feel like Kaishin has already fallen for Ai, cause no matter how he gets treated he comes back for more. even though he is hurt. or it just could be cause he has to survive so no matter who his client is or how they treat him he can't drop his smile. sad really - no matter how u look at it. **********************************************************************************************************btw i didn't get Ai's sister contacting him or his saying he would deal with their father, how? other then the fact he is in the middle of nowhere - he had a mental breakdown after that call & shut himself in his room. how he gonna handle sh*t let alone keep his niece & sister safe? wishful thinking? i don't recall the Thai version being this fragile - he did break when he came face to face with his father. but here given how fragile Ai is idk how he will deal - when the time comes...

didn't expect for this ep to start off with that long ass sex scene - oh well... & i don't recall Ai's character being such a drama queen. i get he got PTSD from his abusive father. but as is i am fast-forwarding the GL's bits, now even he is making want to skip past whatever is going on. personally think the only reason this has got the rating it has is cause of the sex scenes, which is kind of an insult... as when u make a remake u want it to be better then the original & i doubt i can say that - so hope this gets better, at least then this would be worse then the Thai BL.

hmmm pity they didn't change the 2nd couple's plot, cause i couldn't stand that sh*t when i was watching the Thai version & here it aint any cuter. i just wanted the secretary to grow a backbone & tell the actress to FO, cause her idea of flirting is whack. sorry not my cup of tea & guess even in this version i will just skipping any scenes with them - heck that makes this BL shorter. *******************************************************************************************************************************but the mains - well i didn't see them going at it so soon in the series. but they do have smoking chemistry & it's kinda X-rated, which idk how how to digest lol i was kinda embarrassed.. it reminded me of the Pornographer series, if there was a line in BL's that series crossed it. that's how i felt watching this

this last ep was crap - until now it wasn't perfect, but it wasn't bad & there was a logic to how character's acted & how this plot developed. but in this ep, it felt like everything got solved in a blink; who needed to apologize did just so & everyone forgave & they lived happily ever after... it was cliché of the worse kind & as this was the last ep it was a rush job to stick a bow on it & call it done. bummer as i like the character's & the acting was good i wanted growth & a reconciliation, but this felt fake. so this a one off & the only plus is that this was short so it was over in a blink.

had a feeling that Guy saw Oab as more then just a friend, even though it was very subtle, yet am sure he is the person who Shin took away. moronic to blame Shin for everything that went wrong in his life. as if Shin's got it any easier... but when ur hurting u just looking for someone to blame. sad that he took it so far as to drag Peach into it. but actually dating him, guess he hates Shin so much he will date someone he just likes to rub it in. glad that at the end Peach woke-up & bowed out. the way he kept quite when Guy kept staking a claim when Shin was around was making me wonder if this moron will ever speak up. too late as he should've done it in front of Shin - but it is what it is. *********************************************************************& i feel sad for Shin, considering the childhood he has lead - let alone his knee-jerk-reaction when anyone touches his shoulder, says volumes. most of his life he has kept people at arms length, cause he doesn't want to get hurt & when Peach accused him, instead of explaining he retreated into himself, knowing full well that explanation's wouldn't help - tells u more about his past. feel bad for him & yes he needs to learn to trust let alone communicate, but Peach is acting like an immature baby too. after Shin's reaction to him just talking to Guy, he should've known better then to go out with him & lie to Shin. makes it harder for Shin to trust.. so can't fault him for his reaction. so IMO neither or both r equally at fault & both need to work on themselves, if this relationship gonna workout.

ep 7 explains better what happened in the past & why it took Jeong U so long to try & contact Han Gyeol. considering what he almost sacrificed for Han Gyeol, after hearing what happened - Han Gyeol just sitting around waiting for Jeong U to reach out kinda annoyed me. after hearing what Jeong U did for him, Han Gyeol should've called him back - as is Jeong U was trying to call him & he kept ignoring his calls. **************************************************************************************************Yuchan in-spite of having a crush on Han Gyeol did the right thing, he a better man then most - being that unselfish is admirable.

