that "i like u" at the end came from nowhere... like WTF. am sure i didn't miss anything - *******************************************this was ok but nothing really hooked me. i don't think Isumi looks like a minor - sorry. he looks mid 20's even late 20's wouldn't be a reach to assume & i guess that's down to that hair color, it ages him (i get that it was done cause that's how the character is in the manga was). *********************************************************************************************************************anyway the cop was friendly & courteous all of the time even when he was on the job, not a sec did i think he saw Isumi as anything but a stranger that he had a interaction with & then a part-timer he has courteous interactions as u do when u frequent the same shop.***************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: the sound track (when Isumi was cooking) did my head in. it utterly annoyed me & i love watching shows, drama & movies that revolve around cooking. but here i fast-forwarded that scene, cause i just couldn't suffer through that crap playing in the background.

Friday night thai drama night but friend 1 has a timer

OH MY GOD. This was a very hype episode oh my god. More lore with black and white. Sean and white have so much tension and I love them. Yok gay as fuck and that is so real. You know what hell yeah. Good for them. Really good for them. Whoever is on the soundtrack needs to be fired immediately and so happy to be back for Friday night Thai drama night for the second episode of Not Me. There is so much chemistry and so many hot men it is overwhelming. But I am excited 9/10. Wait and whoever put first and Gawain together is going to hell because why? Lmao. They said they can only have one skinny small guy and it's going to be gun. Okay bye! Friend 1: this show is so incredibly fuck ass. Its so funny and i am THOROUGHLY enjoying myself. Episode 2 gets a 6.5/10. WHITE’S EXISTENCE IS LITERALLY RAGE BAIT BRO IM DYIN. HES SO ANNOYING. THE POINT OF BEING UNDER COVER IS TO BE UNDER COVER!!! It makes for a fun watch though, so ill deal with the anger that comes with it. Points detracted because the episode dragged, because white’s stupidity made me mad, and because of the fuck ass seizure moment, points added for YOK SKETCHING THE MYSTERIOUS ART GUY OMG I WAS SO GAGGED SUCH A GOOD CLIP, and also because sean and the friend who taught white to ride the motorbike are so freaking hot. There was another moment that i liked but i currently have no recollection of what it was so oh well. See you in the next ep! I have high hopes 🀩 friend 1 over and out.7/10so guys i’ve officially been given a time limit to do these, so we’re gonna move hard and fast with these now 🫢πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ. This ep was def better than the first bc we got somewhere with the character relationships (bikes forever πŸ–€πŸοΈπŸοΈπŸοΈ- shoutout to friend 1 for the impeccable motorcycle impressions) (charcoal painting of naked guys πŸ‘¨β€πŸŽ¨ πŸ–€πŸ«¦ fan fic ahh core). Seriously tho, 🍳 (yok) and that dan guy seem like they got potential. With all of that said tho, we again need to address the issue in this room. White how the actual fuck are you so bad at pretending. ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY ANYMORE, ALL THE β€œi quit πŸ˜’β€ and β€œthis isn’t right πŸ˜’β€ BS IS MAKING WANT TO KILL YOU MYSELF HOLY SHIT. He’s gotta get it together fr like thank god his friend in the gov or whatever he does actually said it to him at the end. The fire was pretty sick tho (even if it was a bit over the top with the cutscene 😭πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯). Other things that were cool: that guy who was talking to White before their exam is hype af (smartest character in the show so far hands down thank god someone gets common sense πŸ™πŸ™‡). Also WOMEN EXIST HOLY SHIT β€ΌοΈβ€ΌοΈπŸ§β€β™€οΈπŸ§β€β™€οΈπŸ§β€β™€οΈ. LIKE ACTUALLY A NEW RECORD THREE TALKING YOUNG WOMEN ITS INSANE. (plus the one doing the spray paint seemed cool af 🎨). AND ALSO THAILAND THINKS BLACK LIVES MATTERERRRR (IN PENNSYLVANIA DELAWARE AND LIKE TWO OTHER STATES SPECIFICALLY πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ). Hopefully these gay relationships make it out alive there too. Well with all of that said, let’s hope White and the rest of them get STRONGERRR πŸ–€πŸ”₯🏍️ (see you again core fr lmao) (and what is it with these song choices 😭😭)-friend 2 ✌️

short but sweet & kinda adorable. am glad they kept this PG as IMO the whole setting was more fitting for pure, innocent love then something more mature. also they just starting... so it made this that much more dreamy & innocent, i liked it***************************************************************************************************************************************************but Kakeru is my favorite, he was a joy from start to finish & even though i didn't feel like he had any bad-points to him, he kept working on himself to do better & worked hard in not just accepting but understanding & then reciprocating Yamato feelings. anyone would be luck if they fell for someone as considerate, kind & big hearted as Kakeru.

