estar Jung Ki Sub is so chaotic & i am so here for it. the only thing that keeps worrying me is that heart monitor he got on his phone - normal (not sick) people don't have that app on their phones - so why does he?!???? also love this hair style on him it suits his personality. **************************************************************************************************************************he's exactly what Jin Woo needs in his life, cause of him Jin Woo finally had a heart to heart with his father. he opened up to confess his feelings, even though that was something he would be to scared of doing even if Ki Sub wasn't the object of his affection. *****************************************************************************************************************************back to the heart monitor i have a feeling that is why he said "sorry" at the end, he needs to travel to the US to get it fixed... am assuming lol - either way i just don't want a sad ending plzzzz **********************************************************************************************************************************************as is poor Choi Balg Eum suffering all alone & he got no one to turn too, no one that can comfort him. & as he is self-reliant i hope he doesn't lose any of the jobs, cause of this current mental "break". that would be making this whole situation go from bad to worse.

poor Balg Eum, boy broke my heart. but i am so so glad he communicated with Ji In Ho this time around. as is seeing him doing everything to make sure the date with Ji In Ho was perfect & then still everything kept falling apart, just to remind him that he & Ji In Ho not on an equal playing ground. *****************************************************************************************************it's very hard to be with someone u love, wanting to do & give them everything & not being capable financially to do the bear minimum. it's demoralizing. as is poor guy's working around the clock just to keep his head above water. broke my heart. now that Ji In Ho knows what will he do. cause offering to be Balg Eum's sugar daddy isn't an option, given Balg Eum's personality - not to mention that would be humiliating for anyone with a bit of pride. *********************************************************************************************************************************************in the 1st couples case i wanted Jin Woo to be more proactive & search out Ki Sub, but given his personality it was logical him reverting & going into hiding, until he has healed enough to resume his life. ************************************************************also given the scenes with Ki Sub always being in a nurses office & the hints about his medication & hospital stays.. WTH is going on with him? is he going to the US with his sister just to study, or is there something medical involved? i so hope we not getting a double whammy of a bad/sad ending （＞人＜；）

find it kinda ironic how the script was flipped in this ep, the 2nd couple were totally harmonious, which made me scratch my head, as they went from rolling around throwing punches to eating together, being shy & coy with each other. & the 1st couple got their signals mixed & parted by the end of this ep (ノへ￣、)********************************************************************************************************************************************i get why Kang Hye Jin showed-up before Ki Sub to make a scene, but sorry that was a crazy way to act. get she was hurting cause her crush had a crush on someone else, that ended up hurting her. still doesn't justify showing-up at someone's job & causing loss for someone uninvolved. her saying sorry & explaining herself, didn't make it any better, especially when the owner asked her kindly not to do that there. she got beef with Ki Sub, call him outside, rant & rave (which i personally don't think is here place, as Ki Sub didn't cheat on her & didn't force her gf to fall for him) anyway didn't like her behavior. but her not lashing out at Jin Woo redeemed her a bit in my eyes. **********************************************************************************but her white-lies pushed Ki Sub into believing Jin Woo had chosen her - pity. especially for Jin Woo who finally was ready to take a chance....

this is so funny & unpredictable.. here i was feeling a bit guilty cause i liked how Jin Woo finally clicked with a girl, that fit his list of the prefect person to date & yet i knew it wasn't to be, as Ki Sub is his intended. then we get the ending lol ヾ(≧▽≦*)o**********************************************************************************************************************************************but confused about the 2nd couple. from the previous ep i thought that Ji In Ho ghosted Balg Eum after they got together. in this ep it looks like Balg Eum was the one that ghosted Ji In Ho cause of his family situation. so am lost as to why the dialogue in the previous ep was a total mislead - why ＼（〇_ｏ）／

bitter sweet ending; one couple getting close with that sweet sweet kiss & the other aish - what was that....****************************************************************************************************************************************************the 1st couple r fun & funny. Ki Sub getting extensions & changing his hair color, not enough. dude wanted to get a tattoo so he will be the type Jin Woo wants as a partner. but the over-sized overalls substituted for the dress did me in - goofball is hilarious. but love in-spite of being such an airhead, he knew to go after Jin Woo & clear up the misunderstanding, when Jin Woo saw when Balg Eum was holding his had & dragging him off on his bike. **************************************************************************************************************************************************about the 2nd couple - is Balg Eum angry cause Ji In Ho went abroad to pursuer his studies basically abandoning him after they slept together. maybe without informing him? maybe breaking it off completely? is that why he is pissed he suddenly appeared & wants to resume things as if nothing happened? ***********************************************************************************but still don't get why he keeps talking about the sleeping part? cause from what i got from what Balg Eum said i think they already did sleep together & (maybe) Ji In Ho reacted badly???

