seems like Yanase is the type of person that not only lacks self esteem/unconfident, he's easily manipulated. that freakin douche Benji that keeps putting him down, while manipulating him into doing his bidding is Machiavellian . if i was Yanase, i would ask that f*cker if i'm that bad, why does he want me so much. am i his charity case?!? he's like an abusive husband, that's brain-washing his spouse into believing that without him, they aint worth anything. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the fact Yanase was happily going along with that (even though i get, his final decision was made cause of Kaneda) just the fact that A-hole Benji would think he won or that now, he would have ample time to chip away at Yanase's self esteem and break him, made me see red. cause in real life this wouldn't bode well. so glad this a drama, and Kaneda was pushed into showing his hand (even though him bowing out, after confessing made me LOL literally) but glad that cat is out of it's bag and as there 2 more ep's, wonder where this will go - considering in the next ep (going by the preview) a yr has already passed and Yanase is back. but finally this is moving forward and not static. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side not - i Don't 'ship' the fujoshi's - kinda allergic for the need to 'ship' every character on scene to get shipped. can we just focus on the mains?!?

cute ending - the bank-robber was a weird addition - like why. guess so Kota would realize how important Naoya is to him. and he feels more then just gratitude towards him. **************************************************************************************all in all cute, but like i mentioned this could've been better and maybe just me, but there was a ton of potential in the side character's that was Never truly utilized. pity

this drama feels so wholesome, hard not to like the character's (even though starting to worry about the girl's that r fan-girling over Shin, seen too many BL's where the root of all trouble start with jealous females. so hope i'm wrong and that comes to not). but love the relationship between Shin and Minato, the push and pull given their personalities and age difference, is just satisfying to watch. usually the age thing is brushed aside and in a blink becomes a nonissue (which personally i detest, cause it isn't nothing) so glad finally we get a mature POV dealing with it. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this ep can be summed up as adults think about the consequences, while teens live in the moment - Minato is interested and flattered but he a realist, and knows he can't allow himself to get distracted. cause he will have to face the consequences (some he mentioned, others he didn't - this topic for sure aint not black and white) so i get him. and i think the reason he went to the reunion was to figure out if he still felt the same for Sakuma Sensei (not just hormones, like he told Shin). i love that he puts thought into his words and actions. to me that means he isn't making light of Shin's feelings. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************had a feeling Asuka was interested in Shin, but wasn't 100% sure. this time with that offer i'm sure he curious and if Shin was up for it, they would be together. but as Shin isn't, he laughed it off. bottom line think he's gay and just ready to experiment.

Kaneda is a closet pervertヾ(≧▽≦*)o he heard the words "temple" and WTH kinda perverted fantasy pops into his brain, getting hit by Yanase, who's repeating the word "Desire" boy whipped, or would like to be, considering that smile. **************but this was a fun ep - even though the whole Iguchi scenario was a bit of a reach, in that big company they got only one camera?!? and he not only asks Kaneda for help. but then tells him to keep it a secret, that ludicrous - but logic and common sense out the door when we got a 'ship' to set sail, at least this getting entertaining. **********************************************though could do without the ex coming in to make the new love interest jealous, but as introverted and in his head Kaneda is, i guess he needs someone to come n rock the boat.

well this was a hells short ep (cause i fast-forwarded everything... but Wayne Song & Huang Chun Chih (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) cameos, now they were worth the watch. heck was the only thing, i was looking forward too) the rest was a load of b.s, a hot steaming pile of it. and after the previous ep's halfassed conclusion, this obviously couldn't get better - wasn't expecting miracles, so there is that. so thankfully the end

