deal with the devil, but when the devil ask us for our part of our deal, still do everything possible to avoid it, even lying through our teeth....

Overall this just another drama to fill ur days... Below is SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
Now the sour taste in my mouth....
- They never really explained to us why Noh Suk Min want DH died. Or maybe just me missed it.... At first yeah maybe because of the inheritance, but later... WHY...? That's the point that I still don't understand.....
- Everything just end too beautifully. It's like the original plan is to close with sad ending, but someone just smash the table and scream I want HAPPY ENDING! And so here we are now... For me better close with KW still gone & the last reunion just happen in DH's dream. It's like KW said final goodbye to DH. It's more poetic & beautiful ending. Than this force, weird & ruinning happy ending.
