estar 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

yeah yeah cute fluffy n all... not that i thought so - lets say every scene was tainted for me (no point repeating myself, already explained why in the previous ep), just not falling over myself watching them finally together. it feels lacking for want of a better word. everything happened too soon (not cause this a short ass BL/ep) just this whole plot is rushed IMHO everything happening at such a fast pace, it's not leaving my head spinning, more making me doubt the logic in how this should unfold, so i aint ecstatic to say the least... ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the hurdle at the end, ironic?!? for sure not shocking. idk but just not as euphoric as everyone else watching, n so wanted to be...

reading the other comments, come to the conclusion that i'm just a cynic / pessimist at heart (no surprises there ) but as cute n fluffy a this ep was, kept thinking this totally unrealistic / unbelievable. cause like i previously mentioned, if anyone did me like Wan did (not talking about confessing n dashing) but the disappearing act he pulled, is something i could Never really forgive or forget. i for sure wouldn't be able to trust that person again. so seeing Ki Tae's confession in the previous ep, let alone his continual confession - while Wan played dumb was more bitter, then sweet IMHO ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************i get the motivation behind his actions, but for me there r things that r just black n white. but then no BL (if Ki Tae acted same as me). still will be lying if i say am happy, he keeps wooing Wan. when Wan should have at least apologized for ghosting him. made some sort of a overture, other then acting coy or deaf n dumb, avoiding reacting to hearing Ki Tae's non-stop confessions. i didn't think it was cute - so i aint as elated as the rest in the comment section ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but am usually the odd one out so what's new

maybe the only one, but i love how petty Ki Tae is, being magnanimous/humble/forgiving is overrated in my books. especially when Wan keeps acting like he's the injured party. will keep repeating this - Ki Tae didn't reject him, if anything Wan's the bad-guy, he befriended Ki Tae with ulterior motives, became his bff n then just up n disappeared cause the sec he confessed, Ki Tae didn't give him what he wanted. personally i would be pissed and given my personality, doubt (even if there was a chance of me reciprocating those feelings) his actions would make me reject even wanting to be friends with him, let alone more. ************so Ki Tae a much much better person then me. here he's trying to support him for afar, even helping him gain employment helping further his career, n Wan got his panties in a bunch like plz *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************dude playing Ki Tae is gorgeous - random observation

this making me laugh, not cause it's funny. but cause i keep getting it wrong - or rather my assumption's r wrong regarding Ki Tae. already had a feeling in the previous ep, that even though i initially connected with Wan's character. Ki Tae would be the one i would end loving by the end, this ep has assured that fact. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************what i got wrong, was me thinking Ki Tae isn't angry at Wan for ghosting him (pulling the disappearing act) after the confession. he just much more subtle n suave with his approach - me, am more a bull in a china shop (¬‿¬) **********************************so kinda loving that he cares but that doesn't mean he will come groveling offering his heart. in his own way he is punishing Wan - good on him! **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw Wan has no right to act the injured party. i get being so insecure ur running scared. but just cause Ki Tae wasn't ready to be kissed n automatically reciprocated ur feelings, doesn't a bad-guy make him. it's been 7 yrs, am pretty sure Wan had ample time to rethink that instance, rethink his action wondering if he acted/reacted differently what the outcome would be. not once did it cross his mind that he has condemned Ki Tae without really giving him a chance to react?!? ***************************the basis of his animosity r his own assumption's - would think an adult would know better. why Ki Tae the bad-guy?! him recommending u for a job, makes him the bad-guy, why? should he have hugged u after u ghosted him?!? did u acknowledge him? so why he in the wrong, when u didn't act any different then him?

