Tae Young is the MVP of this BL, i love him. but dude got his head in the clouds most of the time - which while adorable is also his achilles heel, he's too trusting & kind for his own good. he just floating about thinking everything will just slide into place & he couldn't see that Woo Joo couldn't be trusted. *********************************************************************************** here Jung Hyun doing everything to destroy Jung Woo chances at writing - even disclosing the main secret he was blackmailing Jung Woo with, that he was the real person behind all of Jung Hyun's best sellers. as if it was Jung Woo dirty secret & not Jung Hyun's. but he's such a master manipulator he was using that fact to brow beat Jung Woo into submission, as if he was forced into letting Jung Woo write - cause. *******************************************************************************this whole ep i was on the edge of my seat wondering who is gonna cave & betray Jung Woo & Tae Young. Woo Joo fell fast, while with Yeong Seon it was touch & go, by the end idk where she stands. i am thankful she told Tae Young about the ghost writing, but i wish she told Jung Woo that Jung Hyun was doing everything within his power to stop Jung Woo from writing / getting published again. yeah Jung Woo figured it out cause of Woo Joo, but he doesn't know to what lengths is Jung Hyun going through. i hope by the end we do get a happy ending, as i fear Jung Hyun could get to Tae Young & manipulate him into thinking him letting Jung Woo go is for his best. & Tae Young loves Jung Woo too much to think straight where he is concerned. hope i am wrong

the fact that Jung Hyun would do everything & anything to get Jung Woo back under his thumb, submissive & broken isn't surprising. but the fact his targets might waver & agree to f*ck over both Jung Woo & Tae Young is the more distressing part. Jung Woo is still so grateful towards Jung Hyun, he considers him his savior (in spite of how he belittles him) little does he know... idk what the f*ck this industry got against Jung Woo, that they hell bent on destroying him & the fact he doesn't have any means to put a stop to them, is infuriating. as that is also allowing Jung Hyun to abuse his desperation & isolation. **********i can just hope, that all of Jung Hyun scheming will blow-up in his face & everyone will find out that all the best sellers he has published were written by Jung Woo - the one everyone looking down on & belittling his talent. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************i am so thankful Jung Woo got someone like Tae Young by his side, he so supportive, positive, warm & loving. he keeps encouraging & uplifting Jung Woo, something he desperately needs after yrs of Jung Hyun's brain washing & demoralization.

even watching the preview i freakin knew Woo Joo was the blabber mouth that told Jung Hyun where Jung Woo was at, Tae Young too should've know better then the tell Woo Joo - but i guess he doesn't get the messed-up dynamic between Jung Woo & Jung Hyun. *************************************************************************************************************************but i was freakin elated that finally Jung Woo has started to stand up for himself & isn't letting Jung Hyun's manipulation & gaslighting get to him or deter him from his objective. i was so worried he would break & give in to him, now hope that in his sick state, he doesn't cave cause he knows that Jung Hyun isn't good for him & is using his insecurities & the blacklisting to keep him locked in his house, using him like his slave ghost writer. *****************************************************************now that Jung Woo has finally woken up i need for him to not cave & go back to his old ways. thankfully he's got Tae Young rooting for him at every turn - which is doing wonders for his ego & thankfully Yeong Seon is another supporter, that is ready to help him achieve his goals & not cave to Jung Hyun or anyone in that industry, that might come for her cause she is helping Jung Woo. ****************************************************************************************************************************also love Ju Yeon, another strong woman that is supporting Jung Woo, but i have a feeling she has/had a crush on Jung Hyun. & that is her problem - that he only has eyes for him. but given how possessive he is of Jung Woo, isn't that a warning sign? a red fag u would avoid or thank ur stars never zeroed in on u?!? *********************************************************************side note: that professor that keeps calling Jung Hyun to scheme against Jung Woo - is he in on the fact that Jung Woo is Jung Hyun's ghost writer & he was planning of using for himself & now that he wants to write - is that what he mean & why he is panicked?!?

guess will have to rejoice in the fact that for now Jung Woo not only got mad but is avoiding Jung Hyun. sadly Jung Hyun got his hooks in too deep for Jung Woo to just move on with his life - i wish that were the case cause Jung Hyun is just bad for Jung Woo, ironic that Ju Yeon could see it & even told Jung Hyun he a sociopathic f*cker. not that he cares, he just want Jung Woo in the cage he has created for him, the fact neither of them r happy doesn't matter. **************************************************so i am happy Tae Young was there at the right time to offer Jung Woo a line of hope, cause of him Jung Woo reached out to Yeong Seon & even started writing. Tae Young is good for Jung Woo ego & mental health. i hope he help revive what little is left of his self-worth so he can fight for himself & not let Jung Hyun manipulate or gaslight him any more!

