had to stop 9 mins in - Nueng keeps telling everyone he's an adult that can deal with anything , let alone he doesn't need help & yet he's acting like a new-born, trusting anyone who seems remotely friendly - why? why be so trusting & confide in them? why be open & answer any question they ask? how long has he known either Ben or Phum - let alone what have they done to show him they trust worthy??? *************************************************************************************************************after seeing his father gunned down, he still keeps running away without protection, as if his life isn't in danger - after getting bullied in school wouldn't one be more suspicious of everyone?!?? this not a logical, commonsensical reaction?? frustrating character. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw Ben went from suspicious in the previous ep to creepy, "...u don't need him, as u got me as a friend..." WHAT?!?? huh who says that - can a person have only one friend? why so territorial?? freakin crazy mentality IMHO. let alone that dude can't guard his own body, what he gonna do against a bullet? play classical music?!? WTF is going on with this 🤪 dude ***************Palm also a moron for standing there listening to him spew nonsense, he should've told Ben to go talk to his employer - i.e. Nueng's - end off that whole redundant speech - but this BL great at drawing out scene pointlessly. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************like with Phum, the big reveal was turned into a bad joke - i aint a fighter but even one bad word about my parents OMG & if one spoke about a dead parent i would've bashed their head in, before they finished the sentence. here both Nueng & his "bodyguard" got their asses handed to them & then to add insult to injury Nueng standing around not informing his mother or Chanon, waiting for Ben to update him - why??? Palm did his job (badly) but that is what he was hired for - moronic plot

everyone is suspect. know everyone suspecting Chanon (so was i in the previous ep) BUT would he bring his son into a situation that could put him in harms way?!? i doubt it - not saying, i trust him - but giving him the benefit of the doubt. *************************************************************************************************************************************************same with the rest of the character's - Nuengdiao indeed is too trusting & naïve. maybe he has always been so lonely, anyone being kind - he is ready to give a chance - like with Ben (another one i don't trust) & can't read he just wants to be Nueng's friend or more?!? ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Chopper, in-spite of being born to a father like Kit, is much more clearer to read. he isn't interested in Nueng or his inheritance. heck he not even concerned about him as family (which given we talking Asians, is totally weird). he does care about Ben, as a bf that he has grown apart from? as a love interest - yet to be seen. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Phum on the other hand - the sec i saw him (in the previous ep) knew he was the main bully after Nueng - he got "user" written all over him. hope the plot becomes clearer

where to start (⊙x⊙;) good looking cast. the plot meeh - same with the acting & the drawing out of scenes with nothing but tedious.... *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************plot holes; for a prestigious family the Kiattrakulmethee's only got one bodyguard(?) that is conveniently busy when a gun man comes to kill them? Chanon for sure comes back at the right time (to keep the relevant character's alive) without the car he was supposed to fetch. oh & not one person among the affluent, got a phone to use? everyone just standing around watching Phiphop kick the bucket ＼（〇_ｏ）／ OK ( ˘︹˘ ) **********************************************************************************then we got the school scene, for a prestigious families kid Nuengdiao is a submissive pushover, letting random morons bully him in school? & he angry his mother is worried enough to plant a bodyguard close to him - really??? OK ผ(•̀_•́ผ) ********************************************************************************************************************************************************the only one that impressed me was Thanya, Nuengdiao's mother - what a turn around, she slayed in that red cape dress, she more fitting for MC IMHO. so seeing her taking control was a boss move & much more impressive then if her introvert, shy pushover of a son would've tried asserting dominance - that would be ridiculous (again dude can't handle the morons in his school) & that scene with his Uncle was hilarious, that awkward hug was so freakin funny. other then this really this was more miss then hit for me. hope this gets better (ノへ￣、)