call B.S on this whole ep's "conclusions", it's a bad farce! Yuki has apologized how many times now and why? for tossing out some old clothes that were never important to anyone, but that backboneless moron Ying Ze?!??? cause he can't face the fact that he threw a tantrum, cause everything got too much for him - so instead to telling Yuki "i freaked cause, i'm scared and everything is happening to fast..." he blamed it on Yuki and made him apologize idk how many times - going so far as to make him ask to be taken back?!? like r u serious.. and i'm supposed to be happy that they back together(?) and not see this as doomed relationship, that means that at the first sign of trouble Ying Ze gonna call it quits, cause it's to much work other wise?!? plz plz plz OMG at the stupidity. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************if that wasn't enough who happy at that ending. Ze Shou's father was happy that his son had come back to him tail between legs, all apologetic and subservient. as he already knew Li Gong was out of the picture, his plans for his son was back on track. until his son comes with his "i'm gonna go find myself" idea, giving up a lucrative, respectable job and then his father suddenly finds a conscience?!? now it's fine if his son is gay?!? as long as he keeps a respectable job and stays put??? would say more about Li Gong - but that was plain stupid and i really don't even care to address his reasons for the break-up - needless to say this plot going from bad to worse ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - never liked Nikita she been a b*tch from the start, bitter and moody without justification. so her venting on Ze Shou cause he has Li Gong heart, was funny to watch. as she just keeps proving what a petty character she is

would say i'm left speechless, but that would be a lie. this for sure has been one WTF moment after another. will start easy, didn't want or like Yuki being the first one to make a move. didn't like the dude from the start, but he has been genuine in his affection and relation with Ying Ze. even if a bit misguided he was trying to do good for the one he loved and it backfired, for reasons he couldn't comprehend - i.e Ying Ze's zero self-worth. so the one that Needed to step up and come hat in hand with a peace offering, let alone apologize was Ying Ze(!), Not Yuki. his saying sorry after the fact - when those old clothes weren't even the real reason for his going mental, is a bad omen for things to come. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************speaking of harbinger's, seeing Li Gong sitting across from Ze Shou's father at the start of the ep, was an indicator we will get the tedious self-sacrificing trope. where one half of the 'ship' gonna demolish the other, all cause they love them so much they gotta break them - literally. so they will move on to something better as they deserve - like talk b.s. makes little to no sense and yet writer's of these moronic drama's, can't help but reuse this idiotic cliche. ****************************************************** and if that wasn't enough, was feeling genuinely sorry for any unsuspecting female that would get Li Gong as her blind date, cause the dude gay and just cause he isn't with Ze Shou doesn't mean women will fill that void - this taking us back centuries and she would be nothing but a beard and i'm seeing red with this stupid plot - but then we get the owner of the bar who i guess also needs a beard(?) as i'm sure she's gay - but what do i know this has left logic at the door, so whatever...

one hell of a turbulent ep - so many complex emotions. Ying Ze is too stuck in his ways and the bad part, he is comfortable as he is. so until now Yuki's existence let alone his moving in, getting near him has already been more of an upheaval then he can take. but he suffered in silence, cause there is a part of him that wants Yuki and what he has to offer, and yet the predominance side of him likes his boring hum-drum life. he is sure that the excitement that exists with and for Yuki, will dwindle down to nothing, like it happened with his wife. and he will end up as before - alone. *******************************************************that's why he doesn't want what is his - his own space to be changed with or without permission, it's like a safety blanket. cause deep down, he is unsure of how capable their relationship is of lasting. this is sad and yet realistic. self-worth can't be taught it has to come from within. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the main pair's conflict thankfully was from an outside source - glad they well grounded as a couple, they had a shaky start but when a problem arose they presented a united front. which indicates this pairing might do better in the long run - i hope. the father's reaction was understandable - cause he was blindsided and yeah we all would want the parents to be all accepting, loving and caring individual's, but they human and thus not perfect - also his reaction other then shock was also an accumulative blow-up with everything else going on in his life (his ex wife dying) etc... so he lashed out - which might not have happened in normal circumstances

well this was a very fluffy ep - full of happy bunnies, rainbows and unicorns or the calm before the storm like i wanna call it. but as a die-hard pessimist i get suspicious of ep's like these... let alone we not a stones throw from the end. which can go either way, considering we got 2 couple's and have to say the writers haven't followed any rules, so idk how to predict what the end will be for either pair. but cute all the same **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also like that Ze Shou is the more domestic of the two, and keeps trying to feed Li Gong - considering how one sided their relationship was until the big confession, it's great to see and makes their ending up together, that much more acceptable to me (as pointed out, until this change i didn't think Ze Shou was worthy of a bighearted person like Li Gong).

