i am blown away with the acting & the plot... this is hella twisted, but so well done i am impressed - poor Pheem, Jira on the other hand i don't pity much. yeah i get that his main reason for not following Pheem, was the money & when u r poor, u can't just up a leave a well paying job - heck u will put up with so much, just to keep it cause u know that it's not easy to find work, let alone a well paying position. *********************************************************************************************************but the reason i don't feel that bad for Jira is cause he is using Pheem, he is keeping him "hanging" cause Pheem has become a life line that is there to save him, if he gets too deep & starts drowning cause of Koh. he has had ample opportunities to be with Pheem, but he always back out at the last moment & it's cause, after being around Kho he knows deep down that he isn't as attracted to Pheem. & the worse part, he doesn't care that he is hurting Pheem, he might say sorry but if he really meant it, he would stop! & after the way Koh played them both - he might as well have slapped the pair, seeing the hurt in Pheem's face, yet Jira chose to let him leave alone. hard to feel bad for him, as am sure Pheem was hurting more getting betrayed by Kho & Jira. ****************************************************************************************************************************************on Koh's part, i get that after who knows how long of living is solitude, letting Jira into his safehouse (even if he didn't want to), he has started to develop feelings. hard not to, when Jira isn't just a novelty & a distraction, he is also a side effectless sleeping aid & his art is the cherry on top - seeing himself in a new light or through Jira's eyes touched a part of him that he thought he had long locked away or lost. *********************************************************************************************************but i doubt he is capable of loving - he is too messed-up & uninterested in humans to really allow himself to give of himself totally to another, he also doesn't trust anyone - so idk what he wants or can offer to another - will have to wait & see -

guess Jira's muse is Koh & that's why he couldn't draw Pheem... but Pheem really needs to stop being so considerate, if he is a "bad guy" like Mawin keeps saying - wish he would show us & more importantly Jira, this bad guy persona, as that will keep Jira's attention squarely on him. as much as Jira & Koh butt heads, Jira can't help but be attracted & drawn (literally & figuratively) to Koh. & i have a feeling that they wont end up in bed together, something will stop them & Pheem will forever miss his chance, which could effect him mentally - as he has already developed feelings for Jira. ********************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************it feels like both Koh & Jira r slowly getting addicted to each other - for different reasons. does this mean love? idk - doubt it, but they do click. but between them, just being each others drug to being in a relationship - feels like there is vast chasm, which i doubt either can be bridged...

dude, i didn't get Why the F*ck he didn't remove the jacket the sec he could - i would've thrown it at Koh with the award. but he wouldn't remove it, even in the shower like what?!???? ******************************************************************************the triangle is pretty messed up & kinda messing with Jira & Pheem's heads. as if Koh wasn't part of the equation, they would already be together, on the other hand given the fact that Pheem used the Burn Out Bar as a hook-up place, who knows if they wouldn't have just ended up as a one night stand. *********************************************************************************** also think the fact Pheem was Koh's bff & they were both suffering cause of him, made them trauma bond, it for sure renewed Jira's interest in Pheem. not that this gonna help Pheem in the long run, cause as much as Jira want's to be in-love with Pheem, his attraction to the "bad boy" is stronger & will end up winning out - as ironically Pheem too much of a good guy & thus boring, while Koh is a novelty - unexplored, exciting territory...

Ruining a show in the name of fixed ships

Ughhh if they’d kept the ending as “it’s best we end it here” and had our burnouts all go their own ways with a friendship maintained between Pheem and Jira, I would’ve rated this pretty high. Instead, the ending wrecked what good was shown in the name of blasted fixed ships. They didn’t even do it sensibly. They should’ve surprised everyone and made them stay fully separate with inspiration and comfort NOT confused for romance, but alas, artists aren’t known for being sensible, so I can just pretend I didn’t see the scenes after the last burnout bar scene… because that would’ve been a great final meeting for the leads. Pity. Such messy characters are fine, but when the end makes no sense and tells nothing but going back to toxicity (or easy money/lessening his worth as an artist by being an artist for one rich asshole instead of actually doing it well with broader vision)… ugh. What a mess. This episode could have been great. Their insistence on a time jump and reunion was trash, though.

Decent first episode

They did a good job giving the background of sibling relationship or lack thereof. The sis had a very loving relationship with her sister until very recently. She felt her sibling was mothering her rather than letting her learn on her own and her last conversation wasn’t a good one for a last memory. The brother was a surprise because big brother wrote him off when he was very young and left him at a children’s home with a parting gift. Big brother is at a loss because he didn’t expect to see or hear from his sibling. The little brother is drawn into things in spite of his attitude about his brother deserting him. He treated his nephew the same as his brother treated him before leaving, a parting gift and goodbye. Little sis feels responsible because she felt like a weight for her sister to carry. She is determined to make up for that. She doesn’t think well of her brother in law and he has given her no reason to. But she does note he’s not a mean spirited person and has stepped up tho minimally. He has made it clear he considers this his last meeting with both of them. There are many movies and dramas with this theme, but this one held its own telling this version of unexpected guardianship. I am looking forward to see how they drag the reluctant brother into things.