am happy that Ren & Kazuma ended up together. that they r not just communicating, but expressing their feelings/love verbally - something that conveys their relationship will grown n go from strength to strength - so that is a very positive ending. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************& yet this ep left me wanting - didn't like the whole scene with Sanada or even after (the running after Ren), it was over acted, came off amateurish. even the whole scene with the president was b.s. considering what Ren revealed about Sanada, let alone informing he had an additional 12 victims, the president's go to was "...lets cover this up..." like r u freakin serious?!? the cherry on top of that scene what Ren bowing his head in thanks - just me thinking of cursing& trying to assault that old f*cker, that enabled Sanada for over a decade?!????? that conclusion supposed to make me happy?!??? plz（︶^︶）*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************if this wasn't enough we get that weird scene with Kazuma's mother - yeah right she wasn't angry cause they were gay, but cause they didn't think - was that why she tried to keep them apart not only a decade ago, but also now when she recently met Ren??? was that it???( ˘︹˘ ) plz(╬▔皿▔)╯ but as this the last ep, everything needs to be wrapped up (even if it's half assed & unrealistic) so we get the "happily ever after" oh well - what's new＼（〇_ｏ）／ always the odd one out - this was great until ep 7 - pity, cause this had potential (ノへ￣、)

sorry but WTF was that ending ＼（〇_ｏ）／ that was crap/garbage writing!!! has Ren suddenly turned stupid?!? there is a time to follow societies norms/rule & a time to be on ur guard - be freakin weary especially of a rat like Sanada. here he isn't suspicious the dude shows up when there not another soul in the company & he's drunk too??? then Ren just stands there getting his ass handed to him. waiting to get r*aped, like WHAT!!! - What The Actually F*ck (っ °Д °;)っ make this scene make sense plz🤦♀️ like what was the writer thinking??!?????? all this so Kazuma can be the knight in shining armor - really?!?? this was an idiotic cliché if there ever was one, OMO i am pissed (＃°Д°) at the turn this plot has taken (╬▔皿▔)╯(for the worse)(ﾟДﾟ*)ﾉ *****************************************************************************************************************************************& Ryunosuke maybe a good friend to Ren, but he not justified in targeting Kazuma, any more then Kazuma's mother was justified in taking out her anger at Ren. they were teens when what happened happened, neither was innocent nor guilty - they were just teens being teens, Kazuma falling sick was neither's fault, just bad luck. *************************************************even as grown-ups they were so scared of communicating (for fear they would hear/say something & lose the other) they didn't ever come close to having a serious conversation about the past, let alone the present or the future. if u blame one, u have to blame the other. but as both of them were the only ones paying for their insecurities, which outsider has the right to get angry at one or the other - ugh this was a frustrating ep

ugh!!!! seriously (っ °Д °;)っ what a mess & why the frack i have to see that rat with another victim - he can't find even 1 person willing to sleep with him, he gotta drug everyone??? talk about a rotten cherry that wasn't need, after this emotionally turbulent ep (ノへ￣、) (btw was the person a male, this time around?!? wont be shocked as what he is doing, is trying to assert dominance on the weak - gender doesn't matter) d*ckless wonder that he is (╬▔皿▔)╯**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also idk if this the Japanese culture, or Ren's overwhelming guilty conscience, but u wouldn't catch me dead sitting cordially/humbly sitting in a café trying to have a civil conversation with someone that was so hostile towards me. again guess it was Ren's conscience - but he didn't kill Kazuma, he for sure didn't r*ape him. not to mention he has been paying since the sec the whole thing was brought to light, can't he find it in himself to forgive himself? frustrating to watch him sitting there meekly, letting Kazuma's mother treat him like so much dirt. i get why she is hostile, but as the adult (let alone a decade passing) shouldn't she show some maturity?!? & considering she didn't rush to contact her son, she knows she is in the wrong about Ren & her son's relationship. but looks like as long as she can take out her frustrations in life on Ren - convenient fall guy (►__◄) logic doesn't factor - nothing really matters *****************************************************************************************ironically the one she is hurting is her son - who is again left abandoned without an explanation -

