I never thought I could get bored with that much "going on", but I am, and what isn't boring is cringey, although I did get get some serious laughs with how solemn they make the act of masturbation, with the heavy music cues, as if it's about someone cheating on their partner. CHEATING ON GOD. That's what I kept thinking - it reminded me of Catholic school and nuns, rather than something boys at that age do six times a day. At least they got THAT right. I'm surprised the main character hasn't castrated himself with those gross long fingernails.

Anyway, that's my first impression. If I can get through the rest of the episode, maybe that will change. I will say the motorcycle guy is hot.

OK, I have to give them some points for the pizza boy - that's a porn stereotype which is well-used here. This is starting to feel like a 1980s music video with that pool scene with the money.

I think it got better as it went along and the sex had a point rather than being there just to be there. I thing they did a good job of portraying the main character as a virgin, with realistic and relatable insecurities, rather than acting like a Victorian 12-year old.

But what exactly was "rough" about the sex with the pizza boy? That was totally vanilla.

Maybe gay content written by a BL writer. The way masturbation is given so much gravitas in this is LOL funny - whoever wrote this has either never met a boy or went to a Catholic school taught by nuns.

Tew is condemning himself and Guy to death by betraying the boss and letting a psycho who's been trying to kill go for no conceivable reason. It makes Wal's overprotectiveness seem a little not overprotective.

You didn't like the opening scene? That was kind of my favorite.

I don't agree about Wal - I don't really see what he's done wrong other than being overprotective, which is not the most negative trait. It's certainly not as bad as sparing a psychopath who will be back to kill him and probably Guy too, and if he fails, it will be the boss's turn. So it looks like Wal's overprotective instincts are spot-on.

But I really laughed at the Kenji in the tub thing - it was kind of like when you hit a golf ball and you almost want to use telekinesis to get it in the hole - I was willing Kenji to get a little lower in the water to flatten out that terrible wig.

Proposal for new BL law: No wigs. Period. I don't think it's ever gone well.

Guy is an idiot? At least he didn't betray his unforgiving boss in order to spare the life of a total psycho who will absolutely be back to kill him and exploit his feelings for Guy. It's hard to be a bigger moron than that.

This is ten times better than their previous work, if that tells you something about their previous work. Maybe 100 times better.

I had the same feeling. Tew showed up at Guy's parents' house at night wearing black and looking angry, after telling Guy he's a mobster who murders people, and then gaslights him. It doesn't make for a very compelling romance.

When you stop to think about it, Wal really hasn't done anything at all wrong - I think we're just conditioned to dislike him because he's not in the main couple so he's just a plot obstacle. While I certainly don't like him, I do think he's the best drawn and most consistent character.

Most people don't have feelings for two people at once, especially when as inexperienced as Guy and who has been in love with Wal for years. But he certainly doesn't have the same feelings for Tew that Tew has for him, and that was way to quick a transition.

Agreed on all of that. And don't get me started on letting Kenji live - the stupidest and most pointless thing a character has done since... well, maybe this one wins.

I do appreciate an episode starting with Meen whipping his shirt off. So there's that.

But other wise this episode didn't make a lot of sense.

- Guy leaves because Tew didn't tell him the truth right away. OK, but you've known him for a couple of days and he DID tell you. He was telling you when you got mad at him for not telling you.

- Which begs the questino of Tew, then why are you telling him now and putting him in danger?

- Wal's feelings for Guy have been well-set up and are believable. But are Guy's? He obviously have strong feeling for Wal that won't just disappear I can see him being fascinated with Tew, especially when he whips his shirt off, but you generally don't harbor strong feelings for two people at once - and Guy doesn't seem to be the type.

- How did Tew find Guy? Is showing up at someone's family home after you've just confessed to being a mobster and looking angry like that a good idea? If he's whipped his shirt off, maybe. But then he just gaslights Guy - I don't think it's clear at all that Guy has mutual feelings for Tew. He has some feelings, but he's clearly stuck on Wal. He wasn't wishing Tew would call him, he was wishing Wal would. It was emotional whiplash.

- Worst of all, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever why Tew would let Kenji live - Tew just signed his own death warrant if the boss finds out. What for? A malicious psychopath who will 100% come back to try to kill you and will likely use your feelings for Guy against you, putting Guy in mortal danger. It made zero sense and was such a stupid thing to do that it completely undermines Tew's character.

Fortunately, Meen is so hot I can't look away and despite only having one facial expression, Ping is pretty frekin' cute. But I hope this gets back on track. Both Meen and Winner were quite good this episode. Wal has the best-drawn and most consistent character in the series, even if we all want to slap him.

It was definitely off. First, Guy's reaction didn't make a lot of sense. Tew had just told him that he hadn't revealed the truth because he didn't want to put Guy in Danger. Which begs the quesiton - is it Ok to put him in danger now? The only reason for Guy's reaction was so he could do the slo-mo walk to the elevator.

I think we all know you can be attracted to more than one person at a time, but you generally don't have strong feelings for two people at once, and Guy was bouncing all over the place. Hearing his internal monologue was even worse - first because I hate lazy writing like that, but more importantly, it didn't make sense. Why would Whale almost kissing him lead him to believe that it's impossible Whale could have feelings for him? Is he stupid or something?

I agree with all of this. This episode didn't make a lot of sense.

Did they ever combine the two? THAT I would like to watch.

I also liked his gigantic desk, his pet tiger, and the way his bodyguards occupied their off hours.

Thanks - I agree with the positives you mentioned. I have to say that subsequent series with this main pair were better than this one, but not a lot better. They keep having Force play stoic rich guys, and it appears that the directors told him "Show as little emotion as you possibly can and squint 24/7." On the bright side, he's really been working out, so there's that.

I'm glad to have been of service. It is kind of evocative - sort of a lazy pointless awful rather than in-you-face with it's awfulness.

Sorry about that. But enough with the cake, already!

I'm on Ep 2. In the flashback when they were at the washbasin, I was rolling my eyes thinking "here comes the obligatory water-fight". But it was f@#$ing cute as hell. It felt like they didn't tell Woo Ji Han it was going to happen because his reaction was so genuine.
