estar the kiss was almost smoking hot, but Xiao Chen turned into a bleedin puffer fish LOL - like why puffy out ur cheeks like that, Lu Feng was kissing him not blowing air into him or this how they kiss in China?!? anyway until that moment, that kinda burst the bubble that was building throughout this ep - i was really enjoying myself. at 1st i wasn't sure either actor was to my liking (visually) but it didn't take long for both to grow on me. Xiao Chen is genuinely adorable & at the start i got Secret Lover vibes (the Taiwanese BL) as i am sure it wasn't a coincidence, that the mains kept crossing paths coincidentally, don't think it was fate - unless fate is connected to Lu Feng in someway, shape or form. am 99% sure he found a way to always be close to Yi Chen. ***also given some comments i read, was worried this was toxic sh*t like TharnType where the dominant one forces himself on the passive one & even though what we see is grape - it somehow translates into affection that grows in the abused one & presto we got a budding romance - not the case as it's clear Xiao Chen has feelings for Lu Feng. so i can't wait to see how their relationship develops (even though given the start, guess they already facing a hurdle) time will tell - ****************************also given the starting credits, i saw there is a 2nd couple & ironically it will be Xiao Chen's younger sibling & who?!? bottom line, i am so here for this

given how this ended am sure the rumors about a 2nd season r true. now just lets hope nothing happens for production to stop & we end up getting to watch it so we will get answers to a lot of unresolved things that popped up this season. *****************anyway have a feeling Lu Guang Ming was the one that murdered the corrupt cop, trying to frame fatty Seven & Xia Liu Yi - leaving his body in the same condition, his brother's body was found, in the hopes of reopening his investigation. & maybe clearing a way for himself as a new go between in the older corrupt cops stead. that way he will be closer to finding out who the "old shopkeeper" really is as am certain he was the one who murdered his brother. still does that make him a good guy? nope - he was ready to sacrifice He Chu San & anyone else, regardless if they guilty or innocent, connected or not - he doesn't care. how he any better/different then the gangsters?!? so i don't get why Xie Jia Hua showed-up at his place & is that an indicator that now they gonna be partners?? is that a good thing? as Lu Guang Ming has no problem breaking the law to get what he wants. ********************************************************************************************************************************side note: 6 yrs ago Xia Liu Yi wasn't the head of any gang, so how he connected to Lu Guang Ming's brother's death??? just cause he's in a gang? oh well hope we get answers in the next season.. whenever that maybe *************************************but glad the mains finally kissed, ironic that He Chu San's words in the previous ep came to haunt Xia Liu Yi in this - as he realized that he too was scared of losing He Chu San as He Chu San was scared of Xia Liu Yi losing him. on that point it was a very sweet ending that was cut short what with the cops ugh.

given the preview i guess Chen Hao Wei doesn't walk away from Xiao You - cause i was thinking it was so ironic that it was the opposite as kids.... & it was justified - even if i didn't really blame Hao Wei for his behavior or lack of backbone with the other kids. it aint easy standing up for what is right when ur a teen. so i couldn't blame or hate either for what happened. it was a sad situation that was created by the other kids & both leads had to sufferer the consequences. but i didn't get what the "shimmer" was when Xiang Yong's father was talking to his friends about his son. i thought they would ALL wake-up & not remember Xiang Yong at all. no one made a wish, so why we see that?!?************************************************************************regarding the 2nd couple - i love Hamaguchi, & i keep getting the feeling that Li Wan Zhe it taking advantage of his infatuation cause he knows/thinks that Hamaguchi is that "mad" about him, cause of the wish. so he is taking his feelings for granted & even abusing his "power" - which is annoying, cause i am sure Hamaguchi had feelings for Li Wan Zhe even before he made a wish. the wish just forced him to confess his feelings & maybe ratcheted up the intensity of what he felt from 10 to 100. so even though the main focus of this BL is the mains, i hope we get more on the 2nd couple - & when i say more, i mean where Li Wan Zhe realizes what a gem Hamaguchi is & that he needs to work equally hard to keep him

