estar this ep felt so short - it didn't start it was over. oh well happy at least the guys have started their relationship, but i wish Jun Xi wasn't this naïve. as to me sometimes it comes off like he is the sheep, while Han Tuo is the wolf in sheep's clothing & is gonna gobble-up Jun Xi up & leave him hurting... idk why i got this bad feelings, as i can see that Han Tuo is infatuated with Jun Xi since forever & those feelings have just got stronger, the older they've gotten - but still have this feeling Jun Xi in for a lot of heartache. hope i am wrong **********************************************************************************************************really loved You Mei she is quirky, sweet & funny - somehow she is the female version of Han Tuo, Jun Xi for sure attracts a certain type lol

the main couple or rather Hua Yong is such a problematic character, not everything is justified in love - not when he keeps manipulating Sheng all the time. playing with his head & heart, cause of him Sheng keeps attacking Shen. not to mention his over powering hormones r making Sheng's hormones go haywire - which is now endangering his health. ************************i keep asking this question, but what is Hua Yong's end-game?!? to end up with Sheng - then lying to him, acting the victim of horrendous sexual assault & abuse, playing the fragile damsel in distress that needs Sheng's constant support & help, only for Sheng to realized he was being played all along?!?? that none of it was true ever!! *************************************************anyone out there, that would be happy to be duped this way?? they would then welcome someone that gaslit them with open arms & happily get into a relationship with them - really??? guess only me, the odd one out saying NO f*cking way. **************also Hua Yong's secretary purposely got Sheng drunk - why? just so Hua Yong could use his pheromones on him??? & sorry not buying jealously, as a reason. the only reason Sheng took that gorgeous woman, was cause Hua Yong's busy playing the fragile victim that's scared of his own shadow - who would take someone that went through what Hua Yong supposedly went through to a public event, where stranger would be around him & might trigger him. ******************************************************* the fact that Sheng is this considerate & loving makes Hua Yong's lies that much more devastating IMO - unforgivably so. **********************************************************************************************************************************************Shen, i guess does care for Guo in his own way, i just am wondering what he gonna do when he finds out he is an omega. the reason he got close to Guo was cause he was a beta & thus safe. as read comments mentioning he had some childhood trauma cause of omegas. so was worried when Guo feel sick there was no pheromone release that would finally clue Shen in on Guo's real statue. cause i am worried it's gonna happen after they sleep together & then Shen finding out will just blow-up in Guo's face. Shen isn't the understanding kind. i am just worried about Guo.

everyone is elated at the 2nd couple getting certified - to me it's neither here nor there. am happy for Guo but other then that i wont say i was that into watching them "get it on".... i like the character's well enough when they connected to the main couple but their own plots don't really hook me in - know am the odd one out - but it is what it is. ****************************************now Wu Suo Wei on the other hand can be the main & only focus & i'm all in - love the dude & he makes me smile by just being on screen. so the whole kidnapping that could've turned was lighthearted fun - where a father-in-law was getting to know his new son-in-law to be.. considering Chi Cheng & his personality it's very fitting that the father is as whack as the son. ***********but find it kinda hilarious that the only way the father has to get his sons attention is to kidnap sh*t that is important to him.

