Typhoon had the perfect opportunity to come clean about everything. but of course it takes this moron ages to open his mouth & speak. so not shocking the revelation about his father will be push to the next ep. but now am wondering the person Tonfah got to investigate about Typhoon, who told him about Torfun's death - did he give him additional info about Tonfah being illegitimate? maybe about his father's treatment - guess we will find out in the next ep . *******************************************btw am happy Tonfah's parents rushed to accept the couple - but it felt a bit unrealistic, same with their lack of questioning Typhoon on the dinner table about his family & sibling. it was weird... *************************************************************side note: u can't judge a book by it's cover, here the way Tonfah acted all lid back & full of patience i didn't foresee how horny the dude would be lol.. he can't keep his cool - from the sec he accepted his feelings, Typhoon was his for the taking whether Typhoon was ready or not. dude all hands & is ready to gobble up Typhoon at any sec now - freakin hilarious ************************************************************************************************************************************************************the last point i need to make is this - Typhoon basically said f*ck it & decided to be with Tonfah, but his father finding out doesn't just mean cutting his tuition, it means disowning him completely, where he gonna stay? how he gonna study?!? how he gonna support himself ?!? until now he hasn't even thought of looking for a part time job. so what, he gonna cross his fingers & hope Tonfah turns into his sugar-daddy that fund's him, instead of his father??? guess that's one way to go, from being solely dependent from one man to another...

very cute & all but i am still waiting for Typhoon to tell Tonfah about his sister & his father. he owes him an apology & the truth. but like usually he just goes after Tonfah disregarding the consequences & then when it's time to face the music, he buckle's & hurts Tonfah. this time i really hope he doesn't go the usually route - cause sorry but his tears don't make me forgive or like him. & i really love North, so kinda am annoyed when the others in his group belittle him, yeah jokes aside - that's getting annoying - given he the best of the lot.

Typhoon's father is a freakin menace, WTF is wrong with this dude?!? can't he keep his pants zipped?!? it's good that his new wife(?) ex to be is a good person (that even thought) she contacted Typhoon to only ask if he was a good father, even if he was a lousy husband, she was still was kind towards Typhoon & told him to contact her if he needed anything. even though i doubt he will call her, still the fact she offered was very sweet. but men like his father need to be castrated, cause he a bad husband & a worse father. *************************************************************************************************************************& for someone who wants to keep his existence a secret Typhoon for sure knows how to put his foot in it. by the end Tonfah figured that the person that was sending him gift's every morning & Typhoon r one & the same. personally after how Typhoon treated him more then once (in a short period of time) i would be more pissed then elated. but i aint Tonfah... ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************idk why i had a feeling Tonfah's friends who were more curious the him, about who was sending him gifts would try to find out & Johan would see North & lose it - now that would've been hilarious. but none of the guys tried to follow the 1st guy that was acting as cupid -

the majority of this ep was freakin awkward - talk about cringe, the 2nd hand embarrassment i felt watching Typhoon & Tonfah trying to ignore each other - very uncomfortable, & it's ironic that Typhoon befriended people that were bf's of guys in Tonfah's group. of course wasn't shocked, otherwise no BL, not to mention this is Typhoon & Tonfah love-story - yet watching them was so uncomfortable. *********************************************************************************************************felt sorrier for Tonfah cause he isn't just clueless as to what happened, but he also blames himself for Typhoon pushing him away, as if he was some weirdo, stalker. now Typhoon is trying to again insert himself back into Tonfah's life (after pushing him away twice). **************************************************************************************************************************the back & forth is kinda annoying me, even though i get why he is like this - he doesn't want to break contact even though he was ordered too & his group of buds r encouraging him - easier to forget how scary his father is & what he can do. cause even if he has basically abandoned him, he still paid for his housing & has given him enough pocket money to eat & buy other necessities - as he doesn't look like he doesn't have money. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but there things that don't make sense, i doubt his father was verbally abusive just after his sister died, am sure this happened throughout his life, that's why he doesn't rebel cause he's been conditioned. but if he knows his father - then why give Tonfah his father's number, when asked? he knew what would happen & that call was what created this whole mess. but Typhoon has a tendency not to think things through & i get he is young, but given his circumstances one would think he would start to plan/think things through & not just go with the flow. *******************************************************************************btw he told his friends that he & Tonfah took care of each other, dude's delusional - did he ever take care of anyone? is he capable of looking after himself??? i doubt it. hard to root for someone like him, when he's just existing & not trying even to better his situation in life. he lucked out in someone as patient as Tonfah - dudes a saint. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note i am so happy that the friend group came into the picture cause Typhoon is freakin depressing, but with North, Ter & the other guys this has become so much fun. but North was always my MVP in this series - he funny, adorable & feisty - hope there is a lot of him

