personally didn't get that the flashback (in the previous ep) was Miki mooning over Ichijo in high school. for some reason was sure Miki was much younger then Ichijo. but it kinda makes sense, after the way he was reacting/acting in this ep. but the whole incident with him getting angry at Ichijo for not wanting the ingredient's his grandmother ordered or him making a fake order (just to cover up the nude eating incident) was over kill IMHO. the running after Miki (to then over do it), with the apology was so cringe to me. i was physically uncomfortable watching that.`(*>﹏<*)′******************************************************************************************************************************************with all due respect; Ichijo doesn't owe Miki a thing, he owed his grandmother a sorry for neglecting her when she was alive, but that's life for u. ********************************************************************************************************************people usually prioritize everything but the important people in their lives, thinking they can put them off (as that can keep) which usually keeps getting put off more, for reasons... until (like in Ichijo's grandma's case) it becomes too late. ******************************************************************************************************************************************so even though i get why that was needed (not just cause he needed to voice those thought's aloud as he was really apologizing to his grandmother) but also cause of the Japanese mentality, it's a logical scene - but to me, it was too much to stomach.cause the fact Miki overreacted was cause he thought this time around, he had an attentive Ichijo that would notice him & want him as a part of his life. this fact made the whole scene that much more comfortable, cause his anger wasn't as Ichijo thought, out of any regard of his dead grandmother ( ˘︹˘ )
heard of naked cooking & sleeping naked, but if ur a nudist i guess everything u do is inthe nude, so whatever... what i found hilariously ludicrous was the fanfare in getting naked, the soundtrack & the slow-motion lol o(≧∀≦)o like come on, dude just gonna eat - nothing more (≧∇≦)ノ *****************************************************************************************************have to say this such a fitting plot for a J-BL...*****************************************************************************************************************************************also reading comments i get this more Bromance then a BL, but i guess we get the BL tag cause Miki Mahiro isn't just gay, he fell at 1st sight for Ichijo Sota. ********************************************************************************************************but didn't get why he was in Ichijou's grandmas house, 6 months after she passed? he teaching her ghost to cook?? didn't get that bit. oh well i guess u gotta further the plot somehow\(〇_o)/(ノへ ̄、)*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i will never get people like Ichijou's work ethic (if u can call it that) that's not working over time - that's working a 2nd job just not getting paid for it - or so it seemed to me. that's mindboggling to me, living this type of life where even if u don't have a life out side of work - still to spend all day at work, is crazy IMHO ผ(•̀_•́ผ)
very saccharine if u can ignore the late apology (at the start of the ep). ok, Dong Wook was running scared as a teen, but what was his reason for not apologizing when he saw Do Hyun 5 yrs later?!? especially when he knew (when he saw him again) that he wanted them back together?!? seeing that Do Hyun was angry, knowing the reason (or deducing it) considering how he left, insulting Do Hyun \(〇_o)/ why play dumb until the last moment??? so others can go "yay" me - i say "meeh..." yeah there were some cute moments at the end, but can't disregard everything from the start. oh well the end so whatever (ノへ ̄、)side note: at least got to see a hint, that Seung Joo not gonna end up alone. just for that possible "happy end" am glad i stuck it out (❁´◡`❁)
sometimes i wonder how other peoples brains work & why the conclusions they come to so different then mine. i see nothing to be elated about in this ep, let alone that ending. like WT actual F was that?! & how that sorry a$$ "sorry" supposed to make everything ok?? idk \(〇_o)/*****************************************************************************************************************************************as i said in the 2nd ep, Seung Joo is a much much better love interest for Do Hyun, he for sure a better person. as everyone suspected he has a crush on Do Hyun, but seeing how heart broken Do Hyun was, he did the bigger thing by making Dong Wook go end things instead of disappearing like he loves to do. ********************************************************************btw i don't think Seung Joo was using his brains, but his heart, cause anyone can tell that Dong Woo Not good for Do Hyun. heck his apology is more evidence to the fact. *****************************************************************************************************************************************that one word doesn't summarize everything he needed to say & yet it was enough for Do Hyun cause?!? the BL's ending?!? cause this crap in real life ( ˘︹˘ ) ********************************************************************************************************************especially after seeing the flashback where the reason Dong Woo ghosted Do Hyun was cause he saw Do Hyun smile at another guy??? like r u serious? that justifies how he treated someone he cares for, cause he is jealous??? really??? & then he wants back without remorse or apology & then only cause he wants a good nights sleep?!? but he said "sorry" so everything ok? like plz with this stoopid logic (ノへ ̄、) but the plot line has been toxic from the start so whatever...
