wow so didn't expect to cry in this ep (well drama) and not cause it wasn't sad. but until now that sadness was expressed in frustration, even infuriation. watching Eri sing while Jun Hee played the piano for her - those two hurting souls leaning on each other, brought tears to my eyes - really like the harmony and peace that house and it's inhabitants exude - love seeing them interacting with each other. so hate seeing the "world" invade that sacred space. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************must say with everything going on, i get Haruki's side-story has relevance. but i really could care less for this dude and if he conquers his demons - even if the end is him coming to make peace with Jun Hee. let alone his breaking up was a much needed catalyst that not only pushed the plot forward, but made the lot confront their fears. find it hard to just forgive and forget 🤷♀️ that doesn't excuse his behavior or parting words. so i for one, really don't need or want to see more of him - i.e for him over coming those hurdle's - ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************last ep to go and personally i think most of the inhabitants of that house, still need healing and r not ready to leave - and yet that place is also an escape, where they don't have to deal with "life" - so will they ever be ready?!? will wait and see what the writer decided.

it was a lot of pent-up frustration on Mick's part, that was used by Bright to create a mess. and yet i found both Mick and Bright to be more relatable then Nut or Guy (well from the start of this, Guy have Never! been someone i found likeable) and Nut with his 'i care, but not enough to notice the elephant in the room (that i've been ignoring for 6 yrs yada yada...) not buying his bleedin heart act and yet other then repeating' - "u never verbalized ur feelings.." justifies him ignore the situation?!? PLZ 🙄 yeah i get he cares for Mick. but there was a lot of hypocrisy in his words and actions. that's why when Bright shamed the whole group, they had no come back - cause it was the truth. **********************************************************************the rest was a wrap-up, cause the next ep is the last - so suddenly Mick has gotten over the rejection let alone his heartache of 6 yrs. heck he so over it, he even up for Guy tagging along on their get-away with Nut, so he can hold a candle for both couples(?) as Sa is gonna be with her bf 😒🖐 aish whatever **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note if i lived where Mick lives, i would Never be spending anytime at someone else's - that place was beautiful in my eyes. that was the biggest clue of how much he cared for Nut ugh.

light and cute, i guess the end is fitting (even though idk why feel like something is missing And NOOOO i aint talking about a kiss. regarding this couple that hug was perfection). just donno something felt off and this end somehow doesn't satisfy me. hmm and considering how this has ended there an open for a second season, just saying - oh well it is what it is a great run and for sure will rewatch this time and again. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************mentioned this before, seen a ton of adaptation's whether they be from book's, novel's, manga's etc... and think to date, this is the first one, that the character's have truly been given life. usually i Hate over acting, but Michieda Shunsuke (whom i donno from Adam) has made it an art form as Aoki, think all of us agreed when Ida told him, he fell in love with his cuteness and over reactions - doubt there's anyone alive watching, who wasn't moved but his hysterically adorable character. pretty sure everyone would love to adopt him, if they could - no that Meguro Ren falls short - now this is the type of tsundere i would love to encounter *****************************************************************regarding the ep it's self wasn't a happy camper about how Aoki dealt with that whole situation. let alone Ida looking alike a lost lamb. but kept remembering teacher Okano and how he reacted - that was the first time someone on the outside found out about Aoki and Ida's relationship and even though it was dealt with and ended well - that's something u can't forget. and i feel Aoki was running scared, yes for himself, but also for Ida (as in - he didn't want him to experience that). so even though i was fuming, i kept reminding myself about that traumatic experience - hard to brush that off. so understandable over reaction. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw glad the side couple also got their time in the lime light, even though have to say Hashimoto is scary strong - hope Aida doesn't anger her, cause he wont survive