i wanted Wu Suo Wei to know about his mother, he needed to know & yet seeing him crying broke my heart - poor baby. am happy that at least Xiao Shuai was there for him. seeing him crying all alone with no one to lean on, is heartbreaking so the fact that there r people that care & r showing him he aint alone, warms the heart. *****************************************************loved that even Wang Zhen didn't think twice & came to offer his help, he even made sure to tell Wu Suo Wei that he is taking his brother back abroad, giving him the heads-up that Chi Cheng didn't get back together with Wang Shuo. but idk why i found him bringing little Cubao (Wu Suo Wei worked really hard on that huge terrarium, that wasn't just cause he loved Chi Cheng. but cause he had come to love the little reptile) really moved me. maybe cause it shows how much Wang Zhen genuinely cares for Wu Suo Wei. ironic that his brother thinks he doesn't have a heart - ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************that elevator scene took me out - especially when i thought that Chi Cheng was the one that put his hand to stop the elevator doors from closing, but nope it was the moron that works for them OMG i wanted to punch him. he prolonged their suffering. not a fun scene. & then from that emotionally heavy scene, we get Chi Cheng being a big needy baby, pestering Guo & frightening Xiao Shuai just for the fun off it. but Chi Cheng is a menace - dude hell bent on destroying romantic moments between Guo & Xiao Shuai. think by the end Guo might strangle Chi Cheng like the yellow python was strangling Wu Suo Wei. at least there was some levity in this ep - given the break-up & Wu Suo Wei's mom condition we needed it. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************& from a happy, funny scene to a devesting one, the mother more or less saying good bye to both Chi Cheng & her son. it's heart breaking (phenomenal acting on the actresses part) but the writing & the directing is also topnotch. still Wu Suo Wei being all alone in that moment, finding her is.... idk can't find the words to describe how painful, scary & lonely he must feel. watching that scene with the things she left to dry in the sun... people die & life goes on, makes the soul weep

Wang Shuo has serious victim mentality! root of every chaos & yet acts like the victim. dude lives for chaos, u pity him cause anyone can see that he isn't "alright" (in the head) But showing him compassion will only make your life a living hell. Always complaining, blaming others - dude is a headache & his brother knows him well, that's why he either ignores or treats him harshly. cause kindness doesn't work on him, to him it's a weakness to target & exploit. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw the whole issue of Chi Cheng throwing Wu Suo Wei out of the house wasn't dealt with, if anything it was ignore like it was nothing, the next sec he came saw YueYue - Wu Suo Wei mentioned Guo & they ended up in bed, where it was so sweet everyone (the viewer's) also didn't wonder WTH. but at the start, why was Chi Cheng again with his back to Wu Suo Wei giving him the cold shoulder(?) when a sec before (in the ending of the previous ep) they were cuddling & had a warmhearted moment?!? what i miss.... then to add insult to injury f*ckin Wang Shuo had to use the fact that Chi Cheng couldn't say that he didn't love him, like salt on Wu Suo Wei's bleedin heart - ugh! **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************mentioning YueYue - dude doesn't know when to give up & she has no shame or tact... like WTF, cause Wu Suo Wei wont give u the time of day, u gonna go pester his sick mother?!? the same women u thought was beneath u, cause then Wu Suo Wei was poor. in-spite of Wu Suo Wei's mother literally fading away, she caught on to YueYue's act & treated her very coldly. maybe now she will get the message & just stop - it's getting embarrassing. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************& from one disaster to the next - hell of a way to celebrate a birthday - Chi Cheng's annoyed cause Wu Suo Wei is constantly around Wang Zhen & seeing the texts made him lose it (even though nothing flirty was even written there) but i guess he was just looking for a reason to beat Wang Zhen. ironically Wang Zhen had just splashed his brother, making it seem like Chi Cheng was angry about that. allowing Wang Shuo to use the misunderstanding to deepen the rift between Wu Suo Wei & Chi Cheng - what a mess. & yet what does a broken hearted Wu Suo Wei do, he goes to get evidence for the man he loves. aish **************but must admit, to me the whole break up was fitting - it was the logical out come of all the crossed weirs & lack of communication, let alone the lies. if Wu Suo Wei had taken Chi Cheng up on his offer when he told him just to nod his head & he would forgive everything... they wouldn't learn from their past mistakes & would repeat them in the future, never really having a healthy long-lasting, strong, lie less relationship. so this pain was needed for them to grow stronger & start with a clean slate... IMO

cute ending & all but have to say i was kinda bored after the whole Thiwthit issue was dealt with - which btw the dude was really infatuated with TD & given they not blood brothers i guess whatever... & yet the fact they grew-up together makes me feel icky... but sadly the dude crazy, so who knows what was really going on in his head. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this was ok, wont say i was blown away by the writing (it was bad) like that speech at the end - Armin HAD to add that crap, previous life sh*t, for what?!? & he said he learnt from his previous life & made better choices i beg to differ... if anything Armin showed us that no matter how may chances u get u will always end up making the same mistakes. he just lucked out that TD was there to hand hold him (quite literally) on his 2nd go - that's why he survived. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************what did piss me off was that Lilly got away with murder or rather her side pimping business can thrive. i guess this to show us that this is what it is & nothing will ever change - sad really. Armin or TD could've used their fame & power to do something for the other wanna-be actors, that r being exploited like this, but they got their happily ever after & that's that - guess everyone cares only for their own asses in the end - this the moral of this story.

