The Story of Bi Hyeong: Enchanted Master of the Goblin Episode 7
0 people found this review helpful
interesting place to stop, but i am sure Geum Bok is gonna ask Bi Hyeong if he likes Ji Gwi. which will be funny. but have to say Gil Dal is so earnest, i don't like Ji Gwi playing mind games with him, it's like kicking a puppy. also the she-ghost, am sure some other bad-guy (we have yet to see) released her as Bi Hyeong had her tied up when Geum Bok said he was worried about seeing ghosts at night. hope the bad-guy is someone new & not someone we know who is gonna back stab the mains

after the previous ep, where i was sure this would have a sad ending, i am happy to be wrong & the mains r together at the end. BUT this ep doesn't a finale, not unless there is a 2nd season in the makings.. there too many open ends - IMO. am glad Odajima bought his freedom, but the fact Keito had the balls to call it a family. let alone himself a parent/father was disgusting & also PTSD inducing (given Odajima's family) yet he left & i find it weird that he didn't talk to Kataoka about it - if for no other reason then to realize, that the guy that ended up murdering Asahi was the same guy Keito sent to stab & then shoot Kataoka. so the one at fault for Asahi's murder is Keito, but the f*cker has now inherited the place of his father & is sitting at the top of the "family" meaning he is untouchable... ***********************************************************************************************also is Kataoka still on the run?!? if he aint, then he on vacation?!? as a member of the yakuza, he needs to earn & offer his share weekly to the head. so him running of to have a honeymoon with Odajima wont matter to the new boss - Keito. who already warned Odajima not to come before him, idk there a lot of open ends & that is frustrating to me. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but on a whole this was really well made, loved the acting & the plot too (even though it was kinda brutal & raw), there was no sugar coating to the life in a yakuza & how the hierarchy works - how the subordinates get treated. even the romance that we got, wasn't the typical lovey dovey sh*t we r used too - it was jaded & harsh with no sweet nothings.... as Kataoka is a man of few words, idk if what has developed between him & Odajima can be called love, or how long it will last. *************************but as this is the end i guess i will never find out, unless i check out the manga (which i have a feeling might be a harsher version of what we saw & then idk if i have the stomach for that..) so i'm left guessing. oh well this was great, even if the end left me wanting...

glad that this time Geum Bok didn't get duped by the agent. was worried there for a sec he would conned again (even though the 1st time it was his grandfather that got conned). still he comes off like the ultimate pushover so happy to see him not falling for the conman or for Ji Gwi's flirting. ***********************************************************************************************still wondering where this is going as i haven't yet seen Geum Bok becomes Bi Hyeong's “spirit lunchbox” i thought it would be like a vampire feeding off his victim's blood - something psychical. so what Geum Bok just needs to be near Bi Hyeong?!? don't get it.

reading the description one would think (or i did) that Geum Bok has 3 guys circling him, they all want him & then he will choose one (the main ML). but that aint right, Ji Gwi has feelings for Gil Dal & am sure that the reason he attacked Bi Hyeong was out of jealous, cause of how loyal Gil Dal is to Bi Hyeong & stuck to him. ******************************************************Gil Dal on his part does like Ji Gwi, but cares for Bi Hyeong & cause Ji Gwi hurt Bi Hyeong, he distanced himself from Ji Gwi. maybe cause he was a stone he isn't aware of his own feelings. & Ji Gwi doesn't seem to get this as he is trying to woo Geum Bok in the hopes of hurting or making Gil Dal jealous - haven't figured that out yet. ***********************************************the only one "after" Geum Bok is Bi Hyeong, who cause of his past (master) is scared there will be a repeat to what happened in the past so he is keeping Geum Bok at arms length.

Geum Bok is absurdly innocent, anyone his age would get that Ji Gwi was a flirt from the 1st sec he set eyes on him. dude doesn't nothing by flirt & he has up her filtration levels in the car. for someone what dreamt that Gil Dal wanted him to pay with his body for letting him stay at their place for free, Geum Bok is absurdly naïve

Gil Dal got a hot body & a innocent personality, wonder when he crossed paths with Ji Gwi. & why he left him to follow Bi Hyeong. or did they have a one night stand & Ji Gwi who usually tosses people aside after using them, got tossed aside & that's why he can't get over Gil Dal?!?

