I'm really enjoying this, mostly because it's something different to the usual BL stories and I like Fifa. the only thing I find truly cringe is how Hem is behaving. He's being completely unreasonable and aggressive, I don't care how much of an introvert he is, I'm an introvert and I'd never mistreat my interns like that, screaming that they should leave and no one wants them there. WTF?!
not his place to tell anyone that, and he was probably a f***-up himself when he was an intern, but probably wasn't being treated the way he's treating Fifa. I hope he gets over it soon, cos every episode he makes me want to slap him.
Anyhoo, amazing cinematography and Fifa is wholly believable as a likeable young city-dweller.

not to mention he was an intern once himself, did he have ppl screaming at him to leave town and that no one wants him there? if I treated my interns like that, I'd reasonably be pulled up for bullying

this is so good, I love these types of shows. it's been giving me Cheese in the Trap vibes the whole time. I can't wait until next week!!

haha, I think it's cos we supposed to like him, but I find him passive aggressive. Whenever he comes in he's so negative and at times makes a jab at Heng despite Heng having had to help him previously. The final tbh straw was actually the Chicha situation. He didn't comfort her at all. He invited her out, then when she didn't like him back romantically he blamed her for his disappointment, told her she liked someone else and then left her at an amusement park on her own! bad manners!who hasn't been disappointed in love? put on a polite mask and get over it. There's sooo many polite ways to get out of an awkward date, or whatever that was.anywhoo, that's my rant about the random character newyear 😂 maybe cos I've met guys like that and they're so annoying irl that I saw red flags

haha, yeah, he's creepy-funny

this is so good! love how quirky all the characters are. Weirdly the only one I'm not a fan of is newyear, I find his character kinda lowkey toxic, not sure if it's just me? i don't think it's the actor's fault, I think it's the way it's written. ditto for Ten I guess, but he doesn't annoy me.

this was fun! I really enjoyed the main couple, and i definitely didn't need the 3rd and 4th couples. I actually wouldn't mind one more episode if it only focuses on the main couple being cute, kind of sucked we didn't get more than a few minutes of them back together at the end. I thought the main two were quite charming, one of the few thai-korean collabs that created a believable couple. Was so glad to have had sangmin speak Thai, even if broken.

Much more than the possibility of cheating, the lack of honest communication between the hetero couple about his needs is the most frustrating to me. The way he's wimped out of just having that conversation with her is easily more annoying.
Like you said, nothing they're doing rn is cheating, and actually it's great that they have someone to talk to, but ideally they would also try to communicate with their partners. Really enjoying the slow burn and I can't wait to see how the show will tackle the rest of the story. I don't usually like emotionally messy stories, but I think they're doing a good job here of showing us the main leads perspectives.

I don't think it's just housemates, his response to Sei communicating with someone else via email and saying he didn't need to change to improve himself and ppl at work not having to like him at work seemed a little possessive. Doesn't have to translate to romantic, but it's also not normal housemate behavior.

relationships are not just about sex, you can have a committed monogamous relationship where sex doesn't play a major or any role. it depends on the relationship.Having said that, i don't know that we can say that the MM couple are actually in an exclusive romantic relationship, we haven't gotten enough information yet. I also don't think the guy in the MF couple is cheating (yet) bc nothing he and the other guy are doing is straying there.

the restaurant scene was quite sad actually, to realize he didn't have anyone to talk to about his relationship.

I totally understand keeping it a secret from those guys, cos they just don't seem supportive, I just hope he makes better friends. Esp from the LGBTQ community as they'll be able to relate to his struggles in society. Whether it's Japan or Korea, he is still going to need some support to move his relationship forward, and he just seems so isolated (unlike his partner who is in the film industry). I would actually have loved to have seen a scene of him being out to someone, like, anyone. I'm not sure he is and they'd been together a few years but the end I think.

this was so good, I really like earth in this role, he's actually really funny. I've seen the OG and this was definitely in the same spirit, but with Thai cultural vibes. I'm really looking forward to watching the rest!

it was a great story, thoroughly enjoyed it, up until ep 10 which just felt rushed and weird at the end for me, specifically the final scenes, where there was some unknown passage of time and plot felt like it had jumped ahead awkwardly. Thankfully, ep 11 saved it. I'm unclear on some of the timeline though. At the end of 10 he proposed and I thought the friends must have gotten a hint at their relationship (at the very least) from having seen the movie, but then in 11 the friends are clearly as thick and awful as always, and our main couple are talking as if they won't be getting married, so...???anyways, I'm choosing to ignore the final scenes of ep 10, cos they make no sense to me, and everything else is great. I just hope minase gets better friends from his adult life, cos his HS ones are just NQR for who he is now.

this was actually pretty funny. also loved all the side characters, and the security guard stole the show when on screen 😂

I hope they tell us any of that at some point, cos part of the oddness is that dinneaw doesn't seem to have much memory of sangmin😂
I'd be happy just to know how long he stayed over with the family, mostly cos the mum seems pretty obsessed

But they resolved their issues early on to mid last season, so not sure why the tension would still be here in this seaso? I'm all for developing dynamics between characters, but I don't see them as being more comfortable with each other as you'd expect with resolved issues.
perhaps I need to rewatch the last season again (I've already seen it twice😂) to see if I'm forgetting something that happened towards the end.
ok, the changes in writers and director(!) makes total sense with this new vibe! it feels a lot less sciencey and more woowoo to me this season 😂
oooh the new investors also explains the PPL it was obvious this season, I didn't remember it being present last season.
thanks for that!

definitely preferred season 1. The cases were more tightly written and I liked the leads' dynamics more. The dynamic between the two leads this season just doesn't feel the same, du Cheng is barely in it, but from the first scenes he's been acting angry or pissy with Shen Yi more this season, which is weird when there's no explanation for the tension. Some of the cases also feel like they were draggy, with more sentimental scenes than in season 1 cases, which I personally don't prefer.
also, Shen Yi isn't doing as many sketches this season and is getting so into psychology and predicting ppl's crimes. seems weird for a sketch artist in the pd, and the explanation for it seemed flimsy.
I still enjoy the show and will likely finish it, but it feels like different writers?

💯

I miss them too! One of the very few pairings I can never get enough of.