by the end i wanted to slap Typhoon up-side the head. yes i am sad for how his father is treating him & even though i get why he is getting blamed by everyone for his sisters death, he really isn't at fault - that was her fate, sad as it maybe. if anything the drunk driver is more at fault. but it seems like Typhoon has always been the "whipping boy" of that family & his father loves to take out his frustration in life on him. his step mother suffered him cause her daughters loved him, but once she passed her mother didn't have a reason to be in that house. so i get that Typhoon doesn't have anyone but his father & he has to do his bidding if he wants to be under his care. *********************************************************************************************but WTF was he thinking with how he decided to treat Tonfah, it was utterly selfish. 1st off he moved into a new dorm financed by Tonfah, knowing full well he had to break contact with him. then he asks him to tutor him, when he knows it will be for a few days... so why do things that make Tonfah think they gonna be in contact daily from that moment onwards... only to ghost him???? & if that wasn't enough, after making Tonfah suffer - wondering WTF went wrong, (worse) what HE did wrong, u then contact him again?!??? get him to take care of u & u ghost him again - like WTF??? that was utterly selfish. why do that to anyone u care for - heck put urself in his shoes & think how u would fell if someone did that too u. why hurt the only person that's kind to u??? ********************************************************************************************************************& yeah i know he told his father he would make Tonfah hate him, but he didn't - he made Tonfah doubt & hate himself. that's f*cked-up. so by the end i had little to no sympathy for Typhoon.

the ironic part is that Typhoon & Tonfah's story was one of the reasons i started watching & this hasn't started on a positive note - Typhoon's freakin depressing to watch, he is afraid of his own shadow, mute most of the time & it's not like he was the life of the party when his sister was alive. so why is he like this??? but how did she die & why he & his family blame him??? also he not only lying to Tonfah about his sister, he is making the lie so much worse, by using her phone to reply to his text's - even if Tonfah wouldn't get angry at the initial lie, the way the lie keeps ballooning cause if him, is making things so much worse. *******Tonfah is a good looking guy but he needs a hair cut ASAP, or is he waiting for the semester to start?!? either way he got a job on his hands - to baby site Typhoon, pity it doesn't pay a thing... lol

so the fact Jeong Yeon knew, means this ok?!? this was f*cked up & i might be the only one thinking that - but that fact is that Yu Geon wanted Jeong Yeon from the 1st time he set his sights on him. the fact Jeong Yeon was suffering, feeling misunderstood by his mother & abandoned by his father, the only way he could survive was rebelling & then Yu Geon walked into his life, a grown adult that was warm, caring, supportive yet stern & authoritative. Jeong Yeon was lacking a father figure & that's what Yu Geon became, so not shocking that Jeong Yeon developed feelings & was ready to ignore the research papers, that showed that he was used as a 'lab rat'. ******************************************************************************************Yu Geon on his part, from the word go wanted Jeong Yeon & his every word & action was grooming 101. the only reason he didn't accept Jeong Yeon's confession, was cause he was a teen - or maybe he needed for him to fall utterly & the distance & time part would make the heart grow founder... as it did. idk how i feel about this so called romance, as this kinda f*cked- up. & even though Jeong Yeon knew all along, how Yu Geon manipulated him it doesn't make it ok (them ending up together) cause when ur brain washed, knowing this fact doesn't revers the programing or undo it.

so Yang Meng had a crush on Yushi in school & Yushi had a crush on some other kid.... so?!? does that explain the eversion Yang Meng had of Yushi ?? trying to avoid him at every turn? i don't get it. even now it seems that he's attracted to him - when he got "excited" it was clear which part of him was "excited" lol. & in this ep, Yushi got excited too, but he explained it away as a natural occurrence that happens every morning. ******************************************************************************************** btw did Yushi always suffer from insomnia? was Yang Meng his "sleep drug" in high school too?!? cause he eluded to that in the 1st or 2nd ep's - it didn't seem like a conclusion he had just reached (cause he slept on Yang Meng's shoulder in the 1st ep), this so short idk if we will ever get a proper back story.***********************************************************************************regarding the 2nd couple, it's clear that the blonde haired dude was/is interested in Yushi, he might have even signed into the reality show, cause he knew Yushi would be participating, even thought this more lust then love on his part - so maybe it's a good thing he got a love interest of his own. the genius that decided to wash himself in the sea without removing his pants or socks - sitting there in wet underwear was that comfortable? for sure looked moronic - ******************************************anyway how do they know each other? do i even wanna know,.. or rather this so short - why we need a 2nd couple to take what little time there is, away from the mains?!?

