idk why even though by the end, the avengers…

idk why even though by the end, the avengers group finally got together to plan the take down of Nine - i wasn't as elated. there was something missing & i can't put my finger on what. to start off, i wasn't that heart broken for Third at the start, cause i think he deserves some heartache, after how he chose to deal with Nine. call me petty but it is what it is. am happy that he wasn't as stupid as i though he was & he didn't delete the vid - even though hiding this fact from Nine was redundant cause nine knowing the threat existed would've saved Wan the humiliation & heartache. also i don't get why no one is informing Wan that going into hiding & calling it quit's wasn't the end of the mess - the fans wouldn't forget or forgive & the sec he tried to return to his normal life (living with his sister & going back to collage they would be back at trying to attacking him. so telling Third to stop or give up was moronic & counterproductive & was doing himself & his family more harm then helping the situation. pity no one though to advise him on how anti-fans & cancel-culture works. *********************************************also i really don't get the dynamic between Third & his mother, so in this ep she got painted like a loving caring mother that was just annoyed that her child didn't want to rely on her & her power to get ahead in the world so she was throwing him to the dogs so he would learn how harsh the world without her umbrella was??? & now that he came begging & pleading for her help he was back in her graces?!? ok i guess - hard to buy that this was the case all along - but as that a side issue that was never gonna get explored it is what it is. ****************************************************************************************************throughout this BL i never dreamed that a insignificant side character that had almost no screen time would turn into the MVP by the end Wan's only fan-girl has turned into his super fan, she worth her weight in hundreds of Nine's fans. here she not just fighting for Wan online, she saving his sister & stalking Nine??? lol u go girl. ********************************************************i didn't think we would see Juno, even though a few eps back when Third mentioned that the parts in the BL he & Nine were gonna star in was initially meant to be Juno & Thi's i was sure that Nine was involved in their missing out on the part & even Thi's accident. so now Juno's back & he is leading the charge & yet from the preview it looked like Wan is the only that's gonna confront Nine - which is fitting as it's his fight. yet then why the group have to meet & if Renji was gonna release the vid - why now? what about his & Time's BL??? i don't get the logic & the conclusions - but will have to watch & see i guess. 2 more to go..

what a roller coaster ride this ep was, idk…

what a roller coaster ride this ep was, idk from where to start - at least now i get what Renji was up too & how Time is involved & why they agreed to withhold the vid that would exonerate Wan. & cause of this, i loved how Nine's devious conniving didn't just backfire on him, it came back to bite; North, Renji & Time on their collective asses- now that was karma in speedy action - sweet sweet just deserts. i always thought North should've dropped Nine's ass a few ep's back, so he had to pay the price for his stupidity - not that it looked like it bothered him much (the fine he had to pay). like Nine has too to, with all his genius planning he never stopped to think that maybe everyone would pay the price & not just Wan?!? but he the type that is very impulsive & can't think about the consequences, also this is cause until now, he has been ale to "act" his way out of any sticky situation & for his luck, he always encounters enablers / morons that gobble up everything he dishes out. was surprised Sunny didn't clock him & was even more shocked we didn't see Phich rejoicing over the chaos & Wut's potential downfall. guess we might see more of that, in the next ep as i doubt this is the end of "this"... ***********************************************************regarding the mains couple, of course my heart goes out to Wan & i think he didn't want to add Nine in the statement - not cause of Nine but cause he was thinking how it would effect Third, who was in the same BL/partnering & company as Nine. unlike Nine, Wan tries to see the 'bigger picture' & he wanted to wait until there was conclusive evidence - instead of jumping the gun. sadly this same "bigger picture" mindset, is the reason he decided to end things with Third, cause he didn't want him targeted as his sister was. personally i am still p*ssed at Third, for deciding what was best for Wan & getting rid of the only evidence that would exonerate him - still say that he should've known better then to trust Nine & even if he didn't want to publicize the vid, or give it to Wan, he should've held on to it, to hold it over Nine's head- so he keeps his word. then this mess wouldn't have happened. that's why IMO the one at fault for hurting Wan is Third not Nine. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************i was wondering who the girl was, that came to Veiw rescue (who acted stupidly trying to talk to 3 mean-girls, that showed-up to talk sh*t) the place was abandoned without a dog around & she's standing there arguing?!? she should've known better & should've tried to get out of that situation ASAP. so am glad the girl/fan Wan saved at the start (the one who had a panic-attack) is the knight in shinning armor in this ep - who would've thunk it. good on her. & am glad she understood Wan when he barged in & was kinda hostile towards her & she still was working hard on defending him online. heck in my book she did more then Third did this ep - sorry not sorry ugh! *****************************************************************************************regarding Wan's break down - i get it & my heart broke for him, but Cher & Wut should've explained that just cause he quit that wouldn't mean the harrasment would end, he would have to leave everything & disappear - go into hiding until he became old news & even then, if Nine became more famous he would always have fans that remember & would hound Wan trying to cancel him in real life (not his life, but his new job, or whatever he did) his family wouldn't be safe either. & i get that at that moment maybe Wut & Cher knew talking wouldn't help, cause he was having an utter break down, so they just let him vent. but someone needs to clue him in that fighting was the only way - running isn't, as he would have to run for the rest of his life - that NOT an option!