oh the drama, but i knew it was coming that's why we got all that lovey dovey date montage between Jack & Dean, not just in this ep but the previous too. the storm has to come after the clam especially in BL-land. the fact Pete wasn't around was suspicious, as would've loved to see his face watching the fallout of his actions - as am sure he is the one that sent the vid to Tua. ***********************************************************************************************************************************also didn't think Tua would be the one to blowup like he did, he is so introverted & shy i thought if anything he would wait & confront Dean & Arnold after the rehearsal ended. also he was so infuriated, he wouldn't listen no matter who said what. but it's logical when ur hurting, sometimes it's best to give u space then try & communicate - Arnold should've known better. the fact Boston (who's been MIA for a while now, is back - is ironic) but the fact he was here to not prey on Tua, but offer him a shoulder & some much needed common sense, was cute. think everyone forgets that Boston is more then a man-who*e, he also has his softer sides that rarely have been seen, so it was nice seeing it now. ********************************************************poor Raffy when he finally decided to turn a new page that vid made everyone suspect him, which was logical considering he was the main sh*t starter so far, but when he finally realized that Rome was worth a 2nd glance & he started to open up to the option of them being more the hook-up buds. Jack tried to contact him, guess the best way to hurt Dean was to use his opponent, which is totally unfair to Raffy - as Jack knew that Raffy had feelings for him, but he also knows he is just using him - that's f*cked-up. not enough 4 people r hurting cause of 2 peoples mistake, now jack is gonna drag 2 more people into the hell he's in aish. ***************************************************************************************************************************side note: who is Gameplay one of Dean's wanna be sugar-daddies?!? either way Pod is hella buff & looks good - next ep a ton more of drama, can't wait lol

from where to start am happy that Arnold & Tua r finally together but i have a feeling their happiness is gonna be short lived. cause sorry but Dean is messy & i don't get why he needed to rub the deletion of evidence in Raffy's face. what was the point of antagonizing someone u know has it in for u? someone now will be more motivated to find sh*t on u & make ur life miserable, the thought processes eludes me. he acted like an adult when he talked to Arnold & they cleared things & he even apologized - which he didn't need to but it was the mature thing to do so there wouldn't be any hard feelings. but then he had to go & act the child with Raffy - why?!? *************************************************************************************************************& Rome is making me depressed with how hopelessly he has fallen for Raffy that he is ok with getting stepped on & he is still coming back for more. & it's not that Raffy talk's down to him & treats him like a sex toy, but he also doesn't care about him in any way - this the 2nd time he came & messed up his set at his job - regardless of if Rome is pressed for money or not. that's his job & it's important to him - but Raffy doesn't know or care. yet Rome is still ready to be used as a doormat - go figure. **********the ironic part have a feeling that Pete is the one that will leak the vid so the whole play will get axed & it's cause of them finding out about the money he embezzled, that & getting back at Raffy cause he thinks he took his man. next ep is gonna be a mess...*********************************************************************************************************************************side note" i genuinely don't get why we needed that whole scene with Jack & Dean trying to deliver flowers to some woman in pink & the crazy husband misunderstanding the situation. WTF was that for other then waste of time??? as is the whole new couples that were modeled on the previous seasons couples, always end up bff's that meet up together. why we need this weird connecting of lines so corny & kinda bad writing - whack.

this ep might as well have been a comedy - it was ridiculous & yet so much fun. Liu Yi being this big bad mobster boss is too naïve for his own good & Chu San for a good-boy collage student is a fox. even though it was a great ep i feel like a lot was shoved in & would've loved if this was a longer BL & this whole scenario took more then a blink of an eye to unfold. *************as much as i was looking forward to the 2nd couple i don't like Guang Ming, dude shady & being a cop that makes him scary as he targeted Chu San cause he saw him with Liu Yi, this means he will go through anyone just to get his target. like i said scary - i just hope this BL doesn't have a sad/depressing ending & that the main couple doesn't leave me heartbroken.

such an adorable pair, their love gives me nostalgia for something i never had, even though seasons r changing in this BL, it feels like spring all the time - warm & cozy with a soft breeze & dancing butterflies - magical feel. the more this feels like a dream i have this feeling that this got a sad ending. though Chen Ke was the one that narrated this ep, as opposed to the previous 2 that were narrated by Yu Lei, so let hope i am wrong & this just two old lover reminiscing about how their love started. *******************************************************************************************************************************btw i was kinda shocked that Li Ming got a gf, as i know he is gonna get paired with Yu Lei's friend. wonder how & when that's gonna get going as this only 8 eps (5 more eps) & if the focus was only on the mains i wouldn't mind & it's not like i suffer when we see the friendship between all the character's - i love Yu Lei's roommates, they adorable & have gotten so close, they make me smile. but then we got Zhang Han who keeps looking at Chen Ke, making me wonder if she will become a hurdle the mains gotta overcome? & what about He Jin - dude just weird & starting to wonder how big of a problem he gonna become by the end of this BL. hope he doesn't do anything to destroy the mains lives...