well this turned into a sh*t show by the end... idk why, but the sec Peach told Guy about the cake (he & Shin were making for the competition) i had a bad feeling. but he was still working at Oab's so thought i was letting my imagination run wild. also even though he was friendly towards Peach - there wasn't a sec where i thought, Guy was attracted to Peach. i think he wants to win & make Shin take 2nd place, whether it's in a baking competition or by making Peach his. whatever was bottled up when they were studying together, has turned into hatred. now he just wants to hurt Shin & sadly Peach was moronic enough to happily fall, straight into his hands. **************************************************************************************************here he keeps throwing a tantrum cause Shin doesn't want them to tell the others in the bakery, that they r dating - when they just started a sec ago... usually people want to keep their private lives private. it doesn't mean they r ashamed of their partners, it means they want their work colleges to not poke their nose in their relationship. but Peach acting like a child, an immature one at that, with how he behaves around Shin & he gets away with 'murder' cause Shin has a soft spot for him. ******************idk about others, but if i am dating someone & even if i am unsure about my feelings (not deeply in-love) just to be respectful of them, i wouldn't be too chummy with a friend they had a falling out with. what hanging with a senior is more important then ur budding relationship?!? same with his "dream" what if he didn't go with Guy, there wouldn't ever be a 2nd opportunity? that restaurant closing? that Chef retiring?? like plz & he lied to Shin - period. **********************************************************so yeah seeing Oab taking advantage of the situation isn't great, but he was at the same pub with Guy after what happened with Shin. cause Guy not kissing him, it's ok? meeh -

given how the whole ep went am kinda shocked that Peach & Shin ended up in bed together. no matter how infatuated u r with someone when he is this antisocial & loves not just pushing people away, but insulting them. Peach still in-love??? idk if this commendable, reminds me of women that grow-up in abusive households only to then seek out abusive partners & no matter how many red flags they see, they ignore it all, cause... idk - love?!? *****************************************************************& seeing Guy & Atom worry about Peach getting close to Shin is another indicator that he's a red-flag. yeah he aint abusive - well not physically. but emotionally? mentally?!? ************************************************************************************after what Atom said, i am pretty sure he knows that Oab has feelings for Shin & has kept him on hold - heck the way Guy reacted to seeing pic's of Shin in Peach's phone, he knows too & was worried for the same reasons (cause of how Oab's been treated) he doesn't want Peach to be treated similarly. even though there was a sec were i wondered if even Guy had a crush on Shin. but i think it was about Oab not himself. ************************************************************************************also have a bad feeling the reason Shin has started to warm to Peach is cause of his grandmother & not cause of Peach himself. maybe this wouldn't bother others - me yeah it would.

hell of a way to end the 2nd ep. really like most of the character's. am yet to understand the dynamic between Atom, Oab & their mother. guess a single mother that built a barky franchise & now she wants her to run their own shops. Oab being the oldest conformed, while Atom wants to do his own thing, at his own pace. also get a feeling Oab has a crush on Shin & they not just bff's that work together. but maybe cause of Shin's personality Oab has kept this a secret, cause he doesn't think Shin would accept him & then he might lose a friend. *************************************************************************************& i know the end game is Shin & Peach, but i like Peach more with Guy. Shin's hot & cold attitude is an overdone trope that is getting old. & even if u can understand where he is coming from, that doesn't mean u want to be with a person like this. Peach is too compassionate for his own good, cause after how Shin talked to him - a "sorry" doesn't make the insult go away. they have to work together as boss & subordinate, so u have to put ur pride aside & get on with it. but there is a huge difference between that & having to socialize with that same person. i genuinely couldn't put that whole incident behind me, not on the same day. Peach a better person than me. *******************************************************************************************also think his grandmother noticed that Shin is interested in Peach - but as this so short there wont be any unnecessary drama, doubt there will even be a health scare as drama writes love to add that in when older character's r involved. this too short for anything but the 'meat' - which is a plus - no filler!

