first off liked how straightforward Bar was with Mark, yeah he didn't pull any punches and he could've sweetened the pill by saying sorry or i like u as a friend /junior - but lets face it, this is the way u make sure u not only get ur point across, but make it clear so they wont even thinking of trying to pursue u again. there no opening left - straight and to the point ************************************************************************************************************************************************************but the grand confession made me laugh out loud (while i cringed a bit) that so wasn't the platform, especially when he didn't even win. he was basically stealing the limelight from the dude that did (which happily surprised to recognize Opp from Secret Crush On You). so even though it was supposed to be touching and endearing, all i could think was - dude stop... but it is what it is and glad they together - the adorable as a couple. so happy for them ************************************************************ ****************************************************************************************************************************************side note - was so happy didn't see that annoying female with her gossip vids and got her again in this episode - why? ugh

these 2 r freakin adorable, Bar is hilarious his tsundere side is killing it - can't stop smiling at both of their antic's - both of them always posting their relationship moment's online is a bit TMI for me - but i get that this is the "thing"' now.. other then that this really great ***********************************************************************************************************************love that no matter how much they squabble, they always confront and talk it out, make peace - not leaving it to fester and thank god No mind-manipulative-games. if there is a misunderstanding or hurt feelings, they clear the air and appease the hurt party, always making sure their true feelings r shown - no games, or hiding such a breath of fresh air Aish !!!*************************************************************************************************************************************************************also the group of friends in general is such a positive vibe i can't get enough of them (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

pleasantly surprised watching this - started cause Love Mechanics is airing right now and thought (as read comments that this a continuation), what the hell as is that's not completed and by the time i get through this short BL series that would be, so win win ************************************************************************************************************************************even though was a bit skeptic about how much i'm gonna enjoy this - found myself really liking everything about this BL.heck compared to a few i've watched (that have come out this yrs) this one is just better plot wise. here the friends r indeed friends, the mains r cute and even though not officially together, their banter is just that, banter. not meanness or playing hard to get stoopid mind games. they actually talk. mind blowing ************************************************************************what's more Love the fact that Tossakan being the popular one, isn't standing mute while groupies r trying to hate on Bar - only for that fact i'm loving this and him ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************really like the whole feel of this BL it's light and uncomplicated (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

pleasantly surprised, especially after the disaster the BL turned into. this was a breath of fresh air. Ze Shou was sweet and funny and this whole ep was fun to watch - heck first time was moved by a kiss in this whole drama. this is what the BL should've been. this for sure a better ending then ep 12 was. glad i watched it ??

Kim finally found his tongue and verbalized what he should've in the previous ep - better late then never. even though i have to ask (especially after the way he cried like a baby over Day) why contact that MOFO again?!? i so don't get the thought process here. **********************************************************************************************************************************if u go by what he has said, they were only friends and he had a one sided crush on Day. but considering what Day told him and hints being dropped, feel like there was more then a purely platonic relationship between them and Day gave him false hope or nurtured that delusion, until something better came along. ************************************************************************either way a person that is supposed to be ur friend, wont rub ur face in his new love, especially if he knows u have a thing for him. even if he a good guy, and doing it unintentionally, anyone would distance themselves just to safeguard their own hearts from more pain - and here we got Kim trying time and again to get close to Day - what?!? i'm stumped n stupefied as to why...****************************************************************************************************************************************so will ignore everything i wanna say about our gang of mobster's, cause it's just ridiculous and a hard sell - but at least now u get the reason Cherry so hellbent on getting with Kamol, cause he saved her life. still considering how he's been treating her since that moment, she should smarten up, say "thank u" and move the frack on. but noticed this got a GL tag and as she has already buttheads with Metawee, maybe they gonna be a ship? or maybe her and Jin, or Metawee and Jin?!? oh well time will tell (❁´◡`❁)

