so was this ep basically showing us that the powers that be, just don't want Soga & Sakae together... that they weren't meant to be? or is Mizuki manipulating the situation, does he know Kojimachi. was this all a set-up to keep Soga away from Sakae ? or am i reaching....**************************************************************************************************************************************************either way i feel bad for Soga, dude is naïve & being rushed into something he doesn't know how to deal with. he doesn't even know what he wants. but cause of Mizuki's appearance, Kanda's pushing & Sakae's impatience he is in a place where he has all these feelings, but doesn't know if he can commit & feels guilty cause of this fact. idk about others, but this so toxic & the only one i feel that is gonna suffer is Soga.side note: WhyTF is Mizuki so up-to-date about everything going on in Sakae 's life? why is Tatsuta such a blabber-mouth? if he's not talking to Mizuki, he's updating Kanda....

Sakae isn't wasting time... & Soga…

Sakae isn't wasting time... & Soga told him more then once that he is confused about his feelings, the fact he was jealous is neither here nor there. that kiss will just muddle up the waters. Sakae for being a pushover is great at gaslighting. guess that's why he's attracted to Soga who is an even bigger pushover then him. sadly Soga might be older but he is really naïve.like him apologizing to Kanda - like sorry what?!? why??? she had NO right to put her hands on u - there was NO justification for that, she's frustrated she should go find a wall to bash her head against. ********************************************************her always poking her nose where is doesn't belong & the guys keeping her in the loop - mindboggling!********************************************************************************************************************************************Mizuki is beautiful & bad news lol... but i was kinda happy that he came to mess with Sakae - sorry not sorry but the dude is annoying me & i don't like him with Soga - ironic i know as that is what is meant to be (otherwise no BL).

Everything you love to be in K-drama! From romantic comedy-thriller also a very heartwarming one

Seriously? I got mad (kinda) after saw the rating only 8.4 because this drama has everything you love to be in k-drama. It has romantic comedy genre but the thriller and mystery goes well in the story line and SO heartwarming. Yongsik is literally green forest character. The whole neighborhood is totally having character development. Love shows not only between Yongsik and Dongbaek, between the mother and their child, like the title “When the Camellia Blooms” everything is blooms by the end of episodes. Loving this series so much. Truly one of heartwarming shows. Personally for me who love crime/thriller/mystery drama this series is great. Such a masterpiece!!!

didn't like or enjoy this ep - i said…

didn't like or enjoy this ep - i said in the previous ep that Sakae needed to clear up the situation with Kanda, thought that if someone could handle her pushy ways, it would be him ( as opposed to Soga) talk about a bad joke. dude couldn't stand up for himself or the person he had fallen in-love with (according to him at the end of this ep)?!? really???? he didn't need to come out of the closet or explain anything to her. he told her "...sorry i like someone else..." - end off! if she can be pushy, he can be decisive & put his foot down. but not only did he keep enabling her he (more or less) admitted that he had a one sided crush on Soga. then sat quietly while she didn't just bad-mouth Soga, but then happily involve herself in his love life - why Tatsuta not enough??? her help was needed WHY?!? *********************************************************************************************& then the cherry on this rotten cake, she slaps a clueless Soga, who couldn't brush-off his boss?? Soga who is unsuspecting & took Sakae at his word, that all he wanted was to be friends? that as he had planned outing, this time Sakae was doing the same?!? & if ur out with a friend & bump into other friends or a boss & they tag along, u don't get possessive & push them away. cause ur only gonna hand with ur bff - what this kinder garden?!?sorry but WTF. **************************************************************************************************************what infuriated me more was that Sakae stood around doing nothing, then taking Kanda back to enjoy the food he cooked for his (supposed) love interest?!? continuing to talk sh*t about him, as if he at fault for being a trusting soul.... & i am supposed to root for Sakae ????**************************************************************************************************************************************************************i feel really bad for Soga idk why his wife left him or why she suddenly calling him, but he deserves better then to be gaslight & browbeat into any type of relationship. he Not at fault for believing & trusting Sakae & his words. he NOT the bad-guy!

Episode 7: Yuan Zhong, you will have peace and happiness.

