" to women ,men aren't just any nail to hang love on. therefore ,not any nail is okay. they look for

that hand on the thigh move coming from a married man genuinely left me in a state of shock she should've known right then & there what business he was about. so i am beginning my restart of anego after getting to . . . THAT episode on my first run like a day ago & because i am closer to my one year anniversary starting this show then to when i started it i felt it was needed. & i made the right fucking decision good god this show started so strong. so amazingfly strong【 SPOILERS START HERE 】this show does a really good job at setting & i mean what's going on in the background of a character. i first noticed how brilliantly nadoko's living space informs us after she finishes her night & cutting to mourning where she's up after fifty off+screen beers. her work+place is a location i really really enjoy seeing ,it's so cozy. i think the furnishing is so cute but the office is set up in a very intimate way where they can freely talk to eachother where they arew seated & everypony is involved & can chime in. i also think her little secretarial desk in the meeting scene is so adorables.｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ naoko & kurosawa's first meeting is a very memorable scene to me ,i genuinely internalized her advice not to act like a student when he is now a working employee. they say a lot to each other ,they say meaningful things which is a really sad bar to have to have but i will clap at them for meeting it. another good scene are the two immediately back two back with it ,& also the phone call with the mother but I'll get to that later. the conversation with the boys is really good to set up the dynamics at play here & it also touches on the conscious styling work this show has ,i will also elaborate later. then we have the type & printing error where the dynamics pushes naoko into a spot where she as a woman has to lecture the other women. & then we have kana being difficult but fully justified in what she's saying. which is annoying. but this is a good thing. saotome & hasegawa are incredibly fleshy characters already with very clear personalities that lead to realistic actions.【 I BEGIN TO SPOILER FUTURE EPISODE INFORMATION WHEN IT IS CONNECTED TO THIS EPISODE 】i really enjoy the bar location too it's very cozy & small so it feels intimate ,especially because this is where friends will meet. i love the golf part of the episode. the styling department really shined here. kato wears an on theme out+fit ,she cares about her appearance contrary to what tachibana was yapping about for her age+mates. she looks clean & polished. eriko looks like jackie kennedy. she is the perfect house+wife image ,she is everything frumpy naoko is not. naoko is also the only one of the women to wear pants in these scenes to further drive down her sex appeal. tachibana is dressed similar to kato a little where he suits the image of a golfer while their boss is actually dressed like a man playing a sport. kurosawa is dressed like a teenager whos parents woke him up early for this. & they all play exactly like what my analysis would imply. also i need everypony to pay attention to the background like i said before because the actors STAY in character no matter who the camera focuses on oh my god jin is fucking hilarious in this like my god. my favorite performance of him this episode was his little-incel in training-facial expressions during his & tachibana's boys' talk at lunch i mentioned earlier. the best scene in this entire episode ,honestly entire show is the CAR SCENE . . . another very good acting moment is how tomosaka rie's face switches as soon as her husband gets in the car after hearing how him & naoko are familiar with each other earlier. as somepony who has watched ahead oh my god is the set+ups so good. this show is written to a tea & revisiting eriko & naoko's golf meeting is a must. a quicker+paying set+up was hasegawa's computer flops coming back to bite her. her stepping on naoko also coming back to bite her.｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ here i want to talk about the characters. naoko standing up for hasegawa ,after she stole miyamoto for herself says so much about her & the good+natured person she is. but she is not the wonder woman that she has to be to everypony. she has her insecurities & when miyamoto strikes them she doesn't have a come+back to throw at him. she has a plea to her boss. & despite her insecurity that flares up with eriko ,she is still a person with a good nature who wants to stand by hasegawa & anypony else. i look up to her but i also understand her. my favorite character is kato-san. i really do like straight+laced characters & not just mean girls. she is head+strong & won't be pushed over or pidgeon±holed like naoko ,who she loyally supports because naoko earned that unlike the rest of contract girls. i also like how the contract employment is going to continuously play out & how it's not an easy fix & isn't portrayed as such ,it's just something that lingers over them like taxing season.｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ the final scene i want to touch on is the flash+back to when she was the exact same age as kurosawa. having her mother dpwm±play to again reinforce marriage propaganda & tie naoko's worth to a man ,making both times her mother twalked to her was to wave a husband in hwr face. we really get to understand naoko & the things thast make her cry. & who is there to stop her tears ? a member of kat-tun whoich basically checks off every fucking dream boy category one could have in the year ⅯⅯⅤ. revisitng this episode ,this show was soo excellently wirtten. not a single minute that stretches to an hour was wasted. every word said carries the weight it needed to & says all that needed to be said. there is no unnecessary scene & there is no botched pacing. everything happens perfectly & i can not ask for better. this is a ten star ★ episode i love everything about it.

