Episode 11 was great! It focused solely on Thorn and Fah and I did not mind that as they are technically the main couple. We need 2 more episodes instead of one to help resolve our other couples though, Dome and Vee need their own whole episode to themselves.
I loved how they showed the complex emotions of this situation. Yes, Fah should have been there for Thorn, but HOW! He had to practice and especially at that level, there are only so many hours in a day. I assume they were all still going to classes at this time. If they were, he would also have to prioritize that as well. He was in an impossible situation. But Thorn's feelings were equally as valid. He was going through a life altering circumstance and he needed the support of his friends and boyfriend and it didn't seem like he was getting it. No one ever asked how he felt, they were just relieved he didn't make a fuss. And he always put others first up until that point. So this time he chose his self. Maybe it wasn't the best decision, but it was such a human decision. And how would he know that training that way, while it might have made a better physical player, mentally he wasn't in the game and no matter how awesome you are, this particular sport relys on your teammates. Side note, what the what was that team picking treatment. After everything Thorn had done for them! Thorn finally breaking down, grieving for all that he had lost, including Fah, his teammates, his coach and his intergrity was really well done. Coach Big should have stepped in before that game, though, and said something about his behavior, as it couldn't have been the first sign he was no longer cohesive with the team. I am so glad Thorn and Fah made up, it showed they both reflected on what went wrong from both sides and Thorn admitting he may screw up again but he will always love Fah is such a human thing too. You mess up with the person you love. Mostly because if you truly love them, you are at your most vulnetable with them. But sometimes we aren't ready to admit we are struggling or failing, so we withdrawn or lash out. Hopefully, like Fah, your partner recognizes why you did that, calls you out on it, but also supports you.
Here is hoping next week is most Dome and Vee, though! 😂😂
This looks like a hot mess. Why do they have to including drugging someone!?!? Also, when will they stop making Sammy look ridiculous and give her (and preferrably Yacht) her own series as a lead. She and Yacht would be amazing in a romantic comedy. Stop making her the butt of the joke, she is too talented and to be honest to pretty for this foolishness. That being said, of course I'll give it a chance, but based on that teaser I do not have high hopes.
I don't REALLY understand what is happening anymore. But I'll keep watching it if only for cute moments like the bathroom scene and the friends describing their series. It still not as bad a Rainbow Prince, and I finished that. I DO wish that Gagaoolala had a skip 10 second button. There are better scenes left unwatched.
I prayed for a happy- ish ending and thank goodness P'Nuchy came through. Not gonna lie, I needed less Gram/Eugene and way more DanYok (everybody got a closing kiss but them! Come on!), but otherwise I loved it. Its not all sunshine as it appears, there has to be consequences coming their way, but its implied enough for me to be satisfied with this ending. Amazing work! So proud of Gun and Off. First and Gawin punched me feels a million times and I hope they get leading roles soon as they proved they are amazing actors. So sad to see it go, but I am counting this as the best BL this year...maybe tied with Bad Buddy as that was amazing in its own, complete different way. I do NOT know what could top it...I am looking at you KinnPorshe. 😆

The story was great up until they kidnapped the bomber boy. I just kept saying are these real cops, cause this is pathetic. You kidnapped him only to leave him 'protected' one guy to chase a girl who you do not need to make your case!? Like it was so obvious she lured them away! Also, why on EARTH did she take that bullet for someone who was not important? To pay for her crimes!? What sense does that make!? Also how did home girl kill her self in prison? Was NO on watching her? She should of had the topmost security on her, if for no other reason, she was a skilled fighter. Sigh... And finally...going to rescue the bomber kiddos in a giant mansion with just the 2 of them. I pray this is not how dangerous criminal/murder cases are handled. Like zero back up. Just the director going, 'Oops! We lost them guys! Just watch and see what happens other team', who I don't think was even there at the scene! Also, maybe its my American side saying this. But they had SOOO many times to shoot the bad guys. What was the purpose of bringing and then pointing a gun if you are not prepared to us it!?
I like the story of the three of them building a family. I disliked the hinting at there might being more between the male leads. This story did not need that. Yes I came for the BL aspect and that would have made the story even better, but it was obvious from the start it was just a bromance. Them being close like a family was enough.