kinda like the opposite's attract theme between Kim Jin Woo & Jung Ki Sub, they like oil & water. i get wanting Jin woo to come out of his comfort zone & live a little, but considering how unserious Ki Sub is, i don't fault Jin Woo for being this weary. if he was as lighthearted as Ki Sub, he could deal with whatever came after a light fling. but that isn't how he works - so for him ever little thing counts, confessing let alone starting a relationship isn't taken lightly. so he is running scared & i don't fault him.if anything am wondering what will make Ki Sub finally take anyone serious. will it be Jin Woo, or will he also be another one of his meaningless conquest's.***********************************************************************************************************************************************what the hell was the offer(?) appointment(?) made at the end by Ji In Ho??? would've loved more of a back & forth to get some idea of what went on between him & Choi Balg Eum, why he disappear & now decided not just to reappear but to make his offer...

this was adorable & better then i thought it would be acting & quality wise. love all the character's we've been introduced too, even though for now Choi Balg Eum is my favorite. (●'◡'●) Jung Ki Sub is such a goofball idk why he thinks cockroaches can be cute, but he is killing me with that line. this is gonna be fun

knew there was a good reason for Su Hyeon to beat that dude, & sorry but him saying "...Jae Min put him up to it..." might be true, but who goes along with sh*t like that? plus he didn't look like he was just going through the motions, it looked like he was into Da On & if Da On hadn't called Su Hyeon, god only knows what would've happened & how much further Jae Min would've allowed that guy to get, before he stepped in & stopped him!!? ********************************************************************also, why even do that sh*t, Da On was already crushing on him what more did he want? like how sick is he in the head?!? dude is seriously messed-up, he's already using Da On's family situation to hold him close & indebted to him. he also wanted to destroy him mentally?!? does he suffer from munchausen by proxy - hurt him while also acts like his savior?!? WTF**********************************************************************************************************************************************& sorry for Su Hyeon that he got manipulated by a psycho like Jae Min, but it is too late - he missed the boat & needs to come clean, so he can get his heart broken & move on. cause given his family, he can't allow himself to love whoever he wants & live the life he chooses. if he gave up everything maybe & yet cause he has played the part of the bad-guy too a tea, now changing his image in Da On's eyes will be near impossible. ********************************************************************************************************************************************Seong Hyeon it the best, healthies choice for Da On, the kiss while hot wasn't appropriate considering Da On was out of his mind. so u can't really call it consensual. know it's hard but Seong Hyeon should've held back after the initial kiss & waited for Da On to be sober - then he wouldn't call out some other guys name

both Jae Min & Su Hyeon r morons, they fighting each other - which is great cause that cleared the way for Seong Hyeon to reach Da On 1st.******************************************************************************************************************************************but i don't get the stupid bet on Jae Min's part. he knows that Da On's has a crush on him & would happily date him. why make the offer to Su Hyeon in the 1st place?!? it's not like Su Hyeon confessing would make Da On date him. Su Hyeon on the other hand, making the bet is logical. cause he also noticed that Da On had eyes only for Jae Min, so he wouldn't stand a chance when he confessed. so his choice was logical. ******************************************************************************************************************************************but i am happy for Seong Hyeon, he is such a big hearted guy he deserves happiness. i just hope he doesn't get rejected. also love that he is kind & giving, but i really wish he would stop telling Da On to not show thanks for all he receives. being a giver is a great quality, but u also need to know ur worth & not blindly give - people need to appreciate u, saying thanks is the least they can do in return! his attitude will make the receiver complacent & in the worse case scenario, they might take him for granted. ******************************************************************************************************************************************side note: Su Hyeon needs to take a chill-pill. dude's like the freakin hulk. doesn't he get that he is scaring the sh*t out of Da On?!? who thinks that's a turn-on? or is he a Neanderthal, thinking that bashing Da On on the head with a club & dragging him back to his cave, is the way to win him over?!???

idk why people salivating over Su Hyeon (or even Jae Min for that matter - whom i dislike), not that i like or dislike him (Su Hyeon) as we haven't seen much of him, for me to form an opinion. the fact he beat someone, tells me that maybe that dude was harassing or trying to hurt Da On & the epilogue kinda affirms my conclusions. *****************************************************************************************************************************************Seong Hyeon is a sweetheart & i think if anyone deserves to be the ML, it is him. he's considerate, supportive & sorry but anyone would start developing feelings, with how Da On finds reasons to get close to him, touching him when that isn't something average co-workers do, even if they working together for yrs. ***********************************************************heck in this BL everyone very touchy feely & that's Not normal even between acquittance's - like how Jae Min keeps touching Da On. *********************************************************************************************************************************it feels like a tease & when he gets confessed too, he gaslights Da On, as if he the deluded one that's in the wrong, to interpreter Jae Min's words as actions as flirting -*****************************************************************************************************************************************from what i've seen Jae Min was attracted to Da On the sec he saw him & that is why he rushed to offer his tutoring services (for free). Da On having a crush on him was a great ego massage, that he loves getting - but why he started dating Su Hyeon or why he rejected Da On i have yet to figure out.

