i loved the show so far but if they waste another half of an episode abour a fuckin groomer im gonna lose my mind
Man I was so close to dropping when I saw that we were halfway through the episode and still on the pedoline. At least it’s over… hopefully. I swear if he goes back to the Tutor I’m gonna lose it! They changed and added a lot to the adaptation that I hoped they would change the “Tutor” plot line. Wishful thinking but I hope Kanata knocks him out for making Akira feel dirty and undeserving.
Having a relationship with an older man doesn't mean he was groomed. He's legally able to have a relationship…
Don’t know if you got to it yet but he started “tutoring” Akira when he entered high school so the argument from Littlelola that Akira was 18 is irrelevant. Also, Japan only recently lowered their age of consent to 18. Not to mention the circumstances of Akira’s mental state at the time he meet the “tutor” definitely clouded his judgement. Also, if Akira was so okay with it why would he hide it? Why does he feel dirty and undeserving of Kanata’s affection? It’s so sad seeing people defend this and I’m happy to see people pushing back
you people blaming akira for being groomed are stupid
Yo that’s crazy. It’s also crazier seeing people supporting his abuse. Like he was literally not in the right mental state after being bullied by his friend just for a man to swoop in and take advantage because he couldn’t get with the age appropriate brother. “Keep our balance” yeah right. It’s clear Akira was not okay with his “relationship” with the tutor and that it messed him up. He literally feels dirty and that he doesn’t deserve Kanata’s affection. I don’t know how clear it can be.
Well… the second half of episode 5 was pretty good! Fun group trip and the confession was so emotional.
Unfortunately the “tutor”/Groomer really messed up Akira. It was revealing how he emphasized on how “dirty” he was and blaming himself for being taken advantage of. It’s sad to see the victims blaming themselves even to the point he thinks he’s undeserving of Kanata.
I wish Kanata’s anger wasn’t rooted in jealousy but rather concern for his friend. Felt like it was heading that way with his “he’s old enough for a job” comment but based on the manga I know they’re not gonna go that route.
I really want Kanata to knock out that tutor or give him a verbal wake up call.
Wow… really wasted half the episode trying to make the tutor sympathetic. Yet even skipping through those scenes it’s clear he took advantage of Kanata. That “inferior” comment was really disgusting…
Hopefully now it’ll focus more on the appropriate couple instead of grooming. I’m so close to dropping this.
Well it’s interesting and pretty funny but I don’t like the playboy type characters nor hookup culture. Haven’t seen the yaoi or read the manga but hopefully the romance develops and there’s at least a decent storyline to entertain. There’s only so much you can do with no strings to romance story and many turned out to be disappointing.
I don’t really enjoy Thai series especially ones from this production company but man this one is too good! The main leads are amazing actors and the story is enjoyable although it does feel like the pacing is dragging a bit. Could be because I am not used to hour long episodes. Hilarious and cute. I especially enjoy the cat and dog dynamic.
The sensible thing is if u were a popular actor, your agency wouldv've screened or filtered such things. Also…
For the (weak) plot. They probably needed something for the breakup tension and came up with the box of letters. Honestly, it feels like this was written as they were shooting because a lot doesn’t make sense even at the surface level.
Lee JaWoon could use more direction but overall they were fine with what they were given which wasn’t much. Honestly, they were at their best in the NC scenes which is disappointing because I prefer a decent story with character development and maybe some NC scenes if it makes sense.
Those last two episodes did not help the story and wasting a whole episode for flashback is a choice. The “reveal” was really weak and quickly falls apart if you think for more than two seconds. I don’t get why HaNeul was affected by the reveal so badly nor why he acts so differently from his previous self… could have developed the story better but most of it felt like filler and surface level instead of driving the story.
It seems they prioritized cute couple moments over a decent script.
I definitely didn’t like the SaeByeok character mainly because instead of listening to HaNeul’s valid points before the memory loss he took advantage of the situation and almost lost everything. Oh but it ends happily for that character! After probably a (few) days apart he’s hospitalized for (fake) collapsing and there goes HaNeul running after him. Bro is manipulative af and now knowing HaNeul knew all along… They’re obsessed and afraid of being alone… not in love. Perfect match for each other.
Wanna say that I’m excited to see what’s next for them but if it’s with the same production then I’m not getting my hopes up nor watching as a weekly release.
After watching the episodes so far I am 90% certain what the “twist” is and idk if it’ll be good or convoluted…
So… it’s obvious that there is a secret SaeByeok is hiding from HaNeul and I think it has to do with the original accident. From those letters written to HaNeul I think someone involved with the accident died and he blames himself for it, after blaming SaeByeok if that one flashback wasn’t a misdirection. I always thought how it was strange how Memory loss HaNeul took everything differently from his original self such as not holding up in a room and wanting to do tennis again. Even HaNeul expresses his own confusion on how his past self reacted to the accident. That’s because he doesn’t know everything that happened and I think SaeByeok is trying his hardest to keep this vital information secret to keep this version of HaNeul. The one that is not scared to continue his dreams. The version he likes better because it’s the HaNeul from before the accident… Man now that I’m working through this I hope I’m wrong because I’m gonna end up disliking SaeByeok more than I already do!
