So did Suar kill the guy? It was ambiguously presented. Could it be that eventually he didn’t?

And as usual the rating is ridiculous.

It does exist. Each uncut episode is over 50 minutes.

The whole dancing was Phitcha's mother pressure, he clearly did not want to do it in the first place. She is selfish af.

I don't know if anyone had this take but this story - consciously or not - is actually a fierce indictment against the Asian institute of filial piety with its selfish and abusive parents eventually wrecking the lives of their kids, making them turn into either monsters or living dead zombies in the fake, mendacious name of parental love, care and concern.

You are clearly a typical foamy-mouthed virtue signaller who jumped on a fashionable bandwagon based on pseudo-scientific headlines just to feel relevant and morally superior. It is quite amusing when your ilk talks about being educated. Lol.

I say it is normal simply because it is a part of our life and it is not going anywhere. Learning to use it sensibly is much more effective for the future than this hysterical luddite tantrum your kind demonstrates, but you might realise this too if you have the chance to go beyond the IQ and EQ level of a 12 years old.

Whether I like AI or not has feck all to do with the fact the filmmakers need to portray realistic situations and a spoiled city yuppie kid using AI to ask about agricultural methods is the most realistic take in 2026, so it is clear and logical they go for this in a script. They have no obligations to join your culture war. Not grasping this is a clear evidence one does not have to use AI to have the critical thinking ability of an aamoeba.

AI usage is a part of 2026, and it is normal. Switch down your hysteria.

Oh poor abusive old man who tortured his son physically and mentally throughout his life was "triggered" by his son saying he loves someone the old monster was oppsing. My heart is breaking for him. Oh wait, no. Well-done. Hopefully that human garbage rots in hell. Lu Feng should have opened a bottle of champagne.

How could the sister know the letters were not delivered to him?

Who cares? That bastard deserved to die.

And immature, one-dimensional purist toddlers with zero life experience will stay what they are as well.

The house was probably a shared heritage or if not there must be more to the story, and they apparently agreed about this, it was told Minoru had talked to the solicitor and that Kuji had also approved the solution. Kuji may get his compensation from his brother and not just thrown out to the street. I am not saying this is the case but I don’t know why people jump to such asinine conclusions knee-jerk.

Don't let the door hit you in the arse the way out.

Your last paragraph sums up everything and not just about this episode. And it is all very Japanese.

Azuma's mother probably wanted to tell his son it is okay to slow down in his life and that she probably knows too that he is gay and that it is okay also, but she refrains in the last moment.

Kuji 's father probably wanted to express his emotions to both of his sons but he could not jump over his own stern and rigid shadow.

Azuma's father was not a very reliable breadwinner but he tried to be a good father in his own way to his kids, and in a very subtle way as the previous episode proved, by translating a book specifically tailored it to his son.

I think there is quite a chance Fumiko has something she would tell Azuma as well about their sibling dynamics, yet she does not.

It is all very, very subtle, sensitive, heartwarming and painful at the same time.

This is the typical gaslighting technic of Asian dramas to whitewash, justify and even romanticize parental abuse by trying to portray it as a form of care and love which is a disgusting lie.

Yeah, my poor child must be mistreated by others so let's just make his life a living hell at home instead, beat the shit out of him, abuse him physically and mentally over years and even blame the death of his mother on him (instead of the father who really caused it), out of "pure parental love" and "good intentions". What a glorious protection. It makes me puke.

Kamfah was a human garbage who deserved to be in prison and left alone till he rots in hell.

Please make another comment about Scent going to hike in office clothes.

So far only every second comment is about that and we really need more, preferably twice in every hour at least.

I see the zero-nuance, 100% knee jerk instinct-driven children are out there here in full force again.

Scent has just returned to his home after graduation. He apparently studied abroad and it is very likely he has no idea about the shady and dodgy actions his father and uncle clearly made behind the scenes.

But yeah, he is the devil incarnate for going to North Thailand and trying to bring someone from a northern tribe to Bangkok, because he thinks that could save his father.

Holy moly, what an unparalleled manifestation of cruelty.

I cannot see much 'sibling rivalry', not least becasue they are not even siblings and they do not look at each other that way.

There is some jealousy from Rome considering how many people favour Jack over him and his father using the usual despicable Asian parent pressure technic of praising Jack over his own son.

But in spite of all that, even if Rome is frequently cocky with Jack and tells him off for his mistakes, he seems to be willing to maintain a better relationship with Jack and he does not seem to mind this new family thing at all, whereas Jack is quite determined to close Rome out of his life. He only involved him into the play because he had no other choice.
So all in all this "cannot stand each other" is not exactly mutual - Rome is more open-minded.

I have no problem with flawed characters. On the contrary, I very much prefer this over Snow Whites and Evil Stepmothers a la Disney, but there are different levels of human flaws and one can still point these out. Rome is much less flawed, a lot more mature and generally better person than Jack, Dean or Raffy, for instance.

He is actually a jerk towards Rome who apparently did nothing wrong to him and he is using Raffy unscrupulously with no regards to his feelings. He well deserves those names. Not that some of the other characters are better than him, but he is certainly a deeply flawed person.

Traumatic my arse. Jack is a grown-ass adult - yes, uni students are adults - who has been living separately for quite a while. His parents apparently divored quite a while ago as well. Reacting to this situation like a 10 years old moppet by ghosting his mother and being a jerk to Rome is just childish and immature, simple as that. Hamlet was a different case and in a completely different historical age and in a very complicated family background, but anyway yes, Hamlet didid not have very high EQ level either.
