A great start. Too many twists and turns in the first 2 eps. Just when you feel you have a handle on the story, events take an abrupt turn. But the real shocker is the righteous ML is supposed to be the killer!! And who is the second person watching??
This was a great episode, and it was a lot different from what I guessed was going to happen in Episode 6.In the…
I missed the calendar . Really, 2007 calendar with a Fleabags poster!! That's just carelessness rather than intentional, I mean what would be the point of that! The series had ITSAY vibes, but in ITSAY every little detail was curated to perfection to match the theme of the show. This and endless nagging... other than that all seems good.
Another great episode.. the series elevated a level since the last episode. First time we see a serious suggestion that Cake's feelings may be more than mere friendship. He is jealous of Seeiw's closeness with Sand. The conversation between Kung and Cake is very suggestive. Kung is very perceptive and can see what's going on. He seems to subtly indicate Cake that he can't have both Rin and Seeiw. Santa's acting is also too good, the way he looks at Seeiw on the bus after his mom tells him about their move. The first person he thinks he doesn't want to be apart from isn't his gf but Seeiw!
BTW the timeline of the series seems all over the place; there's Nirvana, Beatles and Fleabag posters on Cake's wall and that television belongs to a museum!
Honestly, this was difficult and beautiful episode to watch. Seeiw’s problems run much deeper than I imagined. His introvertedness is severely limiting his life experiences and his circle of friends. This combined with his feelings for Cake makes him cling to Cake even more. Actually, Cake is doing nothing wrong. He is simply living the life of a teenager. It’s clear that he cares about Seeiw deeply but devoid of any romantic attachment to him. Seeiw is careful that he doesn’t come in the way of Cake having fun, like giving Cake enough space so that he can hang out with his friends or insisting that Cake should go with his sister. However, when it comes to Rin, he can’t help but get territorial almost attempting to impose guilt on Cake and try to have him all for himself. I imagine Seeiw is aware of his self-contradictory attitude and it must be difficult to make sense of it, until the on-screen kiss scene, when everything comes together. Confusing emotions, the feeling of being slighted as Cake focuses on Rin, the desire to be with Cake all time, everything makes sense all of a sudden. The realization of first love and the apparent impossibility of it rends him apart, leaving him more helpless. But, having understood his feelings, he will able to do something about it. Best would be if he could confess his feelings openly to Cake but that may be too difficult for him. As we see, he would choose to distance himself from Cake, further complicating the dynamics of their relationship.
I see some people disliking Earth's character, and just my 2 cents about it. Seeiw is in love with Cake and does not fully understand that himself. He only feels jealous when Cake talks to Rin. This is fundamentally different from how he behaves when Ta is visiting Cake. That's only because he is introverted and still not comfortable about Ta. We see scenes in trailer where all three of them are having fun, presumably after Seeiw has got more used to Ta. So it's not correct to characterize Seeiw as generally whiny or possessive. He's only showing that attitude towards Cake's reln with Rin because he feels jealous which is very normal if you like someone.
Santa's acting is also too good, the way he looks at Seeiw on the bus after his mom tells him about their move. The first person he thinks he doesn't want to be apart from isn't his gf but Seeiw!

And why is this page so dead?
I guess probably around 7 and then he will come back all grown up?
