another sweet & very wholesome ep, if u ignore that another ep has passed & Qi Jia Hao hasn't been dealt with, what we did get was the back story of the 2 gay dudes (that run the restaurant & teach on the side) why? who cares about them?!? not me, like why i need to see them with some weird love triangle, where Jenny has developed a crush on Benny - like plz with this time wasting crap. *************************************************************************************************************************give me more of the mains, give me the student group that has come to befriend Sheng Wang. give me the back-story involving Jiang Tian& his father, & why he is suddenly stalking his son. give me anything but a plot about some uninteresting character's that i could careless about. the annoying bit is they r together - but not out(!) so their being overly kind is creating unnecessary misunderstanding - why do that?!? ugh waste of time & just added aggravation!

before anything, i am sorry but what the actual f*ck is going on regarding Qi Jia Hao. & no i aint asking about how he is spiraling out of control, that pity party he threw himself didn't move me at all - i don't give to figs about him. ******************************Sheng Wang was in a similar situation, when he transferred midterm, not knowing anyone & had to play catch-up with everything they had learned. how many days, weeks was he all on him own(?) isolated in a class full of students - an outsider looking in?!? he didn't go rent thugs to beat-up anyone. he didn't target students or teacher's cause he was having a hard time. but not Qi Jia Hao, he special cause his trying to buy friends didn't work-out, so everyone else to blame? 1st it was Sheng Wang & now it was Teacher Jenny?!?? whos next?!?? like r u serious?!?? ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this is why i was really annoyed when he didn't suffer for the consequence's of his crimes. he was let off the hook when he was caught setting-up Sheng Wang for a beating. ****************************************************************************************Zhao Xi as an adult & a teacher should've know better, when Qi Jia Hao started ranting about Sheng Wang & Jenny - about how unfair it all was, trying to pacify him was the wrong move. dude needed a reality check! not soft words. again being let off the hook. *****************************************************************************************************************************& then we get Jenny being abducted by the thugs, who were gonna do who knows what & everything came to not? again Qi Jia Hao gonna walk away scot free?!??? really?!??? this ridiculous! *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the mains give me life & i love how they r aware of each other & how they do little tings for each other - when they r on screen i forget about everything else & just sink in this warm glow they emit. the smile of my face would vanish. but then we get that psycho Qi Jia Hao getting away with murder & i am sitting here seething at the stupidity of it all! does he need to actually kill someone for the cops to get involved?!??? WTF

ep just flew by, they so wholesome together - they make me smile & tear up at how pure & sweet they r together. but Sheng Wang will always be my favorite. he got such a big heart & i love how giving he is (& i don't think Jiang Tian is any less giving or big hearted) but Sheng Wang just seems more vulnerable & open. *****************************************************************now that they have moved in together & there still 4 eps to go is this gonna be a honeymoon period until the last ep where everything blows up in their face? i am worried... ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the English teacher can't be this blind, both Zhao Xi & Benny keep making eyes at each other, & even if they not in-ur-face with their relationship the way they r with each other, especially how jealous Benny gets it is obvious to anyone with eyes that they in a relationship. i think the coffee mug should've clued her in - or sealed the deal. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************i really love Gao Tian Yang but the dude a perv, where he get binoculars to spy on the girls in gym shorts?!? like really?!? i wished he & Pepper became a couple. cause he is adorable in-spite of his pervy ways. or he can be a 2nd couple with the other good looking boy in his bottom bunk lol

most of this ep - well for a few ep's now i am just smile... hard not to smile with these 2 - the we r more then friends, we r family bit was funny, cause i needed a close-up on Jiang Tian's face when Sheng Wang said that. dude either oblivious to his own feelings or has yet to develop romantic feelings - he for sure care deeply for Jiang Tian - that's for sure. *************************Jiang Tian on the other hand has fallen hard, dude got a bonner noticing Sheng Wang's morning wood - that doesn't happen between good friends, let alone brothers. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw how can Jiang Tian's father roam around around the school ground in search of his kid? especially when there people who know he is dangerous to his own son. can random people off the street just walk into that school? if so what is the point of that security guard?!? *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Gao Tian Yang the good looking on (well IMO Sheng Wang also hella good looking) but Gao Tian Yang is a really good friend of Sheng Wang & i am glad that at least one really good dude got his back. *********************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i am a bit miffed that Qi Jia Hao didn't get outted for the rat that he is.

these 2 r getting me in the feels...for a sec at the start i didn't understand what i missed & why Sheng Wang was distancing himself from Jiang Tian. ironic that both guys have similar personalities, even though they seem like complete opposites. this whole ep was them moving towards each other & then backing up - one step forward 2 steps back. ******************************they so good together & seeing Jiang Tian being so entuned & aware of Sheng Wang is making my heartache at how someone can cherish someone else without words. the way Jiang Tian looks at Sheng Wang is broadcasting his feeling's to the world. wish i could read Sheng Wang as easily, sometimes the things he thinks & the way he treats Jiang Tian, i feel maybe, but then the look in the eyes isn't there & he usually treats him like a really close friend - so need more... **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but loved every moment & the cherry on top was that b*tch ass Qi Jia Hao getting caught. am happy & i hope he gets shamed & the whole class finds out what a shady f*ck the dude really is. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: the teachers that opened the café together r a couple for sure. & maybe when the mains get together, or have a problem as a consequence of them getting together, they will turn to the older couple for advise. just a theory as to why they exist in this drama.