of course wasn't wrong about rat-boy Sanada. (but didn't get Ren's question to Ayumi's confession) like sorry, but why should she leave? how does this solves the problem?!?? let alone leaving any job & letting Sanada be, isn't a solution (cause as we saw in this ep) he has countless victims, cause he isn't being stopped by anyone. even firing him wont be enough IMHO - dude should be castrated or jailed (¬‿¬) now either solution works for me. but gathering evidence, is a start `(*>﹏<*)′*******************************************************************************************************************************************************Ren has suffered so much & the fact he is still running scared is heartbreaking. he is worried that the sec he confess to Kazuma, he gonna get rejected & he's gonna lose him all over again. so he rather play act at being FWB＼（〇_ｏ）／ then come clean. so get it & yet, it's frustrating to watch... cause every action by both Kazuma & Ren is a declaration of their love＞﹏＜for the other **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************have a feeling the reason Kazuma's mother recognized Ren, was cause of the shirt she made for Kazuma (the one Ren was wearing) add a mothers intuition, put two & two together & of course she gonna recognize the teen that almost killed her son. not to mention Kazuma for sure resented her taking him back to the US, away from Ren (even if she didn't come out & say they were immigrating cause of what happened between him & Ren) just the fact she decided without consulting him or giving him a chance to contact Ren before leaving, would've made him resent her - and her biggest fear was her son being around someone who almost killed him, let alone forced him sexually (ノへ￣、)

OMO poor baby Ren, he so didn't deserve to get outed in that fashion, not only did he feel bad putting Kazuma in that position. then Kazuma has to get sick almost losing his life and then in front of a whole room, he gotta confess what happened. **********personally don't get why that would help Kazuma or the doctor, when he knows what is wrong with Kazuma & has a freakin degree in doctoring - but ok. & cause Ren already felt guilty (that he more or less forced Kazuma into doing it - automatically took all the blame, making it seem like he forced himself on Kazuma) n even though i kinda get Kazuma's mothers reaction (which was out of anger & worry) my heart still breaks for baby Ren, who didn't deserve anyone piling on - **********************the "cherry" on top, getting actively kicked out of him family. guess can be thankful he wasn't tossed out into the street, just sent abroad (►__◄) this was one hell of an emotionally charged roller costar ride - little wonder Ren is still running scared ********************************************************************************************************************************************& if all this wasn't enough, it looks like Sanada the rat is date-r*ping his subordinates among other things ＼（〇_ｏ）／ just thankful i don't have to wait for ep's to get subbed & uploaded

not even 5 mins in & had to stop; do Japanese love hotels just let anyone use their rooms?!? we talking teens here - bleedin hell - how this legal?!? am thankful it aint a teen with an adult (that would be worse). but still, they babies ugh `(*>﹏<*)′ (also seeing 2, 14yrs old's getting half naked has me uneasy, thankful that scene wasn't exploitative & didn't last long ).***************************************************************************************************************************************************************finished & am back, thankfully that was Ren's 1st time & his attitude was a front. also after doing the deed & seeing Kazuma break-down. Ren wrongly assumed Kazuma felt bad about what they did (let alone him then suddenly disappearing, reaffirming Ren's mistaken conclusion). while Kazuma was crying cause he was moved by the connection he felt, sleeping with Ren. bittersweet moment if there ever was one in a BL. *****************************************************************************this also explain why Ren is actively avoiding any type of serious discussion about what they did the night before, let alone 10 yrs ago. he still thinks Kazuma is straight & being a good friend (like seriously?!? weird assumption - but it is what it is) so we get the FWB b.s. where Ren is doing everything to keep Kazuma at arms length, while keeping him close - quite a mind f*ck when u see the yearning in his eyes heartbreaking IMHO