In the fight between Tan Yin and Hannu, it was Tan Yin who won. She threw the magic dragon at Hannu and went after Yuan Zhong, to save him in as much time as possible. At the council of elders, Yuan Zhong overhears their suspicions about whether it was all a hoax and that the ghosts of war are not returning. Two old women, the mothers of the soldiers killed by the supposed possession of the ghosts of war, arrive at the enclosure and tell the last moments of their children in life. The elders brought these mothers to show that the dates did not match, the dates of birth so that the spell of the ghosts of war would take effect. The elders were accusing Yuan Zhong of colluding with Tang Hua and making a sham to get the restraint necklace around his neck removed. One of the elders threw a magical beetle at Tang Hua and discovered the hoax on Tang Hua's body. Tang Hua said that he was the only one to blame. And that they were all guilty of Yuan Zhong's suffering. Elder DingXu sentences Tang Hua, but Yuan Zhong stands up and asks him to take Tang Hua's place, so since it all started because of him, it was only fair that he took over. And it would help him in his destiny to be a god. Tang Hua and one of the elders get into a physical fight. DingXu uses his magical power and stops the fight. DingXu says that he doesn't trust Yuan Zhong, and says if you set everything up because you don't want to be a god, say it right away. (Both are very sarcastic in these lines). DingXu sentences Yuan Zhong to prison. Yuan Zhong remains calm. But at that moment DingXu manifests the possession of the ghosts of war in himself. A fight begins between all the elders. (Due to the witch Gu of the ghosts of war, who uses the warrior Quianling as a vessel for a spell against DingXu that she accuses of killing her son.) DingXu possessed responds affirmatively to YZ. Yes, he is a ghost of war. "We are the divine race. You bunch of ants." He throws a square magical object that will explode at Yuan Zhong. Tang Hua and others are worried. Yuan Zhong remains impassive, it even seems that he is not afraid of dying. But before the object touches him, Tan Yin arrives and throws himself in front of him, fearing the impact. She falls, and before she faints, she says, luckily, I arrived on time. While Yuan Zhong continues to desperately call her name. The witch Gu was stopped by the leader of the ghosts of war. The witch says she received guidance from a god who spoke to her, through a sacred object. She shows the object. The soldier says that old Gu is a lunatic, but the leader of the ghosts of war says that she once saw her father talk to this god when she was a child. Yuan Zhong had the authority to confine DingXu in punishment. The entire council of elders on their knees begs at YZ's door hoping that he will change his mind. YZ wonders with her assistant, many doubts about Tan Yin, that at that moment he looks at her dead in bed. He doesn't understand, if all this was something planned by someone, leading to this result. He doesn't understand. Finally, he asks the helper to bury and hold Tan Yin's funeral. His assistant tells Yuan Zhong that he needs to pull himself together, and remember that Tan Yin said that YZ would have a long and happy life. But YZ looks at TY's body with teary eyes. YZ sits on his throne, and DingXu and the council of elders arrive and greet him. DingXu says that the ghosts of war have indeed returned and asks the priest to put aside the grievances of the past and help them overcome the ghosts of war. Yz calmly asks DX if he will unlock the restraint collar around his neck (YZ). DingXu says yes, he will do it. All the elders point their magical power at Yuan Zhong's necklace and unlock it. The power released from Yuan Zhong's hands then lets out a discharge and everyone falls spitting blood. The imposing and powerful Yuan Zhong who rises from his chair does not seem friendly. Tan Yin in the sky talks to Hannu and her elder friend. They explain that Hannu prevented TY's primordial spirit from being lost. TY says he has to come back down to earth now. They advise her to wait, as it takes time to fully recover. Yuan Zhong is in Tan Yin's room, her body remains on the bed. And he looks sadly at the door with his back turned, without looking at it. Tan Yin's beetle enters the room. Yuan Zhong holds it in her hand and listens again. You will have peace and happiness. So, he tries once again to bring TY back to life. He can't. In the next scene, Tang Hua is in the tower. Yuan Zhong arrives. Tang Hua questions YZ, but he seems insensitive and says that he shouldn't stop him as TH had a plan. TH is upset by his friend's coldness. They try to talk, but YZ is in a bad mood and says it's because his maid died and it's not the best time. Quian Lin yells at his friend, reaffirming that he wants to find his mother. Zidhai is informed of Tan Yin's death. Zidhai dresses in a different outfit, and holds his sword. She goes out and we see her walking in a field of flowers. YZ's aide asks Yuan Zhong to attend Tan Yin's funeral so as not to be so pitiful with no one present. And he asks them to bring gifts to give dignity to her funeral. YZ accepts. The episode ends with them at the funeral site. Her body covered with a white cloth and all the preparations there. The helper makes the necessary greeting. (end of episode).

i get Sakae wanting to be a good host, but…

i get Sakae wanting to be a good host, but after hearing from Kaname that Kanda had a crush on him, he shouldn't been that accommodating. that was building her up for a bigger fall, then it should be. but also got from Kaname that Sakae's tends to be a people pleaser, a yes man in relationships. i think he is the same in real life. & that way - when u go along to get alone u don't just end up hurting urself in the long run, but u also hurt others. hope he clears the misunderstanding up ASAP.**************************************************************************************************************************************************& if one female wasn't enough, suddenly Soga's ex calling him out of the blue - why? she miss him? regret the divorce?!? hope not, as is i was elated that their break-up was amicable. hope she doesn't prove me wrong. ***************************************regarding Soga was worried there that he was too self-involved, even in friendships things can get too one-sided, it's great asking ur friend out on an outing, but always planning the day & not even asking them for their input before hand, never taking them into consideration is a recipe for a very short lived friendship. so was happy that he realized what he was doing & tried to rectify the matter.

See? I never moved.