idk how anyone can call this a misunderstanding, unjust or unnecessary - i think this was a perfect ep, as it was a long time coming. this "wound" needed cleaning & of course when u clean-out a wound (that has been festering for yrs), it's gonna be ugly & agitating to experience/watch. i loved the parallels (when u compare the scene here) when a scared/worried Dong Wook comes to find a furious Do Hyun in the rain (to the previous ep's flashback) where a younger confused Do Hyun desperately searches out & encounters a aloof Dong Wook. (until the basketball "match") that was almost scene for scene tit-for-tat. so IMHO Dong Wook finally got his comeuppance. especially when in the previous ep's flashback (in-spite of Do Hyun hearing that the only thing Dong Wook wants, is to "sleep" with him) he still had fallen hard enough, to put his pride aside to search Dong Wook out & ask if he had done anything wrong.. sorry but anyone feeling sorry for Dong Wook gotta reevaluate their thought process - cause the dude is undeserving. also take into consideration everything Hye In said, Dong Wook doesn't consider her or anyone for that matter a close confidant & yet he's blabbing to her about not just his sleeping problems, but the solution to them?!? & Do Hyun got the wrong end of the stick?!? really??? plz from where i am sitting Do Hyun deserves better then a user like Dong Wook - given everything we have seen to date there is no info that makes me doubt i have come to the wrong conclusions about Dong Wook. the fact that he now cares for Do Hyun is neither here nor there...
like how clueless can one be?!? Dong Wook asking Do Hyun why he hates him... like duh(ノへ ̄、) of course he doesn't hate Do Hyun, Do Hyun didn't do him wrong - did Do Hyun just up a ghost him? did he then not offer an explanation, but (add insult to injury) say that he was bored with him & that they should cut ties??? like how obtuse can one be - mind boggling \(〇_o)/ is his insomnia causing memory loss?!? for him to not get what he did to someone he basically wooed?!? *****************************************************************************************************************************************& sadly Do Hyun might say he hates Dong Wook, but that Not the case`(*>﹏<*)′ (poor baby) he just angry - very angry at the way he was dumped. 1st love will do that to a body.(┬┬﹏┬┬) plus as it ended without any foreseeable reason, let alone any real cause it's not shocking that Do Hyun is left wondering about the why's, let alone the what if's.... i feel for him - would Not want to be in his shoes.
was sure that Seung Joo & Do Hyun were roommates (which sadly they not). but Do Hyun living alone?!? oh well... convenient for the plot ( ˘︹˘ )*****************************************************************************************************************************************but when Dong Wook said he wanted them to live together. only i assumed he was inviting Do Hyun over to his house?(ノ`Д)ノ like the audacity of the dude to invite himself over & keep pushing & pushing not only, not taking no for an answer, but ignoring any negative response's Dong Wook tries to give (especially after how he ended things in the flashback) dude asking to get kneed (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻... **************************************************************************************************on the other hand, u can see that even though Do Hyun is hurt & angry (justifiably so, considering the flashback 09:05 where - leave the way Dong Wook choses to inform Do Hyun he's transferring, but him saying "...basketball has become boring to me now too.." the too indicates that Do Hyun became boring & basketball too\(〇_o)/. u don't do this to a friend, let alone someone u love(╬▔皿▔)╯ like WTF). but Do Hyun still has a part of him that doesn't want to push Dong Wook out of his life, by flat out rejecting him, guess he still has feelings for the douche & can't kick the habit (ノへ ̄、)******************************************************************************************************************************************personally i wouldn't begrudgingly or happily be welcoming anyone that treated me like this, back into my life. especially when Dong Wook has yet to act contrite, he the f*ck for sure hasn't apologized for the way he ended things... why everyone go gaga over these toxic romances is besides me - & sorry, saying that's life doesn't justify anything - oh well ╯︿╰
from the flashbacks it's very clear that Do Hyun was totally smitten, Dong Wook on the other hand is harder to read, there some instances that it's clear, then others it's not... but considering how Do Hyun treats Dong Wook now, it's clear the tables have flipped & Dong Wook isn't just treating Do Hyun as a sleeping pill, but he's infatuated (he for sure getting jealous watching Do Hyun with Seung Joo). **************************************************************************************************but what happened for this flip to happen - cause it's not that Do Hyun doesn't like Dong Wook, it's more like he hates him cause he is hurting. so what did Dong Wook do & why did he do it (as he doesn't seem to hold a grudge against Do Hyun). ********************************************************************************************************************************************questions, questions.... that's what i've got - unlike everyone else who is going gaga over the flashes of chemistry between the mains
