estar didn't think the 1st ep would be this depressing, i get why "the people" want freedom, let alone wanna over throw the monarchy, but how bloody that is - seeing it, is a bit disconcerting. cause i can see both sides & there is no right or wrong. even though i am pretty sure General Kalong is totally on a power trip, there is no justification in executing the royals. that feels like over kill, not to mention he's talking about rules & regulations - some how, i feel like all of that is made up by him & he is taking immense pleasure in demeaning the royals, cause of some personal grudge. *******************************************************regarding Prince Saenkaew i feel for him, but i also see how desperate his father is, yeah manhandling ur son isn't the way to go but there is no other go for their family, as this isn't about his position or power it's about his families survival. so i can't fault him for the decision he came to, desperate times calls for desperate measures. (which makes me wonder how this gonna turn out as Prince Saenkaew can't marry Sasin, so what Pin gonna be the "beard"?!?) **************************************************& ironically Pin is in a similar situation, yeah she has a crush on Prince Saenkaew, but is that gonna help her in the long run?!? (the fact i know how this gonna turn out, makes me feel sorrier for her then Prince Saenkaew). the fact Sasin was actively flirting with Prince Saenkaew on the bridge, in the car - while Pin was oblivious to what was under her nose, is making me uneasy. he knows Prince Saenkaew is his cousins intended - he should know better. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: Prince Kamfa shouldn't have given the trunk with the jewels & gold to his son for safe keeping, he should've given it to his mother - idk but have a bad feeling that the airheaded Saenkaew is gonna get robbed. *************************************also am 99% sure that the one in cahoots with General Kalong is Inthra, Prince Kamfa's younger brother. the has "bad guy" written all over him.

happy end. am glad that they finally communicated & made up. this was short but sweet & i know there wasn't time for the other couple from 1st Page but as they were a whole friend group i wish there was some hint of the other friend & not suddenly erase him & turn Ji Su into some buddy. maybe i am nitpicking but if this a sequel then i need some consistency - but cute all in all

hmm weird that they chose to make it like Jae Hyeon didn't know Han Ji Su, when in First Page it came off like the friend group knew each other & after being together for 7 yrs - there NO way Jae Hyeon wouldn't know U Jin's friends. that's just absurd. but it was sweet how caring & supportive Ji Su is of his bff. & glad Jae Hyeon realized he took U Jin for granted - something that happens in long term relationship's. as i keep saying from the start they BOTH need to learn how to communicate

only when i saw Han Ji Su (played by Jung) did i realize, that the reason i recognized the mains is cause i saw the prequel to this BL; First Page (which i really liked) so seeing the lack of communication on both parts is sad. but sometimes u don't know how to verbalize what u truly want to say, cause it seems obvious or needy... u can't fault one or the other, as both guys aren't communicating in this relationship. the break-up was a given the way both were behaving.

1st off glad to see actors i recognize from other BL's, i guess this trends starting Korea too, even though i wish it wouldn't - as if this an inferior part of the industry - cause then these actors will have a hard time finding jobs in the "regular" industry. i hate that sh*t. but still happy to see the mains. *******************************************************************************************regarding the character's it obvious that as a lot of long term relationships the communication starts to diminish - which is weird as it should be the opposite, if anything that part of the relationship should get stronger, being able to chare & communicate better with ur other half. but people don't work that way - always - so the sec the romance dwindled so did the need for communication - which is sad. makes u wonder if a love reset is the way to go. time will tell

this was a bit better cause at least there was some progress in showing how they felt. still would want to know why Cheng Hai's past relationship ended. but i guess it doesn't really matter as we about the mains getting together or something... more like a will they, wont they. ************************************************************************************************************btw liked Ye Cheng Yun's co-worker another good looking guy.

this ep felt like filler, a lot went over my head was i wasn't focused on what was going on - cause it was boring ugh - hope the next ep gets better & there is some type of meaningful dialogue where they might talk more about themselves... the work stuff while a plot-point isn't that stimulating

another one of these short Chinese BL's that has 2 or 3 actors at the max, all shot in a Japanese house - probably all filmed in japan. makes u wonder how many of these actors went on this filming trip & how many BL's were made. recognized the actor playing Cheng Hai from Lost in Kyoto , while i don't recognize the other actor - but he is a beauty. *******************************the plot is interesting - well there isn't much of a plot. but have to say eating spoilt yogurt won't give u a fever, u for sure will suffer from diarrhea, heck even explosive diarrhea, which by the end will leave u bone tired, but it wont start with a fever or feeling weak. more like intense stomach pains & then spending the rest of the night on the toilet. but i guess that aint sexy lol. but interesting 1st ep - short as it was

this ep was basically fluffy filler, yeah it was cute that the main couple acted like a couple (& i mean by this, that Uea stopped with his hard to get act) but like i mentioned in the previous ep - this whole BL could've been cut down to 8 eps & not for a sec, would anyone feel like something was lacking. **************************************************************************************as the main subject or Uea's mother was never dealt with. so yeah it's great that King's parents accepted Uea, but given his mother, his step father being a pedo & his half-sister being dependent on Uea, add to this the fact they have money & statues - this would become an issue sooner or later. but everything was brushed off & we were just given a lot of positive fluffy, that was way unrealistic - but it is what it is. **********************************************************************************************this could've been more, but as per usual issues r just used as plot devices, but then never addressed or solved in any way. this whole BL relied more on the sexual chemistry between the mains IMO & nothing more, so idk how i feel about this - but know this a one off.