this was too fluffy & smooth & was sure that until the end it wouldn't be so, now we getting a new hurdle - wonder who she is & how much chaos she gonna create. a very cute ep - Mamiya is the best type of superiors to work under, he doesn't just love his job but also the subordinate's that work under him & he will go out of his way to help them - like he did with Riku. i doubt there many people in his position that would work so hard to figure out how to help a new employee that's struggling. wish we all ended up with bosses like him. *******************************************************************************************************Toma was just being jealous, that someone else was consuming Mamiya's thoughts, cause even if he was the type that didn't like how involved Mamiya was, i am 110% sure that Riku not only appreciated how Mamiya cared, but he wanted to be glued to Mamiya's side, cause it gave him confidence. very wholesome ep

what a hell of an emotional roller coaster this drama has been, i can't believe i just started it - but it's so freakin good i just couldn't stop & i am almost at the end. ***********************************************************************************************before anything i have to say, i read a lot of comments where people be saying Pheem should notice the worthy love interest under his nose - i.e. Mawin. sorry, but they the best of friends - as close as good friends can be, but they NOT attracted to each other!!! Mawin already eluded to a ex-gf & i get that in BL-land ,that's not even a hurdle - cause love doesn't see gender yada yada yada.... but there r straight people in the world (even BL land) that aren't curious about sh*t & even in the scene they acted out; Pheem was imagining Jira, while Mawin was acting his ass off in the hopes of getting the role - u know the role where he will be portraying a character that's being seduced by a MAN!!! so knowing this fact, why would he recoil from a kiss? cause it was Pheem?!?? if anything, he should be more comfortable as that's his friend, who he trusts. really don't get BL watchers that HAVE to pair up every male character just cause they in a BL... like plz *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************now that that's off my chest, have to admit Jira has become my least favorite character, what he did to Pheem was diabolical. he keeps giving him hope, only to shoot him down & he has the audacity to tell him lets remain friends?!? with friends like him who the f*ck needs enemies?!? & i wished & shouted at my screen for Pheem to throw that painting back in Jira's face. that's another way to keep his presence live in Pheem's heart & mind, that just freakin cruel - but he doesn't care how he is hurting Pheem, he just wants his support puppy around so he can kick him some more.. that's why i was happy at the end. the only pity is that Koh wasn't (yet) looking to replace Jira the bf/sleeping aid - just Jira the artist. personally it was karmic, given what he did to Pheem. *************************************************************************************************************************regarding Koh, sadly or not he has created the life he wants to live regardless of the reasons, the past or his fears. so even if now he is enjoying the novelty Jira is offering, sooner or later he will wish to go back to his solitary lifestyle cause that allows him the quite he needs to work & think. yeah it doesn't offer him any peace of mind - but i have a feeling in the next (last) ep he is gonna cut his losses & let Jira go. cause i don't really think Koh needs anyone to survive. he had no problem to cut Pheem (a childhood friend) out of his life, like it was nothing, without a backward glace. what's so special about Jira?!? in Koh's eye's humans r useful tools until they r not - to him computers r special! so to me, the next ep is a foregone conclusion. had a feeling this wont be a "happily ever after" type BL, but i am loving it all the same, the realism is beautiful in it's ugliness - as humans r perfect in their imperfections

the pic Jira drew of Pheem is f*cking ironic. the more i watch this BL, i realize Jira & Koh r two sides of the same coin. if anything, i am starting to think Jira is the more dangerous character here & he is gonna destroy not just Pheem, but Koh too & as u can't destroy something without backlash... Jira is gonna be the architect of his own misery / downfall. *********************given all the hurting souls, idk why the only end i can see is a depressing one, usually when u got so many "injured" souls, u want to see a happy ending for them all. but there is this subtle feeling of things not just getting more complicated, but also going down hill. for now that happening clearly with Pheem, cause of Jira's lies. but given the fact Koh is opening up & starting to rely on Jira, i have a feeling Jira (who is more attracted to the mean, sadistic type) will grow bored of being Koh's emotion crutch & sleeping aid. & if someone richer comes along, who can offer Jira better pay, he wouldn't think twice, before ditching Koh or anyone - even though he does have feelings for Koh. yet i have a feeling he can't help himself. ****************************the whole interaction between Pheem & Mawin was so wholesome & fun, at least he got someone good in his life. now only if he listened to him & let Jira go. but poor Pheem needs to be crushed to dust before he regroups & moves on. hope he will move on...