well that was uncomfortable to watch, sorry but both seemed uncomfortable in their skin, doing that scene, so little wonder watching it made me cringe, and fast-forward the whole thing... the rest, finally logical - ****************************************** get Mario's reaction steamed more from Jethro posting their(?) his(?) nude(?) pic online, informing the "world" they got it on. Still there a lot of info missing - for me to figure out how i would react in that situation. as for me, something private like that has no business being broadcasted online (no matter what went on, that's private) just for some "like's" - like plz. so i got the anger. and yet Mario seemed more bent out of shape, cause they "didn't define the relationship first"? which - what relationship?!? as he pointed out 'Jethro only there for 2 months' (and considering how long he been ghosting Mario, maybe a month has already passed¯\_(ツ)_/¯) so i ask again, talk about what? a long one-night-stand?!? Jethro not staying, so i didn't get what they were both making a big deal out off -*************************************************************************************as much as i dislike Jethro, he has been clear and upfront from day one - he hasn't manipulated or lied to Mario. now that he slept with him, his sudden turn around and that convo with his friend, was surprising. as he didn't seem really into Mario - he seemed to be playing, that's for sure. *********************************************************************************************** Yeah until now we haven't seen his POV. as in where he has been while he was ghosting Mario. and what he though after each encounter, let alone while it was taking place. and from his words and action, other then "player" having a good time "playing" with a naïve push-over, i didn't read more. so his "i think i'm in love" came out of nowhere ****************************************************************************************************************************************same with Mario's anger, that should've calmed down considering how infatuated he was with Jethro, here his first time was given away without any prelude - showing how much he was blinded by his infatuation with Jethro. so going with his behavior to date, shouldn't he have been elated and jumped into Jethro's awaiting arms, the sec he contacted him and told him he deleted the pic ?!? if anything he was the one that knowing Jethro only there for 2 months didn't stop from meeting up at every turn 9even after he got ghosted time and time again). anyone with a brain would come to the conclusion that he ok with the situation - suddenly he not?!? why?!? ************************************************************************************************so his turning to Arnold was a WTF dude - why? what ? like talk stupid pointless move - but have to say this whole plot is a mess

maybe it's me but in this ep the newbie-ness was apparent - their acting or lack there off.. was cringe and some scenes made me laugh in second hand embarrassment. plus this plot is all over the place. *************************************************** Luke and his (sorry but) disgusting family; that he is supporting by robbing people?!? that mother, sitting on her fat ass gambling and then calling Luke "a ungrateful self-centered son", cause he doesn't want to finance her addition - like is she real? and if she not enough, we got the other son that's no better (well he doesn't gamble, so that's somewhat better). but he also calling Luke, trying to hit him up for money, and Luke lounging on the beach?!? like What is going on. i don't get it - it's not that this beach is full of rich people - well other then Calix, who already got robbed. so shouldn't he (who won't say no and keeps financing that family) go find new easy marks(?) so he can have the money to give them? but Nope, he on that beach - playing with sand and finding reasons to get in Calix's face - that's if Calix doesn't find a reason to get in his first - that push and pull between them, is getting ridiculously funny. as in stupid - sorry but it is what it is. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************and if this wasn't enough we have the other "pair" which i guess is fairing better, as their being around each other has some logic to it - and u can kinda see (well guess at, as their acting skills makes everything random) so "see" - that they r "noticing" each other and so finding reasons to be around each other - that for sure better then Luke and Calix. **************************************************************************************************************************************** mentioning Calix, WTF is his ex-gf's problem - who died and made her queen?!? she treats everyone like dirt and people Still want to be in her company, WHY?!? ************************************************************************************************* but putting that aside for now - WTF was that Bad Act on the beach, she standing and the next sec she on the ground - how she twist anything, let alone break?!? and who buying that act - come on! if i was the girl in Calix's group i would burst out laughing at that - but nooooo, all the moron's around rush to help her - Luck for some reason leading the group - like WTF is going on

hmmm must say idk what is going on in Mario's head - Jethro again ghosts him and when he finally calls, its for a booty-call - say what u will, u contact someone and ask them to ur place "to bond" that means f*cking. ******************************************* u male or female - doesn't matter, what sex ur attracted too doesn't matter. u invite someone to urs "to bond" that basically "netflix and chill". heck even his bff told him he needed to "ready" himself. and as he still a virgin what he accept?!? that Jethro would romance him? has he done so until this point? has he verbally let alone in actions? cause i seemed to have missed it - ******************************************************************** and yet Jethro just has to "curve his finger" and Mario is "up on his hind-legs, front paws up in the air - tongue out panting happily for Jethro's next command. so Why he so shocked that the first room Jethro wanted to "show" him, was the bedroom?!? - why run? why get astounded that he would at every turn "try"?!? Mario isn't stupid - sad that he is acting it.... *******************************************************************************************also seeing him in the "future" saying how important that day was - let alone how impactful Jethro was to his life, is kind of a bad joke - cause i have yet to see Jethro show genuine affection. when u want to build something, u share ur life with the other person. here how many times have they gotten together(?) and only now he told Mario he comes from a broken home (and nothing more). while Mario's on their first date disclosed that his parents split up when he was a kid and he doesn't even remember his father - that not "heavy" hard info to tell someone new?!? plz ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************so as much as there were cute moments, like Mario panicking and then the shopping, cooking and the heart to heart. considering it's really one sided. this not a romance just a hook-up. get that Mario has fallen hard and cause of that, he can't see the obvious - but i aint blind or infatuated - so this just sad, let alone a recipe for a broken heart ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