watching this ep, got a ton of questions - but the main one - teen Ren how jaded was he?!? was that dude (pedo) his first?!? cause, it didn't come off that way... get being curious, let alone when ur online u have tons of opportunities not only to slake ur intellectually sexual curiosity, but also the physical accept & (sadly) there a ton of predator's online - that will be standing in-line to "educate" innocent, unsuspecting curious teens - that's a sad reality we like in, no matter the country. not to mention when a society is intolerant even discriminatory towards anyone who is sexually or romantically attracted to people of their own sex, it's easier to fall prey to abusive, relationship `(*>﹏<*)′ so what did teen Ren go through?!???? ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************also were Ren & Kazuma sexual in any way (as teens)? if so the description is misleading - cause there no way the "slept" together & still one or both didn't wonder/guess/realize the other was gay. idk i need more info **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw Hide's reaction was one of guilt - did he also sleep with Ren? or was it something else - so many questions....

before anything, have to point out Kang & his friends might come from money, but that isn't why they r bullies - it's cause of how the teachers r enabling them in that school. they let them run wild & enable them when they get caught, blaming the innocent (not "connected") student's - little wonder they acting (turning out) as they do. ***************************************** thankfully they got good in them, also good people around them that will stop & scold them when needed (like Kang's grandmother & Pimfah - a good friend indeed). *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also love Sailom & Saifah kinship, in-spite of the though life they r living, they r really happy together. that's a warm, loving household - in contrast (even though) Kang (doesn't have a care in the world) lives lavishly, his house comes off cold (even though he got a caring grandmother & ironically his father also loves him) one of life's ironies i guess. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw WTF is wrong with those loan-shark dudes, they Always show up a day early?!? what's the point of making an appointment ＼（〇_ｏ）／ but showing up whenever`(*>﹏<*)′ yeah know, i am the moron expecting logic when dealing with thugs, but still (*^_^*) the fact one of them was drunk didn't help matters

am glad to see Perth (know he was also in Double Savage, but have yet to watch that. so since Love by Chance haven't seen him in anything). him playing a bad-boy is another plus (not cause i love bad-boys (⊙◡⊙;)) but just seeing a different character portrayal is dope. ******************************************************************************************************************** btw as much as Kanghan & his friend group r a bunch of morons - the bad-guy is Auto - like sorry, but dude Not a genius, nor is he poor. but just for extra money he gets involved with Kanghan & (we supposed to be) shocked at the outcome?!? it was a given that he would mess-up & he was suffering the consequence's of his (stupidity) actions. ************************************* & not saying anyone has the right to bully or humiliate - that never justified! but given how Kanghan & his cronies walked around like they owned the place, its a logical assumption that this is how things would play out`(*>﹏<*)′ ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************joyed this 1st ep & thankful the bullying was tolerable, also if Sailom was a weak fragile flower this would be insufferable to watch (especially given this an enemies to lovers trope), so love that even if he is pushed back a step or two, he will come back fighting & not just take sh*t lying down. kinda tired of seeing one being the manly man Neanderthal pushing his counterpart around & the 2nd half acting worse then a damsel in distress - tedious over used cliché, that i am glad the BL's r doing away with.

