estar well that was one hell of a reception, poor Pai - dude didn't know what hit him & Tim (given his profession as a conman, was a moron) maybe it was convenient meeting all his marks in the same place, but he should've known better & been smarter... even though considering how rich Pai's family was, his face would be plastered all over the place & all the people he conned would realize who he was or rather how he lied to them, especially if he went by other names - guess love does make u stupid. ********but have to say, i don't get Pai's grandfather blaming him, it's not like he knew & did it deliberately - he was conned, duped, tricked - basically taken advantage of.... u might be mad that it made a laughing stock of ur family image, but who is the real one hurt, if not Pai??? & instead of channeling ur anger at the guilt party - i.e. Tim, u choose to disown ur grandson & kick him while he is down?!??? didn't get the logic behind this - other then this basically forces Pai into relying on Tim as he is basically destitute. *****************************************************************************************************************************but loved how North stood-up for Pai - he is the MVP of this BL & i really love him & his pure heart. i really hope Yu is true to his word & doesn't end up hurting him cause his mother comes back into the picture or some such.

poor He Xiang, idk why the kids in his class targeted him or decided to ostracize him, well they didn't need a reason it just takes something small & one popular kid to start to the ball rolling & i even get He Xiang even if he was popular, he was the new kid & he couldn't afford to alienate the other kids, let alone side with a kid that was being openly bullied & yet he still befriended He Xiang. but i get him not defending him or trying to tell the others to stop. as a kid that is very hard to do. sad that as an adult he is still carrying those feelings, it shows how important He Xiang was to him & how much he cared & felt bad for not defending him or the love he felt. but he isn't the "bad guy". ************************************************************************************but am glad He Xiang got a chance to have a civil conversation with his father, the 1st real plus from his wish coming true. now just hope when the wish expires he will be able to face his father & tell him everything he is feeling & can't convey now cause he is He Xiang's look-alike friend. ****************************************************************************************************the 2nd couple - Hamaguchi gives me butterflies, the intensity in the air when he is with Li Wan Zhe makes me shudder & yet he stopped himself when Li Wan Zhe said no. their chemistry is wild fire. pity Li Wan Zhe is more open & accepting of Hamaguchi when he is blind drunk. but love that Hamaguchi isn't giving up no matter how hot & cold Li Wan Zhe acts towards him.

sh*t, i had a bad feeling that Airy wasn't the type to be that cool & big hearted while letting Tim walk away, when he was breaking-up with her - like nothing happened. pity i wasn't wrong. but i guess that's the whole point of the drama, for there to be "drama lol". also how ironic that North is the one that got married 1st, got divorced & then realized he loved Yu. but Yu also got a chance to come clean & thus got a chance to start over. even though with a pushover like North, i aint shocked. still feel for Pai, even before he is gonna get shamed before his whole family. ***************************************************************even though i love Tim (well Junior) i don't feel as bad for him cause he has been conning & even hurting Pai. so whatever comes his way is deserved. now if he truly loves Pai he will work hard to earn him back like Yu did with North. just in Pai's case. Tim not gonna have an easy time winning Pai back & considering everything Tim has done it's ok.

glad both scammers admitted to themselves that they have fallen for their targets. Yu lucked out cause he is already on the path or making up with North, which wasn't that much of a battle given what a softy North is, not to mention the fact he is a pushover & already / still in-love with Yu. that wont be the case with Pai, he isn't just head over heels in-love with Tim he is sacrificing his everything to build a future with him - so when the truth comes out it might be a devastating blow for him. ******but was kinda shocked to hear Tim's backstory - so his parents r alive just in another country while they left their son all alone to face the loan-sharks?!?? & he is doing all this so they can come back live as a family. that's sad

