sorry but this was a moronic ep. the bit with Only was adorable, sweet & fun. but the rest was stupid. 1st off Hero isn't stupid, but why does he turn so, when he is around that disgusting cousin of his?!? he was more or less a prisoner when he went to America, he can't use the phone, can't go out like WTF & he has to drug him to get a hold of his cousins phone?!? which he then discovers has video evidence of everything (private) he did. this not infuriating enough (as he was the one that took the phone without permission), but then the cousin proceeds to blackmail him. & not once does Hero fly off the handle? it's like nothing monumental happened? not only is there a vid of him jerking-off, but of his lover doing the same - that not justify punching someone's lights-out??? i don't care if they related or not. ***************************************************************************& then the same f*cker walks in on u & takes pic's while ur getting-it-on, still u chose to focus on the wrong sh*t instead of beating the crap out of him, breaking the phone to destroy the evidence - like what the actual f*ck!!!**********************************************************************************************************************************************& sorry but Pop wasn't justified in acting the aggrieved party. Hero was justified in getting angry & demanding answers. would he have loved to find out that while Hero had videocalled & gotten naked let alone intimate, he was in someone else room & bed, nude(!), while that other person was also laying besides him???? even if that person was alseep - would Pop have not made a big deal about it??? & would be justified in doing so? two wrongs don't make a right & he needed to clear things up period! ironically not only with Hero but with Only. ********************************************************************************************************************************************the situation with the father aint surprising, both guys r living in the open as if they don't know how conservative people r, or how dogmatic & rigid his own father is. as his father tends to show-up unannounced, cause he might have bought Hero a place, but that still HIS place(!) so he doesn't need to inform anyone that he is coming. so this type of thing was gonna happen sooner or later. personally i think Hero should hit back. that's the only language his father will understand - power. & now that he got the money from his cousin, he can stand on his own two feet. so bowing & taking a beating or worse is totally b.s. - i don't care that he is the father & deserves respect - that doesn't come into the equation, when he's this violent.

They should've filmed in Korea

1. They should've ensured that the Korean prod team had control of filming in Japan. The shift in style and quality was too obvious.I am not saying that the Japanese have low quality production, rather, this is a common pitfall when filming in other countries. To save budget, the foreign production hires local prod to handle things. This often changes the style and quality. I'm from the Philippines, and I can tell if certain scenes were actually filmed in our country or not, and if they hired/partnered with local prod and gave them more control or not.Some scenes from Mission Impossible filmed in Asian countries also suffered the same. The Jason Bourne spin-off was the same. Some 007 films filmed in Latin America had similar issues.Yes, it's also possible that for them to get a permit to film, they were required to give the local prod more control. Then they should've declined and filmed in Korea instead of going to elsewhere. Different countries have different styles and qualities in filming. It was obvious here in E05.2. They wasted screentime "touring" Japan that was not actually a tour. Was it to showcase Japan? Because honestly, they did not showcase anything. Mt. Fuji? They did not even go to the best place to see Mt. Fuji. Foot spa? Dinner?And the outdoor scenes were mainly close-ups. We can't see "Japan" at all. The culture. The people. The life. They kept the frames up close and personal. Many of it were done inside a car too!If they can't show the environment, then why bother filming in Japan? For the brand sponsorship? If the reason is "because of Korean and Japanese sensitivities", again, why film there?3. What's with the filter? Were they trying to present Japan as a country stuck in the 1200s? Then they should've "toured" where samurais are.4. And talk about culture and touring. What was with the WIND scenes about its products with a very sleepy dialogues and "tour presentation"? Who told them to do it in a sleepy and very boring way?"These are blah blah blah."Dead air"And these are blah blah blah."Dead air"He's cute.""That's his son."Dead air.What the F?!! Get lively people. The CEO should've been proud and excited to present their achievements. The actor is a good actor, so who told him to do it that way? Unless he was sick when it was filmed? 5. The negotiation room. That was the best they can get in Japan? 6. The dialogues they gave the Japanese, they should've let a Japanese adjust it so it's natural. And the sake scene, was that even needed? That the Japanese people are greedy, ambitious, conniving employees? Practically every culture is like that, and K-drama revilves around that, so why repeat the same trope for a Japan scene?I can't even feel "The Art of Negotiation" with a Japanese company in Japan. Are they trying to depict that Japanese companies are greedy and is out to take advantage of foreign companies? That there is "art" in negotiating with them, there is only "war"?E05 = 0 stars.

this felt like a filler ep, which was neither here nor there, as there was some cute, funny moments but also i can't just brush off how aggravated i was at Pop in the previous ep. unlike Hero i can't forgive or forget. so them just moving along like he didn't act like a complete & utter douche is bothering me. *************************************************************************************but on a whole cute ep, if u focus on the funny bits & no Pop getting jealous not one of them. after what he put Hero through it's just deserts. the only pity, is that Hero rushes to reassure him at every turn so can't say the satisfaction is prolonged.
