this is getting under my skin... i recognized the actor playing Izumi, but didn't recall from where until i checked his bio, he's Hatano from A Man Who Defies the World of BL. was happy to see him, until that slap - like WTF. how is that justified?!? if i was Michio, after the 1st hit i would punch him back in his face. how this cute?!? **************************************************& then we got Arata - i wanna squeeze that orange head of his until it pops, why he treating Kanemitsu like his personal slave cause the moron had the misfortune to fall for him at 1st sight. ********************************************************************& have to say i am kinda over Gii's "i love u" yeah so??? that justifies him basically forcing himself on Takumi, make him do sh*t he not ready for??? & then if one retard not enough why is Shozo always on Takumi's case??? ugh i thought i would just watch something to fill time & as this short it wouldn't take long to binge this - but given the amount of stupidity displayed by a majority this gonna do my head in - aish

pretty sure i wont be the 1st one saying that this wasn't good - if ur gonna remake something, do it better then the original or don't do it at all. i wasn't ever a fan of the Takumi-kun Series, but as it was so hyped, i watched all the movies in the series in the hopes they would get better - they didn't. but i could understand that given when it was made, it was to be expected. but how do u explain what we got in this ep?!? its like the producers chose to take us back to 2007 instead of brining this series into 2025. *********************************************************************************************************************************also choosing to start where they did, it felt kinda random & annoying - as u felt like u started to watch a movie somewhere in the middle & were missing a lot of info to understand what was going on. even have watched the original & knowing who was whom & what was going on, i would've still liked to see why & how the mains got together, especially given Takumi's phobia of people. not to mention the rest of the character's - if u didn't watch the OG movies, would one guess WTF was going on??? little wonder this bombed.

this was such an adorable ep - it was perfection. as i said in the previous ep, this was far better then the actual series & it's not that, that was bad - it started of really good, but somehow after the confessions or rather Hioki's 1st confession, it kinda went downhill & felt like the magic was missing. it was cute & didn't think it was boring, but i lost interest & it was kinda meeh by the end - was even glad it ended. *********************************************************************************************************but this special is really special as this reminded me of how i felt while watching the 1st few eps of the prequel. this was precious & made me fall in-love with both mains all over again. & am sure after the 1st ep everyone was sure that the mains spending the night together would be way steamer, but i loved what we got as it was fitting for the teens that they were. this time around i am bummed that there wont be more - loved this!

at the start i was like "this could've ended in the previous ep" but loved the scene with the father & the grandmother, also loved how Guy & Nawa got together, the way they were going i was sure it wouldn't amount more then a platonic relationship. but their confession kiss was adorable & so freakin sweet. the rest was meeh - like o could careless for Name & Saifah, also think Napdao was pointless addition, she was like wallpaper & just kept interjecting herself into scenes & i didn't think she was needed. she wasn't needed to showcase Pimfah, who could've still remained a memorable side character like Auto & Max. *****the mains ending was predictable & cute. but i wont say i was riveted till the end. yeah they got great chemistry & they look good together, but is this a romance for the ages - nah. this was cute & on a whole i wasn't bored but i doubt i will ever rewatch this.

i thought we would get a 2nd or even a 3rd couple - thankfully nothing became of the GL, but was sure there would be something between Saifah, Name & Guy & Nawa. **********************************************************************************Saifah & Name amounted to a couple of moron's that r supposed to be the adults (among all the teens) yet their behavior is like they in lalaland. Saifah thinks keeping quite will keep his brother safe, as if Name can be trusted - given he went out of his way to help him & how did things turn out?!? why he think this time Name would/could keep his word?? ******************************& Name given how things worked out, he doesn't know his mob-boss??? he couldn't find an out & he thinks he has the power to keep Sailom safe, make his boss uphold his part?? like how deluded can one be. & sorry but now that the big-bad-boss has been caught or shot, if Saifah is let out, i am calling b.s. cause he was an accomplice & deserves to rot in jail for betraying the Sukprasert families trust! he as bad as Name & they both need to do some jail time. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Guy & Nawa thankfully turned out better then i thought they would. Nawa for sure a better friend to Guy then Sailom is. & Guy needs a good friend more then a lover so seeing their development warms the heart. they friend goals - love how supportive & caring Nawa turned out to be. *****************************************************************************************side note: Pimfah is a sweetheart & i get her wanting to help Sailom , but i find it so weird that she has shown little to no loyalty towards Kang - they not just childhood friends their families r close & don't just do business together - so i found it a bit weird how she always trying to help, saying she will involved her father - that's kinda absurd.