ironically both Pheem & Jira r lying to themselves, Pheem knows that Jira is playing him, but he is so in-love he wont quit & even though i think both Mawin & Ing have given bad advise in the past, this time they were on point (at least in the smash room in Mawin's case) & the best thing Pheem can do for his own mental health - is distance himself from Jira, as he KNOWS (gut feeling) Jira is as hooked on Koh as Pheem is hooked on Jira. so he knows that even if Jira's not ready to admit this fact(!) he will never be with Pheem. if anything he will keep him on a leash, leading him on, never to "deliver". & as Pheem just cut ties with one manipulatively, toxic person (Koh) wish he did the same with Jira - who might be different, but really is the same. ****************************************************************************************************************************************in Jira's case, either he is lying to himself or he is just plain lying (as i mentioned already) to him Pheem is a life line, the only "normal" in a crazy/insane situation = Koh, that's all consuming.... Pheem is a raft in a stormy sea, that he just needs to know is there, so he can reach out & touch to center himself, for an ego boost, but he is hell bent on drowning - so he will never really hold on to him. ************************************************************************************************************************ also even if he isn't aware of this fact, he is actively flirting with Koh, like an addict; as long as they r staying away from temptation they r fine, but the sec there is a hint, a mention of the drug of their choice, they can't help themselves - fight it as they may & lets face facts, Jira not really putting up much of a fight. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Koh on the other hand idk what i feel about this character, he's like a snake or a wild animal - u might think he is ruthless, even cruel, but he hasn't presented himself as anything but what & who he is from the start - yeah he uses gaslighting & manipulation to get under people's skin - but that's like a snake using it's fangs.. he never lied, so i can't hate nor love him. he is doing whatever... to survive & he needs Jira to sleep, to sooth his soul with his art, with his presence... can i fault him for doing what he does best? & if he is selfish, isn't Jira the same?!?

i am blown away with the acting & the plot... this is hella twisted, but so well done i am impressed - poor Pheem, Jira on the other hand i don't pity much. yeah i get that his main reason for not following Pheem, was the money & when u r poor, u can't just up a leave a well paying job - heck u will put up with so much, just to keep it cause u know that it's not easy to find work, let alone a well paying position. *********************************************************************************************************but the reason i don't feel that bad for Jira is cause he is using Pheem, he is keeping him "hanging" cause Pheem has become a life line that is there to save him, if he gets too deep & starts drowning cause of Koh. he has had ample opportunities to be with Pheem, but he always back out at the last moment & it's cause, after being around Kho he knows deep down that he isn't as attracted to Pheem. & the worse part, he doesn't care that he is hurting Pheem, he might say sorry but if he really meant it, he would stop! & after the way Koh played them both - he might as well have slapped the pair, seeing the hurt in Pheem's face, yet Jira chose to let him leave alone. hard to feel bad for him, as am sure Pheem was hurting more getting betrayed by Kho & Jira. ****************************************************************************************************************************************on Koh's part, i get that after who knows how long of living is solitude, letting Jira into his safehouse (even if he didn't want to), he has started to develop feelings. hard not to, when Jira isn't just a novelty & a distraction, he is also a side effectless sleeping aid & his art is the cherry on top - seeing himself in a new light or through Jira's eyes touched a part of him that he thought he had long locked away or lost. *********************************************************************************************************but i doubt he is capable of loving - he is too messed-up & uninterested in humans to really allow himself to give of himself totally to another, he also doesn't trust anyone - so idk what he wants or can offer to another - will have to wait & see -

guess Jira's muse is Koh & that's why he couldn't draw Pheem... but Pheem really needs to stop being so considerate, if he is a "bad guy" like Mawin keeps saying - wish he would show us & more importantly Jira, this bad guy persona, as that will keep Jira's attention squarely on him. as much as Jira & Koh butt heads, Jira can't help but be attracted & drawn (literally & figuratively) to Koh. & i have a feeling that they wont end up in bed together, something will stop them & Pheem will forever miss his chance, which could effect him mentally - as he has already developed feelings for Jira. ********************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************it feels like both Koh & Jira r slowly getting addicted to each other - for different reasons. does this mean love? idk - doubt it, but they do click. but between them, just being each others drug to being in a relationship - feels like there is vast chasm, which i doubt either can be bridged...