well this is going from bad to worse - the acting's bad, the dialogue shallow. most of the time it feels like children playing at grown-up's. and Kim being a grown ass man and yet he is incapable of verbalizing one thought clearly. but i guess if he could, he wouldn't be "perfect" materiel for our "Dom" (another fake) he got pompous down, but that doesn't equate to power, or an ability to dominant. ****************************************************************************************************************** btw about Kim meant in general, not only telling Kamol that it/he was a one-night-stand or he not into BDSM let alone turning into a kept "woman" considering he (supposedly) run's a Accounting Firm. but meant with his obsessed stalker of a client. he can't make it clear he isn't interested and never will be?!? that too much to ask? of this cry baby?!???? ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************idk what Day's deal is, but Itt is a moron if he's falling for hollow promises, cause Day seems shady to me (just don't have any info as to why). either way guess this the theme of this BL the Seme's all looking for easy to manipulate 'bottoms' which r in abundance - mentioning bottoms - Cherry (* ￣︿￣) how whipped u gotta be, to backstab family for a guy that treats u like dirt?!? *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - why did we need Baiboon, this not weird enough without the jailbait? cause have a feeling they gonna pair him with Kom (and i know that actor playing the nephew is 21, but still just feely icky)

reading the description, thought 50 Shades of Grey BL version (and considering i deem that pure garbage) didn't have high or any expectation's, and yet this was worse. the acting isn't good. ********************************************************************Kim isn't justified in breaking down, cause his crush was unrequited not for a freakin 25 yrs old. if they had a past, then i would get feeling like sh*t. but still would have a problem with an adult not being able to know when u should show ur vulnerable side and to whom.. so his non stop blubbering, not evoking empathy. but he for sure sub materiel. does that automatically mean also a masochist that's into pain?!? ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************what's more i call b.s on Kim passing or being able to fulfill Kamol's "special needs", u have to only see the first guy looking like he was whipped mercilessly, and then compare his body to how Kim's bodied looked the night after - we got eye's and a brain... but as i am the only one calling b.s. (⊙_⊙;) never mind - used to writers writing plots without any research into what that plot point consist of in real life - artistic license is the one used and abused in this ep, Not Kim

the plot seemed interesting, (add to that) was happy seeing Takuya who i remember fondly from Cherry Magic. and even though am an ageist and tend not to fall over the older & younger trope, thought to give it a go while it was airing. **************have to say shaky start as didn't enjoy/like Minato "appreciating"/sizing up Shintaro - made me very uncomfortable - especially when u get he knows Shintaro is a high-school student. but after his confession, things evened-out and felt more comfortable that he wasn't ready to act on his attraction. and was uncomfortable Shintaro's bold flirting. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************know in BL-land this fodder for a cute/funny/pure romance but idk about other countries, but just today heard of an older guy getting into hot water cause a couple of teens went to the cops about his abusing his position, getting close to them and abusing them sexually. so hard for me to ignore reality and just fan-girl over 2 cute guys flirting with each other ********************************************************************************************************************************************************but as mentioned about liked that Minato has reined in his attraction and very curious about the scene in his high-school days and his crush (i think). and why he thought of Shintaro in that context, does he remind him of his first love? as in look-alike? or he thinks Shintaro playing cause he a teens and when things get serious he will back out or hurt him..

now Have to go read the manga, cause this ep took me a while to finish. as i didn't get the turnover - it felt rushed and out of character to me. considering what we got from Nozue. he seemed more A-sexual then someone hiding deep in the closet. he might have been in a rut but he had gotten that way, especially in his personal life cause he liked or rather disliked the idea of being in a relationship. ***************************************************************************************************************and even though i aint a man - pretty sure if he was indeed gay, he would have had more of a reaction towards Togawa, when he kept flirting with him. even if he was resigned to never act upon it. **************************************************************Nozue's every interaction with him (besides the previous ep and this) was sexless and platonic - yeah his confession here was logical and helped smooth the way to romance - but to me (the conclusion) felt rushed. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this was cute, but i feel like this needed more time to flesh out the character's and give us Nozue inner dialogue. not only in regards to what he felt towards Togawa. but why he wasn't ever interested in a relationship's with anyone. Togawa was easy to read and pretty much an open book - that also helped understand his character's motivation and actions (even if i didn't like them at the start) maybe then this would've been a great BL. as is, this ok (but this for sure no Cherry Magic, sorry).

