everyone is scheming not just against Yi Heon & ironically their own country. this is how countries fall when their own citizens sell it out for personal gain. what i don't get is Queen Dowager In Ju, i get she doesn't have a great relationship with her grandson but undermining him isn't the way to warm up their relationship. ********************************************************btw i get Ji Yeong is a michelin star chef but it's kinda getting annoying when she uses foreign words, it's as if there no words in Korean to express what it's called in English or French. like the freakin butter - Korea doesn't have butter therefore haven't thought up a word for it?? it might have been cute at the start but now she isn't still acclimating to the fact she is in a different time period. she didn't want to tell Yi Heon about the future cause she didn't want to change the past & yet her introducing dishes that they haven't been thought up at that time for sure not in Korea not an issue? cause it's just food??? plz - nitpicking i know but it's bugging me *************************************************************************************************************also always find it hypocritical how bad guys blame innocent's - like Prince Je San telling Mok Ju that once they achieve their goal he will give her Ji Yeong, so she can do what she wants with her. Ji Yeong is just a freakin innocent bystander that has never hurt them & isn't even there of her free will but so what if a few hundred die - right? & they supposedly seeking justice - plz with the gaslighting & lies.

Ji Yeong is funny, she knows Mok Ju is dangerous & yet she wants to buttheads with her?!? it's not like Mok Ju will just exchange b*tchy words. she gets angry she will kill her (which she ironically has already been plotting & the only things Ji Yeong had done was to exist lol) . Ji Yeong was smart enough not to tell Yi Heon about the future (not only cause she didn't want to change the future) but cause she didn't know how he would react to all that info. but with Mok Ju she is playing with fire.

everyone's holding a grudge against everyone & i really don't know who is in the right or justified on their path for vengeance. automatically u side with Yi Heon cause he was a child who saw his mother being dragged way to her death - so he wants the people involved to pay. but Mok Ju? Queen Dowager In Ju? & Prince Je San what is their grievance (well in the Queen Dowager In Ju case the estrangement from Yi Heon - the passive aggressive attitude, butting heads with him. is that his fault? or does she have an agenda too

Mok Ju is a piece of work, considering he back ground i get her not caring about Yi Heon (the King) or anyone in power but her ability to condemn anyone to the suffering's she experienced is mindboggling to me. the only person she cares for is Prince Je San & she is ready to do anything to anyone for him to reach his goal. hard to understand or sympathize with her. but ironically or not i dislike Queen Dowager In Ju even more. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw mentioning Yi Heon - the King, i have yet to see food porn done as well as when the dude eats what Ji Yeong cooked for him. it's not that he makes u hungry - well not for food lol

all crazy people & ironically (other then Ji Yeong & the sweet innocent Gil Geum) everyone kinda on the spectrum of bad to worse. everyone has their own agenda & both Ji Yeong & her side kick Gil Geum r thrown into the middle off all this cold war. i just hope that by the end neither pays the price for their innocence - even though Ji Yeong not as innocent & she also has prior knowledge about the past which should/could help her navigate this whole situation better.. or so i hope ************************i know Mok Ju is bad cause she is in cahoots with Prince Je San who basically saved her life, so she owes him but the fact she is also in bed with him quite literally is grossing me out

this was fun & funny. i didn't know how much i would like it & i hope Ji Yeong remains as feisty as she is here & not turns into the usual damsel in distress. even though there were moments that bothered me on a whole this was so entertaining that everything that did bug me isn't relevant. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************i really like Park Sung Hoon & i think he would be the perfect tyrant king but sadly just cause of a comment he lost this role. bummer but Lee Chae Min has done a good job so far & usually the age gap between him & Lim Yoon A would bother me, but somehow it doesn't. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also was over joyed to see Kang Han Na anotehr favorite actress of mine, love her in anything so i know she will bring her A-game (sadly i know she a "bad-guy" so i guess will love to hate her lol). anyway waiting until this finished airing now i just hope this will be worth the wait.

interesting dynamic between Kataoka & Odajima... also how sex is regard here is kinda weird - there no rules & everything goes. guess this the world of the Yakuza, hard to wrap my head around it - as i don't know how a love/romance would come of it. well not a healthy, loving one - but given who they r & why the have been put together, i guess asking for anything healthy let alone happy is a reach ****************************************************************************************************************wondering if Asahi wasn't just Odajima's bff but lover(?) or 1st one sided love. either way hope now that he is taking Kataoka to Asahi 's home town/island we get answers & it isn't dragged until the end. ******************************************************side note: Odajima looks way better with black hair - that blonde isn't working IMO.

