i think i was right & Atom is also a basketball player & he will be Zen's rival. pity he didn't come clean, when he had a chance. now when it happens, it will come as a shock to Zen & what little friendship they have between them will end. romance alas never was to be... *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************regarding the kiss i aint as elated as everyone else, not when alcohol was involved. as is we have seen that the person to draw back & break whatever tension that was building, was Ryu. so he can claim he doesn't remember - also am sure he got the guts to kiss Zen, cause he saw how drunk he was & maybe he is hoping he wouldn't remember. time will tell i guess. but i don't think he is ready to face his feelings. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Lin isn't blind or stupid, she knows there is something between Ryu & Zen yet she isn't ready to give-up, which idk if it's good or bad. is she waiting for them to get together, then she will give-up or will she become a problem. also is First crushing on her? or i read that wrong.

Tong & Mark had great chemistry till the last moment & they had the looks, but that's doesn't make a good BL. i rolled my eyes so many times i am suffering from dizziness... i already said Tong should've been turned, when Mark understood that there was no escaping Thara's clutches. & even if he ran away (like Mark wanted in the previous ep) cause of his blood, he would forever be hunted cause his blood is attractive to vampires. but we needed the b.s. drama to get dragged on - oh well. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************the only character i was rooting for was Nakan, he was interesting & complex - he was well written. & still think Tonkla would've been the perfect character to be paired with him (taming the beast... yummy). but they decided to kill him off - given the writing, not shocked this is what we ended up with. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the writers had a good idea, but didn't know how to develop it so it would be good from start to finish. Mark (& even Nakan at the end of the previous ep) weren't capable of over powering a handful of Thara's men, but suddenly here they succeeded cause Wan helped?!? which mentioning her, have to say from the start we keep hearing how vampires lack all the senses, that make human's humane including emotion's, well for a bunch of emotionless vampires, they had a hell of a lot of emotion's lol.same with the constant reminder that the golden blood gives a vampire the power to kill other vampires, but Thara could kill Wan before consuming Ton's blood?!??? can keep going, but what does it matter - the end (thankfully). ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************this was fun for a one off, hope that Gawin & Joss's next project is better written. cause i started watching this for Gawin (who IMO is a good actor) & even though i though both character's were a bit 'slow' on a whole they did a good job.

the scene between the coach & Shogun brought teary to my eyes, he is such a sweetheart - i get so angry when the other players talk sh*t about him, just cause he has autism. & the fact Zen as the captain doesn't shut them up, annoys me. also love Jedi, another very loveable character. ************************************************************************************* ****************************************************************************************************************************************& i guess was wrong about Atom, even though him showing-up at Zen's house uninvited by Zen, still makes me wonder. but the fact he is making Ryu jealous is quite enjoyable. cause until now, he is playing hot & cold with Zen & Zen not the sharpest tool in the box. but u can see that he is getting whiplash from Ryu behavior. so sadly Atom will be the catalyst that will push Ryu to confess. *******************************************************************************************************************************but was right about Lin, she has a crush on Ryu & that gives her the right to butt her nosy into his business? poking her nose into his business, how that help him?!? it helps her for sure, to know more about him - but the only way one can help someone else, is when that someone ASKS for help! when they confide in u & tell u what happened, doesn't mean they r seeking a solution. but when they ask for help, then u can offer it. here cause she wants him, so she is digging - *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************regarding Que, i guess now the rift has gotten wider between him & Ryu. whatever reason was there for him to keep Ryu out of that boss's clutch's, has evaporated the sec that manic played russian roulette with him. also Ryu isn't making him money so the person that saved him will now put him in danger. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw he was beaten, starving & barefoot on the streets - WTF happened with his mother?!?? & he couldn't turn to Zen, am 110% sure his grandmother let alone Zen would welcome him with open arms. seriously need the backstory!