guess was wrong n Ki Tae isn't a douche, he also didn't get a chance to reject Wan. what i did appreciate was seeing the whole scene, cause personally i would rather he confessed with words then just surprise kiss someone, to confess his feelings - that's a bit much IMHO. so seeing that Wan first conveyed his feeling via words, his explanation was the action, feel relived. **********also get his freakin out, n just booking it instead of waiting for an answer (which he was sure would be a rejection), otherwise he wouldn't ghost his bff. sad but sometimes u can't rush courage, u need to deal with life n ur feeling on ur own. maybe after 7 yrs he will be stronger to face his wants n needs - let alone be ready to take what the world or the person he loves will dish out. i hope - ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************of course looking at this from Ki Tae POV he was surprised n should've gotten the time to understand n react. but he got none of that, if anything he lost a good friend - so i get his not being able to forget Wan. personally i would be angrier if i was in his shoes, but all in all more promising then the 1st ep

well unlike everyone else in the comment section, i aint that moved by what i saw. if anything disliking Ki Tae already, at first i thought he didn't notice or recognize Lee Wan. but that isn't the case - worse he knows who he is n for whatever reason is enjoying his discomfort. maybe this a way to tease - personally not over the moon at this approach. not when u see how vulnerable Lee Wan is... especially after he gathered his courage to confess his feelings to his bff n (m guessing) was rejected. but everyone gaga over this so hope this gets better - **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but will say good looking guys (both of them) n so wasn't expecting that baritone to come out of Lee Wan, what with that baby face.

have to point this out, Ji Hyun a freakin hypocrite (❁´◡`❁) he kept busting Joon Pyo's balls, about not bringing girls back to their room, but he can bring his bf?!? rude lol ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but fun end ep (it was a bit kitsch, but that's how i feel about the kumbaya vibe in general). get this a wrap-up, so everyone makes peace with everyone, there no hard feelings etc... i guess some will go gaga over it, to me it feels a bit contrived - ************************************************************************************************************************************************i enjoyed more the funny moments - which thankfully there were quite a few of; from Ji Hyun waking up frantically searching for Jae Won, only to find him buddying up n drinking coffee with goofball Joon Pyo. or Ae Ri figuring out that Ji Hyun & Jae Won r finally together. ***************************************************************************************************************darling Yoon Won finding a job let alone turning out to be a cougar, was the hilarious cherry on top of this fluffy ep. but all in all a wholesome BL. wont say it's perfect cause the end is a bit fantastical, considering the toxic, possessed baggage Jae Won carrying around - but in fantasy- land this was a good end to a sweet romance.

loved this ep for so many reasons. Ji Hyun got great friends in Ae Ri and Joon Pyo not only caring, but give good advise. and speaking of good advise, even Jae Won got his dose from his therapist and then Ji Hyun's boss. about time - was getting freakin heartbreaking watching him give Ji Hyun's back those longing, yearning looks. ****************************************************no matter how much he pushed him away, the sec he turned his back - u saw Jae Won's true feelings written all over his face, so happy how this ep ended - about time ***********************************************************************************************idk what else is instore, as we still got one more ep to go, but fingers crossed there no more surprise's installed for us`(*>﹏<*)′ ****************************************************************************************************************************************btw i still stand by my previous POV, that Jae Won a broken individual, n doesn't have anything to offer, as he needs to invest all of his energy in healing. but this a fantasy, not reality - so stand by what i wrote in the paragraph above - wish them a happily ever after in the next ep with no more hurdle's

Jae Won getting jealous of Ae Ri at the start was kinda hilarious, but really love Ae Ri (another wholesome female character), she's pushing Ji Hyun out of his comfort zone. he needs someone to be a friend, help him to just let loose once in a while - act his age. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw reading some of the comments guess am the only one who found this ep hilarious, think until Tae Hyung put his foot in it, mentioning Jae Won younger sibling - or a lack there off... this was really fun n funny - ********************************************but at least now we have a vague picture on Jae Won's background/story. but don't get what the psychiatrist meant, by "not crossing the line" what line? how could he get closer to the friend that comforted him, n which line wasn't to be crossed. feel like something got lost in translation. ************************************************************************************************also get Jae Won getting treatment to stop being a people pleaser (among other things), but as he still the same he hasn't made much progress. Tae Hyung runs off at the mouth cause he knows Jae Won wont just laugh it off, he will keep quite n enable him. anyone else would put him straight when he was sober, make it clear that he needs to mind his words if he still wants them to remain friends. Jae Won just avoiding confrontation - not a great indicator in reality *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: the reason Jae Won feels comfortable around Ji Hyun is cause his naivete, inexperience n innocence reminds him of his brother. thought so from the start, this sad yet very understandable.