even though the vibe was laid back, u could feel the tension between the leads - the acting is solid, but that's to be expected with mature actors. ******************************************************************************************************************i like Azuma, he seems depressed & doesn't really have a direction in life - he is just existing but isn't bitter about it - he's cool - chill even & i like that small smile he always has. also love the fact that even though he is mooching off his sister, both her & her husband don't treat him like a moocher or a burden, he is just part of their family & the ambiance is very warm & caring in that house. heartwarming to watch - *****************************************************************************************************Kuji is harder to read, am still hung up on why he would "dine & dash" on Azuma the 1st time. but after coming to his rescue, i am 99% sure he messed up the books in that book case, just so he would have a reason to contact Azuma again & offer him a job. even though there weren't hints, u could still feel the tension in the air between them & am sure Kuji never initiated anything, cause of how he disappeared the 1st time & doubt he ever would if Azuma didn't take the lead. ************************personally i would still be holding a grudge on how he just up a left after the 1st time to ever suggest a 2nd, not if there was no apology or explanation. guess given Azuma's feeling unconnected to the world in general, he doesn't care & is looking for anything that would give him a momentary connection to something. really enjoyed this & can't wait for the next ep -

well that ending was unexpected, even though wondered if maybe Arthit would get in an accident & it would be a cliffhanger - but nope, we needed the weird twist where the other guy was such a sore loser, he brought his goons in the of chance he would lose(?), so they could beat the crap out of Arthit or beat him to death ?!?? how does that even work?!? they didn't care if they got away with it?!? what??? & why weren't Johan, North, Direk & Daotok waiting for him at the end line - especially as he won. ****************************************************************************************************************************************this ep was really fun & funny - would even say great until that whack ending. if u needed the "drama" for the finale of this storyline, why not make it so Arthit's car flipped & then u could say the other guy had his goons tamper with it - same out come, just plays out in a way that makes sense. until the weird end, i was thinking that this is my favorite pair, Arthit the bad-boy hasn't changed just cause he fell in love, yeah he has mellowed & can be childish & cute, but the bad-boy is always lurking & i think this is the best portrayal of a bad-boy falling in-love, i've seen in a BL (usually they morph into the regular ML) & Daotok who is fragile & soft spoken, isn't the typical pushover & will stand on business when need be. ************************************their interactions was a joy to watch & could get 10 more ep's of their "mating dance", they r fun. heck admit that in-spite of the whack ending this is my favorite romance in this series (North will forever be my MVP character, no one taking his place) but given all the other romance plot's, yeah this is the healthiest too date (still got the last romance plot - between Tiger & Nao that i am looking forward too from seasons 1) so we will see... but this was a fun ep until that ending - oh well

gotta start with that kiss, it was beyond sweet, it was dreamy & butterfly inducing i wanted it to keep going & going... the mains have great chemistry & am happy they didn't shy away from the kiss. just a pity it was all in Chu San mind little wonder he looked flustered (cause of the wet dream) & panicked cause of his feelings for Liu Yi (or the kiss). about sure he realized he was attracted to Liu Yi a while back, guess not still could understand his actions & behavior. after the wet dream lol *****************in Liu Yi's case i know he cares for Chu San very much & that's why he kept thinking up ways to get him in his gang & under him. he doesn't know another way of life & as he doesn't have another sister he can offer in marriage, getting Chu San into his gang would be his way of making him family. that's why i was sad for him, cause Chu San breaking the cup that contained Liu Yi's blood was like slapping him in his face & rejecting him. so am glad the woman in Liu Yi's gang told him about Chu San's past (even though i am sure Chu San told him that he had lost his mother cause of gangs & that's why his father is against them) guess there was more to that story - which makes me wonder who Chu San will end up being & will he be connected to someone high up in a gang. as there only 4 ep's left am wondering how they gonna end up together, if they even will. ***********& now with the addition of the 2nd couple - & given everything going on there, can u even call them a couple cause Guang Ming comes off shady as f*ck & have a feeling he approached Jia Hua knowing who he was & having an ulterior motive. that can turn into love, but given Guang Ming behavior, i doubt that's his plan. *******************************************************************4 more eps & not enough time for the plot (romance) to develop, but at an exhilarated pace which could turn into a rush job & a disaster of the last few eps - hope the writer & director know what they r doing.