this ep felt like filler - there was so much crap - but throughout this BL i don't know why we needed so many annoying side character's, that added nothing but a lot of noise - for that Jade was enough, the dude is a total moron (& not in a funny endearing way - he plain annoying) & without all those pointless scenes, this could've gotten wrapped up by ep 8. ***************in this whole ep, other then the stepdad getting carted off to prison, his b*tch of a wife making a huge scene, the "talk" between brother & sister - where i don't why, she had to refer to herself in the third person - moronic. & the best bit was King taking Uea to meet his parents & then the end, when King's mother stopped by to give her OK to both son & future son-in-law. ************now she is a caring mother, she might be tough on the outside but she got a good heart. even though given Uea's mother, i am worried what happens when these two cross paths. as i doubt Uea's mother will leave him be - especially now that her dear hubby aint around to finance her lifestyle. guess she will be addressed in the last ep.

this ep had it's ups & downs. i liked the scene where Uea went to meet his aunt, she such a normal woman in comparison to that witch of a sister (Uea's mother) wish we would know what happened for them to lose contact, cause even if the sister's fell out, couldn't she keep in touch with the abused child = Uea?!? *********************************************************************& i liked the whole ousting Krit the perv from the office, even though how King got access to the security cam footage is beyond me, but that whole issue was rushed & solved in a blink. *******************************************************************even the conversation at the end was gratifying as the mains were finally communicating or rather Uea was opening up about his trauma. but everything else was utter crap. cause after everything King has done & keeps doing he still needs to prove himself to Uea?!? why??? given ALL his baggage, one would think he would be on his knees thanking the gods that someone like King looked his way, let alone is bending over backwards to make his life easier at every turn, removing obstacle's & shielding him for anything that would bother him, let alone hurt... King is like a freakin fairy godmother in a hot bod & a handsome face, but Uea playing hard to get, cause it's cute?!? nah - miss me with that sh*t. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i don't believe a pedo that targets children will then target adults. there is a reason they target children, adults r scarier & harder to handle. so Uea's stepfather's other victims being adults is a reach. but i guess this another rush job. even though i wonder why every problem is getting solved so fast, as there still 2 more ep's to go. i guess the mother issue needs to be solved. that's gonna be a hell of a bad joke - i have a feeling, as Uea said the reason he can't go home was his stepfather & not his mother, who IMO is the main culprit - main bad-guy in this story!

OMG but this was an infuriating ep - where to start, i get King getting angry at Uea's rejection, as i understood why Uea took a step back given his trying & King backing out of the vaca... but still, King kept vigilant guard around Uea cause he knew Krit was lurking. but am sorry, But getting called after hrs when the office is deserted to Krit's office - then seeing him lock the door - why go in? why NOT unlock the door - who was gonna walk in???? & what business secrets was Krit gonna discuses with a freakin graphic designer, that he needed to lock the door?!? still happy that at least this time Uea did more then just shout for help. personally wish he picked up that potted plant & brought it down on his head for good measure. *************************** but the next day not filing harassment or assault charges, is beyond me. like WTF after that i wouldn't be able to be in the same room with the f*cker, let alone be civil towards him. ********************************************************************************here it took the f*cker going to Uea's home, for him to threaten him? & then even, what does he do he resigns - that's an empty threat. Krit will just move on to his next victim. *************************************************************************************but the messed up part, was the whole confrontation with the family, that sister is a moron & it annoyed me - her trying to get Uea to stop. but what frustrated me, was how long it took Uea to open his mouth & then too he sounded more like a child questioning his mother, then one accusing her of all her wrongs. & sorry but the most important part was never said - the money. her milking him non stop - why not throw that fact in her face?!? she is disgusting - heck that whole family is, cause the sister knows who her mother is, yet she guilts her brother into coming back, when she knows how he gets treated. & after the big blowup i hope Uea will break things off with that family, but i don't think he will, cause they his family & this an Asian BL after all - so no matter what they do or how they treat u they ur family till death do u part like the freakin mafia... ugh

i feel like King keeps brining up the issue of his mother wanting arrange a meeting with a woman, cause he wants to force Uea into admitting, that they r more then "bed friends", that Uea feels something more for him, as hinting that he wants more, that he can commit, that he can stop being a player r all falling of deaf ears. so this is his way of making Uea admit he wants more too. ***********************************************************************************************************************************& when Uea was finally looking forward too & wanted to vacation together with King, his mother put an end to Uea reaching out to King & not just being a passive participant. ***********************************************************************************the mains have great chemistry in bed, but their communication skills r lacking. & i get now Uea is back to his old aloof self cause he tried & got shot down. but if he doesn't want to rely on anyone, cause he feels no one is trust worthy, he needs to learn how to stand-up for himself & avoid perverts - he as no problem standing up to King, but not when it comes to guys that can really be dangerous...

i really want to see some type of progress between Uea & King - emotionally, but more then that i want to see one whole ep where King doesn't needlessly apologize!! he goes around saying 'sorry' when he has done nothing wrong, so even if he f*cks up, it aint something big & after all the apologizing i kinda don't feel like Uea deserves it. he should be the one apologizing & trying to get over himself. he aint gods gift to King or mankind. with all the baggage he is carting around, he should be grateful he found someone as kind & considerate as King & if this wasn't enough to make King a hell of a catch, he has turned into Uea's personal body guard & nanny all rolled into one. ************************************************************************************cause of King Uea goes around like a headless moron; getting blind drunk chatting up a stranger from another country, acting coy not putting Krit in his place. he just turns mute around other guys, but finds his tongue around King, then he is cutting him with his words & for some whacked reason King, finds that charming, like WTF. ***************************************************side note: i should like Jade & Gun but have to say they kinda annoying, luckily there a ton more annoying side character's then them - but still they all kinda pointless & i rather see more of the mains.. but that's cause i need to see them growing as a couple - wishful thinking when Uea is involved i know. but one can hope.
