one last ep to go.... from the start the acting has been phenomenal & given one of the mains is a newbie, wow - hats off to them both & the director. not that the writer didn't bring their A game. this has been so freakin good & it just keeps getting better.such am emotionally loaded ep, u can see Shu Lang's inner struggle, how much he still loves Fan Xiao, but after everything he has done, it aint easy to forgive & welcome him back. Shu Lang now has to think about his son, not just himself & he can't take a risk. so as much as his heart wants Fan Xiao, his head wont let him forget or forgive. this was beautifully acted. really C-BL's r shoulder to shoulder with the best in this genre. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Xue Bao Tian is such a goof ball, i wish we had his "love" story as a side (as i really like his character, he lowkey a MVP to me), but as this so short - given all the content with the mains, i am glad they didn't add a side story, as it would be a disservice to one plotline or the other (like it was with Gao Tu & Shen Wen Lang plot in ABO Desire where i felt robbed as there was almost nothing of them). ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************idk how this whole saga will get concluded, as even though they really loves each other i donno if they can be together - as i have said in the past, it is really hard to trust someone that has lied from the start - there was no foundation ever. so logically no matter how much a heart waivers, the head, the logical part of u will remind u 'never again' & what i love about Shu Lang is how realistically this character is written. so i could guess what awaits us next Saturday - but i will wait & see...

Fan Xiao's monolog at the start was a pity party for one, everything was me me me.... so i rejoiced when Shu Lang didn't soften. why should he?!? so what if Fan Xiao had trust issues, how is Shu Lang or anyone good to blame? what, cause a person is good that means they lead an easy life?!? there r people that smile & laugh & r in the world of pain. what everyone needs to walk around bleedin & in misery, displaying their pain for the world to see?? as i always say, just cause ur hurt Doesn't justify u hurting others!!! *********************************************************************************************************************Fan Xiao is a selfish ass hat, in the previous ep i felt sad for him, but now i don't - cause the sec Shu Lang started speaking he shut him out, cause he only cares to hear, what he wants to hear & as long as Shu Lang's not accepting his "apology" & ready to start over, he has no interest to really listening to what he has to say. this NOT boding well - idk how this love story is gonna get back on track, for me to root for it or Fan Xiao, as of now he unworthy of Shu Lang period. ****************************************side note: anyone adopting a child & then tossing them aside like so much garbage, cause they finally got pregnant, deserve to be thrown into prison, both "mother" & "father" heck a hefty fine would also be grand - anything & everything that would serve as a warning, for others not to act like heartless degenerates. who f*ckin does that to a child?!????? just disgusting!

the sec we met the sick head of the house, Ai Soon - i had a feeling he was the one behind the deaths/murderers, before him i suspected Ta Khuean. so i didn't need to see him in the interrogation room, to know he isn't the serial killer. cause if the murders aren't about the killing, but about the ability to prolong life, then the one in need is the sick guy - no?!? but the preview confused me, what cop? or is the cop the same one that went mad 15 yrs ago & went missing?!? & is he Ai Soon?!? time will tell. ****************************************************************************************************************************************Singha & Thup r adorable together & glad that Thup realized that instead of just avoiding & being afraid of the ghosts he could communicate & use them. but don't get why they not trying to find a way to help the guys that r targeted avoid becoming the next victim. i guess there aint no protection program in Thailand?!?? & if i was Darin i would search out Thup & stick close to him, as is the guys on Singha's teams think he is like a good luck charm that wards of ghosts. that true or not does it matter when u got a target on ur back?!? ****************************************************************************************************side note: i laughed out loud when King finally saw "smile" pity it didn't amount to anything more - & no i ironically don't want him dead. even though i don't trust him & i am still annoyed by how shady he is. but that doesn't mean i want him to become the next victim.

poor Shu Lang everyone f*cks him over, he thought he was finally turning a new leaf & getting away from Fan Xiao, but Fan Xiao got his clutches in him - he not letting go anytime soon. heck the crazy f*cker would've been happy to go to hell, if he knew that Shu Lang would be there waiting for him. idk what type of toxic this is... but it's a nuclear level. the equivalent of Shu Lang rear ending Fan Xiao is of someone breaking a mirror - guess he in for 7 yrs of bad luck... lol - poor Shu Lang. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************been saying for a while now, that he such a green flag, how he came to Zhen's aid - especially after what Zhen did. yeah he was seduced into making a huge mistake, but he didn't have a gun to his head. it was a choice he made & Shu Lang for sure didn't owe him a thing. so him still going out of his way to solve Zhen's problem shows what a good guy he is. **************************yet in this ep he kept blindsided by everything Fan Xiao did to him. in his eyes from the sec he met Fan Xiao, he got played by him. the only thing he has to find out is that Fan Xiao is the cause of the 2nd accident on the same day. the fact he didn't agree to the 2nd brother's deal is a logical move, cause he knows he isn't trust worthy & it might as well be getting in bed with the devil. he had enough with one demon = Fan Xiao. he didn't need to get involved with that family & he's smart enough to know this fact. ******************************************************************************************************************************that's why his professor double crossing him is that much more devastating, cause he trusted him. but sadly Shu Lang no matter how good he is, always encounters people that take advantage of his kind heart. my heart aches for Shu Lang. (btw that beatdown wasn't enough).