Episode 7 — The Light and Shadow of Selling a Couple

Patti’s debut is finally within reach, but the strategy is to sell more than music: his chemistry with Ranne is part of the package. That becomes complicated when the person he is being paired with is the senior he has admired since high school.There is a lovely sweetness between them as Ranne begins to notice Patti’s feelings, even while Patti refuses to admit them. Meanwhile, the other band members are unhappy about being pushed into the background. The producer sees numbers, but those numbers come with an emotional cost.Just as their growing popularity brings an album release into view, someone starts digging into Patti’s life, and online attacks follow. This sounds like a problem the Crow Club might be well equipped to handle, but I hope the resolution also helps Patti find some confidence in himself.Their song is rather lovely, too. I do sometimes wonder how much the consistently polished vocals we hear owe to recording and pitch correction, although that does not stop me from enjoying the music.My favourite detail is Patti’s posture: such a big guy, yet he seems to make himself smaller by slouching. Then he smiles beside Ranne, and suddenly he looks so bright and endearing. That contrast makes me want to root for him.

Amazing First Episode

We’re in a time skip where we see all four in a different light, and even more mature. Pheem (as always) helping others but has softened up, Khem has become more independent and even wrote a script that’s being produced, Jet owns his grandparents’ durian farm and attempting to take on a bigger responsibility, and Charn is focused on the hotel business while trying to maintain a balance with the rest of his life aspects. I really enjoyed that we’re getting a special with a plot that isn’t just about giving the audience lovey-dovey moments between the couples. It feels like a strong continuation of the main story while also giving us something new to enjoy about each character.A strong suit of Khemjira is that the story didn’t focus on one main couple with underwhelming side characters. It developed characters outside of them, each with a real purpose that strengthens the storyline, and the special does the same, which is very pleasing to see

Excited about the story

Fool in love is a drama I was earnestly waiting for after I saw the trailer, I had no prior knowledge of the novel or manhua and I only just started reading Manhua while waiting for new episodes. All I can say is I’ll give this show a 10/10. I like how they are both toxic and hence that somehow cancels out their toxicity towards each other. I love the expressions the actors make to convey the intent of their characters. What we need to understand(and something made more explicit in the manhua, bear in mind, I just started it) is that ing is an awfully shameless, ridiculously naughty, and vile OPENLY GAY MAN! Whereas Yok is quite young, an over thinker and overachiever, who’s drowning in the weight of family expectations, and still IN THE CLOSET AT THE BEGINNING. So looking at these dynamics, the show is very very interesting to watch unfold.

finally got through this

unfortunately dreading tamamori coming back ，that little boy causes nothing but problems. what an ending though. it’s really still too early for me to say anything about anypony. i did get to enjoy this batch of episodes though. kozue ，she is a major part of have things feelings of nuisance for but i do just have to be patient. the cards will lay out eventually. I’m goin g to elave it be. I’ll finish this song one day & get to see the verses in full context. i completely forgot. this episode ended with so much happening i forgot the main debtor of this episode. the family comes in when he finds out akamatsu’s role in his father’s suicide. a lot fo times these suffering children are written pretty poorly. there’sa always a lack of understanding of how children act out. but that’d be my only complaint the rest was solid. korisdu getting a bit in the scheme was fun though. i do enjoy her a lot in this show & I’m happy she gets to have her friend t@g along.