reading the comments; where people wondering if there's a love triangle, if anyone's looking at u the way Yang Seung Joo looks at Do Hyun isn't enough of a clue. him saying that he wants to go on a trip alone with Do Hyun, should affirm his affection's. & from where i'm sitting, he's a better candidate as a love partner... but he's an SL so that alas~(>_<。)\ wont happen (ノへ ̄、)*****************************************************************************************************************************************anyway watching this ep; nothing handed to us, but from what's there - assume Do Hyun's heart skipped a beat finding Dong Wook lying beside him. from then on, it was a growing of affection on both parts, but it looks like in Do Hyun case it wasn't purely platonic. sadly he is unaware of Seung Joo's feelings towards him - pity IMHO (¬‿¬)******************************************************************************************************************************************
have to say this 1st ep didn't clue me in any better as to what the back story between the mains is, it was as vague as the description(⊙x⊙;). what i did love, was that half lip twist in disgust from Lee Do Hyun, for that to come from a happy-go-lucky dude that didn't seem to take anything to heart, means a lot. especially when it was directed at a antisocial douche, like Ban Dong Wook \(〇_o)/ ***********************************************************************************************************sorry not sorry, but Ban Dong Wook is a piece a work. & as of this ep i haven't seen a thing that justifies him walking around with that stick up his a$$( ˘︹˘ ) get being antisocial or an introvert, but saying i suffer from insomnia; so i walk around walking on other peoples feelings - then No(!) sorry that Not OK. ******************************************************************************so loved that finally there was someone, who put him in his place. someone who won't be a pushover (going by the preview). so i am a happy camper o(≧∀≦)o*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: Insomnia doesn't just happen - even if u don't know the root cause - that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. & the reason he falls asleep with Do Hyun is cause he feels safe around him enough to let down his guard.
every time i see Mo Yi i wanna drag him around by the crap behind his head (╬▔皿▔)╯ like i already stated previously, he's acting like a jealous wife. **************************************************************************************************************people think he hates Su Yu cause Mo Yi regards him as greedy, that might be part of the reason he has it in for him - but that Not the main reason(!) he is jealous that Wu Bi isn't the kid-brother that was stuck to him, hero-worshiping his pathetic ass. following him around doing his bidding as he used to do. ****************************************************************************add to the fact that Wu Bi keeps taking Su Yu side, making it clear how important he is to him - even more then family - i.e Mo Yi. anyone would get angry that someone that worshiped them found a (less worth) substitute.******************************************************************************************************************************************the more this goes on the more Mo Yi's hate towards Su Yu is growing. his investigating Su Yu, finding out his true character wont matter or change his POV.********************************************************************************************************************************************as i've said, if his initial hate was cause Su Yu was Xiao San son & thus as greedy - when after the truth was reviled & he still harbored such hate for Su Yu, u know it has nothing to do with Su Yu, anyone in his position that was capable of having such a stronghold on Wu Bi would be a target for Mo Yi.*****************************************************************************************************************************************this really turned out to be such a great drama, BL, Bromance or whatever... this was well written, acted & directed. have to say binged watched this & now bit bumbed as (it feels like) in a blink of an eye i am at the end~(>_<。)\. just hope the finale isn't depressing
like i mentioned already, Wu Bi has yet to get over the yrs of hurt & misunderstandings where his father is concerned, so even if there r moments where he turns a new leaf, he easily reverts back to his usual modus operandi where his father is concerned. this is something he needs to work on as an adult - the knee jerk reaction is doing nothing but widening the gap between them, which is a pity as his father is trying & his getting angry is logical - as Wu Bi insist on keeping him in the dark! so this lack of communication will only widen the rift. ********************************************************************************************* Wu's anger steams from worry, that his only son is throwing his life away, especially when he can see what a high achiever Su Yu is, how can he not get angry at Wu Bi blasé attitude?!? *****************************************************************************************************************************************know everyone's going gaga about the kiss & sorry if i am bursting anyone's bubble. but Both kisses where on the cheek, maybe close to the side of the mouth, but on the cheek all the same. not that there's any lack of hints & innuendo's to make it Very clear that Wu Bi & Su Yu r in a romantic relationship. ******************************************************************************************************************************************loved how Wu Bi & Su Yu created a very sweet wholesome moment for Duo Duo's mother - really teared up. as is that family gives me the warm fuzzies******************************************************************************************************************************************side note: why the frack where Mo Yi & his father invited to Su Yu's celebratory dinner?!? have a bad feeling Xiao San invited them (she tends to be thoughtless & tactless) & have a feeling Mo Yi gonna be the cause of the accident - which i've seen spoilers of in the comments section. just hope we don't lose anyone (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
