Hum it is interesting what you are saying. I would be less critical about the acting, but I agree with you about the rythm and the inconsistencies (indeed the abandoned building in the dark I was like what? why are you taking him there ? That is creepy, why is Style not talking about it after? Haha, it was quite funny it didn't make sense but I maybe didn't get it). Overall it is indeed surely an addition of things that is making us feel like it is missing something, or that it is not deep enough especially concerning the emotions. But I hope that I will enjoy it more as the story unwrap !

Well I know they are not supposed to be head over hill for each other, especially Kant. But when Kant said to style in this episode to not fall for Fadel at all cost, Style responded "you're one to talk when Bison has you wrapped around his fingers" from what he responds "I know that is why I am trying to end things quickly". I was like "What, really??" Of course it could be a misanderstanding from Style and Kant could be lying but I guessed it was one hint about Kant slowly accomodating to Bison by now in the development of the story, being less wary or even a bit smitten. Plus, we see them bonding and sharing little by little, especially over the little brother. Again I know their relationship is supposed to be fake but after 5 épisodes, I assumed there would be a little evolution. For example, the relationship was fake from the beginning for Style because he did it just to have the car but his feeling is evolving. Slowly falling in love was maybe a bit too much but what I was saying is that I feel that it lacks emotions when they are supposed to have complicated feelings given the plot (even shakespearean some say ! which I get why). I feel that in general, from the KantBison part but also FadelStyle. If Kant is uncomfortable, scared for himself, scared for his brother, scared for his bestfriend (which he leads to a very dangerous situation without making me feel he is really sorry or worried), disturbed by Bison's sexual preference, feeling guilty, lost, betrayed, or whatever… I want to feel that but I dont really.
I am really not saying it is the actor's fault, I know they are good and that they have good chemestry. They cant do much if the script or the directing is lacking, but I dont know what it is. I get that you dont feel the same, you seem to be the majority. I wondered if someone was feeling the same or if it was me. Of course I hope that the feelings of Kant and Bison is now still at the lowest point and are going to be developed in the future to exploit FirstKhao's chemestry which I like!

Am I the only one who thinks something is missing in this series ? I really dont want to criticize it because it is enjoyable so far but I think it really could have been better. The plot, the type of relationships between the characters, I like it. I think there are very good ideas with a lot of potential, the cast is great, the director too, that is why I am frustrated. I dont know what exactly I think is missing, maybe the fact that I dont really feel while watching all the complicated feelings the characters are supposed to have. I know it because of the plot and because there are indications, but I dont feel it. I dont feel it between Kant and Bison : I dont buy that Kant is slowly falling for Bison while trying not to. I want to see the deep internal struggle it is supposed to cause him, his reflections. It is more given than it is explored. I thought I would like First and Khao's roles more but I find myself being more immersed with Fadel and Style, maybe because we can feel with them a bit more of the internal struggle this situation is supposed to create (even though it is not perfect and Fadel's character was a lot "sweatened" since the last episode). But I liked the last scene of this episode, without any music, more silence between them, it was more raw and intimate.