Ryu is courting trouble & idk what is going as am sure i didn't mistake the sexual tension between him & Que. & the boss is also after his ass - literally. so is Que keeping him from the boss, cause he wants Ryu to himself?!? either way Ryu is acting like he's his own man, while living under Que's roof. he still doesn't get that he can't do as he pleases?!? Que isn't family, that owes him sh*t. if he is supporting him & giving him room & board let alone an income - there is something he is getting out of this arrangement. if Ryu has decided not to play in the street games, he needs to move out & find somewhere else to be. ************btw if he come from money & assuming he is an only child, why his mother not care that her son is living the life he is living?!? need a lot of answers to questions i've got - *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the fact Zen was targeted isn't shocking, as Ryu introduced him to that life & as Que won't go after an adult, of course he would target someone younger - like Zen. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw i was sure the 12th player would be Atom, maybe he will be in a competing team - still don't get what his deal is. he is interested in Zen, that's for sure... but there is something about him that makes me suspect he's shady. maybe i am wrong - he for sure couldn't make Zen's grandmother trip & fall, that seemed like a coincidence. still there is more to him - just what idk...****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: have a feeling Lin has a crush on Ryu.

OMG but Zen needs to stop with the "huh" is he deaf or dumb, he keeps repeating that word all the freakin time - like he is slow or something. *************************************************************************************************************************& idk if Lin is crushing on Ryu, that's why she kept at her father to get him to join. but even her father saw his situation he should've realized that getting entangled with him was a bad idea. Ryu, Que let lone that revolting perverted Boss of theirs r all trouble. *******************************************************************************************************************************Ryu might have just chosen the wrong path, but that boss not gonna let him go easily - not when he's salivating over him. had a bad feeling about him in the previous ep & Que i guess is stalling, from giving him Ryu cause he knows what the boss will do to him & how it will break him. even though he had to go through that sh*t himself, he doesn't want to do that to Ryu, not while he is making him money - or maybe he genuinely sees him as a younger brother.... either way Ryu is way above his head & hasn't realized it yet. ************************************************************************************************************************ ****************************************************************************************************************************************also would love some backstory, what happened to Ryu, it's obvious that he has feelings for Zen - maybe his family threw him out, when he came out as gay?!? that's how Que met him & offered him a roof & a "job"?!?still now he's back in school - just means the "street" is gonna come into that school. this gonna get way way more complicated even dangerous, doubt that perverted boss is dangerous just cause he is an ass bandit.

interesting 1st ep, even though i have to say Zen's acting leaves much to be desired. also the long stares & not moving or saying anything is cringe & bad-acting - or directing - u chose. either way i hope this gets better - cause plot wise i am interested in learning more. ************************************************************************************************************************what is Ryu's backstory, why isn't he in school, why he living alone & is Que a friend or family. but found it ironic that he made out like he had a hard life, so he chose to be a street-basketball player (more like fight-club but basketball instead of fighting lol) when Zen's life aint easy. here dude's working, training or studying 24/7 & he didn't chose to live like Ryu. so what is Ruy on about. especially if they were bff's shouldn't he know about Zen's family situation?!? *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************both the director & new coach r good looking - about time we get some real hot older guys on screen. but Lin's father seem to have a problem, with alcohol or did i get that wrong?!? hope that doesn't hinger Zen's dream's for the success of the team. ****************************************************************************************************************************************also interesting to see Frank as Atom, guess he is gonna be the 2ML. guessing - *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: the café is the same one from The Eclipse, right? just the name is changed - think even the one running it is the same. cute

considering how short this is, was sure that the only drama we will get is Best & Dew fighting their attraction & not knowing how, if or when to confess. didn't expect it to go this south in this last ep. **********************************************************was happy Fern got her moment to come clean & explain why she was suddenly ghosting Dew. as i've always pointed out, just cause u developed feelings for ur bff, it's NOT ur bff's fault & ghosting them is unfair. so was happy that the confrontation happened & was going to be happy, that she said she didn't want to lose their friendship. that was until her f*cked-up move with Dew's mother. it wasn't her place to out him!!! & adding insult to injury, by saying it's a pity ur moving so far, b*tch it was cause of u!!! the fact that Dew was unsuspecting of how she stabbed him in the back & will always think of her as a good friend & a good person, is infuriating! *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** also don't get Dew's mom gaslighting him into distancing himself from Best & more or less trying to make him promise, that he will forever live his life in the closet. so she will be happy with the fake facade her son will create, marring some poor unsuspecting woman & living miserably???- but as long as she is happy. all is good?!??? ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************ this was freakin depressing... War couldn't confess cause Dew didn't create the right environment, that would encourage one to do so & yet with his message at the end, he made it clear to Best, that he knew. idk what i feel other then sad. ironic that the pair that will come out of this BL, is Deff & Ray (who didn't have an intrusive friend or a tiger mom that would get involved to tear them apart) ugh... this too sad for a rewatch. but loved War, as i knew i would -