Chu lan was justified in his anger with Bao Bao. She was out of line and misunderstood him. She returns to NDT headquarters at a complete loss as to how to get him to come back. While they are separated, the Feng family move in to try to get him to sign with the all-encompassing guild. You have to feel for Feng Sha Yan. She is such a capable daughter and the dad only sees her as a pawn. In spite of his great gift he is a big waste of space to me. She really needs to get away from him but is most likely a filial daughter and will do whatever he says. Chu Lan shows some wisdom in condemning her father’s actions and as he is trying to escape, he finds Bao Bao has come to rescue him. Wang Ying Lu does a very funny job pretending to not be able to walk in heels. Bao Bao gives him power over her actions and his decree to stand while he deliberates what to do gets her killed. For this, I am as disgusted with him as I am with Feng Zheng Hao. They both leave a bad taste after this episode.😝

this was sooooo freakin good - i am officially hooked. love the chemistry between the leads. & love the whole feel of Sakae's small restaurant, the people that frequent it & Sakae's bff that he loves to vent with. this whole BL giving such homey vibes - i love every min of it.***********************************************************************************************************************************************also was happy to see that even though we got to see Soga & his ex-wife's last good-bye, it was an amicable divorce. didn't want to see a bitter mean wife breaking Soga's heart - so that means he has had enough of women etc.. that trope is moronic. just cause u were in one bad relationship, doesn't mean u suddenly ready to change ur sexual preference's.*********************************************************************************************************************************************just hope Kanda doesn't turn out to be an obstacle, she "assertive" & pushy. maybe Sakae will be able to deal with her but i doubt the same off Soga.

Episode 6: All beings deserve to live. The gods are not more important than other beings.

Tan Yin stops time, and by kissing Yuan Zhong, lends her part of her divine power. Something unexpected happens: Yuan Zhong opens her eyes, before she returns to the rhythm of time (why did this happen?). Then, he asks what TY is doing. And he tells her that she is very strange, he does not understand what she is doing. She makes a lot of excuses, including saying that she is a maid, and is not used to it. She tells YZ that she has many abilities. But Yz tells her that these skills are not important. In another scene, TY fulfills what he says and goes to her perspective to help YZ. YZ had transmitted a punishment to her, but that was just a joke, (burning wood). TY took it as true, and YZ woke up to the noise of broken wood, his pale was full of wood. YZ went after TY who built furniture in his room. They fight (in that funny way). She tells Yuan Zhong that he is forbidden to feel anything for her. That she, TY, is only there to accompany him. And not to have a love affair. That he can be with any other woman. That Ty won't get in the way. She kicks him out and YZ thinks it's just another trick of hers.After that, TY tries to win back Yuan Zhong, who was very upset and makes a small mechanical horse out of a cherry tree compartment. He takes the toy, but does not open it. They continue talking. He grabs her chin. He says she's weird. That she even looks like she is not of this world. (Yuan Zhong says another famous line from the trailers: Everyone who approaches me has a hidden purpose. It is not easy to confine.). TY says that she knows Yuan Zhong's heart (it's cold as ice, but still retains warmth). She knows he's a good person. She trusts him. (This catches YZ off guard. He is touched and stops. She says she leaves her blessing for him, for him to always be happy. She puts a cherry in her hand. She smiles and leaves.). He is touched by what she says.In another scene, Yuan Zhong is in his room carving the statue of the elder DingXi on a piece of wood. Yuan Zhong's aide asks who it is. Yuan Zhong replies that it is DingXi and then he smashes the statue's head.In another scene, DingXi proposes to YZ that he remove the golden collar and that YZ face the ghosts of war once again to defend the tribe from foxes. (YZ questions that if he stops spiritual refinement and this leash restraint, he will lose the chance to be a god.) The female elder stands up, and tells DingXi that Yuan Zhong was wronged, YZ did good to the fox tribe, but was treated humiliatingly. The elder makes an excuse. Then another voice rises up and says (DingXi, all the other elders also have rings of restraint, you must free everyone. Only you the bell that opens the latches.).The female elder, takes care of the elder DingXi, with a medicinal technique by needles on his back. He moans, and then she says, "It hurts DingXi, but you don't worry about Yuan Zhong's pain every time in all these years that he has to undergo that spiritual refinement."The rest of the episode is the young warrior, Qian Ling, being mistreated by his own people (the ghosts of war). He has no family, as there are serious rules in the tribe against those who do not fulfill the task of having children so that the tribe does not cease to exist. There are other families elsewhere (the ghosts of war survive incognito, without anyone knowing of their existence). Qiang Lin walks around the place and arrives at an old wooden house. He comes in, accidentally hits a mummy of a dead person. Toxic smoke comes out and Quian Lin falls to the ground unconscious. The witch Gu appears and says that this was timely. That that young warrior will be useful to her. In the sky, Hannu tries in every way to prevent Ty from coming down to earth to help Yuan Zhong. Hannu says that the god TaiHe is more important than YZ. But TY says that all beings are important and deserve to live. For TH 100 years is just a nap, why can't YZ live his full life? Hannu uses a magical power on TY's back. But TY says that won't work. She knows that probably YZ is in need of her help, and she, TY will come back and help Yz at that time. (Ends the episode).My grade: 10.0