popped up on my tube feed & thought what the hell, while i was doing something else. wont say it made me took twice - well it did - when the actors started popping up on screen - but that was just eye candy. got the gist of who was whom & what was going on & yet it didn't make me stop & focus. ***************************************************************************************for now i like most of the cast - minus Shin. maybe being an orphan u accept the introverted side of him, but he a mean-girl & it's one thing being a perfectionist & another being a d*ck... sorry but Shin was a d*ck just cause he knew he had the power & the backing of the owner to be one... there was a sec at the end where he seemed semi human so lets hope he warms up to Peach.

the funny bit is i watched the Thai version a while back & got stuck & stopped watching.. took a break & the 2nd time around watched till the end. ironically happened while trying to watch this too.. so this my 2nd go & survived till the end of the ep - which is already a plus. nothing surprising it was more or less the same as the Thai version. maybe Kaishin is less of a goof ball then Mut was in the Thai version. but on a whole ok 1st ep -

the ep's r so freakin short - they don't start they r over & now there is only one last one left. well at least his mother that was supposedly in a coma, came too after hearing her brother-in-law taunting her that her son is gonna get sold/married off to a woman he doesn't love & took her own life. that's the only way i guess she could help him, as now he doesn't need to worry about hurting his mother is he disobeys his Uncle. **********************************************************************************at the end Master Lin popped-up top stop the marriage, but was wondering did they actually sleep together as i thought they had only time to make out... (that's the problem with bad translations it keeps u guessing) either way it was enough incentive to get Master Lin to come rescue Chen GuangLi .

that ending was hilarious fitting that Thee would buy GMM-TV. this whole ep was a fluff fest & glad Thee fired Mok, so he could pursue his own happiness. a very wholesome & fun ending. even the adopting of the sibling was adorable, but fitting with Thee's crazy impulsive side - btw the way he & his mother want to gift the world to people they like, is hilarious they still have so much money to spend. ************************************************************************************************************very cute & fun BL. Thee was the MVP & Mok (ironically - as he didn't have that big a part) was a close 2nd. for sure a rewatch when i am looking for something light & fun

1st off i wish in real life people cared for children that got adopted from orphanages, even though even here after getting adopted other then her brother waiting for her call - no one really was worried, making sure she was doing well. & if the neighbors hadn't noticed & called the cops, she would keep getting abused... so idk if this wasn't realistic - just happy to see this side depicted. shines a light on a subject that isn't really mentioned in BL's or drama's even when they r related to orphanages or adoptions. *************************************************************************************************************************i didn't like how the whole Tawan, Aran Touch issue was dealt with - it was some unnecessary drama - but it made Peach go to Thee & meet his future in-laws. that whole scene was handled well & it was very wholesome & funny - can see where Thee get's his quirkiness from. both his parents turned out to be sweethearts.

half of this ep was great, the other half not so much - i could do without the unnecessary drama with the sister finding out; 1 her brother is an adult & older then her. 2 she should be fired, cause Thee wasn't assaulting Peach, he was taking care of him after he got assaulted. so barging in like that, was just cause she knew she would be safe cause her brother was dating her boss. i don't like that sh*t, where now u can act like queen B cause u got connections. especially when u walking all over the one that is granting u those connections. *****************************************************************************************************& that whole mess with Tawan & Aran - which ironically was enabled by Peach, was another b.s. plot line - why he gets to speak for Aran? shouldn't he ask his opinion? before saying Aran wouldn't want his personal business getting in the way of the professional side? also what Tawan the only model available? there no other men or women in this BL?!? but we needed the drama with Tawan... meeh - i didn't like this. there is enough to deal with, without dragging character's that aint even part of the main plot. why we need this filler at this stage of the drama? ***********************************************************************the MVP of this ep was Thee - but he is the one that shines in almost every ep - he is loveable, sweet & funny - very loveable & Peach should thank his lucky stars that Thee fell for him. cause his baggage is (in this ep) was not worth the trouble.
