given how the whole ep went am kinda shocked…

given how the whole ep went am kinda shocked that Peach & Shin ended up in bed together. no matter how infatuated u r with someone when he is this antisocial & loves not just pushing people away, but insulting them. Peach still in-love??? idk if this commendable, reminds me of women that grow-up in abusive households only to then seek out abusive partners & no matter how many red flags they see, they ignore it all, cause... idk - love?!? *****************************************************************& seeing Guy & Atom worry about Peach getting close to Shin is another indicator that he's a red-flag. yeah he aint abusive - well not physically. but emotionally? mentally?!? ************************************************************************************after what Atom said, i am pretty sure he knows that Oab has feelings for Shin & has kept him on hold - heck the way Guy reacted to seeing pic's of Shin in Peach's phone, he knows too & was worried for the same reasons (cause of how Oab's been treated) he doesn't want Peach to be treated similarly. even though there was a sec were i wondered if even Guy had a crush on Shin. but i think it was about Oab not himself. ************************************************************************************also have a bad feeling the reason Shin has started to warm to Peach is cause of his grandmother & not cause of Peach himself. maybe this wouldn't bother others - me yeah it would.

hell of a way to end the 2nd ep. really like…

hell of a way to end the 2nd ep. really like most of the character's. am yet to understand the dynamic between Atom, Oab & their mother. guess a single mother that built a barky franchise & now she wants her to run their own shops. Oab being the oldest conformed, while Atom wants to do his own thing, at his own pace. also get a feeling Oab has a crush on Shin & they not just bff's that work together. but maybe cause of Shin's personality Oab has kept this a secret, cause he doesn't think Shin would accept him & then he might lose a friend. *************************************************************************************& i know the end game is Shin & Peach, but i like Peach more with Guy. Shin's hot & cold attitude is an overdone trope that is getting old. & even if u can understand where he is coming from, that doesn't mean u want to be with a person like this. Peach is too compassionate for his own good, cause after how Shin talked to him - a "sorry" doesn't make the insult go away. they have to work together as boss & subordinate, so u have to put ur pride aside & get on with it. but there is a huge difference between that & having to socialize with that same person. i genuinely couldn't put that whole incident behind me, not on the same day. Peach a better person than me. *******************************************************************************************also think his grandmother noticed that Shin is interested in Peach - but as this so short there wont be any unnecessary drama, doubt there will even be a health scare as drama writes love to add that in when older character's r involved. this too short for anything but the 'meat' - which is a plus - no filler!

steamy but the acting and pacing is flat

The series is definitely steamy, but unfortunately the acting and pacing feel flat. It starts off strong and promising, but as the episodes go on, the momentum really drops. I even found myself watching at 1.5x speed because episode one alone felt overly long, only to realise that it pretty much laid out the entire premise of the show right away.What really holds it back is the lack of emotional weight in the performances. The acting doesn’t quite have the depth, chemistry, or intensity needed to make the story feel compelling. The scenes look polished, but they don’t linger or leave much impact. It makes you wonder if the series is eventually going to lean more on the physical intimacy of the leads rather than solid storytelling and character development. There’s potential here, but it needs more substance to truly hold attention.

popped up on my tube feed & thought what the hell, while i was doing something else. wont say it made me took twice - well it did - when the actors started popping up on screen - but that was just eye candy. got the gist of who was whom & what was going on & yet it didn't make me stop & focus. ***************************************************************************************for now i like most of the cast - minus Shin. maybe being an orphan u accept the introverted side of him, but he a mean-girl & it's one thing being a perfectionist & another being a d*ck... sorry but Shin was a d*ck just cause he knew he had the power & the backing of the owner to be one... there was a sec at the end where he seemed semi human so lets hope he warms up to Peach.

Solid Premiere

SPOILER ALERTThat first episode really hurt — in the best and worst way. Of course I watched it straight away, partly because I’m a certified cat person and partly because Khaotung and First are always reliable when it comes to emotional heavy lifting. I vaguely remembered the mock trailer, just thatthat Tiger can understand cats, so I all I know is it would be a light watch, so wasn't fully prepared for heavy parts.I kinda expected for Tiger to lash out at Lynx during her mother’s wake, and that's unfair. He doesn’t really know the full history between Meow and Lynx, and technically, he isn’t family. Still, it felt like his reaction came from a place of empathy. He had already formed a bond with Lynx, and you could tell he felt protective of her in that moment.I also found Tiger’s character really interesting as a debt collector. He’s tough and unapologetic with people who clearly aren’t even trying to pay — like the gamblers — but noticeably gentler with Meow. Maybe it’s because he loves cats, or maybe because he understands that Meow is using what little she earns to survive and manage her illness. Either way, that contrast adds depth to his character.What really shocked me, though, was how the episode went straight for the jugular. No easing in, no warm-up — they laid out the premise immediately and killed Meow in the very first episode. Wild. Shocking. Slightly traumatising.Still, as painful as it was, it made for a strong, confident premiere. Emotionally heavy, yes, but solid and compelling. A very good — if heartbreaking — start.

Five Stars

The scene of FL falling backwards towards the water, when time stops and you can not only hear the sudden, loud clacking of typewriter keys but also see the actual hands of the script writer reflected off the water behind her, pounding furiously on the keys, doing a re-write of the plot to account for her and ML's deviations was absolute comedy gold! This series just continues to nail it with being not just funny, but cleverly funny. And what a cast! So many talented, recognized actors in this so far. Oh - and the music! The soundtrack is extremely clever and well correlated with the scenes. This is one of those shows you watch where you can tell that everybody involved must have had a blast.