forgot that in the dynamic of a Dom / Sub relationship the Sub is the real one with power - lol... so little wonder that the one that had all the power is now down on his knees begging, the twist was somehow fitting & yet Jeong Han this whipped he can't think straight? he didn't deal with Jeong In until he had too (& beating him isn't dealing with the problem, it's just making things worse). same with his father, am sure his whole life he was dictated too, as the future successor his whole day was planned yrs ahead, not weeks or months & his every move was reported back to his father - this i know just from watching K-drama's. Jeong In being born in that environment needs educating?!?? shouldn't he know better?!?? he wants to be with Il Jo in Korea where gay relationships r still stigmatized? & given his position, he would be doubly so, add the fact they related & that would be like opening pandora's box - the chaos that info getting reveled is mind boggling. yet no plans, no fore-thought about how to make sure nothing wouldn't touch the private life he wanted with Il Jo, just living life & hoping everything would work out - guess he had a perfect life, before taking Il Jo in, after the funeral. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************regarding Il Jo - i will ask/say again, if he knew he should stay away from Jeong Han, why did he show-up at his gate after standing him up for the dinner date? he knew being near Jeong Han was gonna put Jeong Han in danger, but he still went - when he knew that he had to get away from him, to keep both of them safe. so why come back only to then depart?!? & anyone saying it's cause he loved Jeong Han so much he couldn't stay away - i call b.s. cause if u really love someone so much, u will keep away to not hurt them, instead of coming back only to go away adding to their heartache & messing with their head. ******also i am happy he didn't sleep with his half-brother, i literally gasped when the half-brother said that to Jeong Han & the other things he said made me wonder, is Il Jo really an evil femme fatale, master mind that loves to play with men's heads? & he targets "tough cookies" that r hard to crack, which makes the conquest that much more sweeter when they fall for him?!? now that would be a hell of a twist for the ages, him actively trying to destroy the Seo family, cause he held a grudge against them for not accepting him, as one of their own.

so was a bit confused in this ep - why wasn't Il Jo elated that Jeong Han wanted to date him? why didn't he answer him when Jeong Han asked how he felt about him. cause am 99.999% sure Il Jo still head over heels for Jeong Han?!? what did his half-brother say to him, when he was beating him up?? as it was clear that he knew there was something between Jeong Han & lI Jo, just he assumed that Jeong Han was playing with lI Jo. did he threaten lI Jo or tell him that he would hurt Jeong Han if lI Jo didn't keep his distance ?!?? is that why, even though he agreed to date he wants it kept a secret?!? ******************************btw Jeong In was always gonna be a problem, cause he can hurt both guy, as i am sure Jeong Han's CEO father wont be happy to hear his son is not only gay, but in a relationship with his cousin & that's putting it lightly. & even after the 2nd beating Jeong Han didn't feel the need to try & find a way to deal with Jeong In, making sure he wont become an obstacle in their lives.

why one BL after the other suddenly they all different levels of toxic?!? like WTF is going on - idk if to laugh of cry. **************ironically i kinda agreed with Jeong Han, when he watched Lee Il Jo get stomped on & beaten by his half-brother. like who willingly turns themselves into a doormat & keeps begging when they r getting the living sh*t beaten out of them? at no point self-respect, self-preservation, bleedin anger at the injustice of it all, didn't make him counter-attack?!? defend himself with words or actions??? nope, he just took it??? ******************************************************************************************so yeah i agreed with Jeong Han, as i was feeling more or less the same things - Lee Il Jo annoyed me. but then Jeong Ha added the f*cked up line, where he wondered "...how much more pathic he could get..." sounded like he was gonna try & find out... which turns him into a sadist & idk how much i am into that.... & as much as Il Jo is a walking victim - he's already down idk how much i am gonna enjoy anyone kicking him & adding to his misery. but thankfully this short so i wont have to suffer too much (i hope).