OMG i haven't been this infuriated in a while - every time Kim Jung Hyun opens his mouth i wanna bash his head in. the gaslighting - the way he has broken Jung Woo is making me see red, the way he verbally abuses him is driving me crazy & the fact Jung Woo is turned into this meek, self doubting subhuman is distressing to watch. i feel so so so bad & sad for Jung Woo. he believed Jung Hyun was the only one he could rely on & Jung Hyun took that trust & has turned Jung Woo into an empty shell of a human. every time Jung Woo asked for his opinion it was like an arrow to the heart. Jung Woo is so pathetic it's hurting my soul, to watch him almost grovel & every time Jung Hyun feels Jung Woo might get out of line he threatens to end things with him & as he has turned himself into Jung Woo's north star, he knows that Jung Woo will feel like he is lost at sea without an anchor. so i need him to get far away from Jung Hyun ASAP & lets hope the little i saw from the preview means that it's gonna happen sooner rather then later. ******************************************************************************************cause if i understood right, Jung Hyun hasn't just broken Jung Woo for sh*ts & giggle's, but he has turned Jung Woo into his ghost writer - like WTF!!! omg !!! that's why he lost it when Tae Young suggested they co write a book. cause he knows then his lie will come to light, as i doubt he can still write - guess being an evil MOFO gave him writers block.******************************if i aint wrong Tae Young said that Jung Woo's book saved him not just make his surrender - ironic as he is the catalyst that is gonna save Jung Woo from himself & Jung Hyun. or so i hope!

wish i could say i loved this - this started off strong, but fell flat. given Minato's personality & hang-up's i guess unless he did a 180 by the end, showing some growth i wouldn't really be that happy.... & he didn't change - if anything in this ep he told Shizuma that he "fell" for him cause of how he talked about his ex gf (that cheated on him). to anyone it would sound like he "fell" cause Shizuma was so unlike his mother, to me it came off as Shizuma is someone who would be easy to "handle".****************************************************************************************************************************************at the end when Minato says "...if u cheat i will kill & eat u..." i believe that. while Shizuma's threat had no teeth, as he has already proved he will grovel, plead & apologize - trying to understand & forgive Minato whether it's justified or not, even before he tried to open his mouth, he is forgiven. so i aint happy with this end, as to me Minato lucked out but Shizuma has gotten the raw end of the deal. *******************************************************************************************************the bummer is that this has been the case with quite a few J-BL's recently, they start off great but slowly they like a balloon slowly getting deflated & a "sex" scene & a few tepid kisses can't revive this corpse.

sh*t - from where to start. i said i didn't like Jung Hyun & my dislike has just increased. i knew the dude was shady. it was touch & go at the start what with him trying to help Jung Woo publish his book with a new publisher. but the more this ep progressed the more it seemed like Jung Woo is like a bird in a cage & Jung Hyun has put him in that gilded cage, his words while on the surface might seem supportive r really restrictive & demoralizing. they r meant to clip Jung Woo's wings, never allowing him to venture too far, never allowing him to spread his wings. & he has broken Jung Woo to such a degree, that it felt like his every move he reports to Jung Hyun, asking his advise as to how & what he should do. & if for a sec he mentions wanting to spread his wings - Jung Hyun verbally punishes him. his abandoning him, saying he wouldn't drive him back was a reminder to Jung Woo that he was all alone & only Jung Hyun existed & if he too abandoned him, Jung Woo would be all alone. watching this diabolical gaslighting made my skin crawl - ******************************************************************************************Jung Woo wants to write & he wants to grab onto the life line Tae Young is offering - but he is too insecure & terrified it will amount to nothing cause Jung Hyun has helped squash his self-worth & fighting spirit. this so freakin sad. so he will reject Tae Young - even though he really doesn't want too.************************************************************************************* aish i wasn't prepared for this BL to be this "heavy" i get Jung Woo impotency, but i want him to get his fighting spirit back for himself & also for Tae Young - kinda had it watching Jung Hyun walk around dictating sh*t like he some king. i can't wait for the moment Jung Woo cuts the umbilical cord & tells Jung Hyun to f*ck off - ok he wont say that. but one can dream ugh