where to start.. that ending was made ridiculous with Thiwthit showing up with his henchmen all color coordinated. i get that that is how they infiltrated TD's bodyguard group (am guessing) but still, that was kinda slapstick stupid. & yet somehow fitting, of someone like Thiwthit - who is a really cuckoo... the fact he is on the run, but not slumming it & has money to fund his revenge, another plot hole but it is what it is. ****************************************************************************************& am happy that in this ep Armin was just having a nightmare - cause (yeah he got shot in the arm in his dream) but still dude is running out of lives lol... at least this not boring - ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************still annoying me that Lilly is going about her f*cked up business & she will get way with it.... pisses me off - ********************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************love both of Armin & TD's sidekicks - but idk how i feel about a 24 yr old getting set up with a 33 yr old - no matter how cute the 33yrs old is - **********************************************************************************************************************also i love Ponds visuals, dude is a work of art & not just talking about his face, BUT i can't watch him kiss & seen him in Fourever You, don't remember getting turned off by his kissing his co-star there, so idk why here it's such a turn off - just know for me, it's a pass.

didn't expect Thiwthit to go after Armin, idk why but i thought he would try to get rid of his bother (well maybe cause of what his mother said in the previous ep) but i guess taking away what he loves is as bad if not worse - having to live through that pain. still the fact that the "bad-guys" r getting caught so fast makes me wonder what else is gonna go wrong cause there no way it's gonna be smooth sailing until the end as there 2 more eps to go.

i am so confused about the "brother's" relationship - there commenters saying Thiwthit "wants" TD & there was a scene were it was a bit creepy (the way he was acting with TD), but maybe he's just a brocon - those relationship r always borderline weird. & then TD rejecting him made him "break" but i am 99% sure when he said '...if i can't have it, u can't too...' (or something along those lines) he meant Crown not TD. either way he really is a problem TD needs to address ASAP - idk why he is being so passive about him, from the start he is just saying '...i will wait & see, what he does...' like WHY?!? *********************************if there is a part of him that sees him as a younger sibling & cause of that, he doesn't want to hurt him, then he should've thought of a better way to make his point & make it clear about how his step-mother tried to get rid of him & rob him of his inheritance. maybe then Thiwthit would understand, that TD isn't rejecting him but distancing himself from his mother. maybe even he would side with TD - idk. but as things r TD really needs to deal with Thiwthit before he does something, that can't be fixed.

this was a very romantic, saccharinely sweet ep & given how lovey dovey the mains were of course a sec from the end, there needed to be some drama. didn't get why Armin's meeting a photographer was such news, but i guess we will find out in the next ep. *******************************************************************************************************************************but at least i got an answer why Armin is so special to TD & why there is such animosity between him & his step-mother & half-sibling. given what they tried to do to him when he was just a teen i don't get them playing like the victims. but i guess bad-guys wouldn't be bad-guys if they acted good.