this is the reason i didn't like how considerate Shizuma was, how he tried to understand Minato's b*tchy behavior, even though his kneejerk reaction was the right one (when he heard about the bet). ************************************************************the way Minato treated Shizuma in this ep was deplorable. 1st he plays hard to get, telling him he's busy (basically getting back at him, cause he was busy with his internship) then he only called him out, cause he wanted Shizuma to stop his sibling from moving in with Itsuki & even then he was distant & standoffish. like WTF - that's why even though i don't like Yuka, i was so freakin happy that she called Shizuma & took him away from Minato, who only wanted to finally hangout & spend time together, cause his older brother moved in with his young lover & Minato felt lonely & needed Shizuma for a pick-me-up, dude is so freakin immature, it is infuriating. **********************************************************************************************i get that whatever his hang-ups r, he wont suddenly get over them cause Shizuma came into his life, but he is totally messing with a good-man. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the whole scene with the gay guys & his getting angry at Shizuma, when he was frustrated at himself & angry at his older brother, he took it out of Shizuma & Shizuma just stood there still pleading with him, trying to be understanding & patient, indulgent even. only for Minato to throw his kindness back in his face, actively stomping on his heart on the way out - cause Shizuma , his feeling don't count. ****************************************************************************************************sorry, but i don't think Minato is worthy of Shizuma (& i doubt he ever will be), Shizuma is too good to be true & he for sure deserves someone who wont use him as a verbal punching bag, he deserves someone who appreciates what he brings to the table & is ready to give as much as they get... that aint Minto, who is a VERY self-centered character. btw get they will make-up in the next ep, but i aint a happy camper. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: how old is Shizuma's younger brother? when he was talking about school, i hope he meant collage & not high school cause i don't care that in Japan the age of consent is 16 - Itsuki from what i can tell is in his late 20's, so that feel so off IMO, but as they not the main couple guess only to me their relationship is disturbing? also the fact that the mother realized just when Itsuki showed up to pick up her son, that they were a couple.. added to the weirdness

Fan Xiao is freakin obsessed with possessing Shu Lang, he wants to put him in a cage & not allow anyone else access to him. yet he also thinks he wants to use & then toss him aside(?) when he is done with him?!?? but the next sec he is concerned - non stop mentioning Shu Lang's ex & comparing himself to him?!?? when Zhen is long gone - a thing of the past, but he wont stop mentioning him. dude is certifiable.... ************************************************************************************************idk how his mind works & what he is thinking. does he really want a future with Shu Lang? or was that just a "story" he sold cause he wanted Shu Lang to fall for him & now that he has, what now?!? **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************on Shu Lang's part, i really love this character. he is so pure & good, but not fantastically so... he is very "normal" but in a good way (especially in comparison to Fan Xiao, the sociopath). also he doesn't play games, u can see how he feels cause he doesn't gaslight & he has fallen hard for Fan Xiao - which is so worrying to me, given how shady Fan Xiao is. not only that he might suddenly drop/treat him like he did Zhen. but the truth about how Fan Xiao was playing with Shu Lang's life from the sec they met, will come top light... i can only guess how devastated Shu Lang will be. *******************************************************he has had such a tough, solitary life (am sure even after the adoption he worked hard all alone to support his new family & kept the bullying to himself cause he didn't want to burned his mother), now that he thinks he has found a safe haven - it turning into sh*t might really break him. now that would be sad. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: the brother & the bullies r at fault for the mother's death. btw i didn't get the logic - Shu Lang was outted & they tried to bully him. he graduated, but the bullies didn't?!? what?!?? & the mother should know better them to confront kids, go to the principle or the teacher. confronting other people's children no matter their age, is a stupid move IMO. *******************either way Shu Lang's not at fault & his brother is blaming him, cause he doesn't want to face the fact that he was a coward that lacked the strength (his gay brother had) to stand-up for himself & he ended up putting his mother in that situation. me in Shu Lang's stead, would tell him to kick rocks after 1st time. promise to dead mother be damned - sorry not sorry!

this kinda went as i knew it would - Peem would be framed, the father would die & Than would not only come back to rescue Peem, but they would end up together. think the only thing that surprised me was that Risa & Pan didn't get rid of Jet & Phakphum. but i guess covering-up so many dead bodies, would be hard. so for now she has left them alive while framing Peem in the hopes that after they (she & Jet) got rid of Peem, then later on taking care of Jet would be a piece of cake. which given Jet's inability to read the room & his drug habit, would be easy - especially if Phakphum wasn't around to baby-sit him...*********the only thing that really annoyed me is what a huge pushover Than has turned out to be, love be damned after how he was treated & yet he keeps coming back for more - very frustrating to watch. but it is what it is - one more ep to go thank f*ck