really like Wu Bi's father, love how now he's not busy at all & keeps finding reasons to come check-out how his son is, all the time... it's kinda adorable how their relationship has changed for the better (❁´◡`❁) & found it funny that he ate both meatballs - no he aint greedy or oblivious cause he's rich. he was just appreciating his sons cooking & being rich, he didn't think that maybe the guys didn't have money for more meat. as am sure he hasn't cut Wu Bi's allowance. so why would he \(〇_o)/*****************************************************************************************************************************************the lube scene was very weird, but at least it makes some things very clear - we might not see it, but now it's clear that Wu Bi & Su Yu r more then just brother's (like i doubt there's anyone that didn't notice the chemistry between the 2 & how it's far from platonic). the jealousy act also help paint a very vivid picture - a funny one (●'◡'●)*****************************************************************************************************************************************really not warming up to Mo Yi, he keeps acting like Wu Bi's jealous possessive wife & that whole order to come help him, let alone confiscating his cell etc... was too shady for me. also his hinting that Wu Bi's gonna empty the family fortune for Su Yu, as if he's a gold digger is rubbing me the wrong way. now this dude (unlike Wu) is a pompous ass-hat cause he got money. he had this attitude when he assumed Xiao San got in between Wu Bi's parents for money. but now that, that issue was cleared there is no reason other then being prejudice towards poor people ( ˘︹˘ )
not gonna nitpick as this on a whole was a very positive ep. glad finally Wu Bi got closure on his mothers issue & made up with his dad. as is the start made me cringe hard, as was worried Wu Bi would start with his hostile attitude & verbally accost his father (when he came to eat), but thankfully it came to not (⊙◡⊙;) ***************************************************************glad i wasn't wrong about his dad being a good person, a man that truly loved & cherished his son, one that didn't know how to express those emotion's.*****************************************************************************************************************************************& as his wife case was solved in a way, where he didn't have to feel guilty that she might have taken her life just for him, he was capable of moving forward with Xiao San (who for now has turned into a different person, then from the start). so on a whole this was a very positive heartwarming ep. ******************************************************************************************************************************************watching the boys interaction with Duo Duo, they truly portray loving siblings - that whole family dynamic is very realistic & warm. they don't look like actors acting, but an actual family - which is a balm to the soul. idk why we needed to separate the females from the guys at this stage (when they finally started to get over the hurdles life threw at them) but i feel like the guys, all sitting next to each other already depressed at the thought of parting with both Duo Duo & her mother
Wu Bi's dad killed me with that end remark o(≧∀≦)o but before that, have to say a Great Big Thanks to Wu Bi for whooping that moronic Uncle's ass & beating the crap out of those bodyguards. yeah the fighting was a bit b.s & there was no way for Wu Bi to know which bodyguard was specifically obnoxious & cruel towards Su Yu. but just watching that scene with him going ape-s*t on that whole group, was very satisfying. but not long enough IMHO (⊙∀⊙;) not when almost all of the previous ep was how Su Yu was bullied ~(>_<。)\******************************************************************************************************************************************other then the start, that was a bit rocky, it was a bomb ep - it was warm & wholesome, glad most of the misunderstanding were dealt with & both Su Yu & Wu Bi made peace with Xiao San & Wu. the fact Wu Bi still finds it hard to soften towards his father, is cause of all the anger he has been harboring for decades. & it isn't just cause of him suspecting that his dad didn't just cheat, but was the cause behind his mother's death. it's their in inability to connect & be close like a father & son should be... like Su Yu & his father r. **************************************************************************************************************this will need a lot of work on both parts, otherwise they will revert back to being distant, or even as time passes they will become estranged. *******************************************************************************************************************& as i've mentioned in my past comment Wu loves his son & cares for him very much, he just isn't good at conveying this in a way, that will get to Wu Bi- so i hope they find a way for both their sakes.
