Here’s something I don’t get.
In the very beginning of ep. 10, Yi comes to see his brand new boyfriend and they stand like good little soldiers 3 feet apart, arms down their sides and recite their lines. Something just doesn’t add up here. I was even thinking maybe there’s a table between them, but nope, nothing’s there…
Don’t they want to, I don’t know, hug each other or at least touch a shoulder if they don’t want anyone to see them hugging? 🤷‍♀️

I think so :) maybe fujioshi fangirl (if you have enough space) 😉

Great job, thank you 😊 The only thing is - I don’t think Pink has a crush on Fah, I think she’s just a fujioshi wanting to see him dating Sher 😉

And she’s totally unfazed! Just hands him a drink and cuddles up to him 😂

I was honestly expecting “I finally found a right guy, it’s my after-glow”, but nooo - he finally found a right frigging skin product! 😂 I should have known better! 🤷‍♀️

Exactly! 😂 I think if I see another ex-girlfriend trope in a BL I will look like Whipped Cream when he’s tripping with that glossed over daze… 😳

I sure hope so! 😂 I’m really tired of the annoying ex trope 😸

I very much agree with you. Just a note to keep in mind - at this age, kids think that everything revolves around them and others will just stay in place while they’re out and about 😊 It’s not a malicious “you stay and wait for me!”, it’s just their genuine state of mind. It changes as they grow up, but for now it’s still an “echo” from childhood. That’s why it’s a big epiphany for Cake that Eiw made a new friend - and it’s a good thing that he starts to understand that the world doesn’t stay still.

Yeah, she’ll probably fall off once Cake goes away.
Somehow, I think they’ll bring her back once Cake is back to be that token ex-girlfriend… but I hope they can just really drop her and avoid that cliché. We’ll see 😉

Thank you 😊 As a child, I would get in fights to stand up for myself or for my friends - my family never had an issue with that. Granted, I wasn’t violent, it was rather to stop others from harassing me or my friends. A lot of times, we’d become good buddies after the fight.
Anyway, I would also task my child with teaching that friend how to fight so that they can stand up for themselves together.

Just curious, why do you think that Rin is a bad girlfriend? I don’t even remember seeing her after she’s introduced…
To me, it’s a bit strange that Rin doesn’t want to meet Cake’s friends - or maybe Cake doesn’t want her to meet them? Not sure about that one, but staying just with each other is normal for the initial phase of the relationship, but I think they have been together for a while now, so I’m surprised she doesn’t show up to meet his friends.
Also, her remarks about Cake being sweaty after playing sports - it depends on how she said it. It could be totally harmless and playful, but I see Cake took it seriously, and that’s not great.
I mean, she has every right to ask him to come to their dates cleaned up, but it shouldn’t prevent him from playing a game he likes. He really needs to manage his time better to be able to see his girlfriend and his friends, and study as well. That’s on him, not on her. If she starts being bitchy about it, then it’s up to him to break up with her.
P. S. - sorry, didn’t see your response above until I posted my original post 😂

I’m a mom, and if my child got into a fight standing up for a friend I would be praising my child instead of hitting. At least Cake’s dad was cool, but he’s scared of the mom (which is fine by me, but not in this case) 🙄
And I was happy to see Lift (he plays daddy), he’s such a good actor, I like him a lot! 😻

Exactly! To me, it’s all about a story. If the story is good I can totally survive without NC scenes 🤩 I think intimate scenes should be driven by a story, not opposite 😉

Awesome! Thank you! Now, how am I supposed to wait till it’s all aired? 😭

True. They’ll probably have them both jump to the present timeline “as is”. At least, I hope so 🤩🙏
Btw, is 180 degrees good? I am waiting for it to finish airing (which I have been unable to do for any of the other series yet) 😂

I agree - in real life it rarely works out at that young age. Too much of a difference socially, financially and emotionally. But this is a drama where the characters will fall in love at the same age, so I think it will “anchor” them to each other better than if they just met at 25 and 40.
And yes, those backhanded compliments are “priceless”! 😂 At least they acknowledge we are not dead yet! 😻🥂

Bummer. But at least they’ll have their story later 😻 Thank you very much! 😊

Can you imagine if BL finally broke into this genre? If they could deliver this kind of story with better written complex characters in a dystopian world, add some procedural to it and have this crazy chemistry of more mature characters… Yeah, let’s drink on that! 😂🥂
Btw, I am halfway through and I like it very much.

If JW stays in the past he’ll overlap with himself, which is a no-no for a time travel. So if he can’t bring JH with him to his timeline they can only be together as 25 and 40 yo.
There are plenty of healthy 40yo who look better than some 25 yo 😸 Just saying…😉

Thank you! 😊
