the cinematography & landscape shots r really really pretty. but the subs being ant size & changing at a rapid pace is making it hard to understand what is going on, as worried if i missed something important. *************************************************the fact the siblings r like oil & water - welcome to the sibling experience, even when there isn't a huge age gap, the older sibling thinks their younger sibling is a baby & they to old to hag out with babies. they suffer them at best when they need to & they will be there if someone is bullying them, but more then that is asking too much. ******************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************in comes the older brothers bff that doesn't see the younger sibling like an annoying child that's stuck to his older sibling. but as an individual he is attracted to. otherwise he would've have brought up his name when looking for addition help at the camp. cute 1st ep but very short.

i would be lying if i said i am happy that Ju Yeong ended up with Do Hoe. yeah in this ep he finally apologized & thanked both Ju Yeong & Hyeon Ho - which was a long time coming. so that is progress, but given how long these 2 have done so much out of love for him & he basically took everything for granted, the fact that after 12 yrs he finally said sorry & thankful doesn't cut it.****************************************************************************************************************************************but it is what it is, this was an interesting plot if very sad & depressing, the romance wasn't healthy either. yeah there were some great moments between the leads, but that doesn't a healthy relationship make. it was toxic & i think Ju Yeong should learn to value himself more & want to be with someone who values him & shows it with actions, not just words. ****************but it is what it is - idk if i would rewatch this, considering the abuse which was too much for me, or rather once was more then enough & as the romance was pretty one sided, so think this a one off.

said this in the past & will repeat myself, Ju Yeong deserves better, he has NO reason to apologize so many times. he Didn't destroy Do Hoe life, not now & not 12 yrs ago. if anything Do Hoe is the one that destroyed Ju Yeong life, not just 12yrs ago but for 12 yrs he guilted him into thinking, he was at fault for what happened that day - basically victim blaming... **************knowing full well that Ju Yeong was suffering while he was living with them - he ignored his abuse cause he wanted him to stay there. like Ju Yeong suffered the abuse in silence, cause he wanted to be close to Do Hoe. who made the bigger sacrifice?!? ****& then hearing Ju Yeong getting beaten (on that fateful night) what does Do Hoe do. walks away & calls the cops, knowing full well that the chief in that town was close to his father - so who would be backed?!? who would be made into the bad-guy?!? **** ****************************************************************************************************************************************then he bombed the entrance exam not once but multiple times & after 12 yrs when he finally met Ju Yeong, did he act repentant? felt sorry for what he did & was doing? nope - he acted like the aggrieved party, treating Ju Yeong coldly like they strangers. all cause he couldn't face the fact that he had amounted to nothing?? that he was sitting on a throne of lies?!??? **********************************************************************************************************************************************but Ju Yeong needs to keep saying sorry - why? cause Do Hoe so fragile, facing reality will make him shatter?! not enough dude had Hyeon Ho enabling him & helping cover his ass, even introducing him to rich connected people so he would succeed for over a decade? & now it's Ju Yeong turn??? **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************sorry but Do Hoe has done nothing to be worthy of Ju Yeong he hasn't apologized, if anything he has manipulated & gaslit him at every turn, & the sec Ju Yeong stands his ground Do Hoe wants to break-up & runs the other way, acting like Ju Yeong was the unreasonable on in the equation - dude toxic & NOT worth the headache.

i am sorry but i really need Ju Yeong to give up on Do Hoe, why is he apologizing & running after him?!? he not worth the headache, he's pompous & reticent, the only thing he wants from Ju Yeong & can offer him is a superficial relationship that is based on sex. what does that offer anyone in the long run?!? *********************************************************************** Ju Yeong should be running in the other direction, not jumping into bed with Do Hoe, not agreeing to a shallow relationship were u talk about the weather - never have a real conversation, just gloss over what is really important & basically be a prolonged one-nightstand. *********************************************************************************************************** no one that's waited for over a decade can be happy in the long run with a relationship like this - what Ju Yeong is agreeing too is pure torture. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************it is infuriating to me that Do Hoe's acting like he is the only one that had a tough childhood. what happy childhood did Ju Yeong experience, given he was an orphan?!? dude throwing himself a pity party & if that's not enough he is gaslighting Ju Yeong into taking all the blame (for something he has no hand in), this toxic as sh*t & Do Hoe needs to go back to his therapist so he can adjust his medication dosage or give him something new. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the parents of Gwang Mo need to be thrown into jail for what they r doing to their child!!! & i don't give a sh*t if this is what actually happens in Korea or any other country - this is ABUSE!

