Mamiya is freakin adorable, really hard not to fall in-love with him, so i really hope the new guy doesn't develop a crush. even though wouldn't blame him, but i am kinda over this trope. & we already had this cliché in the 1st season, with Atsushi trying to get Sahashi jealous.

both the bottoms kinda annoyed me in this ep - took me freakin ages to sit through this, cause of their antics. but will admit i get Phat's POV, even if Bay wasn't a player, Phat having lived with his sister & mother witnessing 1st hand how men played both & how it turned them bitter & reclusive, logical that he would be very weary of getting into a relationship with a saint, let alone a player like Bay. who could change his mind in a sec & break Phat's heart irrevocably... so i got him. *********************** but with Junji, it felt like he was enjoying 2 guys fight over him. even if he knew he would never give Art a 2nd chance, for him it was a great ego massage that both Art & Hill were fighting & working so hard over him. that's why he waited until the end of the ep to go to Hill. & then too he waited for Hill to say his peace, apologize & then confess. **************************************while the whole while i was thinking that Hill deserved better & with all due respect to the fact that Yuka is based on Junji, she isn't him - a simulation game character was the one that was doing the job they were programed to do; supporting, encouraging & helping Hill - not Junji. so what if Yuka was based on Junji's personality? she was a combination of all the people working in Junji's company & on her simulation game - so going along those lines he should've fallen for & confessed to everyone in that company!

very fluffy ep - finally they communicated & made-up. am so happy for them. but i loved the fact that Jeong U reached out to Yuchan & thanked him for taking care of Han Gyeol & letting the cat out of the bag. cause of him the misunderstanding was cleared up & am happy that at last they got to go on the trip they planed yrs ago. this was really sweet

what a "great" way to portray women - they so fickle, a little sweet talking & they putty in a mans hands?!? is that what we needed to see with Phat's mother & sister?? really??? & i for sure didn't see the 2nd couple not just kissing, but going all the way before the 1st couple even became a couple... interesting - *************************************************************************in the previous ep i was wondering how the whole mission based relationship would fare in real life & we got the predictable outcome, the co-workers cared about gossip & the job getting done. the sec they achieved the main goal, the humans that were Hill & Junji, their feelings were disregarded. ironic that Hill was the one that felt guilty - when he was the last one at fault for the mess, that became of his 1st love (the pig girl was a teen crush, not a 1st love) & Yuka doesn't count IMO (am sure there someone who would disagree - but it is what it is). **********************************************************************************& if the set back to reality landing on their budding romance & squashing the life out of it wasn't enough - where they were back at step one & had to do all the hard work all over again. we got the addition of Fart sorry Art, he wanted to find himself the 1st time he was with Junji & that's why they broke-up, but now he is back only to recall he really wants Junji. ***************Junji's passiveness isnt helping the situation, 1st off he had no reason to recruit Art, not when he had other options & 2 he is cold & standoffish, not scared to be rude - but when it comes to Art, putting him in his place- tough?!? making it clear he's there for a job & nothing more, too much to ask??? especially when he is interested in Hill. so why? wanting to make Hill jealous?!?

even though i aint interested in Phat or Bay's romance, i don't get his mother & sister, if they had bad luck in relationship & have decided to stay single - cool their prerogative . BUT that doesn't give either the right to stop or gaslight Phat into staying single, just cause they supposedly care for him & don't want him to suffer a similar fate. he isn't a child, he's a grown ass adult that is mature enough to know what is right & wrong, let alone how he wasn't to live his life & with whom. if he too decided that he wants to be single after dating or cause he's A-sexual, then that's cool - bottom line it's his choice. family doesn't have the right to dictate other family members lives, no matter how well meaning they r. **************************************************& i have to say i don't buy Bay's 180, so he was a player when it came to women ,cause he was really interested in men?!??? really? if anything the sec after he slept with the women he lost interest, that means once the chase was over he was over the woman - why should Phat be different? cause he is a man or cause he is a main?!?? like plz with this writing. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************felt really bad for Hill in this ep, poor guy got PTSD from that confession, now he's reliving that trauma all over again & Junji not really helping, he a passive bystander & give the fact he was wearing the heat monitor he know what Hill's next mission is & is enjoying Hills discomfort. or so it comes off to me. ********************************************************************************btw am wondering who is paying for the date? Hill aint got money & that roof top restaurant aint cheap. so if the company is footing the bill & his confession is a mission - get existed & rooting for a fake relationship feels weird. also how far they gonna take it with these missions? what's gonna be his next one to kiss? f*ck??? & will all that be documented & fan-girled over by the people in the office??? this so freakin weird if u think about what is going on. ******************************************************& i now that both Hill & Junji have caught feelings, but their motivation until now has all be a mission to create a new game & simulation character. idk how i feel about this