must say i didn't get what was going on in this ep - maybe it was for Sakutaro to find his calling? realizing that his father translated a book for him & making him think about his own past experiences.... i guess. but i don't get the tepid relationship between the mains. Kuji keeps acting like he is suffering Sakutaro's present in his life almost like he is intruding. he for sure was warmer & kinder to Tamaki who showed up at his door step out of the blue accusing him of mistreating his beloved Uncle. but with Sakutaro he keeps him at arms length & even if he treats him warmly the next sec he is putting up a wall between them, trying to push him away. wish we got more of a back story to him. ******************************************************************btw the touching of lips that passes for passionate kisses is so weird to watch, but i am the only one that is bothered by this, so whatever.... but find it hella ironic as i am also watching Yatara Yarashii Fukami-kun, where other viewer's keeps finding the NC scenes lacking, while i think they r fine & convey what is needed without being to explicit - go figure

Kaji as per usual lack a filer, thankfully not everything he think he says but on a whole he can't help himself - idk how Fukami doesn't find him odd, cause good looks aside his behavior is weirdo coded lol... but i think that Fukami has fallen for him, which is making me wonder if he might get his heartbroken as he seems less experienced & maybe naïve - even though not 100% sure of this cause he is a very introverted character that even us viewer's don't really get a peak into how his brain works. so we will have to see as this progresses. still didn't like that Kaji saved Fukami as "loser" - that's gonna backfire ugh

i guess cause this got a romcom vibe, North's heartbreak wasn't as brutal as i thought it would be, considering what a softy he is. & as much as i love Junior, his character here is a real douche, he isn't just hurting Pai, he is actively helping Yu con both cousins - cause he decided to out Yu & in the process showed his own cards, so now like it or not they in the same boat & he has to help Yu, just to make sure he doesn't blow his cover. *****************************************************************************there is a part of me that can't wait for Pai to find out, cause as much as Tim is starting to care for him he is still motivated by the con & his own ass & it's annoying me a bit

i really wanted to push through cause this is short - but i can't & it's not just the whole ridiculous plot where a guy is flirting with someone else, while he is planning his wedding. but what he is doing is pure harrasment - but cause he looks good it's ok? cause they the main couple?!??? & if this wasn't bad enough, i can't stand Imm - Namnuea's boss. she keeps hitting him as if that is funny or ok in any work place. but cause it's a woman hitting a guy it's fine? *****************************************************basically there is just nothing funny or cute about what is going on in this BL so far... so i don't think i will force myself through this b.s. anymore sorry not sorry. ****************************************************************************************************the only pity is that bad writing & producing/directing has thrown a wrench in the actors potential & now i aint shocked that i can't see any other projects on their bio pages. bummer for them.

hmm idk how i feel about this, was happy to see the guys from Love in the Air - even though i don't get how they connected or why they r in this, but whatever... & it would be an interesting premise especially with he bride already having her special someone. but from the way Lom & Yiwa spoke at the end of the ep, it seemed to me that they r planning to marry & lead separate lives - with the people they r attracted too. which might be ok with Yiwa & her partner Marine. ************************but who in their right mind would want to get in a relationship, where u know u r the mistress & could only be with the person u love in secret?!? will always/forever remain a secret, cause there is an official wife?!? this toxic & kinda messed-up, especially given how Lom was totally playing mind games with Namnuea from the sec he sat down in front of him. *************************the typical "pulling of the hair of the person u like" is immature childhood playground behavior, as a child wouldn't know how to communicate their feelings & might even not know how to interpret what they feel. so bugging the person they like & getting any kind of reaction, would be seen as a plus. given Lom's age & position in life, one would think he could do better then harass Namnuea at his job. but i guess this a romcom & it's supposed to be funny. it was up to a point & then started getting infuriating. i hope as this progresses Lom stop gaslighting Namnuea & this doesn't end up Namnuea in the role of mistress - if that is the case i would've loved a heads- up so i wouldn't even bother.. oh well time will tell

what a fun fluffy ep - loved how the pairs came together & made up. well that Yu got on Pai's good side. & like how Yu appreciates North, maybe cause he doesn't have a bff that he keeps talking about the con with i assume after what he mother did he has come to realize what a catch North is & how more then being his meal ticket, North is a genuinely good person that one would want in their lives forever. hope i aint wrong in my assessment that for Yu North is not longer a target but someone he has truly fallen for.

