Him having a kid feels very random. I've…

Him having a kid feels very random. I've been meaning to find the words, but those are the words. Him having a kid is so motherfucking random. I know it's been a couple years, but holy shit. Also, it's been three episodes since we've seen each other again. Why the fuck have we done anything with the plot? Why is the plot frozen in time right now? And what the fuck is this butterfly-ass goddamn suit? Please take this shit off immediately.Also, I think it's interesting that he's able to paint again after all this time, and it's once the toxic men are out of his life, he gains his freedom. I think that's what they're trying to get with that. If not, I'm overanalyzing it, but after all of the toxicity has gone out, he's now back to doing what he loves. And you know what? Hell yeah. Now he paints with his left hand.The doctor said it's all in your head, brah. Talking about how he has high standards but he somehow ended up with yo ass and fucking zhou yang, bro. What the hell? Holy rizz With that, do you think I'm worthy enough of him? Okay, eat. I was gonna try to knock out another episode, but my friend is apparently ready, so I gotta go because we're gonna go eat hot pot. Yay, yay, yay, yay. I would give this episode probably 8.5 out of 10. I quite enjoy this show, but I feel we need to lock the fuck in because we have a couple more episodes left, and I need at least one sex scene. Also, the sister—what happened to the sister? Who is he married to? There's a lot of questions and a lot of answers I need pronto. Let's fucking go. Okay bye!

A Second Chance to Be Where You Are

What draws me to this drama is the regret beneath its youthful romance. Roos seemed to have everything at thirty, yet discovering that someone precious to him was gone left him devastated. Returning to high school gives his wish to spend time with Jiraphat a quiet emotional weight.In Episode 4, their growing closeness is lovely to watch. Through ordinary school activities, they cautiously begin to reach for each other. Jiraphat is also abandoning the rules that once kept him isolated. These small changes make their second chance feel meaningful.But why did Roos travel back too, almost as though he were following Jiraphat? That question interests me as much as the romance.Jiraphat worries that changing his own life may affect the people around him. His teacher’s reminder that everyone makes their own choices offers some reassurance—although I wonder whether the teacher knows more than he lets on.The revelation of their childhood connection leaves me curious about what comes next. Perhaps stories about living life again appeal to us because so many of us carry the same thought: “If only I had done things differently.”

The episode also has some key exchanges and backstory that continue to flesh out the characters of the main leads and deepen their relationships including an adorable scene with Ga Kyung being treated like a princess.