about time - finally an ep where everything is on the table. know the previous ep's were a build up to this - but Togawa verbalizing everything i've been saying from the start, feels like a weight off my shoulders. yeah - i feel relieved. **************** know it was damn hard for him to confess (cause it was also "coming out", not only admitting his attraction n feelings for/to Nozue). but it was needed, cause until now Nozue has been clueless, a lamb being lead to the "slaughter" (not cause a man was attracted to him - but nobody deserves to be mislead or manipulated into a situation they're not aware of - Not when they r blindly trusting the person misleading them). and as well intentioned as Togawa was, he was manipulating the situation and deluding Nozue about his true intentions. basically lying to him - and that isn't a good ground to start any type of lasting relationship on. so as tough, scary his confession was to make - it's the much needed truth. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************as is, in this ep it's pretty clear Nozue has started developing more then platonic feelings for Togawa - maybe his mindset of i'm gonna be a bachelor for life, will change and he will want what he has found with Togawa. especially after his confession - it will help Nozue realize that what he is feeling is more then gratitude. i'm just glad everything is out in the open

i need to read the manga to know what is going on in Nozue's mind, and if he is indeed discovering/developing a new type of awareness towards Togawa. cause too date, his actions r of a man that has been isolated and alone. finding a new friend or realizing that there is someone who wants to be his friend. is what we r seeing - even the annoyance at not receiving a text back, isn't romantic in nature - but purely platonic. so his offering his "body" as payment wasn't meant in a suggestive light - if it had been, he for sure wouldn't act as he did in Togawa's flat. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Togawa on the other hand keeps acting underhanded, cause yeah he got a crush - be he is very possessive, and manipulative - he knows Nozue is clueless. and knows the only way he can get close to him, is by hinting at what he wants but then changing the tone of what he said, to confuse Nozue. that kiss was as creepy to me here, as it was in the previews in the previous ep - heck creepier considering he waited and even took keys i'm assuming r Nozue's ?!? to what end, making a copy? idk what to make of him - his character to date just giving of shady stalker vibes - and how hot he is, doesn't make it ok

was just thinking my mini-rant in the previous ep's comment was unnecessary, and then we get Togawa kissing a sleeping Nozue's neck (at the end of the preview) consent out the door i guess (⊙_⊙;) who needs it, when we talking love?!? ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Togawa is too intense for my liking, idk his vibes in real life would be running a mile - and i can see that Nozue is lonely, not only a bit lost and isn't picking up any of the warning signs. even though in this ep (towards the end) he's noticing that something is off about Togawa approach. but as he doesn't see him in a romantic light he can't even being to comprehend that every word and action is calculated... *************************************************************************************************************donno maybe am the only jaded soul that isn't falling over n fanning herself about how "adorable of a couple they gonna make" - cause Nozue is too trusting naïve and vulnerable. and getting railroaded and bulldozed into a 'ship' doesn't a happily ever after make (* ￣︿￣)

hmmm so am a proud agest - having said that, maybe cause (in spite of the age difference) visually both leads seem the same age. i didn't find that fact to be a off-putting. heck if anything the one that i like more, is Nozue. he is more human for want of a better word and doesn't have an ulterior motive (Togawa is totally passive aggressive and a bit manipulative and idk how much i like those personality traits, when his "target" is a pure, trusting, unsuspecting soul). ********************************************but there were moments when i wondered if this is about gender - as in Nozue being Nonbinary. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************for a 1st ep there were a lot of routes this could've taken and it was interesting - but still feel like Nozue in-spite of his age is too naïve. i know in this BL universe people (the consumers not only the "producer's") love aggressive Seme's and can and will over-look anything he does in conquering/subjugating/"winning over" the Uke - as if the end justifies the means. ***************personally really hope the preview isn't an indicator of how this is gonna go - cause i don't think just cause the aggressor is younger it's ok - really wish this mold of "cause i love, i can treat the one i love as land i wanna invade, pillage and plunder..." mindset would stop - but am the odd one out so

yes this is cute and a ton of fluffy fun, but Team's "shy bride" act is getting old and keeps taking me out of the scene - last ep, dude couldn't sleep cause he needed nookie (and after all the innuendo's in that who's gonna say all he needed was to hug Win like some human plushie?!?) this time a kiss make's him angry? and him calling Win bro??? and i get that the point is to focus on the fun, sweetness that is infused in every ep - but small things bug me, until they over-shadow the main point oh well...
