whenever Seok Cheol thinks he is finally out…

whenever Seok Cheol thinks he is finally out "they" pull him back in. dude can't catch a break. if it aint Tae Hun it's his old gang. O Sang Yeol heard Seok Cheol wanted out & he wasn't even tempted when Boss Kim told him that he was a better fitting 2nd in command then O Sang Yeol. he couldn't just leave well enough alone. & not enough his mind is rotted he got the "rat" Yeon Gi egging him on. *********************************************************************************************************************but keeps fighting hard to keep things civil - dude is a saint & sadly saint becomes saints cause they r sacrificed. *****************but am glad that at least Mi Yeong admitted to him that she didn't want to break-up. yeah it was more a selfish admission then altruistic. but i don't blame her. ******************************************************************************************************Seok Hui on the other hand was altruistic in her sacrifice for her family. but one can be selfish & selfless all in one as her telling her bf - he gonna leave her behind was a d*ck move. like she wasn't happy for him when he thought he was getting promoted. she asked him if he even took her into consideration & i ask the same of her. & then she was ready for a long distance relationship as long as she could peruse her dreams, why can't he? especially when the he isn't gonna get promoted is cause he wasn't ready to abandon his connectionless gf. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i have read a couple of comments disliking this drama as a whole or certain parts of it... & as of this ep i genuinely am baffled as to why. this is well written & acted. there isn't a boring moment & i can't find fault. yeah there character's u like more & others u like less but isn't that down to good acting?!?? ***************************************************************************& regarding Lee Sung Kyung as Mi Yeong yes the actress is glamorous & gorgeous but her character here is rather bland. but given her trauma in the past & the hard life she has been living in the present can one blame her? yeah she could be the usual overacting fragile damsel in distress, but i like that we see a different FL type - who is reserved & stoic.. but when it's needed she shows her emotion's. bottom line i don't see what others r complaining about. is it perfect - nope, but nothing is.

am confused as to why Tae Hun ordered the…

am confused as to why Tae Hun ordered the "white truck" treatment, when Seok Cheol told him that he resigned. was that just cause Seok Cheol is dating Mi Yeong. guess given the threat he made to her u can't really think otherwise. but giving in to him means what? breaking up with Seok Cheol & then dating Tae Hun or just breaking up without any strings attached?!??? ********but thankful that at least this time around she faced him, just up & disappearing on him a 2nd time would be ruthless. & she knows how much he suffered the 1st time around. so am glad she chose to tell him. even though i doubt he will understand or be ready to go along with her proposal. **********************************************************************************************Seok Hui closing her account was to give to her family - that i got, but the question is, does this mean she is stuck in Korea as she can afford to study & work abroad?!? how ironic here the younger sister is sacrificing, while the older sister is trying to mooch of someone new.

kajiki very valuable player ,hijiri will be remembered

this was actually a very good episode. one thing that especially dampens it is that the actors just stand there in the back+ground of fights ,not even like non+playable characters in video games ,matsumoto reiya literally just stands there. no posture ,no emoting ,no stance. hijiri's brother also just sat there until he got the cue that the earth quaked & a lightnming bolt hit his spot with no reaction to anything happening before. i actually don't hate them standing in a fixed spot like a non+playable character BUT THEY DON'T MOVE. THEY LITERALLY STOP ACTING. SPECIFICALLY REIYA ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ on the other hand ,kabe amon as kajiki was fun to watch here ,it really is easier to watch an actor throw themself into a silly character than a stoic one. i think rinne's scare+less gimmick is very plasticky in execution but i do like the trait. but i really did like the twist of hijiri being corruptable. she is honestly a very well+written character. we get to see her & her interest & her job because of that interest & we see that passion & hope be the thing that reminds her she is a human with a dream to run to instead of giving up & letting the dark consume her & everypony else. i really like her.

Seok Cheol can't catch a break, from the start the only thing he wants is out of the gang life, but circumstances keep pulling him back in. but from what i have come to know of him, he will decline the offer - cause he has had enough for a while now of the thug life. the question is how this gonna come back to bite him. Tae Hun backed off for now, but we got O Sang Yeol who is gonna be butthurt, cause Boss Kim told Seok Cheol he saw him as the best replacement. that hit will be too much for O Sang Yeol's ego - *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this whole ep was such an emotional roller costar ride, the only one i didn't care to watch was Seok Gyeong, she has gone from mooching of her younger sister to mooching of her family. & ironically if she gets with Byeong Su, she will mooch off him without a 2nd thought. i pity her son cause sooner or later something will make her go after the easy win & then she will abandon him anew. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the scene between Seok Hui & her father was so touching, he has humiliated himself so much cause he doesn't want to add to the burden of his son, yet he needs to beg & plead so his family will still have a roof above their heads, once everything is said & done. but he can't show or share his burden with anyone, cause of his personality & cause he knows he can't have others suffer. so Seok Hui realizing & offering him some comfort, was so heartwarming. *********************************************************regarding Mi Yeong & Tae Hun i don't even know what to say. cause if Mi Yeong tried a different more kinder approach in the hopes he will finally listen to her & back off - he will just thing she is softening & if he persist she will cave & be with him. i doubt there is anything she can say or do - anyone can say or do that will make him stop.*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i really like Tae Hun's 2nd hand-man (the cute guy with the long hair) yeah he is a bad-guy but he isn't that bad. unlike Cheon Ho, it seems like he craves violence. even though now i am pretty sure that the person that stabbed Seok Cheol at the start of ep 1 is U Seok [School Bully], who am now sure will be sent by O Sang Yeol. which will be ironic as Seok Cheol has done his best to divert U Seok for a life in a gang. the irony