wow one more ep to go, this zoomed by while i didn't notice. love Kakeru, he is such a big hearted guy. am glad that Hosaka, Amamiya & even Mikoto r pushing the guys to get over their personal hang-ups & communicate... ********************************but personally i didn't think Kakeru had anything to apologize for, but he such a kindhearted dude & an empath that i aint shocked he rushed to take equal responsibility. still being insecure & wanting reaffirmation's isn't a bad thing, not when the whole crush thing was sprung on u out of the blue, by a person u basically grew-up with. having questions is logical.

wanting to be closer to his heart is great,…

wanting to be closer to his heart is great, but that doesn't mean through his body. like talk about fast tracking the relationship. dude went from 0 to 100 in a blink. i am just thankful he stopped when Kakeru said "stop!" was terrified that a sweet, cute moment would turn dark in a blink. ************************************************************************************************************************************************i love Kakeru, he isn't just adorable - he might come off like a big, fluffy puppy full of fun & energy, someone who can't be serious or isn't capable of being introspective. but he isn't compassionless, he didn't disregard Yamato's feelings, he gave him the time to say his peace & when it was his turn, was very considerate of Yamato's feeling when giving his reply. wish could say the same for Yamato, dude is a bit self involved. *************************************************************************************& it's not that i can't get the fact, that Yamato's a teen full of angst & hormones, who finally feels like his unrequited love is within arms reach, so he is rushing it in the hopes that they will be over the hurdle of starting the relationship & be a couple. *******************************************************************************************************************************************but Kakeru told him he needs time to think, the fact he was wondering what Yamato found in an average guy like him (his perspective - which i don't agree with) wasn't an invite for Yamato to jump his bones. like i said Yamato is thinking only about himself & how he sees things, not really taking Kakeru's want's, need's or thoughts into consideration. now am wondering if Yamato will again run away instead of trying to fix the problem he created but communicating with Kakeru ...

Episode 4 - If his life is a sin, but for TY, he is someone who deserves to live.