what i want to know is how did Sailom's step-father know where he would be, or he just happened upon him cause he too was fishing & does this mean, he also lives in the same city?? if so wouldn't Sailom want to avoid that arear for fear he would/could encounter him? wish we would get more of a back story (& no i don't need more of the gorey details about how he was abused, what we do get is disturbing enough) i mean did he move to the US cause his mother found out? did he tell? r his mother & step father together, & he just left to study? **********************************************************************************************this whole ep from one scene to the next, was a freakin roller coaster ride; Nava is losing his sh*t cause he is dying & cause he finally found love - yet he doesn't know how to break it to Sky & am sure now he is finding the fact that he is gonna die, that much harder to accept cause he finally found love. **********************************************************************************& then we got Dindin, who doesn't have enough on his plate with the loan sharks, now his grandma gotta get sick adding to his financial burden. dude as is working around the clock as is - this freakin absurd. ***************************************************last but not least Nabnueng & his biological mother, that's remembered he exist cause she needs a favor?!?? personally if i was in his place i would've said "u weren't ready to be q mother then & i aint ready to be ur child now" end off - but he looks like a pushover so who knows how this gonna go. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************all i know this was a draining ep, sh*t just kept going wrong for everyone. but i guess there only 3 more eps left & a lot of ground to cover, so the eps need to be chalk full of drama - aish i need a drink after this ep lol

so Nava avoiding the call from the hospital & him mentioning death to Sky, am guessing he isn't just sick he is terminal - which is just freakin sad for both guys. they keep mentioning the word "friends" but u don't quit a job for a friend & u for sure don't get jealous for one, when he is doing his job. so am guessing this love-story gonna be a tragic one. unless Nava just isn't getting treatment, as the chance it would help is very low. so he just gave up & accepted his fate. but meeting Sky - who when finding out might push him to get the treatment, that will save his life & happily ever after? one can hope lol *****************************the 2nd couple or maybe it's just Tawan for whom foreplay is fighting?!?? so freakin weird - so he was basically "pulling" Dindin's hair in the hopes they would recreate the 1st night together & as Dindin wasn't "jumping him" he was getting more crazy, out of frustration?? really??? OMG *******************************************************************************************the mains couple (or the 1st couple) am guessing Nabnueng took his time & told Sailom he would be there for him, even though he's not the one that will treat him - is cause he isn't ready to admit that he is interested in him & ethically it wasn't allowed? he's worried he will spook Sailom? or he just isn't ready to confess, either way - it was dragged out & Sailom aint a child, he never heard of this being a no no ??? u don't have to go to therapy to know this fact - or so i thought. *****************************side note: why do i feel like all those children aint blood related & the mother (with her now deceased husband) adopted all the boys.

i feel bad for Nava & i shouldn't, regardless of how he feels he knew from the 1st sec they met, that Sky was a host & he would spend the night literally if not figuratively with the one that spent the most on him. so getting jealous, angry or sad not gonna change the situation, even if Sky reciprocates Nava's feelings. cause he is at his job. ***********************************************& for whatever reason Sky is funding his mother - who has 2 other grown ass sons, so how does she run that bakery/café?!? that a son that works as a host has to help her with the rent?!?? i don't that family dynamic at all & that was before the mysterious lady making the call asking about Nabnueng. he not blood related to that family?!? ***********************************btw mentioning Nabnueng i am very happy he didn't treat Sailom but referred him to the other psychiatrist working with him, cause if he plans to date him, he ethically can't treat & then date Sailom regardless of when they met. but i am happy that finally Sailom took the 1st step if getting help - about damn time. ******************************************************************the 3rd (or 2nd couple) i don't like Tawan, he doesn't work in that bakery/café but a bicycle shop - so Why the frack he always in that kitchen giving Dindin hell & making the life of the other workers miserable?!? cause if i was anyone of those workers, i would convince the others to go on strike & force that mother to take control of her maniacal son, if he works there, he works alone. like f*ck him & that job - there not enough money in the world to put up with his sh*t!.

thank f*ck for the last couple... yeah they not the typical couple & am sure they got their own baggage, but they ended up so wholesome & it's not that i don't like the other couples. it's just that i can't understand Sailom behavior or personality switches, it doesn't fit with a person that was traumatized sexually or physically as a child - or rather sometimes it does & others it doesn't & the other part that bothers me more is Nabnueng's way of handling or lack there of handling Sailom - as a psychiatrist he should've recognized Sailom's problem at 1st glance - at the 1st encounter & after the 2nd (as he did) he gently encouraged him to come see him at his clinic. but after that, no matter how many times he has bumped into Sailom he never thinks to push him into seeking help?!?? *********************************************************************************************btw the other thing that bugs me, Sailom spent his childhood in the US & never got treatment in the land of the mental health care?? where they send u to a shrink if u blink wrong?? let alone medicate u too the gills & Sailom never cause of his phobia was refereed to a psychiatrist??? plz. *****************************************************************************************************the 2nd couple didn't have much screen time so idk what to say - yeah they butting heads & all but wont say i am blown over by their chemistry