Tae Hun is delusional & very narcissistic,…

Tae Hun is delusional & very narcissistic, he wants things his way & he usually has the approach of a bull in a china shop, but of course everyone not gonna bend to his will, then he acts like the aggrieved party - who is justified to act however he wants, cause he isn't to blame - others pushed him too it. this has been his clear MO with Mi Yeong & cause he wants what he can't have - he is "finding" fault with Seok Cheol, blindly taking the word of a "rat" - not thinking he knows Seok Cheol better, that maybe he shouldn't blindly take the word of a person that is willing to sell out his own people, not wondering if he is wrong/lying - is a "rat" trustworthy?!? but it serves Tae Hun's delusions, so he is happily planning to hurt someone that has always taken his side & tried to support him, at the worst of times. *****************************************************************i am happy that Seok Gyeong came back home at the end - but i don't like this character at all - she is selfish & i doubt her coming back is gonna change her behavior or fix the mess she has caused. but at least her child will be happy his mother is back.

a new man i want inside of rikuo has appeared

i veryt much liked this episode. there is a lot of mystery to this episode because we really only hint & not explain gaored a bit. bytr what i am talkin g about is mostly about rikuo. we get a bit of his ethos showned to us for him to switch & fight the idea of control which is kind've the first time I've seen this brought up for his character i think ,that he is being controlled. i really have no idea what this all fully entails. i do not hate it though ,it is interesting & can be elaborated eksewhere. i like when the fight of the episode is just a fun silly little game ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i also like how the team is used. sumino is off elsewhere & ties back to join the fight in a fun way to show off gaored's power. i like also that because she was missing earlier she gets to use tegasword & it is reasonably side+lined. i usually have a critique about how super sentai pairs female sentais with female villains who are implied to be weaker & i think it is so belittling however i have no complaints with it here. that's because i think bouquet is a really good villain who differs from firecandler in personality but she is also incredibly strong. kinjiro has a cute moment that utilizes the fact that the zyuoh form is also an eagle. ryugi kind've doesn't really matter here but he got to supplement hoeru which is fine ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ back to bouquet i also think it was really cool how they built up the supsense to this particular no.1. this was a really good first part of the story. we have a vague understanding of what is going on which will most likely be contextualized in the next episode. these are technically rikuo episodes & his character feels even more mysterious ,which fits because he is currently a suspect of sumino's sister. i like where this is going. i also rreally enjoyed this episode for how it honors sun vulcan ,as somepony who has never seen sun vulcan. when rikuo dons the ring there are these old school effects here & there blended with the modern graphics rikuo belongs too. i think this episode also has an older sentai song in the fight which i think is cool to homage all three different time periods rikuo's rings came from.

Contains spoilers

This episode managed to surpass the first one. The story is flowing so well yet it does not seem rushed. All the characters are so well portrayed and explained and you feel all the feelings for each one of them I need to give the hugest compriment to Offroad Kantapon's acting. He embodies the character of Pheem, his acting goes deep under your skin from how good and heartfelt it is. The bath scene alone should get him so many awards.And Daou is so well fit to play Than, because the character is a very funny and calm personality, almost puppy like, with a hint of serious and misterioys due to his backstory and Daou has managed to pull that off to a t.Cannot wait to see what the series has in stores for us but it is for sure one of the best things to look forward to saturday to.

Solving and tackling new problems and threats

Dr Yu Yiming went for lunch with Qiao Lin and she proved her warm heart in welcoming Xu Wenjin, a new female neurosurgeon (played by Li Ao, a young actress who has been acting in support in regular dramas or main roles in mini dramas since 2020). Although Qiao Lin again got overlooked in her job, because of her rustic family, she kept her positive attitude, cultivating her friendship with Dr Yu and asking him to tutor her with evening classes for remedial learning. She was spontaneously supported by her two girl friends. [Yao Yao (played by Smile Wei, a longtime friend and colleague of Zhao Lusi) and Guan Guan (played by Gao Rong, another colleague and friend of Zhao Lusi, who also appeared, like Smile Wei did, in 2024"The Story of Pearl Girl") had been working at odd jobs when Qiao Lin had shared an apartment with on arriving in Jingzhou, but Qiao Lin remained faithful to these new friends.]Meanwhile, Xu Yan found a way to reassure Haochen that they need not be enemies, but could be allies to get the boy what he needed. Both Haoming and his parents were impressed by the depth of her care. Haoming seemed moved when he heard her confide that "A happy childhood can heal you a lifetime ; but an unhappy one takes a lifetime to heal." He gave her a car, but she softly chided that he "was a typical CEO" and that his love had become "transactional".The threats from Zhou Zeming to Xu Yan became more blatant, Despite the three threads of story here (Qiao Lin and Dr Yu ; Xu Yao and Haochen + family ; Zhou Zeming as antagonist) weaving in and out without much intersection yet, seeds of unrest were sown.

we are goiong steady on the run+way

i think the future of zeztz is going to be almost entirely multi+part episodes ,which i think can be a really good thing. but then that will become a formula. i knew that the stalker was a red herring as soon as fujimi was gun+ho about that being the true story ,i love that he sucks at his job j.';';.j;'.;.'h;'. miyuki fearing heights is actually a nice twist. this is something the audienmce of children can relate to & it's kind've nice to not see another story about a woman centering romance. she already made the decision to marry she isn't incompetent & can't do what she truly wants ,she is a person beyond which man loves her who has a real phobia she cannot shake. i feel like the ending is just okay. a part of me begins to wonder if i want baku to actually help her by resolving her fear but like . . . we are already short on time & like this isn't something you just fix over night. i do like the idea that he makes sure they can live to become better ,I've been really fascinated by what actually makes a hero a hero in their story. i liked this episode ,i can feel this series' formula looming over though but it will be a problem when it becomes a problem.