Too late is still too late

Episode 30 centres heavily on confession, though it’s frustrating how much time is given to the SML and his sudden need to finally voice his feelings for the FL. It feels overdue rather than meaningful. I actually found myself feeling more sympathy for his female colleague, who is open and honest about her feelings, while he continues to hide behind hesitation.What really matters in this episode is the FL’s clarity. She’s in a genuinely happy place now, having firmly left the past where it belongs, and she’s looking ahead to her future with the ML. Watching her stand up for herself is incredibly satisfying — she handles the SFL and her snide remarks with ease, showing both intelligence and self-assurance.The FL makes one thing unmistakably clear: the ML isn’t a “choice” — he’s who she wants. The contrast with the SML couldn’t be sharper. He saw her message and said nothing. He heard her confession and did nothing. As she rightly points out, he took her feelings for granted, assuming they would never change while he stayed indecisive. If he didn’t like her, he should have gently rejected her instead of leaving everyone in limbo. That lack of courage has consequences — and this episode finally acknowledges that.It feels like this episode is closing the door on emotional “what ifs,” clearing the path for the story to focus fully on growth, accountability, and what comes next rather than unresolved feelings.

Bday celebrations

The evening was going well. Xu’s colleagues were trying to get him and Chris some alone time. I really like her. She is bold enough to lay it on the line with her feelings for clarity and then give Xu hope for his dream girl. She even does this on her bday so that it will be settled for her once and for all. There were no mean intentions to XiGuang, she just heard blabbermouth cousin at resort and was unaware of their updated status. She also let him know he would be hard pressed to win the girl over Lin. She is such a good person and I hope she finds a more worthy guy very soon. Rong has managed to show up at the karaoke place and as usual flaunting her wealth and checking to see the status of everyone else. Once again XiGuang very calmly and rationally defends her job and its future and shows up Rong for being the petty wench that she is. I wonder if she was aware her friend had pined for Xu along with her? Probably not because she was too busy bossing her around.😝 Xu knows about her confession song and sings it with her in mind. She makes excuse to leave shortly after and he of course followed her. All the things he should have said in college came pouring out. Funny how he never felt obligated to declare his status with Rong but expected that from XiGuang about YuSen.😝He never should have touched her when she was getting into the cab. I am glad she protested loudly and long while clearing her name about his accusation. She has made it very clear where she stands, who with, and has left nothing open for debate in the future. I like how Rong strides by without even looking over making her opinion of him clear as well. They are giving him this very long emotional scene with tears in front of his college friends and I can only roll my eyes. It’s a wonder XiGuang makes any efforts to keep in touch. That just shows what type of person she is. YuSen shows up and knows something is up because she went there instead of him picking her up. I love that she hugged him tightly for comfort and seeing him as her strength and support. She then gets introduced to YuSen’s professors and he tells her the story of how they met and how he wooed her. The only stipulation is if he chooses this venture, he has to cut ties with the company. For now it’s not an issue because they need time to set up a lab. There is a different song on the radio as they head home but it’s a good song for them. At work she is teased about the boss checking in and she reminded Jie that prior to work time he was the bf checking in.🤣😂She gets a business call from auntie who wants to know if she is interested in a collaboration. This of course gets a cheerful yes and they will meet to discuss the details.