every time Armin turns into a freakin clairvoyant, i just zone out - cause he is acting like a mad man & anyone else in TD's place would be looking at him weird, let alone distancing themselves from the nuts case. but that aint how it's written, so we get TD still sitting close, making cow-eyes at him, oh well - personally i can't stomach it & just fast forward scenes where he keeps going on & on about what's gonna be... so tedious, i wish he would get a clue & stop. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************well TD at least bought-out Armin's contract & he doesn't have to suffer Thiwthit the dimwit or Lilly the pimp. but i feel so so bad for the the poor struggling actor's under her, she is basically selling them - while promising them that it will bring them jobs & fame. sadly there's a bigger chance of them getting used & abused, never achieving their goals - then fulfilling their dreams. this a sad reality in this industry, no matter the country. freakin depressing - ******************************************************so found it ironic that by the end that Armin realized, what he wasn't ready to do under Lilly's "management" he was getting groomed (yes groomed, cause TD lied saying Narin made the offer, when we know the person with power holds the cards & was the one to make the offer) to do with TD. & given Narin, no one can blame him for jumping to the correct conclusion. ******cause yeah TD is very attracted to Armin, but idk i always have this feeling that he feels guilty towards Armin & he is helping him cause he feels like he owes him - for what or why idk (yet to find out). but i think that is why he doesn't "jump him" & keeps holding back, especially when Armin's full of gratitude, TD physically backs away. time will tell if i am right. but i am glad Armin found out - he needs to know that TD aint a saint, even if he is his savior. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************now wondering if the poisoned champagne was a gift from Narin, even though if Armin died when he was 40 & this 25 yrs before - i doubt TD would've kept Narin hanging for so long & not swapped him out with a new, fresh YOUNGER boytoy. so idk -

idk why Armin is shocked he is going down the same path, when he is choosing the same things. the fact he decided to not break the contract with Venues, means what when his manager is a mega-b*tch that is opening telling him, that she has NO intentions of helping him - thus he will never gets jobs & will never become an actor, let alone famous with a leading role. & cause of the yr of getting blacklisted, he chose to stay. ******************************************************************************why not spend this time, asking for advise, consulting a lawyer, making a plan - getting dirt on the manager or the company to use it to blackmail them or her, to let him go or let him work. something, anything then being passive & apologizing. then giving up & drinking into a stupor... but we talking Armin after all, genius he is not - great looks but that's about it. know i am being mean but come on u have so much knowledge about the future instead of using that to help u get a better life u basically just going with the flow & choosing the same path. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************still waiting to see why TD is fascinated with Armin, it can' be just cause he's good looking cause am sure given TD's position he has his pick. & he already has a celebrity that is his sugar baby (well maybe he not in "service" since TD running after Armin 24/7 idk) but it can't be just the looks. so waiting. & as he is very attracted to Armin why didn't he kiss him in the room the 1st time? why act like he passed-out?!? didn't get it - just to tease the audience?

1st off, is Armin a cat?!? how many lives he got, cause the reckless way he's acting, am sure he has used up almost 3 in this ep alone, aish... have a feeling i am gonna have a really hard time not getting angry, at the lack of common sense that Armin displays. ******************************************************************************************************************************the plot is more or less like 'Marry My Husband', where u were murdered & get a 2nd chance at (maybe) living a better life - with a better outcome. i get that waking up 'back in time' can be a discombobulating experience. but the sec u realize what's going on, the 1st thing u start to do is make a mental list of things to do & things to avoid - that's basic. here Armin took the whole ep to flounder around & still he seems lost at the end. ***********************************************************************he has lived this life once & knows almost all of the people he is encountering, why not start by getting rid of the people that r bad & will make his life worse? what's he waiting for??? *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************i was putting off watching this cause i knew i would have a tough time watching the 1st ep lol. but now that i am over that hurdle, i don't feel calm - now (given Armin's behavior) i am more worried - this his 2nd life & he should be more mature / experience / jaded / calculating / smart - but he isn't, he's like an innocent naïve babe that just ascended back into his life, looking at the world in wonder.... & it is making my skin itch. ************************************************************************but as i am interested & will try (bite my tongue) so i can watch this (fingers crossed) until the very end. i will ignore Armin's "flaws". ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************TD ironically is the typical rich dude that loves to "sponsor" young & upcoming talent, sadly this industry got a sh*t ton of both. but cause TD young & good looking this a romance we want... i guess - so AGAIN ignoring this fact. why is Armin special? it's not like TD hasn't "sponsored" other young talent, but there was always a give & take - nothing comes for free... so why is Armin the odd one out in TD's eyes?? guess we will find out - also did he also regress?? & who poisoned Armin??? (the 1st time around). **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the only plus, i like that both mains r more or less the same high & build - kinda tired of the height & size difference, where one looks like an adult & the other like his 11 yr old brother...

