Nevertheless: The Shapes of Love Episode 7
0 people found this review helpful
estar Miu is basically every woman that sees something in someone, she is attracted too - or cause she see something it attracts her to them... & she thinks she can fix the person she loves. can help make them whole, can be the one to fix whatever is wrong, lacking, missing from their lives & then they will have a happily ever after. but life & people don't work that way. ****************Miu was attracted to the loneliness in Ren's eyes, thinking that her loving him would fill those eyes only with her & that he would at some point, open up to her & return her love. that hope has kept her stuck on him - no matter how he treats her or how much time passes - hope is a cruel thing. ***************************************************************************************Ren on his part was attracted to Miu cause of her quite strength, in spite of being very vulnerable, she could've broken when her ex demeaned her in public, with words & his work of art that made a mockery of her desperation, wanting to hold onto her love. but she didn't & that attracted him to her, as she reminded him of his mother, but she was stronger. ************************when he finally realized - that in spite of trying his best to keep her at arms length, that she had gotten under his skin & he did love her. his bff became an obstacle that stood in his path - ironically his best friends passing didn't remove that obstacle, his guilt & sorrow took her place - widening the gap between him & Miu. even though i wanted a different out come, Ren's every choice makes my prediction that he will end up a lonely old man, a forgone conclusion - sad really. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************ironically the side couples love is blooming & it was a rocky, figuring out life. but they finally understood what & who is important, at least that/they r a ray of sunshine in this gloomy drama.

the writer of this drama got a sadistic sense of humor, when finally Ren decided he doesn't want to lose Miu & his selfish childhood friend stops acting self-centered (only cause she knew that he was gonna put a stop to their pretense) so she just beat him the the punch. acting all magnanimous - but her basically telling him, what he suffered in these few days/weeks where he wanted to be with Miu but cause his childhood friend was dying & her last request was for them to play-act as bf & gf, he couldn't pursue or be with Miu, was what she had suffered for over 17 yrs - longing to be with him. & then he gets the call that she kicked the bucket, basically not be able to go meet Miu. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************there is a part of me that still thinks that if Miu was this important to him & after Ruki made his intentions clear - he should've found a way to tell Miu why Chiaki was important to him & why at this point in time he had to be at her side. as it doesn't seem like she has any family besides him. & yet i get that it was a personal matter that he had no right to disclose. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************on the other hand even though poor, sweet Ruki got rejected & is probably heartbroken - he at least gave it his all & even if his heart got broken at least he tried & now he can move on with his life & go make his dreams come true by opening his own restaurant.

Ren had so many opportunities in this ep to man-up & face his fears, to talk to Miu. but he rather play hard to get or idk what he is playing at other then being very passive & then trying get close to Miu when she i going the other way. ************************so there is a part of me that is very glad that Ruki stopped being a bystander, dude has been holding a candle for Miu since before her ex (the one that hurt her at the start of this drama) who knows how many yrs he has been watching her from afar, so i am so happy he finally confessed. she needs to know -

ironically i am sure Ren wasn't cheating & the phone call at night was his mother. but sadly he is too scared of opening up & being with Miu in every sense of the word. & as much as he cares for her he won't commit or be 100& truthful about his hang-up's... thus letting Miu & the potential of a real loving relationship slip through his fingers. this sad as cause of his hang-ups he is destined for a life of solitude as along as he never tries. so Chiaki stopping him will do her no good, cause he not gonna change for her either. but she will have to find out the hard way ****************************************************************************glad at least Hikari worked-out her insecurities' enough to give Osakabe a chance.

Miu knew exactly who Ren was from the beginning, but she was attracted to him & ignored every warning sign that popped-up when around him (well at the start she ran) but then she just gave up or in (depending how u look at it), & then instead of holding onto that prior knowledge (of who he is) she started to wish for more & deluded herself into thinking, that just her wanting it - will make it come true. ***************************************************************************************************while Ren on his part wants Miu, he is interested, attracted in her & wants to get to know her - get under her skin, but also keep her at arms length, doesn't want her getting under his skin - so even if he wasn't interested in other women cause of Miu, he needed the distraction. & the added bonus of her knowing they weren't exclusive - ***********************************************a lot of psychological sh*t & gaslighting if u ask me, but Ren is a damaged man - that is still carrying his mother & whatever trauma she caused him still now & as he has never addressed it or tried to work on it in therapy i doubt he will ever be capable of moving on & being with someone significant.

so many people hurting & the one i felt for most was Ruki, poor guys didn't deserve to get his heart crushed like that & Miu has been fighting her attraction hard, but she succumbed to it at the end. **************************************************************at the end of the previous ep, we see that Ren witnessed Miu at her most vulnerable, broken almost by her ex's brutality. in that moment, i think in Ren's eyes she was his mother - that is what 1st attracted him to her. i doubt she's his usual type, am 99% sure he dates like minded women, women that like him r only looking for a good time - with Miu he just couldn't help himself. but as he can't commit, he will sabotage any possibility existing between them.... a fact Miu is aware off, that's why she was running in the other direction every time Ren got too close, as she knows she will get her heart broken again - it's just a matter of when, not if. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Osakabe is another hurting soul & he is really good looking, idk why he feel like he is unworthy - just hope Hikari doesn't hurt him too much