well this was interesting & shockingly good - am shocked cause this kinda dark, the SA that is treated as nothing makes me so uneasy & i don't get why anyone would want to join an organization, where when u start from the bottom basically means u r gonna get treated like a "bottom" or worse like a toy, that gets used & abused sexually. & idk why but have a feelings Odajima was abused at home & that's why he murdered his father & mother. so going from one bad situation, to a worse one is kinda depressing IMO. **********************************************************************************************************************personally i would wanna murder Kirii more then Kataoka. even though given the hierarchy i guess if he does, he wouldn't stand a chance of living after. so he gotta follow orders even if said orders will get him killed - the irony in this is mindboggling. *****************************************************************************************************************************************mentioning Kataoka, dude is such a character hard to dislike him, but that also makes him that much more terrifying, with Kirii he is mean but u can see that & he is lot of ego too, so u know that he's the type that relies more on his henchmen to do the dirty work. while that isn't the case with Kataoka he will go from joking to killing in a milliseconds & the scary part he wont lose his smile. but he more trustworthy (i know the irony - a Yakuza being trustworthy is a ridiculous notion like the honor part he mentioned - doesn't compute in my mind...) & yet he is someone i would pick, if the choice was between him & Kirii. ************still we gotta wait & see why Odajima chose to not act on the opportunity & what he wants to know from Kataoka.

if i was Khem i would move to that field where the Holy Monks were slaughtered, there no way Ramphueng would be able to get to him there. & until now this was the 1st time someone didn't just stop her but actually hurt her. but of course that not gonna even be an option. oh well will just sit & wait this out - see how things unfold ***********************************************what i didn't expect was the 2nd couple not just kissing but consummating the start of their relationship this fast. personally would've loved a slow build up so we see the whole wooing stages, but given how much times is spent on Khem being cringe i guess "they" needed to fast-forward Jet & Chan's relationship. but will say that they got mad chemistry & were r sweet & entertaining as i knew they would be... (but when i wrote entertaining i didn't mean the sexually loaded scenes - but just together they fun).********************************************************************************************************************btw i don't get Peem giving Phrima false hope. even if he wasn't interested in Khem given his profession & who her fathers is (someone that robbed his father, got him in debt which made him flee the country & abandon Peem) there no way he could marry into that family. so why do that to someone he calls a friend?!?

Khem is a really annoying character, in the previous ep he was throwing himself a pity party cause he was useless. & then what does he do add to everyone's troubles by following Yod - when he knows he got a she-devil after his ass. but master berating him, telling him he just cause trouble wasn't enjoy or a warning to try & avoid sh*t... dude is so annoying he beelines for any one pothole... idk why writers & producers find this type of character endearing. IMO this type of moron that can't find his ass with his own two hands is insufferable. idk why Jet is still his friend or what Peem wants to help him. yeah he says no but u can see that there is a part of him (since he was a teen & 1st came across Khem) he wanted to help him. **********************************the main bummer there wasn't enough of Chan & Jet -******************************************************************************btw i don't get how or why an avenging spirit go more powers then a snake spirit god & even before he lost a scale dude backed down & allowed her to stay on the mountain - like what gives?!? also would really like if someone started question who she is & how she is connected to the OG Khemjira.

so was right & the chick from 1939 was current day Khem & am guessing her bff's (that were a couple on the downlow) one of them is the spirt with the grudge. but what did Khemjira do to her friends? as is she seemed really sicky, cause she had a heart condition & then Phawat going off to war, just made her sicker. so why was her lineage cursed?!? ********************************but pleasantly surprised that Peem hasn't broken & started to cater to Khem's every request just cause he keeps making cow-eyes at him, already refreshing the mold is being broken for the usual tropes. *****************************************************still find the coincidence that they were all connected in a past & their lives r still intertwined & the fact ghost stalking Khem is Phawat's/Peem's younger brother is weird. also would be nice to know why it's cool that spirits hanging around & not passing on/reincarnating. not to mention this camping trip Jet & Khem's group r on - there a timeline for it?? weeks? months? **************************************************************************************************************************************************really enjoying the 2nd couple Chan & Jet r so enjoyable & likeable. they bring a smile to my heart - wish there was more of them.