bummer the eps r so short cause as it was getting good it ended. personally the start wasn't my cup of tea not enough the poor grandfather got scammed, Geum Bok who seems like an innocent babe that is just learning how to walk get confronted by the buffoon calling him a stalker. then he goes & gets robbed when he is asleep in the streets. only to the get bullied by a couple of kids - & a return of the hulking buffoon... the kiss & the strip show was the highlight of the ep - cause it made me laugh. ********btw wondering was Bi Hyeong the one that stole Geum Bok's shoes & coat?!? or that zoom in wasn't relevant to the plot

given they both working in the same profession of course sooner or later they would audition for the same role. the fact neither thought about this possibilities is weird. but Yuki reverting to his old self was mad - like fair u wanna be on equal footing with Asami. but making rules to exist in the same house but not interact until the end of the audition's is crazy. IMO. & Asami is being understanding cause he is in-love & will go along with anything as long as it means Yuki wont abandon him like his father did. guess change takes time, but Yuki needs to stop with the insecurities, especially when they end up hurting the one he loves so much. find a batter way to do with his insecurities.

Keita is trying to come off friendly but he suspicious as f*ck. as Yuki doesn't seem to recognize him i wonder why Keita looks like he is holding a grudge - did Yuki get a job he wanted?!? or he just jealous that Yuki is successful & he thinks he is better looking & more talented & should be the one shining?!? will have to wait & see. ***************************************************regarding the main's i get moving in together & their jobs keep the busy 24/7 - so when they r together they focus on themselves. & yet it is weird to me that they never talk about something they r existed about or a new role they r auditioning for or the director they really work for... then they both wouldn't have gotten blindsided as they did - meeting to audition for the same role...

am glad the little hurdle that came their way, didn't make them 'trip & fall' especially Yuki, i was worried he would go back to his self-conscious ways, where he would close in on himself & run the other way, leaving Asami "for his own good" this time around he didn't do what was best, but thought about what was best for them (as a couple) & is stronger in his own skin. really a joy to watch.

just rewatched the 1st season & this 1st ep feels like there wasn't a break between the 1st & 2nd season. that no time passed at all & i like this feeling, it's very organic & seems like real life & not a drama/BL. the mains r still in their honeymoon period which make's me smile & Yuki seems like (almost) a different person, he isn't the introverted tightly wound character that seemed like he would span at any moment (in the 1st season). being with Asami has done him the world of good. ***************so sad that at the end Asami's manger is gonna come between them. already in the 1st season there was a evil-witch aspect about her, that never was utilized, guess it is this season lol ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but wondering who the tall good-looking dude was & what his deal is, does he know Yuki??

cute & all but have to say Haruka's overreacting was killing the buzz. her always falling over her own two feet to not make the person she loved, feel obligated, constantly apologize & be overly grateful was really too much for me. i get this more of a societal thing - where the women dress & act this way - or this is how they need to act & look. either way to a average person like m, it feels a bit cartoonish & immature. but on a whole everything worked out & they got a happily ever after so that was cute. even though i would've liked Hikaru's parents to do the right thing by their son, by the end. ********************************didn't get the need to see Keisuke & Mio, when Keisuke is supposedly dating someone else. very weird choice plot route for the finale IMO. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also i find it so weird the closed mouth kisses & the almost sterilized romantic scenes, when u have BL's coming out of Japan where it hardcore erotica - i don't get this dichotomy. oh well it is what it is. glad it was short cause if this was longer, i wouldn't be able to stomach Haruka's insecure, self deprecating attitude. she lucked out in that Hikaru cause of his crossdressing & parents objection's, was similar to her & could appreciate her ready acceptance of his true self, without a need for change or any judgment. which made him accept her without the need to take advantage of her hang-ups.

Keisuke is really good looking (this just an observation i needed to make lol). but i didn't get what was the point at the end. it's not like Hikaru is partying. he is at a new job where he needs to prove himself & will have to work his ass off until he is recognized by his boss, as worthy of getting hired. the fact Haruka is sad she hasn't yet realized what her dream is, neither here nor there. she has time, she is a collage student & that means she has all the time in the world to think about what she wants to become once she graduates. that is the point of collage & universities - not just the degree's & the studies, but seeing what u want to do with ur life when u graduate. *********************************************************************************************but i guess as there was one more ep to go, we needed some pointless drama - especially if going by the last ep's preview Keisuke is gonna turn to Mio. ********************************************************************************************************but liked the interaction between Haruka's mother & Hikaru, the fact she wasn't worried but happily accepted Hikaru was very sweet & open minded of her. pity Hikaru's parents haven't tried to reach out & mend bridges

after all that floundering they finally made it by the end & even though they were both insecure & uncertain about the others feelings - watching Haruka's behavior was painfully cringe. so am glad she was the one to got seek out Hikaru & she also initiated the want for intimacy. still bothers be that she keeps running to Mio for advice - but it is what it is & she doesn't seem to be two-faced where she is again planning something behind Haruka's back.
