the pettiest man alive

we've entered our petty jealousy arc. literally guilt tripping Nao into prioritizing him lol. the hand placement. omg Mick x Tul yes please. we need another season for all these side couples I'm telling you. Nue such a shipper. aaaaaaaaand now we're college students? present timeline? North I missed your face. He immediately finds out lol. interesting how Ger and Johan know each other, but Johan doesn't reunite with North through Ger. oh I forgot Ger was also the anonymous gifter. love rival has appeared. she's cute and therefore incredibly dangerous. arranged marriage ah. to be honest, I get Ger - even though I'm not in love with my friends, if one of them said, "hey I'm making time for you today" but then brought their partner I'd be like ??? I thought it was an "us" day today ???? wouldn't be as pissed as Ger though lol. oh shit confession time?! "what do you want me to do?" for real though - exactly what is Nao supposed to do here??

the red flag is little Jane & i have come…

the red flag is little Jane & i have come to actively hate this character, Jane Patrick is also at fault as he is a glutton for punishment, so what if the senior secretaries were taking advantage of little Jane being a backboneless moron, that can't stand up for himself, when it comes to Jane Patrick he has no problem shoving his nose in & trying to assert dominance. as if moving little jane's desk into the CEO's office wasn't ridiculous enough, he turned him into a nanny for his younger brother (who btw why we need this addition?!?) oh i know, so the moronic little Jane would get into Jane Patrick's new residence - another place that's gonna turn into a "ghost town"?!? cause little Jane can't help himself & Jane Patrick will never meet his standard's, so sooner or later little Jane gonna exile Jane Patrick from his life & from the place he lives & Jane Patrick like the faithful, obedient puppy that he is, will wag his tail & leave all for his love??? this the grand romance everyone swooning over? or is it just the NC scenes?!? ***************************************************************************************************************** btw even as a nanny, he is utter sh*t - instead of defending ur charge & making sure he is safe & securing evidence of the bullying & the bullies.. u tell the child to get along?!? with his bullies? r u stupid? or rather the bigger question is, how stupid r u.. thank f*ck Jane Patrick stepped in & did what needed to be done. & yes little Jane was at fault for what happened to the kid later & he shouldn't been fired - but like a drug addict Jane Patrick just can't let kick his habit. sad for him - ironic that everyone referring to him as the devil, when the real devil is little Jane.

Behind the Scenes, Enemies to Lovers and a Clueless Wan

This series reminds me of the Chinese BL *Deep In*, where we also get to see the actors behind the scenes. I personally prefer *Deep In* because I feel like it blends the behind the scenes elements into the story more smoothly. Obviously, they’re from different countries and have their own style, but this one is still really good and definitely less toxic 😂Our main lead Wan is so cute and adorable. He is completely clueless, funny, and always asking stupid questions about acting 😂 Honestly, he represents all of us, especially anyone who is completely new to acting and has no idea what is going on.I also love the enemies to lovers trope between Wan and Third. Their interactions are already so entertaining, and I’m really enjoying watching their relationship slowly develop. Loving it so far!

A Father Learning to Understand His Son

Today is Father’s Day in Australia, so this episode touched me even more than it normally would. When Natsuki’s father found out that his son liked boys and that there was something between Natsuki and Sota, he immediately told him not to bring Sota over to tutor him anymore. To be fair, I can understand his initial reaction. Imagine trusting someone to tutor your son and then suddenly finding out that they have developed feelings for each other. Luckily, Natsuki and Sota are around a similar age, so I don’t really have an issue with it. If there were a large age gap and it was an actual teacher and student relationship, then I would feel very differently because the teacher should know better.But what touched me the most was Natsuki’s mother and sister. ❤️ They sat down and talked to him, and even before he officially came out, they basically told him that they already knew and understood. There was no judgement or rejection. They simply wanted him to know that they loved and supported him. That scene was so beautiful and emotional.I also understand his father a little more after seeing the whole episode. Same sex marriage is still not legally recognised in Japan, and this was completely new territory for him. What mattered to me was that his reaction did not end with rejection. He invited Sota to dinner and genuinely tried to understand their relationship.When he admitted that he was still getting used to everything, I actually found it really touching. He even Googled relationships between men because he was trying to understand his son better. 🥹 He might not understand everything immediately, but he is trying, and sometimes that first step means so much.I would honestly be happy to have a father like Natsuki’s. He may need time to understand something unfamiliar to him, but instead of turning his back on his son, he chose to learn, accept and love him.Maybe that is what made this episode hit me so hard today. A parent does not have to understand everything immediately. Sometimes love is simply choosing to keep trying to understand your child.Happy Father’s Day to all the dads in Australia today. 🇦🇺

And there we go again....

And there it is — again with assumptions and jealousy caused by their own insecurities about their relationship... And, damn, Nian has turned into a stalker? Or just doing an occasional, yet time-wise coincidentally inconvenient check-up on his secret girlfriend/not-girlfriend Zhitao? 😕But to be fair, I think they both are not completely sure what they want from the relationship they have. On one hand, when they hear about other people's lives, they want something more serious, stable, and permanent, but then other times they want to keep it secret, and just have the comfort of physical intimacy with no other attachments... This is a little frustrating and very confusing at times. 😔But I am thankful for the ex-boyfriend and the sister in this episode. They added a little lightness to some scenes, which I enjoyed a lot. 🙏🙂‍↕️