the main problem when watching something that isn't ibn ur mother-tongue is that when the translation is lacking u r left wondering what was said/written & how crucial it was to understanding the plot. the ep's i've found have a tone of dialogue & text not translated. so i am guessing at someone of the points that were made & yet missed by me... *****************************& yet this was cute - as i said in the previous ep, Best is very talented & loved tht he was able to finish the song & sing it for Dew. also loved how helpful & encouraging his friends r. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************pity Fren gotta also be in-love with Dew & now that she has realized that there is something between Dew & Best. what is gonna be her next move?!? get between them? or cut her losses & move on....

cute start, really loving Best's bff's - they really good friends & funny too. there were a few cringy moments, but on a whole love this budding romance plot. & as started watching this for War, i am a happy camper. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: idk why he keeps saying he is good at nothing or that he sucks at everything, dude can play the guitar, can write a song & probably sing - i can't do either of those things.... that for sure requires talent.

Thiwa saying at the end that he had Noey's heart all along, amounts to what(?) when he NEVER came out & told Noey that he loved him - EVER - while Noey told him he loved him, how many times?!?? *********************************************************sadly i already knew in the previous ep that Thiwa wouldn't show any growth. he passively sat around waiting for Noey to do all the work & when he thought Noey gave up. did he try & fight for the person he loved? nope, he gave up too.even when Noey showed-up at his door, he rather push him away in anger cause his ego was hurt, didn't even think why has Noey driven for who knows how long, just to come see me - even when Thiw told him that his father was the cause, behind Noey's lie. did he rush to accept Noey's heart? seeing that Noey was hurting, he still just stood there waiting for Noey to keep apologizing & promising his undying love. should i rejoice that he finally hugged him? *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************if this was only Noey story, this would be perfect as his character showed growth, he wasn't the shallow, narcissist at the start that had nothing on his mind, other then his ginormous ego. by the end u saw how much he changed & grew, that he was a strong, hardworking loving person that would work hard for the people he loved & cared for. his ego wasn't that big & he could apologize & show a softer side to the people he loved. heck he, his family & friends really made this BL fun to watch.alas there not an MC here, there r 2 leads & while one did all the work the other say around like a spectator reaping all the rewards, for Noey's hard work. how this supposed to make me happy?!?? **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************on a whole this was hilarious & fun until ep 10 where it was obvious that only 1 character was carrying this BL on his shoulders, while the other was just a bystander... if only Thiwa acted his age & wasn't a passive, airheaded character till the end, this would've been so much better. oh well - still enjoyed this cause of Noey, Thiw (ironically) & the rest of the side character's.

Noey told his mother "...no matter what it takes, he is gonna prove himself to Thiwa's parents...", pity she couldn't tell her son that the one that needs to prove himself is Thiwa!*********************************************************************************** Thiwa is the reason she got stabbed, Thiwa is the reason Noey abandoned his friends not once but twice & he suffered cause of it - now he is all alone. he thought he would at least have Thiwa, but he is left alone cause Thiwa the backboneless moron is incapable of standing up for himself, how the heck he gonna do it for Noey or their budding relationship?!? **********************glad Noey's younger sister told Thiwa's parents to f*ck off cause her mother needed to rest... they were just being rude - ******* ****************************************************************************************************************************************also getting really tired of Thiwa's inner dialogue, f*cker can have whole conversations with Noey in his mind, but to actually verbalize his true feelings, give Noey the affirmation & encouragement he needs - so he knows this aint one sided... too much to ask?!? ****************************************************************************************************************************** that's why think that end & Noey telling him, he had enough of Thiwa being Pam's stand in & he is gonna go back to wooing her - was a chef's kiss. it was the perfect 'slap in the face' Thiwa needed. cause sorry (not sorry) but him just sitting around waiting for Noey (the younger person in the relationship) to do all the heavy lifting, as if he is so fragile & handicapped emotionally, he can't meet him halfway, was doing my head in. ************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************sadly i doubt in the next (last) ep he's gonna suddenly change & turn into a go-getter, someone that will show Noey that he is ready to conquer his demons & work as hard to be with him as Noey is working - that it aint all one sided. but i kinda know what i am dealing with, as he is the 'bottom' he is forever to be the damsel in distress that wont lift a finger. it will be Noey running after him, showing how much he is willing to sacrifice, how much he loves him... ugh - ************************************bummer as until ep 10 (until the promise & Thiw informing Noey that the gang was in trouble) this was really fun & entertaining, so much so could ignore Thiwa's stupidity. still hope the next ep is a perfect ending & not only Noey shows growth as a character, but so does the half-wit, but don't have high hopes....