this was so much fun, both pairs r so wholesome which is hella ironic given the conmen in each pair. but Pai & North r really naïve & not as guarded & suspicious as they need to be, for people in their position. not to mention they r really good people so i get how hard it is not to fall for them. still dreading the moment both Pai & North find out that the people they have fallen for conned them. that's gonna be a rude awakening. ************************************************************************************btw for a conman, i thought it was a very stupid move for Yu to take out all the money North gave him, to hide around his place, as if banks weren't more secure & given the life he has lead, one would think the would be smarter. but i guess it was needed so his biological mother would show-up only to rob him blind. all this for him to appreciate what a pure soul North is??? maybe *** ****************************************************************************************************************************************also find it funny that both Tim & Yu used the same woman to play their mother & yet they don't know each other - have never bumped into each other in their profession?!? ***************************************************************************************side note: i really love Louis playing the quirky sidekick roles - he is always so freakin funny. but cause he is just a side character there isn't enough of him & that's a pity

cute, fun 1st ep even though i would rather see the build-up to the actual romance. but i get why it was skipped, as this not a real romance yet - at least not on the scammers part. & i am here for Junior, but i loved North (Poon) he is the MVP of this ep, dude is such a pushover i am shocked he has never been scammed before, cause it was literally like taking candy from a baby. here Tim had to put in work for over a yr to get a proposal & Yu did it in less then 24 hrs - heck he got quite a heft sum without any work & if he chose to disappear now, he's wont be walking away empty handed. *********************************************maybe cause of this, i already feel bad for him when he realizes that Yu is a conman & doesn't really love him. same with Pai i guess - ********************************************************************************************************************************side note: i really tended not to like Ohm & would avoid anything he was in, more cause he was always paired with Fluke & sorry but i can't stand the dude or rather the character's he tends to portray, so am happy to see Ohm with other actors as can see him & not "the pair" - which i always found stupid - that u have to/ can Only act with that one actor u were paired with in that one BL, cause that was successful or cause of chemistry.... cause fans!! - weird & annoying. *********************************actors need to take any role & act with anyone so they can learn & grow, becoming better in their profession. the pigeonholing is moronic & can be a death blow for their career IMO.

find it ironic that both leads somehow ended up owing money to the companies they worked for, in Xiang Yong's case more so - if he was just an intern WTF he in a position to owe the company there something just not right there & the whole scene at the start came off shady as f*ck & the Publishing house president came off like a conman - sadly Xiang Yong is MIA as far as his father is concerned & he is a small guest house owner who wouldn't know what is right or wrong & instead of seeking help or knowing someone knowledgeable he just looking how to cover the debt & get his son out of trouble. ****************************also given Xiang Yong predicament i am shocked that his wish was to disappear & not that his problem disappeared, a much more logical wish IMO but it is what it is & the mains kissed, even though a blind drunk kiss doesn't count - not when the next day when they r sober they (emotionally) will be right back at square one. *********************************************************& even though i am still rooting for the 2nd couple, kinda getting tired of Li Wan Zhe taking advantage of Hamaguchi Aomi's wooing him & turning him into his servant, getting old fast. *************************************************************************side note: took me a sec to recognize Sam Lin & idk but IMO he doesn't look that good here - why? as i saw him in Unknown & he looked so freakin good there. is it just the haircut? weird

Wan Zhe realizing he misses Aomi was cute, as cute as his mother knowing that her sons like Aomi & even encouraged him to go to him when he came back. & even though there isn't a boring moment in this BL, everything is very slow paced & i am still not given a full picture of the back story or what happened at Chen Hao Wei's work place that r the cause of his panic attack's.