sometimes in dramaland u just have to shut-off ur brain n enjoy. but i can't 😩 can an autistic person change so much from childhood to adulthood?!? have no first hand experience with autistic people, and yet Go Se Won's "transformation" seems like a reach too me. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also how much time passed from when Go Se Won succeeded with the experiment with the (poor) mice, to have human size head-gear thingies, ready to experiment on himself?!? and him going to experiment on himself alone, after almost dying the 1st time around. doesn't seem smart in the least, this not logical or calculated, he supposed to be a genius. like WTF?!? not to mention after the severe side effects after the 2nd time, he then goes on to do the same with his comatose wife - like (ノへ￣、) **********************************************************************************************************************************btw didn't she need to be dead(?), that's the main reason the 37th experiment finally succeeded, no?!???? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯also if the brain is damaged, how can u get any logical info out of it?!? let alone a clear vision of sec's before the death?? let alone just wearing head-gear with electrodes can convey info into ur brain?? much of this (medical side) plot, is a reach IMHO****************************************************************************************************************************************there r some solid actors in this and cause of that, i was sure it would be phenomenal, maybe this assumption is what leave me indifferent. ***************************************************************************************************************************the ep started off pretty good, great acting even from the kid (playing child Se Won). seeing the desperation n despair in his mother (as a single parent) was going through, was easy to read n very heart breaking. in the sec's before her accident, i wonder if she was wishing in her heart that her son would get run over, considering his autism it would be a merciful death as she didn't have the means to afford the treatment that would help him. maybe the next best choice would be her ending her own life, in the hopes that whoever took him in, would then help him - *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************what makes me uneasy is that the hospital took him in, and considering his abnormal brain, he grew up in a lab. so how come he could lead a normal life?!? idk have a weird feeling Jae Yi was (like many other's) put close to him, to monitor him. maybe seen too many movies, but that's the feeling i get, cause of how this ep unfolded. as a 1st ep this was interesting (as in, am intrigued where this gonna go) but not blown away, like i thought, i would be...

the guy playing Ki Tae is beautiful, a good actor, not to mention loved his character - very loveable n evokes empathy. really hard not to like him, or feel bad for him. his breakdown (which was a long time coming) in the previous ep n Wan's explanation for disappearing without notice (in this day n age having a i-phone attached to ones hip 24-7) is infuriating considering how he ghosted Ki Tae 7 yrs ago. dude lacks sensitivity, he for sure can't think of anyone other then himself. but he (supposedly) loves Ki Tae, ( ˘︹˘ ) ok **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but as these BL's go, everything was wrapped-up & solved with a hug & a kiss. suddenly someone who couldn't find his tongue to save his life (throughout this BL) found it in himself not only to turn down Producer Ahn n the perfect job opportunity, but also found it in himself to confess, make a commitment/promise to stay in Ki Tae's life n give his all, in the relationship.am i blown over all giddy at this ending - no. but am the odd one out, this was a very sweet n fluffy finale, to a rather emotionally turbulent, toxic relationship. so little wonder i aint buying it, but as am the minority, never mind...

am genuinely curious (as i don't know any Koreans i can't ask) is this a running theme in Korean society, where people just up n disappear to return after X amount of time, n the one left behind accepts them back with open arms, questions unasked?!? cause for whatever reason this the running Plot in quite a few K-drama's. for some reason, it's natural that one will disappear while the other is kept waiting (actually doesn't move on with life, with another love) but is left stagnate almost as if their life is on a stand-still, until their loved one decides to come back and then they r reanimated (it is so weird to me) this type of relationship. where one doesn't have to explain a thing, let alone offer some type of apology. while the other side is so big hearted or lacking of a spine, to demanded a modicum of respect for their feelings n time - mind boggling to me *********************************************************************************************************************************************************which brings me back to this BL, WTF is wrong with Wan?!? his passive, lying ass is getting on my last nerve, he acts the introvert, but he just evasive, noncommittal even. when Ki Tae interviewed him, asking him if he would leave the job, cause he got a better offer - he didn't answer, of course that was foreshadowing. anyone with a brain wouldn't go for a second interview with Producer Ahn after the 1st one. where he knew Wan n his body of work, what was the point of asking him to come n then trashing his work? and yet here Wan is at his beck and call, not being able to open his mouth one way or the other, letting Producer Ahn railroad him into a job? n the cherry on top lying to Ki Tae - why?!? i can't get people like Wan, they lack a backbone n cause of they inability to commit, they hurt people who care for them. n the worse part they act like they the injured party MOFO doesn't deserve Ki Tae. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************if Ki Tae's at fault, it's that he just was so elated that Wan's back in his life, he absolved him off all sin, without asking for an explanation, apology or assurances - that this time around he not only knew what he wanted, that he was ready to stick around when things got hard. idk how everyone else so gag over this BL, this totally a toxic mess IMHO