he typed the words, but didn't send... i really wished in this season Shirasaki would stop being a self-centered asshat. alas nope - especially not when he is around Asami. if anything, he turns into a much bigger baby, cause he knows Asami will accept his childish side & even indulge him. he could've found a better way to support Asami & push him to believe in himself & his dreams, not let his past & his parents stand in his way. but nope, Shirasaki had to make it all about himself & how hard he had it. like come on - he loves throwing himself a pity party. as if he is the only one who has to work hard to achieve something. cause Asami got scouted, means he didn't have to work hard at acting or achieving the fame & recognition he has in the industry - right?? ********************************************************************************************************************************in the preview Shirasaki thanks Asami for meeting him. yeah he should thank his lucky stars, cause of Shirasaki he succeeded in his 1st role. he worked with him, was patient & gave his advise & instruction when it was called for & since, he has been supporting & caring for him - never asking for a thing in return. ********************************************************************the one time he confide in him, instead of reading the room & waiting for Shirasaki to pour his heart.... he just latched onto the a few words that were important to him & then blew-up, cause Shirasaki wasn't grateful & jumping with joy?!? *********************************************************************************************************************************************************i was happy for the mains in the 1st season, was looking forward to this season in the hopes of seeing their individual growth & how their love grew as a result - how being together made them better. unnecessary to point out, i am disappointed.

this isn't a comedy but i laughed so much throughout this ep. Fan Xiao is freakin certifiable, he's playing cat & mouse games with Shu Lang. i didn't get what he was trying to do, almost outing the fact that Zhen lied to Shu Lang & was out meeting someone else. then at the last moment he changed his mind - why?!? i get he wants to break Shu Lang, he wants to see his ugly side & that's why he keeps playing game's with him. but then why at the last moment have a change of heart?! ******************btw Zhen needs to stop being tempted by a stranger & hold onto someone who really cares for him - but after he lied to Shu Lang, when he knew they planned a trip to get married, i donno how much he deserves someone like Shu Lang. *****************& Fan Xiao drugging Zhen cause he wanted to recreate the scene with Shu Lang - dude crazy. cause the way Zhen was acting he didn't need drugs to get into bed with Fan Xiao. but just cause he wanted Shu Lang he needed to try & recreate that scenario. crazy. btw i am happy that he stopped at he hickeys, even though seeing the evidence of what he did the day after was shocking - like i keep saying dude certifiable.... LOL

this was cute & i liked more then their coming out to the sister & the friend, the fact that they were ready to come out of the closet together as a couple. as this so short, i didn't expect any grand ending's & the friend also accepting Suhyun was great. all in all a very cute, sweet BL without much drama.

this was a tough ep for me to watch. this side of Shirasaki is hard for me to stomach, the groveling, begging... no matter the character behaving like this, it's more then 2nd hand embarrassment - it's visceral. seeing him begging, groveling for Kuroki;s help was beyond uncomfortable. the fact that in-spite of how Kuroki feels about Shirasaki, he in the end folded & gave into Shirasaki's begging says a lot about him. still didn't make that whole drawn out scene, any more plateable & for sure will never rewatch that. *************************************************************************************************************************also Shirasaki has a tendency to very be self-centered, in this ep he finally understood how important the role he was cast for was to Asami & how he must have felt to have give up on it. but no matter what, Shirasaki never thinks to ask Asami about his day, how he is feeling - heck Asami's so good at hiding his true feelings - u have to watch him like hawk to notice something is off & this time when he finally tried to reach out.... Shirasaki was off busy with his own issues. which r always more pressing then Asami or their relationship. cause he knows Asami will always indulge & prioritize him. ************************************i feel sad for Asami who was the adult as a child & now as an adult he is in a relationship with a needy child that can't seem to offer a bit of support.. heck he doubts Asami needs anything of the sort & takes him for granted. living like this can be exhausting & soul crushing. so before this ends i really hope Shirasaki matures enough to understand that he needs to support & be someone Asami can lean on & not always be the one taking & getting support. i hope -

Hioki is freakin adorable - how can one not love him?!??? but dude's blind as a bat LOL... idk how his glasses r not as thick as a tree trunk OMG that part is a bit ridiculous & if u can't see, u will go into the bath with ur glasses on - wear water goggles above them.. better then slipping & breaking ur head. *************************************************************************************but on a whole another great ep - the girls r annoying, but i get they there to push the mains together. still don't like how they lack self awareness, neither of the guys in the 'fab 4' group wanted them around or wanted to be around them - yet they kept acting kinda pathetic. then adding to their unlikability by trying to gang-up on Hioki or demanding answers from Watarai.