Hamasaki Miu is beautiful, but she got bad taste in men. even Kosaka Ren giving off bad-boy, stay away - warning signs. but i guess when u r spiraling out of control, u will hold onto anyone... i was wondering why she didn't smash that piece, when her ex belittled her one last time.... i would've either smash that piece or his head, but i guess my temperament is different - as Kosaka Ren's looks & behavior would be a turn off & i would avoid him like the plague. *******************************************and given the mini flashback from him childhood, guess the dude's got mommy issues (what's new) so no matter how many women might charm him, he is too afraid that at some point they would "break" like his mother did - so he rather keep is short & sweet, like the life span of a butterfly - beautiful but gone in a blink.

everyone finds Hua Yong antic's = manipulation & gaslighting entertaining - personally, not so much. Sheng is a green flag but this is what destroys "green flags" when they come across people that take advantage of their warm, kind & giving heart. when they find out it was all a lie & pure manipulation. they turn jaded & bitter, not ready to open up or give anyone else a chance ever again. ****************************************************************************************************************************so what is the end goal for Hua Yong?!? he is playing with Sheng emotions & his hormones r even being effected, draining him even sending him into heat. if Hua Yong really loves Sheng, him making a joke of his feelings & playing him like this - how will Sheng feel when he finds out? be grateful? happy??? i personally am getting tired of Hua Yong games. ****************************like i am getting tired of how Guo can't break free of Shen, when he finally signed the resignation letter i rejoiced - but it was short lived...ugh! & this the 1st ep where we saw that Shen does have a soft spot for Guo in his heart - he isn't capable of showing it. but he does - & yet this doesn't make me want Guo to keep fighting sacrificing his well being just to be around Shen - sorry. Gup needs to start taking care of his own self & maybe the distance will make Shen realize how important Guo is to him. but that not gonna happen.... aish

last ep was garbage, I Jun couldn't stand up to Do Gyeong, knowing full-well he was manipulating him. but when he finally found his voice it was to push both his ex & Ha Ram away?!? going a step further & hurting Ha Ram by breaking off their dating arrangement. cause he's a coward that can't stand-up for himself & rather run away from his feelings?? **************************& after the way he treated Ha Ram, Ha Ram still running after him, caring for him, worrying about & supporting him... sorry but this unrealistic! there No one this magnanimous, where someone steps all over ur heart, disregards ur feelings & u still care for them as much as Ha Ram cared for I Jun at the end - yeah not buying it. just cause ur hurting it doesn't excuse u hurting others! so sorry but this was cute up until a point & I Jun for sure not worth all the trouble or of someone like Ha Ram. this was a one off & a never again!

Do Gyeong know exactly how to play I Jun, who on his part (i get that getting ghosted like that) had so many unanswered questions... so he had to meet up with Do Gyeong, even if he knew he was just trying to "kiss & make-up" so he could get the project. *******************************************************************************************************************************but I Jun is more or less dating Ha Ram, he doesn't want to tell him that Do Gyeong is the ex, that broke his heart - i get it. but pushing him away & then getting mad at him is unfair. same with standing there like a mute moron, that can't defended himself & needs a knight in shining armor?!? when he had NO problem slapping & hitting Ha Ram, when he was trying to woo him aggressively at the start. call b.s on how this ep turned out - Ha Ram deserves better!

of course the ex had to make a comeback lol... after all we couldn't get smooth-sailing as there 2 more eps to go... but now that I Jun has someone new that is helping him regain his belief in love. shouldn't be able to face his past?!? shouldn't the embarrassment have turned into anger?!? angry that would enable him to stand with his head high in front of his douche of an ex??? time (or the next ep's) will tell...

didn't find it cute of funny Ha Ram ignoring I Jun for almost a whole day, saying he did it to give him time to think - that's gaslighting & total b.s. i for sure wouldn't think it was funny or cute - after that he could f*ck off - cause i don't play those games. but I Jun aint me... so i hope Ha Ram stops with the game's & get's with the program - especially if he is serious about I Jun & not playin....

things escalated too fast IMO... idk now i am worried Ha Ram is up to something. him trying to leave the morning after, without saying bye to I Jun, someone he supposedly loves was suspect to me. & after I Jun told him why he was weary of getting into a relationship. idk - hope i am wrong. but now that I Jun has decided to trust Ha Ram i hope he doesn't play him...

this was a fun ep - Ha Ram is really really good looking & i love how he doesn't give up, no matter how many walls I Jun tries to put between them. until now I Jun has done just this, he has been mildly friendly, but also made sure everyone knew that there was a line, they couldn't cross. he was surrounded by very thick wall & no one dared to come close, let alone try & look for an opening. but from the sec I Jun met Ha Ram (in the meeting room) he has been battering at those walls... little wonder they didn't take much to start crumbling.... kinda hilarious