before anything this drama is Chonna(!), she isn't just hilarious she is hysterical - "my hobby is telemarketing.." OMO she nuts and little wonder even Jethro's friend couldn't help but dissolve in laugher. and she is the reason i keep watching - cause sorry the "romance" is a train wreck - the only thing i can See is that Mario is hot for Jethro, so much so his brain - common sense and logic, that should make him run the other way - not working. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Jethro is here for 2 months and after the first date - where he last minute changed the time of the meet, and then showed-up late. not even bothering to apologize. after that he ghosted him, calling him on the day off and offering to meet - not alone - no explanation, no nothing and with the bff's in toe - like WTF?!? and then he has the audacity to preach - calling Mario a perfectionist - sorry how long has he spent in his company? 5 hrs max?? if that - and he already can read him and is preaching to him - really?!? and Mario so blinded by lust, he can't think straight?!? unless he a masochist and enjoys being treated like dirt - sorry this a recipe for a headache, not only heartache - how this supposed to be sweet and fun?!? ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* this a sad imitation of love and ironically Jethro has made is perfectly clear he's not looking for anything long term - but like i already pointed out. he a player and his " u r the only one who ignored me at the party b.s..." like come on - anyone with eyes could see Mario was the Only one, at that party that Couldn't get his eyes off Jethro the sec he walked in. guess that ego massage did wonders for Jethro's self-esteem, and he wants more of the same while he's there.

must say i'm enjoying Mario more with his bff, then with douche Jethro (cause with her he is a normal dude, funny, bitchy, sweet - full of life. with Jethro he reverts back into his shell - not only get's timid but subservient, letting that douche put him down ugh). so Jethro hasn't grown on me and he for sure hasn't done a thing to redeem himself from the previous ep. ********************************************************************************************************************* i get Mario is smitten so his head aint working. but everything about Jethro screams player. his attitude - the things he says, let alone him always subtlety putting Mario down and then laughing it off. this wasn't cute - if anything indicates a manipulator that's looking for someone to play around with, as he only there for 2 months. in real life this a shit ton of warning signs and anyone with a brain would run a mile - ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************really starting to wonder how this is a romance, let alone a love story people be rooting for ?!?

1st ep and took me ages to finish - talk second hand embarrassment like a MOFO, it was like none stop - one thing after the other. why invite someone to ur party and then proceed to make him a joke?!? i didn't get that - watching that, felt just itchy - i was so uncomfortable in my own skin, seeing Mario who is kinda cute. but the way he was going about like a lost puppy - just taking the hit's with a smile, made the whole experience much more unbearable to watch - hence the endless pausing - thus it taking over an 1hr to watch 25 min's - talk ridiculous ugh! *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************and Jethro's "u smell like sh*t.." that flirting?!? supposed to be cute?!? let alone taking his pic after he "tripped" into the cake?!? really?? - i donno, this was not pleasurable. hope the next ep Mario fairs better cause this supposed to be a romance - and having just watched this ep, knowing that Jethro's only come for a few months, i donno if any relationship with him is worth the trouble ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ given his personality ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - couldn't they find guys that were more or less the same height?!? heck considering Mario's introvert, shy, quite personality he comes off a total victim. as is with the way he act's he seems more nerd then hunk and Jethro's size and extrovert personality, make him seem intimidating in comparison - maybe just me, but they an odd fit.