episode Ⅲ most valuable member ;ryusoulpink asuna

this was genuinely such a beautiful heart+felt episode & so early too. already the show has established a much more mature feeling then you would expect & in a way that respects the audience of children & adults. i think it does still have the flaws that many childrens' media has where they oversimplify things a lot ,not just for easy understanding but also because you usually have a short running time & it was definitely present at the start of the episode but you get so invested as you let the episode do its thing to where i genuinely started to produce tears by the end of it. also ,extremely extremely good balancing out the ensemble cast.xui isn't a sentai but she had a fully satisfying story in this episode. our red takers a back+seat but he makes his presence known exactly where a red should in this episode that did not oversahdwo anypony. nopony was overshadowed honestly ,all of them had a very good role for this episode. blue was ,okay in retrospect maybe he got the short end of the stick because this is technically a focus episode for him i feel & i think he needed a little bit more attejtion instead of just having him suddenly learn his lesson but it is okay to me. so since blue has his story happening ,pink becomes a supporter for ui & later blue too & it was really phenomenally done. i am always extremely critical about how female tokusatsu characters are portrayed & shafted but pink is debuting at a top top spot in my ranking of best female tokusatsu characters. she feels like a real person with strengths & weaknesses & concerns & fears. she is not an auxiliary ryusoulger ,she is a core member of the team with a distinct role they need & so much more beyond battles.xnow for green & black ,green definitely is the main focus right now which i don't hatre because i think that adds mystiqwue to the sexy ass black ryusoulger & i imagine it is going to pay off. it also nust naturally benefits green because he has a loud mouth. both of them have sharp tongues but green uses it more. this was a satisfuyinh introduction to them ,because they aree a pair ity makes sense for them to not get an immediate focus episode ,along weith the fact that they are starting off as pseudo+antagonistic & i think they left exactly the impression they should've with their current roles.xas i said in the beginning ,there are down+sides to children+targeted medioa but you can also look at it like another thing you need to keep in mind when making children+targeted media & i think they hit the mark. this is shaping up really well & i am genuinely pleased tp watch this season. i am excited to see the arcs that these characters go on & i reallyt have higher expectations for what the rest of this show is plotting because of this episode. this was a really good watch.

please support han harry june and dkb :) ❤️

harry june was such a sunshine and energizer on the show. he said it himself that he was close with everyone and it really showed with how kind and warm he was to his fellow contestants despite his basically nonexistent screen time. he was always seen hyping someone up, hugging and laughing with someone, comforting people, and the list goes on. not to mention he was incredibly sabotaged by mnet which i won't get into (but trust me.... it's a lot) despite everything, harry june has always worked HARD, challenging himself and striving for improvement. he debuted at 16 and has since been on several survival shows—solo and with his members (be mbitious, peak time, etc.). he also has made over 80+ choreographies, and taught dance classes even alongside bada lee. he is a true gem in k-pop and he deserves sooo much love for all his efforts.he has a true hunger for performing and always does his absolute best to reach that next level and it SHOWS!! he was made for the stage :') he is sweet, humble, energetic and truly a star <3 please support him in his future endeavors alongside heechan and their group DKB 🤎🤎🤎

Planning a charity event for disaster victims

This episode sees sides being taken…..anti-Japanese and anti-communist. They are polar and zealot in the defense of their own and their hatred of the other. Dalun is either undercover for the government working with the Japanese in opium market or dealing on his own. The lies fly from him so there is no way to tell from his speech, and his actions are as deceptive as his words. Cheng and Shen are playing word games with communist leaning articles in the paper. I don’t know which Shen values more his political career or Si Yun. He is quieter about it, but he is as obsessed with Si Yun as his sister is with Cheng. After the movies Cheng is going to take Si Yun out for some late night noodles and gets knifed instead. Fortunately, the family pocket watch saved him. Si Yun spends the night in the hospital watching over him. His pretense of injury trying to get her to wait on him. She immediately calls him on it and they have a chat about his pocket watch and the picture inside instead. Noticeably absent is his sidekick. Dalun visits him in the hospital. Dalun swears up and down he is dealing with a Chinese guy he owed a favor to and not Japanese. Cheng asks him to ask his guys about his sidekick. His main guy admits to taking care of him because of his communist leanings. Cheng feels just as strongly about dealings with Japanese. I am not sure what’s going to happen when it comes to a head I just hope they both survive it. The new pregnant mom wants an abortion. She came to Si Yun’s clinic and asked for one. She asked again when Si Yun was there to make a house call. Is Zeng holding her against her will? Why does she call him a monster and not want to carry his child? What secrets does the calm speaking father hold? The fact that she’s bleeding may mean she is desperate enough to try other means to lose the baby. Sidekick is found and pretty beat up. He is ready to head northeast since he failed his job. The henchman on Dalun’s side makes no apologies for his actions. Even after getting beat on he warns Dalun that if he does not handle what’s going on with Cheng, Shen will squash him like a bug. And with all this going on Si Yun and Ao are growing closer and working on how to transport medical supplies for Gu. Shen has quieted the one reporter pointing out the extra supplies and wanting to know where they were headed. I don’t think she knows the pro communist stance of Gu. Theses politics are very interwoven and messy. There are two different wars in the works and already many casualties on both sides. The internal and external threats are polarizing the people and leading to a big storm. I want all our favorite people to survive the fallout.