this is so bitter sweet & as much as i feel bad for whatever Jiang Tian went through, that turned him into this cold, distant person. that rather keep his distance from people then let them in. i feel sorrier for Sheng Wang & it's not cause he is my favorite character. it's cause in-spite of whatever he is going through, he smiles through the pain & he is an open book regarding how he feels. also there is an innocence & purity in his actions, so hard to dislike him. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the fact that Jiang Tian made sure to catch the goons that beat Sheng Wang up was sweet, but seeing how it moved Sheng Wang to tears was sweeter. & him asking to be carried up, cause he twisted his ankle = he wanted to hug Jiang Tian - melted my heart. *********************************************************************************************************************************think it also melted Jiang Tian's heart & that is why he wants to move into the dorms, it's cause the walls he has built around himself, to keep everyone out r crumbling when he is around Sheng Wang & he is running scared. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i am 99.999% sure Qi Jia Hao was the one behind the planned attack on Sheng Wang & i need for him to be caught, ousted & shamed. him getting away with 'murder' will make me wanna break something!

knew that f*cker Qi Jia Hao was bad news, even though we got the addition of Di Zhai Tao, so maybe he is the one that got the goons to beat-up Sheng Wang, but as only he was targeted i am sure it was Qi Jia Hao's doing - the rat! poor Sheng Wang is working so hard & for it all to end like this, is devastating. as is the pressure on the students is crazy & just cause he transferred midterm, it is doubly so... & the teachers don't offer any help. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but like how close the guys have gotten, am also happy that Jiang Tian is lightning up. have had enough of his "mean girl" attitude, when dealing with sweet, easy-going Sheng Wang. as it comes off more like kicking a fun-loving, innocent, happy go-lucky puppy. so this ep until that end, was really wholesome & heartwarming to watch.

ok i am nitpicking but at the start, in the scene where Jiang Tian is standing at Sheng Wang's door wet & half naked, they the same height. & if in the previous ep the reason he sat behind Sheng Wang was cause he was taller (way taller), this bothers me that he isn't. like i said nitpicking....lol ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but great ep - it looks like Jiang Tian already smitten, even without his POV at the end i knew he purposely got up & went towards the group. he is too aware of Sheng Wang not to be smitten. no matter where Sheng Wang is or what he is doing, Jiang Tian zeros in on him like he got a tracking device connecting them. so i aint shocked that he got kissed cause of the dare or that he found a reason to kiss Sheng Wang again. am sure it's cause Sheng Wang wasn't effected by the kiss as Jiang Tian was (the 1st time), as he wanted him to be. now he is... this kinda hot

the plot reminded me of the Thai BL, My Bromance which was different in that the "brothers" were more like bully & victim to lovers, then enemies to lovers. but i got high hopes just cause this a Taiwanese BL, where the acting & the plot usually is topnotch. i just hope that towards the end (when the parents find out) it isn't too heartbreaking or traumatizing for main leads, let alone me - the viewer lol ********************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************1st ep & i am already hooked, even though i will happily admit that Sheng Wang got my heart, he is sweet & very likeable, while Jiang Tian got a chip on his shoulder & keeps antagonizing Sheng Wang unnecessarily. don't like him much & think i preffer the guy that sits in front of Sheng Wang ahem... but it is what it is

this was cute - toxic like hell, but cute considering the end. like that the father & annoying cousin were dealt with by the mother, who is finally communicating with her son. & appreciated that Mut gave Rak all his money back, yeah he was trying to prove a point by trying to buy his love. still the fact he cleared the slate, for them to start on an even field - which isn't transactional(!) is much appreciated by me. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the fact Rak folded into himself when Mut confessed & wouldn't take no for an answer, or was ready to renew the contract . not shocked. Rak is a very broken individual & after he lost the Uncle Doctor his mother should've looked for a new therapist to continue his therapy. maybe then he wouldn't be running scared from the word 'love' or treat every romantic interaction as a transaction. he for sure would know that long before he left the Island (the 1st time) he was in-love with Mut... but this ep & Mut heartache was needed to force Rak into facing his fears & his own feelings. Vivi is a very good friend & she did what a good friend does. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this was a good BL even if i didn't like how toxic everyone was & how they were using money instead of confronting their feelings & their problems. still it was entertaining. the GL amounted to nothing - which didn't matter to me, but i did end up liking Vivi very much & would happily watch anything where her character is the main - even though if her partner is Khaimuk, hard pass.