as much as i am enjoying the mains back & forth, i kinda don't like how everyone keeps testing Hill cause Junji is so guarded (cause of past heartache) like i thought Hill's praising Junji, calling him perfect was ridiculous - cause no ones perfect, for sure NOT Junji. & there is this vibe as if Junji is slumming, when he is "looking" Hill's way, as if Hill is beneath him. maybe it's in my head, but until now everyone (including Junji) making Hill work hard at wooing Junji, all under the pretext of the simulation game tasks. not to mention they r monitoring his interactions with Yuka - like WTF. how this ok?!?? i get that "Boss" being the bottom, so of course the "top" gotta work for that booty - but come on, this plain weird. ******************************************especially when Hill is this innocent, nerdy, virgin that can't hurt a fly & i am sure Junji's not only the one with more experience, but given his position in the company - being the Boss! - the power dynamic is off & it feels kinda icky. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************& if this wasn't enough, we have the 2nd couple - OMG but i knew i would get a rash watching Fluke (Phat) put on the usual act of acting cute & playing hard to get, while acting docile around strangers & b*tchy towards the one that comes to his rescue - why, cause he's Q-bee & anyone wanting him, needs to be demeaned for that 'honey' ---- & i know it isn't the actor, but almost all his roles r along the same lines... the only thing missing is for him to break down in tears, cause he so freakin fragile ugh

i don't how a womanizer suddenly has no problem switching to a man, but lets ignore the logic - unless the writers r telling us Bay been with so many woman he is over it & wants something new... anyway i don't get "Boss" telling Bay to flirt with his bff without giving his bff the heads-up. also it mean's the "Boss" knows that Hill is flirting with him cause of the job - so how this a romance? when does work stop & real life begin?!? the logic is kinda out there - but i guess that's BL world for u.

another fluffy ep - like that even though it's very lighthearted there moments where real issues r dealt with - like Hill's past trauma almost popping up when Bay wanted him to dance. it was a serious issue & yet the way it was dealt with turned it comical. *******************************************************************************************************************************Junji hot & cold cat is making me second guess if he has already developed an interest in Hill, sometimes i am sure, then others i aint anymore.. but find it kinda hilarious that Hill's job & co-workers r basically helping him woo Junji.

this is light & airy, on a whole very fun & am really enjoying myself with the antic's of all the character's involved. also appreciate that even though "Boss" = Junji is a tsundere he isn't the typical archetype Japanese character - he is mellow or toned down in comparison, what makes him likeable - as i totally dislike the typical tsundere who is mean just cause... here he is distant cause of his position & cause usually people take time to open up to new acquaintances, unless ur an extrovert. so am really enjoying this.

that ending was freakin hilarious - OMG what a threat lol... i can't stop laughing at how ridiculous that was. but cute ep on a whole, didn't have high expectation's but am glad i chose to give this a try. wasn't as cringe as i thought it would be, not that i got the whole falling in-love with a female character from a romance simulation game, but being online we all get addicted to something or the other. just the fact he wasn't embarrassed & happily declaring it to the world, was the part that was weird to me. ***********************************************************************************************************************************& going in i wasn't sure about the looks of the mains, but by the end both grew on me & just to make it clear upfront, i aint a fan of Fluke, as in almost every BL of his that i watched, he this fragile tearful heart broken character & that got tiresome fast. he was another reason i wasn't sure if i should give this a try. but enjoyed this ep & hoping this keeps the momentum up.

interesting 1st ep - didn't know how to read Ha Yu Geon's his behavior around the mother & then the flip at the end, makes u wonder who he really is. as he is the stoic, cold guy at the office i think that is really who he is, but then why show an interest in Jeong Yeon? attraction? seeing his younger-troubled-self in him? time will tell..****************************************************what's for sure, the Jeong Yeon that joins the research lab is totally smitten, it's not the joy or meeting someone platonic after a few yrs. the shyness in the smile, makes me wonder (a bit uneasily i have to admit) other then tutoring Jeong Yeon, what else did Yu Geon teach him?!??

seriously?!? WTF... OMG idk what to say, but idk what i was expecting this was hella short & until now i've been guessing more then actually getting the full picture, so i shouldn't be shocked & yet i am. *********************************************************so the mother took herself out, so the pervy Uncle won't have anything to hold over GuangLi , who in tern finds out his mother is gone & that "freedom" is used to try & get to the truth, about how much the Uncle was involved in his parents death & illness... *******************************************************************************************************************************not getting any answers pushed him over the edge? & he killed his Uncle?? but Master Lin shows-up before the cops to save the day & they live happily ever after??? lol this was ridiculous, but a fun guessing game. ******************************************there isn't enough to this to even call it a short BL, u blinked & the ep was over, still this a fun one off