Tan Yin can't stand the wait and insists on entering the precinct of spiritual refinement. But then the doors open and Yuan Zhong, in his white clothes, dejected expression, in a wheelchair, appears. TY questions Elder DingXi who looks at her strangely. YZ in a weak voice calms her down and she pushes him in the wheelchair. The immortal servant asks Elder Ding Xi why not drain Yuan Zhong all at once by removing his blood, instead of day by day? The elder replies that there is no host that supports the divine hand. And the divine hand is fed by the essence of the host's blood, if they drain the host, they may not find another. (These people are cruel and insensitive. YZ is just an object to them, which can be thrown into the trash can at any time.). On the way, Yuan Zhong says that he is cold and TY takes a blanket from the magic bag and covers it. Tan Yin desperately tries to tell YZ that the refinement is fake. But YZ just says she doesn't understand. Hiding in the forest, the young general Tang Hua observes this conversation, then sees Elder DX's heavenly servant pass by, and his gaze is a look of dissatisfaction. The female elder arrives to take care of YZ who is arriving in a wheelchair. He tells the female elder that every time he does the refinement he dreams of a passage to the celestial realm. And he feels that he will become a god. The female elder smiles complacently. She talks to YZ, takes care of him, but when she leaves, YZ throws away the medicine she delivered to him. YZ tells his servant that the female elder does it against her will, but she does. TY is summoned to ascend to the celestial dimension. Arriving there, TY is informed that the council of the gods, of discipline, wants to talk to her. She goes to the council of gods who summon her to fulfill her function of killing Yuan Zhong and bringing back the divine artifact, the divine hand. Tan Yin seriously talks about all his reasons for not accepting to do this to YZ, because he is a good person, and he is being mistreated and exploited by his countrymen, he lives confined as in a prison. The council of gods says that YZ is really a cruel person and he deserves to die. TY does not agree and says that the life of the gods is eternal and that of an immortal like him, still human, he has a determined life. So she prefers to let YZ live his whole life and only then withdraw the divine hand. She reaffirms that she accepts all the consequences and says a famous phrase from the trailers: "She accepts all the consequences. But if YZ is a sin for you, for her he deserves to live." And the gods must protect all living beings, killing him would be against the laws of the heavens. Due to TY's insistence, the Elders say that she doesn't know Yuan Zhong's heart, so they make her enter a circular door of bright white fire and there she goes to be feeling and seeing Yuan Zhong's heart. Inside it's cold and icy, and TY feels the cold and harsh weather of that place. When she leaves there, she reassures the Elders that Yuan Zhong is indeed a good person. Hannu witnessed all of this, trying to defend Tan Yin, but deep down wanting TY to give up her determination. But, TY still dares to accept the oath of the spiritual heart by swearing to follow 3 conditions left by the council of gods: 1-Yuan Zhong will not be able to follow the path of evil; 2- Ty can't fall in love with him. 3-Ty must not reveal her identity to any person. If it does not fulfill the 3 conditions it will cease to exist completely (until its spirit will be extinguished). TY went out on his mechanical bird to look for the fruit that Yuan Zhong mentioned, a bitter fruit when it entered the mouth and then sweet when chewed. Yuan Zhong slept two days and two nights, upon waking up he talked to his servant who explained Tang Hua's situation (when YZ asked about him). I learned that TH had quarreled with a soldier, but did not kill him. (It seems that YZ and TH were friends, and the friendship weakened for some reason.). Yuaz Zhong asks for TY and is told that she has been sleeping for 4 days. YZ is in the courtyard with his helper and they hear an explosion, suddenly realizing TY. She says she's making the food, and makes an excuse. She says that she has already asked that no cook come, that she will cook for him herself. YZ and his helper are scared by the proposal, but they don't say anything to the contrary. When she brought the food to them, they were a little frightened by the appearance of the food. She promises that she will stay with Yuan Zhong until the end of her life, and will not abandon him. She says that Yuan Zhong is a good person, and he starts coughing. When she leaves, Yz tells the helper that TY seems to have some problem with his head. Elder DingXi realizes that the contents taken from Yuan Zhong's body, stored in some of the jars, have disappeared. This happened because Zidhai took the pill and took it to cure her father. Zidhai's servant asks her to return with her to her father to take the pill. Since she has regained her youth, she can do that. But she doesn't accept it. He leaves. A short time later, soldiers from the council of elders arrive at Zidhai's house to search for the pill. Zidhai calmly acts as if nothing has happened and lets them rummage through. Yuan Zhong tells TY that the fruit she brought cannot be eaten because to have the characteristic flavor it should have been eaten right when it was picked, and now it can even be toxic. The necklace around YZ's neck starts flashing. TY approaches and opens the opening of YZ's shirt a little to look. YZ is embarrassed. She says she thinks the necklace is monitoring his steps and tracking him. And that's when his servant arrives and also leaves embarrassed. TY studies the design of YZ's collar collar and is determined to be able to unlock the artifact and free YZ. Again TY arrives in YZ's room and stares at the necklace around YZ's neck. She holds the figure of the necklace. YZ points to the door for her to leave. The episode ends with Tan Yin leaning on the chest of a YZ who is unconscious in his room at night. He wakes up and asks looking into TY's eyes: what is she doing?