Spies like us

So now the new recruit wants to join a northeast volunteer army and Cheng supports it and asks Mr Gu to help the group make it there safely. In return Mr Gu wants a lot of medical supplies and hard to get equipment. Here is where he better not get Cheng and Si Yun killed for helping him. Ya know, I was too optimistic about Si Yun’s brother. I honestly thought there might be a liver of repentant human there, and then ya find out he has a pregnant wife upstairs who thinks he is wealthy and owns the hospital. She is acting like a spoiled brat so that ain’t helping.😝 The first wife is actually washing her feet. Sister gets her out of the room and daughter gives the tea about dear old dad.😝😂🥳 So they leave to cheaper pastures and the mom becomes a new medical recruit. Si Yun promises to train her. Not sure if as midwife or nurse, but she is a giver by nature so she will be a ray of sunshine no matter what job she ends up doing. The mom deserves the brat wife but since she’s pregnant she probably will gush over her rather than chastise son. Dalun is back and Shen tries to big brother him in the hall. Dalun resents it because he thinks Shen is a big phony and he really wants nothing to do with him. When he finds out who Dalun is working with under government contract he invites him to dinner and is refused. He talks Cheng into arranging it and they will have dinner that night. Cheng and Dalun both find out dad has a new pregnant wife. Dalun says is a brother because of pointy belly. 😂 I have no idea if this is more myth than fact, it’s just funny that he takes the time to believe it. The meal is a disaster when Dalun gets lippy and Shen calls in two MPs. Unfortunately things escalate and Shen orders them to kill him. So Cheng takes second gun to his head and tells him to order it. Shen doesn’t and Cheng and Dalun leave. Shen shows up with 2 fifths of something and starts drinking down the bottle. Cheng takes one long drink of bottle two and heads to the movies. He and Si Yun have figured out how to get the items but not how to transport them yet. I really don’t want them tangling with Dalun et al. They are given carte blanche with permission for lethal response. It is funny how Cheng tries to trick Si Yun into holding his hand. She calls him on it and teases his hand is sweaty. He takes his hand away and she grabs it. The episode ends with them both grinning and holding hands. 🥰

Choosing sides

While SiYun is rallying herself together Cheng and Shen are bickering in the adjoining room. When she is finally tired of it she leaves to find Mrs Shen. Her son tells her how Mr Dong got a bit out of hand but was handled. She corners them with who introduced her question and son has to admit fault. She is far from happy and offers to personally escort her to the right people for investing. Cheng assured her that there will be no repeats. Mrs Shen asks Si Yun directly that with Mr Dong being an issue things might get difficult and Si Yun lets her know her clinic will happen no matter how difficult. There is a man killed in the bathroom and everybody is getting checked at the door. The waiter who has had two other names tossed around is also Mr Gu from shantytown. They are holding him at the door and Cheng and father get him out. He does remember to go back and get Si Yun. There is a father/son chat about Mr Gu and Cheng is strongly warned about not getting involved in politics. This is also where mentioned Cheng is adopted son. The house has been purchased by Mrs Shen and she comes to get paperwork. Si Yun then learns that Mrs Shen is considering this her investment and she wants the hospital here. Yi Sun can’t believe her good fortune. As it is changed to be a hospital Cheng visits and offers his legal services. She is not to worry about paying he considers himself a second investor. I like where Cheng is cornered by Ms Shen and asked directly if he has feelings for Si Yun, his response, I simply have no feelings for you.😂Then when asked who is better he responds Si Yun is excellent and he gave no such recommendation for her. I don’t think he would have typically been that harsh, but she needed to truly understand he wasn’t interested. The niece returns from school and sees the new hospital coming into shape. She is headed to her old room now part of the dormitory. It was cute watching her guy bring in her luggage for her and then immediately excuse himself. Cheng then has a chat with his sidekick and son about the military. Dad is all against and Cheng supports him. During training there was an issue where the boy was beaten and jailed for communist thinking. He wanted clarification about why politics were more important than fighting invasion forces. This went to court and the jury is out tho it looks promising to go his way. Si Yun invites Ao to lunch and the kid responds. When chastised by his dad, Cheng includes them. Si Yun wasn’t as happy but said that is what Mr Cheng wanted.😂 I don’t think he will be asked out again any time soon.😂They are headed out for food and episode ends.