this was so good - it was a perfect ending, very bitter sweet cause ima miss the boy's. i liked how everything was wrapped up - & i think the writers had a personal grudge against Jeed, where they brought her in only enough to see why she's a detested character & she got here, what her character deserved in the OG BL. kinda funny - ***********************************************am happy that Aim finally had a heart to heart with Yuri & even though she told Noh she got angry cause she thought he & Pun cheated on Aim. we all know the real reason was cause she felt like he cheated on her, that hurt more. but i guess she realized she was wrong after her convo with Aim, but what woke her up was Jeed's disgusting words. she realized that she was being the bad-guy & Noh never betrayed or lied to her. so i am glad she not only defended him, but came to apologize & they made up.*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************i love a lot of character's here - they were a joy to watch, but Earn is the MVP for me & i am happy that we got a hint of something at the end - yet it felt like a rerun of what we already saw & yet nothing came of Pete's mild flirting before.... so i hope there is a spin off for quite a few side romances, that didn't get enough time to develop. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this was better then the OG if u ask me (& i liked the OG) for 1 this wasn't toxic & i think there was more grace given to a lot of the character's plotline & even if there were conflict's, it was dealt in a healthy way. like i've mentioned i liked a load of the character & side character, even ones that didn't have a huge role - it was literally like watching teens in their day to day life, the romantic aspect was an added bonus. this for sure a rewatch. btw i didn't mind that there weren't any kisses, i think we all so jaded & used to hearing, seeing teens act like adults that when we finally see teens being just that; innocent, immature, inexperienced teens it's weird to some, IMO this was just right! ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: for newbies & such young ones at that, this was well acted & even if there were moments where it wasn't perfect, given their age it's understandable, let alone ignorable... i hope to see everyone in more BL's & drama's in the future!!!

we almost at the end & so much is happening, idk how this gonna end & if i will want it too... as is i have been smiling & laughing so much throughout this BL. i was the one that mentioned how i found it absurd the amount of side character that were getting introduced, but i have come to love a majority of them - especially if they the guys in Noh's band. but i still think there were too many sub plots & a lot didn't get developed... like Earn - was wondering where he'd disappeared too & finally i see his lovely face, only for him to get his heart broken all over again. i wish something had developed in the mean time between him & Pete (even if we didn't see) just so we see him happy in a new relationship - alas "they" left the poor guy heart-broken & all alone ugh. ***********************************************************************************************************************************& if one heartache wasn't enough poor Win was being shipped off to England, as if there no boys there? ok - the father is a moron if he thinks the problem is Per, but i guess he gotta learn the hard way & the main plus is that his son would be under him thumb to terrorize. **************************************************************************************************************Pun's family turned out to be a loving warm one & i am so happy that when he finally decided to talk to them, they were encouraging & patient, giving him time to confide in them. & was right that the parents knew that he was dating Noh, still think they should've found a better way to convey this fact - then try to brow beat the info out of him. *********************************btw mentioning the mains, i didn't get why Pun was so butthurt witnessing the conversation between Noh & earn. if i was Pun i would be happy that i found such a loyal & good bf, that is kind enough to let someone down without insulting or crushing their heart & yet making it very clear, that they will never stand a chance. so i didn't get his behavior - Noh was right, he was acting like a 'drama queen'. ******************************************************************************************************************btw i was so shocked when Mick basically asked Ohm if he would ever be more important then Noh, basically saying that Ohm had feelings for Noh. until now i always assumed that other then bff's the reason Ohm stood-up Mick was cause Noh was hurting. & as a good friend u should help someone in pain. but i guessed wrong & he really also has a thing for Noh?!? i am shocked how many people have a crush on Noh. not that i blame them he is a very good friend.

i am glad Win was safe & Not was helping him, but am happier that he stood-up to his father. yeah i know that doesn't mean anything with that abusive narcissist gonna change - but he finally stood up to him. & just sitting mute while his sister & father blamed, gaslighted & tried to scare/manipulate Per into keeping his distance, wasn't gonna work or help either of them. so yes, he has a tough road ahead, but at least he is fighting for what he wants - to live his life as he see's fit!. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************** the whole situation with Pun & Noh is complex cause Noh aint into confrontations & even communication, if it aint something light he's not really capable of knowing what to say - he just does it when he has too. this time, the fact he has to keep his relationship a secret from Pun's mother is bothering him & he wants to talk to Pun, but he doesn't know how to approach the subject - so they act like nothing is going on & go about their day like nothing is happening. idk how long this gonna go on, before something bursts. ************************************************************************************************************side note: idk why i was sure Pun's mother knew that her son & Noh were dating, same with the father - i assumed that he was angry that his son didn't come tell him & he had to find out from others. but then i guess that was about Aim & yet afterwards from what he said, i assumed he was talking about doing a background check on Noh's family, as now Pun was dating Noh. guess i got it wrong