there is something that is really frustrating me in this drama - there norms and rules in the world - doctor patient confidentiality a big one, let alone cops can't just ask to come into a suspects house, and then proceed to collect evidence, cause that not admissible in court - or someone can update meת that in China, people in authority can do what the f*ck they want and the average joe is basically powerless?!? cause i'm too used to people/character's/plotlines actually following the law and basic human rights, so this feels like a major plot hole and it's infuriating to watch/ignore - as here it's a free for all. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************then little wonder Shen Yu can walk around cleaning after her father (as a kid she was that knowledgeable? or those letter's left so much info about what to do? and i miss that?!??), covering her own tracks and finding out info about other's, enough to use and manipulate them like freakin puppets. this is frustrating to watch. also little wonder her father is such a prolific serial killer¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but on that note how the cop's (that not following any rules) not capable of catching the bad-guys? ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - if Xia Mu Not seeing that blabber-mouth psychiatrist (that didn't have time - but wouldn't stop chatting with Xia Mu's "new psychiatrist") then how he getting his medication?

hard to get a handle on Shen Yu, wrote in the previous ep, that i didn't think she was a psycho - here there's tons of evidence to the contrary - i get a kid would do a lot to cover for their parents out of fear they would/could lose them, especially when they the only family they got. but watching a young teen be that meticulous, was a bit weird. let alone her having a kit for fingerprint identification at home - weird on top of weird. **************************************************************************************seeing the "gift's" her father is sending her over the yrs - considering the last one - they trophies from him victim's. and i guess as he's making sure they ultra clean - he's leaving it with her for safe keeping?!? still just freaky - *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also she prime example, how one could use their profession as a scary weapon. seeing her giving that poor dude sleeping pills and soothing music was worrisome - as with her it for sure will me some mind-control manipulation shit. like she did with the previous kid that suffered a mind-break.... btw still wondering why Xiao Bing who totally suspected her involvement in that mess - has moved on - confused.

what i don't get is, don't they have psychiatric test before enabling people to join the police force or in china that not the case?!? cause if Xia Mu has a blood related PTSD trauma or whatever it is - he is suffering from. how can he serve let alone function in major crimes(?) where "blood" is their bread and butter?!?and i get the psychiatrist he is seeing is a private one, so there no info for the cops to find, when doing a background check and yet Shen Yu's hacker found all that out in a sec. donno if i'm impressed or find it absurd. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the plus point liking that Xiao Bing towards the end of the end suddenly did a 180 and offered Xia Mu partnership. that was a nice thing to see. as until now they didn't trust each other and it seemed that they were constantly butting heads. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw watching everything go down with Shen Yu and that kid, i don't think she a psycho per-say - maybe just miss guided, and compassion was the motivator in her always covering up for him or making him confront his abusive father. but as she a freakin psychiatrist, she should've know better about how fragile his psychic was and known that sooner or later he would break. so she pretty incompetent - and her father sending her that fridge magnet for her B-Day kinda proves he is the serial killer. so what she gonna prove otherwise?!? this contradicts what's written in the description - no?

so what we supposed to "get" that Shen Yu is a bit of a psycho, cause her father might be? cause most people don't go getting background checks on people that confront them. that was weird, but also explains how some random hacker found the "victim" that was abusing animals. but then why forward that info to her patient, that was vulnerable mentally - unless she wanted him to "break" and do what he did. she knowledgeable enough to know what would happen in that situation, given her consulting that kid. so either way she not a "good guy" ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************and have to say considering Xia Mu a newbie that's always one step ahead of veterans, in that department/unit why he forget to charge his phone? let alone drop his medication on the street - like talk rookie move.

still not hooked - maybe cause to me this is progressing at a slow pace - wont say snail paced as this has moved along and this is still setting the stage for all the main's (heck the female lead aint even hinted at - and she apart of this triangle). so if this keeps going, i might get bored - as is kept zoning in and out of whatever was going on, and yet didn't miss a thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not a great indicator - so here's hoping this picks up pace
Was this review helpful to you?
wont say i'm hooked - heck even agree with commenter's that aint happy campers, about how this ep was played out - but used to tons of plot holes at the start of some drama's just to get the story started. sometimes it's just to idiotic to keep going (like a drama i wont mention) here in-spite of the "glitches" this wasn't that bad, and there were also good points and the most important part - i wanna know what comes next - so hope this gets better as this progresses ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - child actor was really good, pity wont see more of him.