the guy playing Jung Da On is Very beautiful. think he is the best looking among the girls, let alone the guys in this drama. he is like a picture, every time his face comes on screen, i just keep thinking, he is so pretty - from every angle.***********************************************************************************************************************************************there were a few cringe moments, but thankfully Ju Seong Hyeon's bubbly, cheerful personality made me laugh & i could get over the 2nd hand embarrassment. unlike Da On & Jae Min he doesn't take himself too seriously. the other 2 from what i have seen, walk around with a dark cloud hovering over them. maybe in Da On's case i can get it (considering his unrequited love & his family situation) but there is tension between them & it made me uncomfortable.*********************************************************************************************************************************************idk how the new guy Jae Min's ex fits in, but guess we will see as this unfolds. as is (if Da On decides to stop being a curmudgeon, maybe then he would be worthy of Seong Hyeon. cause i want someone that will add to Seong Hyeon's happiness, not bring him down. so lets hope Da On doesn't put him through the wringer...

bitter sweet ending. idk how i feel about it - like there is logic in Song I Heon moving on, when Kim Deuk Pal's soul is occupying his body. but him hanging around & then deciding to move on (& the reason why), just shows how he got broken & that is so depressingly sad IMO. **********************************************************************************************************************that's also why i kind don't agree with how he rushed to forgive Choi Se Kyung, that scene was needed more for Choi Se Kyung sake, then the victims. the fact Choi Se Kyung was suffering didn't justify him taking it out on someone that was worse off then him. so i personally still don't like Choi Se Kyung any better by the end. i am Very happy for him, that he has finally started standing up to his father - but that doesn't mean i forgive what he did to Song I Heon *********************************************************************************************************************************************also how Lee Mi Kyung was dealt with, was totally unsatisfying. i don't care that the gross chairman will drop her (or not). she actively made Song I Heon's & his mothers life a living hell. & by her getting tossed aside & a few mins of kneeling in embarrassment ,make's it ok?!? miss me with this sh*t.******************************************************************************************************************************************the best redemption arc was Hong Jae Min, who didn't disappoint me till the end. i would rather Song I Heon speak on his behalf, so he gets a lesser sentence. then the way it ended. cause if there was anyone that really turned a new page & repented it was him. **********************************************************************************************************************really enjoyed binge watching this & i will happily rewatch.

in spite of that sh*t-eating-grin, i trust in Hong Jae Min. gut feeling but i doubt someone that cleaned-up his act & house, plans on selling out the guy that has shown him kindness, even after he bullied him for over 2 yrs. hope i aint wrong.**********************************************************************************************************************************************also happy that Song I Heon's mother has finally sobered up. but i don't get why she happily took any medication Lee Mi Kyung gave her. she knew that she was her's mans new mistress - why trust her in ur house, let alone with ur mental health. don't get the logic behind that.also if Lee Mi Kyung is just one in a long line of women the Chairman has - why she has so much power or any of his women, let alone his only son & heir?!? considering he has never even bothered to check in on his son i am scratching my head behind the logic.*******************************************************************************************************************************************Choi Myung Hyun, Se Kyung's father is despicable. if he & Lee Mi Kyung join hands OMG they could destroy anyone. scary

what a sh*t show. but as there 2 more eps to go, i guess we needed a bit of drama for it to get cleared out, by the end. still annoys me to no end that, that witch with a B, Lee Mi Kyung is still not just walking free, but causing so much trouble, or rather adding fuel to the fire. *********************************************************************************************************************************************Choi Myung Hyun, Se Kyung's father is the worse kind of adult. leave what he is doing to his son - which is bad enough, but he is happily destroying another kids life just cause he is getting in the way of his "educating" his own son. ****************************Song I Heon told Choi Se Kyung that he's not at fault & that he needs to talk to his father. sorry, but no amount of talking is gonna change that man. the one at fault is the mother that is MIA, she knows who her husband is, yet she leaves her son to a man that is obsessively, controlling & he might not be physically abusive, but he for sure is mentally messing up his child. & if he keeps it up sooner or later Se Kyung will snap & do what he almost did at the end of the previous ep. *******************************************************************************************************************************************side note: said this before & will say this again. Kim Deuk Pal is acting his gangster self with everyone - which is great in handling the bad-guys & bullies. but when he switches back with OG Song I Heon, then what?!? Song I Heon is still his meek old self that can't stand-up for himself - then what?!? & even if he is a spectator to how Kim Deuk Pal is living his life, that doesn't mean he is changing & growing into him.

had a feeling Choi Se Kyung's father was gonna be bad-er news for Kim Deuk Pal, then the gangsters. & from what we have seen until now i got overbearing, not physically abusive. but i guess we will see that in the next ep. *******************************************************************************************************************************************either way this fun & funny.... just wish Lee Mi Kyung wasn't so evasive. how is she the chairman's secretary & no one knows where she's at. really weird.