so the reason Do Hoe ghosted Ju Yeong was out of guilty?!? cause he didn't stop the beatings & he called the cops basically destroying Ju Yeong's life?!? the fact Ju Yeong is blaming himself, is cause he loves Do Hoe - *************************************Do Hoe is justified in feeling guilty & not only that, the way he treated Ju Yeong like dirt was safeguarding himself, even after a decade as a mature man he didn't want to confront the reality of what he had done, he didn't want to apologize. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************as much as i know this wont happen, Ju Yeong deserves better(!), he has dedicate over a decade of his life to unworthy people; both the coach & his son. *************************************************************************************************************get it's his inferiority complex, cause he is an orphan that was abandoned more then once - he is all alone, so he thinks it is ok to treat him this way. that he doesn't deserve better - that the few crumbs Do Hoe's throws his way (like that kiss) is more then enough for the likes of him & this is devastating to me. nobody deserves to be treated like Do Hoe is treating Ju Yeong. *************************************************************************************************************************************************& i am 99% sure Do Hoe was in a sexual relationship with Hyeon Ho, one that he (=Hyeon Ho) didn't want to commit to, but he can't let go of Do Hoe cause he is gay. & they have this weird relationship where they not in a relationship, but they also r. & then u get the messed-up scenes, we got in this ep. where the one who gets hurt time & time again ironically is Ju Yeong. it genuinely feels like Do Hoe is toying with him, just cause he can. & i donno if i like this anymore - i need Ju Yeong to cut ties & find someone that will not only love him back wholeheartedly, but someone that wont play sadistic mind games with him & his heart! alas that not gonna happen.

this ep left me heartbroken, confused & angry. i don't know WTH is going on with Do Hoe, so i can't judge... at 1st i though like i assumed in the pervious ep, Ju Yeong shouldn't have antagonized the coach, suffered though whatever so everything would happen as they planned & then they could leave together. & cause of what happened Do Hoe almost lost it, stabbing his own father. maybe that angered him so much, that he ended up blaming Ju Yeong. *****************************************************but him being with Hyeon Ho, felt like a slap in the face. his ghosting Ju Yeong for over 12 yrs was more abuse & i don't get why he's acting the way he is. the way he looks at Ju Yeong, when Ju Yeong isn't looking it's obvious that he hasn't gotten over him - then why keep pushing him away?!? why not talk - now after a decade & clear things, either make-up or break-up. but keeping Ju Yeong on hold like this is cold-blooded, merciless & even sadistic. if u love someone u don't hurt them like this. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************Ju Yeong on the other hand has kept this candle burning for over a decade. i don't think he forgave to coach - he just knew that, that was Do Hoe's home & even if he didn't come back at some point, it was where he could feel the most connected to him. even his relationship with the coach was cause that was Do Hoe's father & thus he was a part of Do Hoe - that is why this is so heartbreaking. as i pointed out in the past, both guys had a traumatic childhood, they were all alone even though surrounded by people/parents - they grew up alone & were alone even when they had friends - the sec they met, they found home & family all wrapped up in one. so what Do Hoe did to Ju Yeong was really cruel punishment, u wouldn't do to ur enemy.

the sec both guys were happy - too happy, i knew sh*t was gonna go down by the end of the ep. they can't catch a break, all their plans went up in smoke. what i don't get is why Ju Yeong had to antagonize Do Hoe's father (& NO i aint victim blaming) but Ju Yeong knows 1st hand how volatile & abusive he is. so why - when he/they had to put up with that place for a bit longer & after Do Hoe's entrance exam they could leave, like they planned. why not bite ur tough & just suffer through whatever... OMG but that was worrying. given how scary Do Hoe's father is, i was terrified that siren was an ambulance & genuinely didn't know if i wanted/worried Ju Yeong or Do Hoe's father was severely injured or dead (& not cause i give two sh*ts about Do Hoe's father). ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the adults in this r just despicable, i feel bad for both guys cause of their family's & what they were put through (each for another reason). Ju Yeong's parents as abusive as Do Hoe's father, just cause they don't beat him doesn't mean they don't abuse him - they just use words & others in authoritative positions to get him beaten-up. little wonder both guys connected - they the only home & safe haven the other has. now idk how much time has passed & if / when they will reconnect. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************btw what is Hyeon Ho's deal, what does he want from Do Hoe?!? he decided to cut ties & now he is back - why? cause he noticed that Do Hoe has gotten close to Ju Yeong & he can sense that their relationship isn't platonic & he is jealous? or is there something else???

2nd ep & we already got not 1 but 2 kisses, i am a happy camper... they adorable !!! but the violence is infuriating. if anyone needs a ass kicking, it's Do Hoe's father. of course he's also a drunk - duh the cliché's just write themselves. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************found it so ironic that group of guys beat Do Hoe up cause of his father, as if he isn't getting abused at home too. who he gonna beat-up?!? but i have a feeling Ju Yeong is suffering Do Hoe's fathers abuse, cause he doesn't want to inform his parents & leave - thus having to be parted from Do Hoe. which is beyond heartwarming & adorable... but also scary, cause the sec anyone of the adults in that town catch them, they dead meat - literally. so i am very VERY WORRIED & hope this doesn't turn dark by the end. i need a happy ending for they boys! *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw was right about Hyeon Ho, he attracted to Do Hoe & it was mutual, maybe that is the reason he started to distance himself from Do Hoe cause he doesn't want to face the facts about his sexuality. just hope this moron doesn't target either guy cause he is frustrated