this was a cute & fun ep, until the fair or rather until Noey's gang member Thiw came to tell him there was trouble. Thiwa, stopped Noey from going cause of the promise he demeaned & what happened after that was Thiwa's fault! if Noey had gone to help his gang members, the other gang wouldn't have gone in search of Noey, reaching his family & creating that mess in his house. & what did Thiwa do, hide behind 2 women ?!??? if i was Noey i would be seriously pissed... ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************anytime there is a drama/movie that has got a "bad-boy" that falls in-love with an average human, they demands that the "bad-boy" give up their life of "crime" & the usual outcome is that the "bad-boy" sufferers. cause when u live a thug-life, the regular rules don't apply to u. just cause u had enough or u call it quits, doesn't mean the other bad-guys gonna say - fine u free to live a normal life. this trope is tedious & annoying to watch, cause what the regular human is doing is being selfish & not really thinking about the person that they have fallen for, if they did - they would get that quitting cold turkey isn't an option, not if the person they love is gonna survive, let alone live... *******************************************************************************there's no black & white answer, for sure no quick fixes regarding how to get out of the messy life, they lead before meeting u. but it for sure takes time & a lot of brains to maneuver themselves out of the clutches of the "under word". just making them promise to not be violent anymore, will only put them in harms way. this a stupid move, but Thiwa wasn't really that smart to begging with - ironic considering he keep tutoring student's. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: IMO Phayu is the best looking guy to date. not that i think others look bad or anything, but he the 1st one that i did a double take on lol. he is candy for my eyes - just saying

the balls Noey got on him OMG, the dude doesn't give a sh*t about anyone - if he wants something he goes for it. i am kinda impressed by how he confessed to Thiwa in front of everyone. he didn't give a damn what they would say or how they would react - the only person he saw was Thiwa. kinda impressed & even envious of Noey's strong personality & conviction. bravo.****************************************************************************************************************************************btw idk why anyone was shocked - the group around, gasping - like dude's been openly sending Thiwa air kisses & hearts, even saying romantic sh*t that u wouldn't say to a friend, let alone a guy that was tutoring u, unless u have a crush on them as Noey has. the little kid was the only one with a commonsensical reaction - as it was obvious & funny, not shocking & weird.

ok, so what happened from one ep to the next or from night to the morning, where Thiwa ended-up on the bed... lol i didn't think this could get any weirder & Noey's idea to woo a smart collage student is to take him on a date to see him fight?!? what??? this ridiculous! ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but they kinda funny - or rather m finding Noey wooing Thiwa adorable, he is so sweet & funny. get why Thiwa can't help but smile & fall for him. & of course we needed the catalyst (in the form of the basketball player) to make Noey jealous & go all out not caring who sees him act the fool-in-love. this is so funny & fun *****************************************************************

idk of any gang members hanging around holy places, the way Noey & his gang r in & around temple's 24/7. it's kinda absurd - fitting for this BL(?) i guess... & that whole scene with the guys in drag was hilarious - especially when u notice that Noey & his whole gang r in wigs - they funny. ****************************************************************************************************Thiwa can't help revert to his moronic self around Noey, but it was less so in this ep. still that laugh OMG dude needs to stop with it. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************& i get Pam not wanting to date period, let alone someone that acts like a thug. but i don't get that dude with glasses coming to rescue her, when the last time he basically sold her out to Noey. his intervention wasn't needed & Pam isn't mute - it's time she just tells Noey no. or something other then standing there looking at him, but not responding.