this was a tough ep to sit through, i don't get Mut moseying around with Meena, when he knows that pathetic excuse for a grandfather is stalking that child. especially after he had already accosted them on a prior occasion. why chance it?!? & this time that f*cker didn't just send thugs to hurt Mut, they wanted to kidnap Meena!!! this fact became irrelevant the sec Mut got hurt. **********************************************************************************************************************************& was right that this family doesn't communicate - each is funding that disgusting man just so he will say away from the others in that family & he is playing them all. ***********************************************************************************************now if they communicated maybe the mother would stop funding the disgusting man, she married & that would prevent her kids & grandchild from living in terror of him. they for sure would not be rewarding his threatening behavior by giving him buckets loads of cash. **************************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************& even though i am Very thankful that Rak's father got punched more then once, his comeuppance isn't all that, as the mother is gonna keep funding him. only the well that was his son & maybe his daughter have dried up - still doesn't mean he gonna be destitute. but something better then nothing, at least he not getting away with murder like the mother in The Boy Next World.

everyone is trying to deal with that "father" alone, Mut should've told Rak about the meeting with the father! & even before that Rak & his sister should've had a meeting with their mother & they should've tried to solve the problem that is Jak - together! the only thing they do is send him money in the hopes he goes away. but a money hungry f*cker like him will never have enough(!) he will bleed them dry & still come back for more. so it aint shocking that he is using their want to safeguard each other, against them. ************************************************************************************************************btw Mut is a moron for standing around with that child, hearing out the "grandfather" let alone taking her to a coffee shop & giving him more of a chance to poison her mind & hurt her soul. he should've legged it at the school parking lot, his job was to keep her safe & away from her grandfather. he failed at both - if anything he added to her guilt by letting her listen to that snake. she shouldn't have to deal with all this mess. the adults needed to come together to solve this sh*t ASAP. ****************& cause they r not - he is running wild. even endangering people, all for money. even if Prin hadn't incentivized him he would have been there trying to harass his "family" as they r the only source for his income. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************i feel bad & sad for Rak, but this problem isn't going to ever go away - what is he gonna do? until Jak die's he will come back again & again for more. that is what people like him do. i get Rak is terrified but he needs to find a solution to this problem. heck Vivi doesn't seem like a pushover & is a good friend, maybe she can give him some advise that will put an end to this nightmare Rak & his family r living through hell, cause his mother fell for the wrong man.

idk how Rak just sat there & took it, Prin eviscerated him with her words. there is NO come back from that - ur only option is to go mental & bash her head in. well, that or just take it - the picture she painted, so much info, damage & trauma Rak lived through & she used every hurtful memory/experience to slash at his soul. u can't just brush that sh*t off & move on. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************& i am curios as to why he is still this terrified of his father, he has had enough time to grow & isn't the child he used to be, still he this terrified of a phone call?!? what he gonna do when they come face to face?!????

so Mut's big plan is making Rak fall in-love with him, so he they will marry, like it went with his bff Khom & how he ended up with Conner??! well i guess that is also a plan - still toxic & not healthy. but at least this way Rak wont have to worry he gonna get used & then tossed aside, once his money runs out. which i am getting wont happen anytime soon, as he (his mother) is loaded. still doesn't mean Mut can't turn into his father & history won't repeat itself - worrisome if u ask me. that's why found it ironic that Khom was worried about Mut, cause Rak doesn't believe in love. like plz ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also what is the "grandfather's" deal - why he stalking his grandchild?!? he didn't give 2 sh*t's about his children & from what i got his wife gave him money to stay away. even if he has run out of it all, isn't contacting her a better option to get more?! am sure she would give him what he wants, just to keep him away from her life - let alone her children's, no?!? **************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i didn't like the whole inner thoughts of a 10 yr old child. that not cute of funny & i don't give 2 sh*ts that girls age faster or all that crap... she is STILL a child! i don't need her appreciating a grown mans looks! what the f*ck were the writer & director thinking even adding those sh*t lines?!? it was needed why?!?? that cute? to whom?!??

what u need to be a genius to get that Rak needed space?!? but nah Mut needed to make it about himself & when Rak logically lashed out, he got to play the aggrieved party. as if Rak not got enough on his plate, he now got to feel guilty that he was rude to an innocent bystander - who really isn't that innocent. cause anyone watching that scene unfold, would know that Rak needed to be alone to deal with his emotion's. but now he the bad-guy for hurting a concerned Mut's feelings - miss me with this sh*t. this gaslighting & manipulation 101 - ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also the shopping for clothes scene, sorry but if ur selling urself to a rich person & they have an image to maintain, they can't have their partner be looking like a slob. u dress for the job. same here, Mut is getting paid for his services & he should look the part. he's getting a free wardrobe upgrade, why make a big deal about it? oh, yeah to pluck at Rak's heartstring's - selling the love angel? yeah i get it - sadly Rak is falling hook line and sinker. *******************************************************************Prin might be a sh*t-talker, but she hit the nail on the head & that is why it hurt Rak so much. pity he brushed off her warning & didn't think better of the arrangement he has with Mut, cause logically this doesn't end well for him.