the reason i take breaks from Thai BL's is how the "bottom" is usually portrayed - it's like, cause he is supposedly the "FL" the usual trope of the damsel in distress is the prototype for who "she" must be - to be worthy of being the lead, as then the ML can be her knight in shining amour (more like bodyguard, personal assistant & caregiver all rolled in one). this trope is getting tedious & cliché in straight dramas, why would i enjoy it when i watch BL's?!? ******************************************************say what u will, Khem is not just male he is 20 yrs old(!) not a child & yet he walking around like he's this fragile new-born foal that keeps tripping over his own feet most of the time, taking timid steps while speaking or doing anything & watching this is doing my head in. i just keep time skipping & ironically nothing much happens, cause the dude keeps giving those long ass stares & silence's as if they supposed to add to the dramatic effect - but the scene is nothing of the sort. bottom line this ep was though to sit through. & had to rewatch some parts cause i was worried what i missed like the time jump to 1939 (or was ot 1949) either way how this connected to the present & the ghost in the end that called Peem "Phawat" i have yet to find out - guess we will see... & was the chick that climbed up the tree Khem in a previous incarnation?!? ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but i really like Chan, there was a sec where i was worried we would get another annoying trope of the triangle where Chan is the 2nd ML that will be left heart broken as Khem will end up with Peem. but thankfully Chan is gonna get paired with Jet & i already love they bickering back & forth. can't wait for more.

there r things that i liked & others the i liked less, but for a 1st ep there was a ton of info & not a boring moment. 1st off Khem is cute personality wise, not just looks wise but i wanted to shake him a couple of times. given the life he has been leading, one would think he would be a bit more rushed to haul ass when in a weird situation. but he's kinda passive for a guy that is actively being haunted & hunted by ghosts. **************************************************************************************************also given his curse, one would think he wouldn't be leading a normal life & like his father would chose to stay in a holy place where he would get maximum protection - but then i guess no BL...

i am amazed at how Sheng has just glossed over what Hua Yong did to him (not once but twice), they suddenly in the honeymoon faze & i am left wondering... WTF - but i guess if it's written this way - logic & common sense not gonna intervene lol... & as per usual i am the odd one out, so whatever. *******************************************************************************but i didn't get why Hua Yong who is so obsessed & possessive of Sheng (after his secretary investigated / well tortured the guys that kidnapped Sheng) knowing who was behind it, allowed Shao Qing to not only get close to Sheng once - but then went along with him to that dinner. i get he wanted a reason to finish Shao Qing off once & for all - but it was dragged out & unnecessary IMO - but i also (throughout this ep) was wondering if we would get a glimpse of Guo (who is the only character that i like) & as there only 2 eps more, i feel kinda bummed that there wasn't more of his storyline. ******************************cause IMO the 2nd couple r much more interesting & entertaining (Shen makes me laugh at how incompetent he is at being emotionally vulnerable with the one he truly loves). ********************************************************************************as Hua Yong is a nutter & Sheng idk why he has turned so submissive in regards to someone that has gaslit & manipulated him until now. & saying 'i loved u for ages' doesn't make it ok - if anything it that much more scary - but what do i know.

Hiroshi can't bring himself to apologize or at least say the words 'sorry' & as Natsuo didn't ever hurt him, Hiroshi was in the wrong all along. ***********************************************************************************************************************his reactions to Natsuo as a teen were his own insecurities, cause he didn't fit in with anyone in that school - so the only person that got close to him, he (Hiroshi not knowing how to deal / show he wanted to be close to Natsuo) chose to see his presence as negative - thus no need to try & open up or see Natsuo as a good person. he could be his introverted, antisocial self & it would be justified, cause everyone (including Natsuo) bad bullies. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************even in the present, he reacted as i expected. his ex-classmates insulted & made fun of him behind his back & he chose to run away. but he couldn't run away from Natsuo, so he did what he does best, he lashed out & not only insulted Natsuo's (even though now he knew that Natsuo got close to him, when they were teens cause he liked him) past advances as disgusting, but he tried to then SA him?!? what revenge was he getting & on whom?!? when he was in the wrong!!! **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************as this was the last ep, it was gonna get solved ASAP cause no 2nd season planned - but am i happy? idk if i could be cordial or polite towards someone that tried to assault me. but i guess between two men it's fine?!? idk why SA isn't a issue when portrayed in same sex relationships in BL's - personally i think that's a f*cked up messages to promote - but it is what it is. this was fine & i really liked Natsuo, very much so... he was a hyper, golden retriever full of love & trust, from start to finish & he deserved better IMO. but it is what it is & the end. a one off for me -