the thing that frustrates me about Yamato…

the thing that frustrates me about Yamato is that he is all in his head, he thinks too much, coming to conclusions of how things will play out - & decides sh*t without actually letting them play out in real time. it's not that i don't get his fears, but it's also very frustrating to see him in action. all the pushing done not only by Hosaka but Amamiya made him face his true feelings & even admit it to them, even admit his fears. but he made it clear he wont do the same with Kakeru. ******************************ironically he is the one Yamato needs to be candid with, so even though i am a bit miffed that he didn't go find Kakeru, but Kakeru had to come find him, am glad he finally confessed. even though i was surprised that he kissed him 1st, a verbal confession was needed before the kiss IMO... but it is what it is.******************************************************************************************************************************************************************Akane is a sweetheart & am glad that even though this hurt her, the pain wont last long. i like her more then most of the girls that r after Yamato. she the perfect example of quality over quantity γƒΎ(≧▽≦*)o

found it weird Hosaka saying that people hated him cause he spoke his mind, even though i guess not everyone wants to hear the truth.. am guessing that is what he meant. but he turning into the main couples cupid. he pushing both guys to communicate with each other & be truthful about what/how they feel. so i am grateful for him.. but given the always sad look about him i have a feeling he also suffering from a crush that he can't confess too.. maybe i am wrong - time will tell

Summer Strike Episode 12

the greatest chemistry ever seen

summer strike was the first korean show i've watched and it's one of the greatest and most comfortable shows i've ever seen, and the reason for that is that there's a sense of simplicity in its story, two introverts falling in love in a library and seolhyun and im siwan are SO talented actors that thay managed to transmit this without saying ONE word of romantic declaration for each other, i found myself having butterflies watching their scenes together, the feeling i had was as if i was in his shoes.i think what makes this drama so different from all the others is that its main characters are the definition of loving through attitudes not words, like what do you mean the guy measured the floor for buying her new shoes?? THATS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!something i had a problem is that when it comes to their romance, the story unfolds relatively slow β€” i didn't know at the time that's is a strong feature of korean dramas β€” they didnt have the hurry to create their approximation, and usually that's a good thing but in this case i thought it's very delayed. also the mystery vibe works fine but they build it without any importance throughout the season, it has a great plot twist at the end but it almost felt like it was another show on the last 2 episodes, it creates kind of an inconsistency of genres, but it's not like that'd ruin the experience, it keeps being perfect.and the fact that you know it's a limited series with no chance to have more seasons genuinely HURTS. it's such a GOOD atmosphere, i'm astonished (and stuck). i'll always come back to watch this show again whenever i feel i'm needing it.now potential spoilers ⚠️🚨the fact that ended up the whole series without having ONE KISS is quite disappointing. yes, i understand why they chose this path, but after waiting so much and the characters exploding a chemistry never seen before, finishing the last episode without giving us a physical scene was the only flaw of the entire show for me, i'm truly sad. even though the season story it's pretty round and conclusive, i'd die for a second season.9/10. recomend 100%

Marriage life with full of plots....

The daughter is so cute, but sad that she cannot provide her what she wants, motherly love. FL is now full of revenue mood, she forgot how to love people. It's sad, but I'm sure it will change in the future once this plotting is over.

Okay, I no longer expect too much romance....but the plots are great

Wife and husband hand in hand, they are true crim/plots in partners.Both forgot what's important, that human love. They are full of anger and plots mindset. Hopefukky thought out their hardcore plotting, they will realize what's most important in their life.

even though Yamato knows he is infatuated with Kakeru, he isn't ready to actually confesses or maybe he is more fearful of the reaction, that's why there is this back & forth. but he is confusing Kakeru with this push & pull. as is Kakeru needs to deal with his own feelings about how he feels regarding his childhood friend. *************************************************************************************************************************************************was right & Hosaka noticed that Yamato got a crush on Kakeru , ironically so does Yamato's sister. & both of them gave him more or less the same advise. but he needs to decide if he is ready to face his fears & stand before Kakeru, not running away the sec it gets uncomfortable or too realistic. *************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i really like the guys teacher, even though Kakeru is falling behind he isn't neglectful or given up as a lost cause, he keeps trying to help Kakeru. kinda endearing & what a teacher should be

so Kakeru can't face his or rather Yamato's…

so Kakeru can't face his or rather Yamato's feelings towards him. understandable, 6 more eps for feelings to develop & come to fruition. both guys r not ready at this sate for different reasons. ********************************************************************like the friend's - Kosuke specifically, seems a close friend to Kakeru. & i like him so far. the other guys in that group r also cute, but Yui is off, idk if he feels so to me cause he realizes that Yamato got feelings for Kosuke, or maybe he is interested in Yamato... either way for now idk about him.