Nevertheless: The Shapes of Love Episode 8

idk why but i was sure this would have a sad ending for the main couple or rather, that Ren would end up lone while Miu would've moved on. & even though i should rejoice i feel apathetic... it was very realistic (i guess), as most of the character's weren't fanciful or magical like fairytale character's come to life - they were flawed, broken & hurting... in spite it all they found the strength within themselves to face their fears & go after their hearts desire. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************somehow the main couple were the most flawed or Ren was & the fact he kept throwing himself a pity party while acting very selfishly was infuriating - like the start of this last ep - where he was basically acting like all the women in his life took advantage & used him, like he was a passive doll - an inanimate object they picked up along the way & once they got done playing, discarded him & moved on. women aren't stupid, when feelings r involved they might act stupid, but on a whole most of the women that got involved with him, even if at the start they thought there was a chance he would warm & open up, allowing them into his life & heart, they soon came to the conclusion that he had nothing to offer... wasn't interested in offering anything but his body. so they took what was offered & when they wanted more, they moved on. but they the "bad-guy" & he the poor used victim?!???? bish plz ***************************************************************************************************even until the end (before the exchange of art books) even though he knew he loved & wanted to be with Miu, what did he do? did he seek her out? he did everything but seek her out. when he finally went to her, cause she didn't welcome him with open arms, he told her he just came to help & was leaving ASAP. so how can i rejoice for a character like this? *************************Miu's the typical woman in love, even when the person she loves is a lost cause, as long as she loves him it is enough no matter the heartache she knows she will sufferer, that is a sacrifice she will happily suffer for her love. this more depressing then encouraging & uplifting, but the end - ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this was well acted & wasn't boring, but idk if i will rewatch...

WeiWei's mother is really making me angry - she is being very selfish, she really deluding herself into thinking her son will only grieve his only living family member, for a few days?!??? who has he got besides her? so how could he just get over her passing, especially when he didn't have a chance to be by her side & Chi Cheng is a stranger to her, the fact he keeps visiting & gives her gifts, doesn't mean she can or should lean on him so much. to her he is just her sons good friend - isn't she asking too much of him? taking advantage of him in every way, considering he is also covering her bills??? ..... not to mention, cause of her insistence of keeping her condition a secret the misunderstanding is getting bigger ugh **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************though lack of communication, lack of sleep & lies r the outcome where Chi Cheng kicks WeiWei out... but hey the silver lining on this cloud is that he will finally go visit his mother & maybe just maybe realize how sick she is... & if nothing else be with her & do his duty as her son - a burden Chi Cheng was carrying all on his own - one can hope. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw Chi Cheng got "respect" for Wang Shuo?!? this a translation issue or what - cause i don't get how the word respect applies to someone like Wang Shuo, who cheated & is now trying to break up the relationship he has finally got?!? **********************wanted to slap Chi Cheng upside the head, WHY the frack couldn't he say the words that would make it clear to Wang Shuo that he didn't stand a chance?!? cause his not being able to utter the words, negates all the grandstanding that came before. like duh!!! he can say he hates Wang Shuo, that he doesn't still have a place in Chi Cheng's heart, that he hates him... but when it counted he turned mute & threw him out. leaving a sliver of hope for Wang Shuo to hold onto - for him to keep trying to break WeiWei & Chi Cheng up, to keep trying to win Chi Cheng back - like u need to be a genius to get this?!??? & Chi Cheng had the audacity to throw WeiWei out over nothing & then hope he would come crawling back??? i am pissed at Chi Cheng ********************************************************************************************************************************************the ending.. the communication, the love & that kiss does good to the soul... but i am still pissed at Chi Cheng, as he left an opening for his crazy ex & he's gonna come back to bite them (Chi Cheng & WeiWei) on the backside sooner rather then later... aish
