I thought that was just her title. "CEO Cha". Since she's just a plot device, we don't need to know her personal name, which is probably Sa Jang.

Who the f@#$ could think this is boring?!? People with no souls, that's who!

OK, I really like this, but if the amount Shi On owes is only the deposit on an apartment, why doesn't Hong Seok just pay what he owes?

Lex is doing a good job as the villain, because I want to watch someone strangle him to death.

Anyway, the chemistry is interesting with these two - it's definitely there, but a bit repressed. I think Hong Seok is the type of person that will explode with affection once he gives in.

Let me get out my "I told you so" dance. :) It doesn't make sense unless that's the case - I doubt his muse would have been someone who abandoned him (while alive). I love Shi on - so f@#$ing cute.

It might bother him if he weren't asked first. Or he would pretend it bothered him.

I'm fine with slow growth, but to me some of that comes from misunderstandings, which help you get to know someone. Also, there's a degree of insecurity at the beginning of a relationship - for example I absolutely loved Pha's jealousy - it was subtle and slightly immature, but consistent with the character, funny, and endearing. If everything is too saccharine, I don't think that's really development. There's nothing really wrong going on in this series, I just found this ep and the last a bit conventional and not as enthralling as the first 5.

You have a much better memory than I do. Hmm. It's not looking good for Tian, but my money is still on Tul as the driver.

I agree with your assessment of responsibility above, if that's what happaned. If they organized it, they have some responsibility. And watching the scene again, they did discuss clearing the road for the race, so I agree with you.

They don't need to clash like that, but a little quarreling wouldn't hurt. You get to know people that way. When Pha let go of Tian and let him fall into the waterfall, that was cute and funny. Or it would probably bother Pha if Tian used his toothbrush. I don't mean that they have to totally piss each other off. People have more ability to upset you when your feelings for them are strong. It doesn't even have to be that sort of issue. Say one is going on about how wonderful his mother is, not realizing the other one's mother just died. Etc.

I would have had bruised knees if I were in Tian's place, for sure.

Right - totally unacceptable to reveal anything he's discoverd, but totally OK for him to have investigated it.

I forgot about that. My guess from the start was that Tul hit her when he was rushing Tian to the hospital, but we'll find out next ep (I think).

Let me present a hypothetical. If I say "I'm so tired of having no money. Let's rob a bank." Then you go rob a bank - am I partly responsible for your doing something stupid that you full well know is wrong and illegal? I am zero percent responsible. But there are circumstances that would make me partially so:

1) I have a position of power over you, i.e. your boss or an older relative, or the president of the USA 2) You have a mental issue that makes you more suggestible. 3) You are a minor. 4) I hand you a gun, mask, and a sack with "$$$" printed on it and tell you to get going.

Otherwise, you are 100% responsbile for your actions. So if Tian said "here are my keys - drive in the race for me", then yes, he's partly responsible - otherwise, I don't see how he is at all responsible, unless he's taking some responsibility for his father's covering it up.

Yes, I think that's fair. I'm just a little scarred by GMMTV having so many series start out really great and then get ruined by the last few episodes. This and ep 6 were to me inferior to the first five (athough still way, way better than most BLs), so I'm hoping there isn't a developing pattern.

Now I'm disproportionately stressed-out. :)

LOL, you're right, I know. Although I said I haven't seen any, not that he doesn't have any. But he was such a dick to Sib that I'm mad at him.

If you're in a car and you hit a person, unless that person is morbidly obese, you will be unscathed unless your airbag suffocates you.

This actually isn't what I want from a BL, at least not the last couple of eps. We're not getting relationship development, because they get along perfectly and all the drama is generated by manufactured crises. I loved their relationship in the earlier episodes when they clashed. Now it's boring except for all the gratuitous nudity.

I would be OK with drama if it were organic to their relationship (because they're so different). That it's all external drama is tiresome, as is their overly-perfect interaction, which is making their relationship being watchable dependent on Earth's excellent acting. And his body.

He actually has every right to go through medical records because Tian is his patient. If he reveals anything that he's learned, then that would be seriously wrong.

That's my theory too.

The only thing they have in common is the way they lust after Chief, but then they have that in common with 99% of the human race, so that's not very relevant.