interesting 1st ep - reading the description one would assume Kim Jung Hyun is a good guy, i don't like him & i have a bad feeling that he has something to do with Jung Woo getting black listed, or he has something to do with trying to keep him from going back to writing... he gives me a bad vibe - the fact he is interested in Jung Woo is obvious. what i didn't get, r they a couple? or is Jung Woo close to Jung Hyun cause he's the only senior/person among the writers group, that is supporting him?!? either way Jung Hyun turning Tae Young down in Jung Woo's stead pissed me off - even if they were a couple or Jung Woo was his child, that wouldn't be ok. Jung Woo has the right to know & decide on his own. like WTF. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Tae Young on the other hand, the more i saw of him (unlike Jung Hyun) the more i liked him. i love that he is always smiling, he's such a sweet & bubbly character. am sure he isn't leading an easy life, yet he choses to smile & project positivity. i don't even know Jung Woo's personality, but if he's the MC (which i wonder, as to me the one that shone in this ep was Tae Young) then he should end up with a good-guy, like Tae Young.

cute ending & all but very unrealistic. the way Han Tae I's older brother's relationship with Se Heon's brother was resolved - where it didn't matter to Han Tae I, yeah i guess u can chalk it up to how important Se Heon had become to him & yet given how hard it was for him to come to terms with what happened to his brother - or rather why his brother did what he did. now that he might have found out one of the reasons that pushed his brother over the edge. is brushed off as nothing cause Se Heon?!? or cause this the last ep so we needed to wrap up thing ASAP?!? same with how Han Tae I & Se Heon accepted Song Ju Ha into their group cause he needed to be redeemed - leaving it open that he & Do Yun could have future. **********************but given all the baggage each character's carried to me this rushed solving of problem was a bit of a let down & that is the minus in short BL's especially if they r not though through. but wont say i hated this, it wasn't perfect but it was enjoyable & i might even rewatch this if i was looking for a quick fix. ******************************************************************************the mains had chemistry & on a whole this was a very cute ending.

of course Do Yun forgave Song Ju Ha the 1st moment he did a half step towards him. the fact he still blamed him & was angry at him for making him develop feelings isn't a glaring red, warning sign Do Yun that he should keep away. heck even though now Song Ju Ha has turned him into a dirty little secret, Do Yun is over the moon - cause when they all alone he can be affectionate towards Song Ju Ha, the fact it's a one way street even then - doesn't matter. this will end in nothing but heartache for Do Yun, but love turns the best, stupid & blind - so it is what it is.. *************************************************** & not enough i was right about the 2nd couple was right about the main too - of course Han Tae I was running scared. this trope where cause they afraid to face their feelings so they hurt the one that had the guts to offer up their heart even if it got stomped on - is so over done & tiresome. so Han Tae I insulted & assault Se Heon, but everything was forgotten cause the day after he apologized & confessed?? i guess - hey as long as they happy what can i say - yeah this b.s. & i for sure wouldn't rush to forgive or forget - heck i doubt i would trust Han Tae I after he attacked Se Heon, trying to demean him. but i aint the writer. ***the fact that the brothers of the mains were together & might have had something is a weird twist. i hope Se Heon's older brother wasn't the cause of Han Tae I's older brother ending his life - that would be brutal... now that they finally r happy together.

knew it the sec i wrote how happy i was that Song Ju Ha had disappeared - oh well it is what it is, dude needs his head checked, WTF is his problem. he just keeps looking for someone not only to blame but to vent his frustration's on. 1st it was Do Yun, now Se Heon. that's why i kinda cheered when those 3 bullies beat his ass. pity they didn't do more damage - cause he was back to his usual bullying self the next day. blaming Se Heon - like f*ck off will u. ***********************************************************the fact Do Yun got the message & took a step back was a rejoice worthy moment - alas it will amount to nothing the sec Song Ju Ha decides he wants Do Yun, cause that's how it's written - Do Yun deserves better. *******************************************am glad Se Heon & Han Tae I r on better footing - oh i got it wrong & they didn't kiss under the umbrella, but the kiss that didn't happen in the previous ep took place here. now here's hoping Han Tae I will react better then Song Ju Ha.

