Well, the mafia ones tend to be kind of ridiculous, and seems to be the trend of the month. I guess that's better than the basketball trend, but maybe worse than the cooking trend, although that one made me hungry all the time.

This needs to be OTT or it will be unintentionally funny.

I think it's gone beyond tiring and has reached soul-withering.

True - and the misunderstanderer always turns and leaves if one of the pair doesn't want the hug and he pushes the person away. There are times where a person is actively struggling to get away and yet this is misunderstood as cheating or illicit. Or a guy is jealous when his GAY BOYFRIEND talks to a woman.

She's no hero, for sure - but she's not evil, either. That she went with that plan suggests she's accustomed to getting what she wants that way, which doesn't reflect well on her - but at least she wasn't doing it for purely selfish reasons. But using another person like that can't be justified. You find another way.

They had too much makeup on Tae.

I kinda want Arthur to bully me. I don't feel sorry for him (maybe I would if we'd gotten his backstory), but the actor was really, really good. And at 25 he's the youngest member of the cast.

Well, she is desperate to save her mother's life, so it's not like she dated him for expensive handbags.

We probably haven't seen all the loops - Tin implied there were a lot, whereas there have only been a half dozen shown. Watching someone die over and over is a good way to build a quick connection.

Also, have you SEEN Tol? Who wouldn't start liking him?

Tae is always an impish sort of handsome - but all vulnerable in the hospital bed, he was so adorable. Then quickly shifted to smokin' hot. Now that was a good buildup to the ending of the ep. Tae's subtle expressions when Tol asked him about his deaths was such excellent acting.

And the scene in the locker with Gap & Sing - Aob was first-rate in that. You could feel his fear. This is a quality series.

Also, I think because he's tall, I hadn't noticed those arms. Tee has those big dark eyes, but Tae can compete. Those two have alwasys had "it" - even in 2moons.

And Fiat - he looks so good.

I'm glad - I really like it. A midlife crisis isn't too common a theme for a BL, but it's handled in a way that everyone can connect with.

BTW, my "wipe food off the corner of someone's mouth" PTSD was active all episode, but a very major miracle happened, and nobody did it, even though they both had cream on their lips sevral times. They did what a normal human being would do and just told them rather than the usual sexual harassment. This has violated the formula in several ways, which is exciting.

Wow, I was not expecting this, but I really needed it. I don't care what anyone says, nobody does BL better than the Japanese.

Given the them, it's funny that felt like it just whizzed by and I miss it already.

Yes, but the characters are older than in a typical BL and facing issues more appropriate to their age.

What a shame. It's soo, so good. You're really missing out.

j/k. I don't see it anywhere else yet - I imagine it will pop up shortly.

Sitcoms used to do that - when they ran out of ideas the family would adopt a super-smart kid who wears glasses. Or the original Battlestar Galactica came up with a super-genius kid named Doctor Z.

But in this series, the girl is smart until they needed her to manufacture a crisis, when she suddenly isn't intelligent enough to understand the concept of having a job.

An Uzbekistani cotton plantation instead? That was she'd get some fresh air.

9 is old enough to understand the concept of a single mother working hard to support her. They should sell her to an Indonesian shoe factory.

I loved the original series, but this is bleak and dull. I don't even know what the plot is - it's random. This week it's searching for a little girl. OK, great. Ji Woo is so opaque that nothing he does makes much sense, especially at the end of this ep, with the weird imitation of a fish.

Barcode may be inexperienced, but I think he's second only to Jeff in acting ability. I rewatched the scene on a big screen, and I didn't see any sign of being upset - if there was any, it was too subtle for me. When you compare that to his superb awkwardness last ep when he told Kim he liked him, it doesn't feel like Chay is understated - in fact I think his innocence and sincerity is what has drawn Kim in. My take is that he didn't notice he got shot down.