One Stars

1st off i have to ask - why is Saifah still around? he came to help Kang's grandmother get back on her feet, now she is - SO why he still there?!? the fact he is very comfortable & doesn't want to leave, is obvious. as this progresses i have actively come to dislike this character & now that he has brought Name in, they gonna destroy that family, before they leave. the sad part is that Sailom who has been working really hard to lead a straight & narrow life, is gonna get painted by the same brush. **********also ironic that Name tried to make Sailom an escort to cover their debts, that could've destroyed his life & his future, but Saifah goes around like a thoughtless moron - care about ur brother & urself. here he can't take of his only family he's suddenly rushing to help a stranger just cause they went to school together - like is this moron brainless?!? ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************throughout had a feeling that something might happen to the grandmother, but it was the father that got shot - which is ironic given the fact that Kang was finally rushing home to see him. but the fact Saifah got caught & Name is nowhere to be found is fitting - cause i don't really care what happens to Saifah. of course his taking the blame, would turn out to be, a way to ensure nothing happens to his brother, but i don't think that he is redeemable as he is the one that brought Name into that house & is at fault for everything that happened as a consequence. ****************************************************************************what bothered me more is the fact that Kang rushed to be by Sailom's side, comforting him - asking about his brother. when Sailom didn't even think to ask about Kang's father?? but it's not shocking Sailom has a tendency to be selfish - like he made a huge fuss about Kang kissing his bff's asses, only then would he accept Kang. yet Guy got hurt & he didn't even think to wonder after him, just left him to go back with Kang & then didn't even call to ask him is he was ok. *************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************what i am glad about that i was right about Kang's father, he isn't a bad person, it's just that when ur raising a child alone (or as a couple) it aint easy & u never know what's right or wrong & things that work with one child, might not with another. so as a windowed parent he was doing his best. now that he has found out, instead of just decided on his own he should learn to communicate with Kang (as he aint a baby anymore). as the adult & the parent he will be the deciding factor, but that doesn't mean he talk it out with Kang before deciding.

Clarity, confidence, and closeness

Episode 29 has a lot going on, but in a way that feels purposeful. I loved seeing the FL’s mother make decisions based on what’s best for her, finally stepping out from the shadow of her ex-husband. She’s clear, decisive, and intentional about her future, and it’s incredibly satisfying to watch.The shifting of shares is big news and creates a natural opportunity for the FL to be open with her close friends about who she really is — cue the quiet “boss lady” moment. While she balances time between friends and family, it’s genuinely cute to see how much the ML wants to be with her. Their relationship feels healthy and secure, and they’re both glowing because of it.We also get insight into the FL’s past through her college roommate and her shared feelings for the SML, which adds context without reopening old wounds. On the ML’s side, the possibility of returning to medicine — this time using his knowledge and skills in a different way — feels like a meaningful next chapter. Growth really is the theme here.And then, right before the end credits, a familiar annoyance creeps in when one of the FL’s classmates calls the SML to tell him she’s there. Completely clueless, and entirely unnecessary.It feels like the story is deliberately testing whether past connections can still disrupt the present — or whether everyone involved has truly moved on.

Finding new dreams

XiGuang and mom have a candid chat about why she wants to sell shares. I have to admit surprise that she thought it worth her time trying to be ‘wifey’ material. Just shows how hard other people’s opinions can hit and make you question your place and value. This will be a good move for her and an assist to XiGuang…a definite win win. Nie was so sour at the signing. He is realizing she has shred the last bit of him and with no vested interest can be blamed for any failure on his part nor can he assume any credit for her work going forward. She is out from under his shadow and becoming the cloud that flies high. XiGuang tells her work friends who her mom is. They are definitely surprised but not criticizing her like her college friends. I have no clue why she wants to go to SiLiang’s bday party. This is the girl who quietly pined for Xu and is settling with her current bf. I don’t think there were ulterior motives this time, it was actually a fun meal and celebration. But that is all ruined thanks to Xu knowing she’s there. He was actually having a decent time celebrating Chris’ bday with colleagues. He should just finish the night with them. YuSen is meeting with his prior professor. Their brain interactive software would be a good fit for him. I don’t think he realized she felt he’d been poached by clinical medicine. He is attending a meeting and listening to the possibilities. She is definitely going to keep in touch knowing he wants to get back to medicine. He has signed for his Gpa’s shares so power is shifting with the companies. Waiting to see how that all plays out. The episode ends with Xu perking up at the mention of XiGuang and an invite.😝