The absolute best parts were the extras! They were worth suffering through the poor police work in a police drama...
I am sure they were hinting at a season 2, but I don't know why. Maybe a mini movie/special episide to get Yamada and Hayashi, but unless they are going to actually make the male leads a couple, I don't see the point of a season 2.
I love every intentionally cringey moment of this show! Toh trying to be sexy is the funniest thing I have ever seen. Them flipping out about the frog (also would be me) and then immediately going into diva mode is hilarious. I hope Jao warms up soon and starts to realize he deserves all the love and attention he is getting.
I love this series. Haebom is too stinking cute for words! Taesung has obviously been in love with him from the beginning. I think he pulled away all those years because he probably thought his love would be considered inappropriate. He was content as long as he could see Haebom in the house, knowing that he was around. But then his mom mentioned that Haebom would probably be leaving next year plus his seeing how he was treated by classmates all these years prompted him to finally get close with him. The more he has allowed himself to be around Haebom the more Taesung falls in love. Episode 4 was especially sweet. And episode 5 look ls like we are going to spend all of it crying.

I liked it. It was sweet but brief. Normally I want more from a Korean Drama, and yes it would have been better with more background for each of the storylines, but was nice. Something to fill in the gaps between Not Me and Cutie Pie
am I the only one here who likes toh as a character? he's absolutely obsessive and oversteps his boundaries but…
THIS!! I agree with everything you said! I love Toh, as cringey as he can be (the trying to take the camera in the bathroom was no bueno) but if people would be honest with themselves, people like Toh absolutely exist. Do I wish he was called out more for it, sure, but I am enjoying Toh for all his cringey cute moments! And Jao's body issue thing was so refreshing and unexpected for this show. But I love that Sky was like, 'you body the way it is is great, but if you want to change, I can help you. I love that show doesn't take itself too seriously. Its a breath of fresh air.
The end was pretty good. Got answers to questions we have been waiting for and they made sense. I wish we had more KohJack, but their ending was cute. This whole episode was cute. I just wish upon a star that Bas learned how to kiss on screen. I have seen him give better kisses to Copter off screen. He looked like he had never kissed anyone a day in his life during the love scene, while Dunn was giving us every thing. Dunn definitely understood the assignment. The little pecks Bas gave at the end more more natural and believable, wish we had had more of those.
I also wish we had more Pok and Tong, less Mark and Kit. Pok and Tong deserved more screen time this season, especially this last episode.
It could have been better but it was certainly not the worst I have seen this year so far.
Re: the whole Peat storyline, I feel like the writers initially intended for the mental illness storyline to be…
I agree so much with this. I was also looking forward to seeing how they would navigate mental illness with a committed relationship but its like the original writer quit in the middle. Also 1000% agree that Jeff Satur deserved so much more than this dumpster fire. I really want him to sign on with Nadao, people who will use all of his talent and boost him to the level he truly deserves to be at.
I don't really want a season three unless they have a COMPLETELY different writer and director (those GIGANTIC pauses before they answer questions people ask was insane!) But I DO want to know why the HECK did Peat do ...well all of that!? Like why did he cheat, why did he disappear, why did he come back, why did he make up a mental illness to cover the cheating!?! Like Just why!? I need a better ending for Kaitoon and Valen, they deserved better. Just a season of seeing them be a couple and Valen navigating coming out. Maybe seeing Valen reconciling with his father (other wise what was the point of showing his dad to begin with!?!) I need to see King with someone else. And Non deserves to come back with the greatest love of his life and rub it in everybodies face. That is all that needs to happen in season 3, if they do it. Otherwise, please don't bother.
The best actor in this entire series so far has been the man who portrayed the reporter in episode 8. He knew his lines and read them convincingly. That is super sad to say. I'll finish this series, because I have come too far...but these last 2 episodes are going to be painful to watch.
While this show hasn't been perfect and it has been frustrating to the max at times, it is a way better drama than the Rainbow Prince, we gotta get the score up, people! This last episode redeemed so many wrongs. Mark Kit finally kissed like they meant it (sort of...I mean there was a tiny bit of tongue, so Yeah!)
