REWATCH FIRST THOUGHTS AGAIN

Cheng Lei in the armor with the blood on his face was the best visual to start off with getting introduced to his character. You can instantly tell the deep care He Yan has for the Xiao general, who mentored her and gave her the sword. It’s not just a power play for her, but for He Rufei it is. Xiao Jue gave her the last osmanthus candy in the world when he didn’t know who she was. He simply comforted her and motivated her to live even if blind. I’m noticing so much I didn’t when I first watched it. “Bitter on the outside, sweet on the inside.” Describes Xiao Jue perfectly. He also lied to her saying the moon was pretty, starting the symbol of the moon with their relationship. He Yan is so powerful, the fact she used her hearing and other senses to hold up a fight that long, unarmed is amazing.

Damned if ya do, damned if ya don’t

Rin is frustrating the hell outa me. She needs constant affirmation about where Taiga stands and his actions tell her quite plainly if she’d simply pay attention. He puts her feelings first and is waiting for her to make up her mind about what she wants to do. She claims to want away from her mom’s plans, but she has nothing to seriously counter them with. Even after her mini tantrum Taiga runs after her to be rejected. Her mind bubble conversation used ‘our’ in her musings when truth be told it was ‘her’ will that lacked. He can’t force someone to stay when they’re ambivalent about it and for now, he doesn’t make enough to just accommodate her on his dime. His friend is making impact with her translated menus and I wish she would get together with Rin’s senior. They seem much better suited. Taiga’s ex might be testing the waters since she knows Rin might go home. It’s ironic that Taiga was kicked to the curb by ex for not having his mind made up for future and Rin kicked him to the curb because he did. For now, she is the one too undecided and unsure of herself to handle a relationship. Her senior will be more than happy to step in, and probably will, but I don’t see it going better for them. He will at least have her Mom’s blessing and better finances, but this is again why he would be best suited for Taiga’s friend. I want Taiga’s catering job to go well but I am not convinced he should reconsider his ex. She left him for not meeting her standard and never looked back. Rin is making the same mistake. In this episode, none of the established couples seem like they should be together. I kinda want Rin to go home and get her act together because she’s not doing that in Japan.

Crash, boom, bang

One has to love those anthology miniseries, as they get to the good stuff quickly. Here we got a strong 2nd episode of the SurfJava temple love tour which included banter, teasing, tension, a proper climax and a smart subversion of expectations (just when you think Tum escaped with Oh's pants, he comes in with a knowing little smile). As a duo Surf and Java work here much better than in H2H - mostly, I think, because of tonal differences between the shows. Same applies to Surf, who seems much more relaxed and comfortable portraying Tum than he was with Farm. The entire "give me your pants" scene is an instant BL classic; Surf moving his hand to Java's waist sealed the deal.

Looking at everything that acting should have…

Looking at everything that acting should have from many angles, unfortunately Peat Wasuthorn Chaijindar is a very bad actor, you can read his face in advance what he will do or say. It can be seen that he did not graduate in acting, but was trained. Fort Thitipong Sanggey is solid.As for the script and the series itself, there are many ambiguities, the director thinks that we are in his shoes and that we know what is happening, it is so confusing and he runs from stage to stage in a period of a month, 6 months and even a year, so it is very confusing to watch. We don't know what the director had in mind, we are not in his head.

how ironic, i started this detesting Jimmy…

how ironic, i started this detesting Jimmy (& it's not that i love him now, but i don't actively hate him) not with Toh & Teh topping that list, like WTF... the way Teh is acting, i genuinely believe he "wants" Jimmy, dude is constantly thinking about & following him around, like a lost puppy. heck he cares more for him, then his own brother - he might say he cares for them equally - sorry family comes 1st & from where i am sitting Jimmy wasn't a good friend - period. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** & Fah (the ultimate power bottom) is the only sane/smart one in this BL - if i was him, i would've dropped Teh the sec i realized he was trying to setup his brother back with Jimmy. cause that tells me there's something not right with Teh's thought process & i donno if i would want to be in a relationship with someone that f*cked in the head, sorry not sorry, his priorities r messed up. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** really like the dentist & knew he is gonna get unnecessarily used & then tossed aside - meeh very cliché. heck maybe Fah can be with him. cause the more i watch this, the more immature Toh seems & now it's logical why he fell for an immature moron like Jimmy. if Toh was mature, he would've been candid with the Dentist (when he asked him the 2nd time to be his bf) & told him that he was getting over a recent break-up & he needed time, instead of playing coy -that's just annoying ! but we 2 eps from the end & "we" need to drag this out, so we get the "happily ever after" in the last ep. personally i don't feel there was enough time to see a growth in any character, for anyone to buy the sudden 180 with Jimmy, let alone Toh who was a doormat from the start, how/why he suddenly grow a backbone?? oh well i just hope they don't harm the cat - like a "boy who cried wolf" scenario - leave the cat of this mess thank U