that smile at the end, made me smile. that town is so depressing i get that there some places, let alone countries where beating ur kids, students etc... is the norm, but seeing it isn't easy to stomach. **************************************************************Do Hoe's father is scary & violent, given how happy go luck Ju Yeong is, i am worried about him being Do Hoe's father's student, which will give him the right to abuse him - like he does everyone else younger then him. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************before Ju Yeong showed up (as i didn't read the description) i thought Do Hoe gonna get paired with Hyeon Ho, as there is this tension between them. makes me wonder what happened & why they not friend or as close as they used to be. is it all cause of Do Hoe's father? or did something personal happen between them, that one or the other couldn't accept?!?

perfect ending for a good BL. i am gonna miss Heesu & this for sure is going on my rewatch list. could add more but bottom line i am sitting here with a smile on my face - a very happy camper is i say so myself. so w

good on Heesu, he needed to come clean about everything, so he can move on. Heesu seems like an open book, but he isn't & Chan Yeong after being childhood friends with Heesu like forever, realized this just now. that Heesu knows everything about him, but he doesn't know what is going on with Heesu. *****************************************************************************this is why i didn't like him for a while, he is used to Heesu just being there for him, emotionally or otherwise he is THERE, so much so Chan Yeong took him for granted. he had to put in zero effort & Heesu gave 110% of himself. which is great for the receiver... but now he realized that a good friendship is a two way street. so i am glad he asked (& even though i didn't like how he demanded to know who Heesu's liked) it pushed Heesu into facing his demons & deciding it was time to come clean. ******** ****************************************************************************************************************************************i like how this plot is paced, there is nothing rushed & it is unfolding logically. not everyone rushes headlong into situations, especially not when their sexual orientation is considered abnormal in the society they r living/growing-up in. i loved & enjoyed every ep & i am already sad that i've got just one last ep to go, already gonna miss both easter bunnies

i am so focused on Heesu & Seung Won, they tend to be the only ones i comments about. but that doesn't mean i don't see the others; i love Heesu's chaotic sisters - his family life is warm, full of love & very cozy - it's like a warm hug. & i like how they interact with each other. siblings being siblings, they argue & can be mean, but u can't miss the love, over flowing between them & this adds to the wholesomeness of this BL. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also noticed what an adorable couple Ji Yu & Chan Yeong r, they r basking in the sunshine of the honeymoon period & am very happy for them. cause they not bad character's, so am happy that at least they very supportive of each others dreams. ****************************************************************************************************************************************but Heesu & Seung Won r the center of this universe for me. they so attuned to each other, if they r both in the same room, like magnet's they r drawn to each other. given how Heesu is an open book & can't keep his eyes off of Seung Won, am shocked his closest friends haven't noticed. ******************************************************************************************************am glad Seung Won decided to confess, but am gladder Heesu said what he said at the end, this time around he wont go with the flow - he has decided to confess (it's written all over his face) & am happy he is gonna take the bull by the horns.btw also love Heeus's relationship with Ho Sik, he as good a friend as Chan Yeong, heck there times i feel like he's even a better friend to Heesu, then Chan Yeon....

every ep makes me smile - well Heesu & Seung Won make me smile. they r so sweet & innocent - their fumbling, making mistakes & yet finding a way to reach out to each other, is making my heartache at how sweet & pure love can be. **************the fact Heesu has realized he has fallen for Seung Won, makes me jump from joy. cause the unrequited love bit was annoying, especially as Chan Yeong didn't notice. & it isn't his fault. but cause i am rooting for Heesu & he is so consumed by the person he falls for - they r his whole world, i feel bad for him & in turn get angry at the person that can't notice how Heesu's love shines from him. so u bask in his love but don't acknowledge it?!? that annoys me.. lol ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************so i am happy that for now Heesu feels like he & Seung Won r in the same boat & he being with him if offer comfort. can't wait for them to confess - it's gonna be beautify

poor Heesu got his heart broken, but he feels like he is in the same boat with Seung Won (even though he doesn't know it yet), that's why he found comfort in the end with Seung Won. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this is so endearing, sweet & funny... but there also very sad moments, regardless of how old u r the feeling of unrequited love, of loving someone & seeing them with someone else - even before u got to explore anything, it has ended - got Heesu's anger & frustration. maybe this will be the push for him to move on. if Chan Yeong hasn't noticed him until now, doubt that's gonna change anytime soon. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Seung Won is another one that has got my heart, he loves Heesu so much, he does so much for him even without Heesu realizing. it's heartwarming & i can't wait for Heesu to start falling for him. he already likes him, but for the wrong reasons. cause of Seung Won's mother's he think Seung Won would accept him. little does he know. this was so bitter sweet