i am kinda thankful that Song Ju Ha has disappeared, his sister coming to supposedly apologize to Do Yun came off half-assed. it seemed more like she was covering bases, making sure that when Han Tae I finds out, he wouldn't hold her accountable & know she apologized. ****************************************************************************************************************seeing Do Yun & Se Heon together i really feel like their pairing would've been really sweet. yeah Se Heon & Han Tae I got chemistry & that kiss under the umbrella was butterfly inducing, but idk Han Tae I still too standoffish for me & by now i don't get why he still keeps pushing Se Heon away. guess that's gonna change now that Se Heon is seeking refuge at his place, the "father" calms down.

so let me get this straight, Do Yun likes Song Ju Ha cause he saved him (once) from some bullies & then cause Song Ju Ha was angry at Han Tae I, he used Do Yun as his substitute, cause he couldn't hurt Han Tae I, as his sister might see & get angry at him?? & Do Yun quietly allowed himself to be abused - cause he fell for Song Ju Ha, cause he saved him that one time - am i getting this right?!? seriously?!???? idk who is more f*cked up - but this a messed-up plot. *****************************************i might have not liked how Han Tae I kept targeting Se Heon, but there is a logic behind that whole interaction, which with time & a bit of communication they r finding way to make peace. but the 2nd couple r just messed-up & both need to seek help. maybe they should ask Han Tae I for his therapists number.

the most hated trope of the moronic FL (Uke in this case) not being able to stand-up for themselves, walking around like a clueless moron, letting bad people manhandle, verbally & physically abuse them & only being able to stand-up to their ML, when it isn't even called for. **********************************************************************************************************Se Heon is a weird character, when u least except it & ironically when it aint even called for, he stand-up for himself, otherwise he like this insensible Imbecile, walking around unaware even after being warned not by one but 2 guys. & sorry but i wouldn't even need a warning, considering there is something really off about Song Ju Ha's behavior, from the 1st moment he met Se Heon. is it normal to get so close to someone u hardly know, regardless of their gender? & Song Ju Ha is too handsy for it to come off as friendly or platonic, but Se Heon ok with it? like how naïve u gotta be?!? how desperate & blind u need to be, to be this oblivious to what is staring u in the face - i.e that Song Ju Ha is a flashing red danger sign?!? **********************************& i am sorry, but i don't get why Se Heon question to Han Tae I is "...tell me why it bothers u...." why should it matter to him?!? that's a weird way to frame a question, it would be more logical for Se Heon to just state that, that piano or class room wasn't Han Tae I alone & Se Heon had every right to use said piano, when he wanted. if it bothered Han Tae I he could stay away. but asking him to give u a reason is weird, given u r strangers - thus don't really owe each other a thing. ****************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************also given Song Ju Ha bully like attitude towards Do Yun & Do Yun warning Se Heon to stay away from Song Ju Ha, let alone Song Ju Ha threatening to renew his beating i don't get Do Yun wanting to get close to him, let alone kiss him - why would u want to get into any type of relationship with someone this volatile?!? i get we talking angsty teenager's but OMG both couple r a toxic headache

WTF was going on at the end... as is i don't like Song Ju Ha - what is his deal, why he mean to Do Yun?!? & now he is targeting Se Heon??? is he a predator?!??? he's coming off bad. the fact he antagonistic towards Han Tae I is also stupid, cause his sister has a crush on Han Tae I, as if that was his fault - he isn't even encouraging her. so he is damned if he does & damned if he doesn't - basically Song Ju Ha the main bad-guy, that return to school from suspension (am guessing) & now is back to his old bullying ways. **********************************************************************************************************************************the way things r progressing, i wish Se Heon & Do Yun were a thing - yeah it might be a less volatile romance, but is that such a bad thing?!? idk, what i know is that i am tired of watching Han Tae I manhandle Se Heon & Se Heon be this accommodating, understanding Uke - like stand up for urself. little winder now he is getting targeted by Song Ju Ha, bullies r great at finding weak individual's. guess this gonna be a toxic BL ugh