ok had to pause just to "ask", WHY didn't Ze Shou help Li Gong?!? idk how Li Gong knew where to find both moronic siblings (unless he got a GPS tracker on Ze Shou) But that isn't important at this moment, or how he turned into Bruce Lee. what is, is WHY Ze Shou turned damsel in distress that needed to hide behind her man?!?*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also was so looking forward to seeing Akihiro Kawai (from See You After Quarantine?) and even his partner (Lance Chiu) but those cop caps obstructed the view of that beautiful face, pity. but at least got to bask in Aaron Lai's beauty (for a few sec's) Hank Wang on the other hand, could take or leave considering wasn't a fan of his character in Be Loved in House: I Do, heck hated that BL . but watched it cause of Aaron, so of course was happy to see him again. short but sweet *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************the side story, like everyone else mentioned has zoomed forward plot-wise. i still don't get why or how, cause Yuki is more in-love with himself then with others. he's pretty transparent that way, so the fact he charming the pants off Ying Ze (literally) suddenly equate to love?!? with a Don Juan like him - really? ok. lets believe it cause that's how it's written. *********************but for one talking about being boring and stuck in his ways, to automatically ask "what r we now" just cause he woke up in the same bed with a guy he become acquainted with a sec ago, is a reach. oh well, at lest they funny (even though i doubt they mean to be)

Ying Ze was the saving grace of this ep - not Ying Ze & Yuki (still find Yuki dochey as a MOFO, dude can't help but flirt - women, men, anything living should pay homage to douche-boy ) but Ying Ze is turning out to be totally sweet and he looks so confused about Yuki's flirting - it's kinda adorable. also thought he was attracted to him, but maybe it was just curiosity (btw Yuki doesn't look half or even quarter Japanese's - just saying). **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the main's (⊙x⊙;) Ze Shou hasn't redeemed himself in my eye's, but his apology brought a tiny fact to my attention. yeah Li Gong hurting, but he has been constantly enabling Ze Shou, anyone else in his situation would find ways to distance themselves, from their unrequited crush. so even though i still think Ze Shou a douche that is milking his relationship with Li Gong. Li Gong is equally at fault for this situation. so it is what it is - as of now happy romance material it aint

reading some of the comments thought i would like/enjoy this ep i didn't. i don't like Ze Shou, as time passes it seems like he is playing with Li Gong, he keeps getting touchy feely with Li Gong but the second Li Gong puts his hand on him, he brushes him off. why?!? why this push and pull? ***************************************************************************************************plus what i like even less, it seems like Li Gong is more or less in the role of spouse, he providing/giving/caring in almost every way for Ze Shou - and other then joke around Ze Shou doesn't have to commit or do anything in return - so nah unless he does something really big to make-up for being a total douche, his funny man act is getting old and he not even seem that good of a friend. ********************************************************************************************************************************personally from what i've seen (and this been going on for over a decade) think Li Gong deserves better. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************Yuki hasn't gotten any more likeable - that whole scene between him and Ying Ze and his daughter was weird - he a weirdo and his stoic, cool guy act is stupid, especially when it's acting aloof that in that scene, it was like WTF is this dude's problem, can't he act normal?!? and that kid is a spoilt brat that hasn't been educated, she not once say "sorry" or "thank u" but sadly this side plot feels like flogging a dead horse. so the plot-hole seem countless and redundant to point out

i for one doubt Ze Shou was that drunk, he didn't remember kissing Li Gong, both times - idk maybe he isn't ready to come out or even understand the reasoning behind his own actions, that's why he acting oblivious the day after. but from my POV he aware of what he is doing, just not ready to acknowledge it. which i get and yet don't like, cause it isn't fair to anyone - let along a good person/friend like Li Gong, who is really the only person he can rely on. ****************************************************so really hope there is some development with them, cause i feel really bad for Li Gong - he is hurting and unable to distance himself from the source of his pain and confusion. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************had a feeling the Bar owner lady was Ying Ze's ex and that's why she disliked his laundromat - but guess not. either way if i was him and i opened my shop to that pile of garbage, i would've called the cops not tried to clean that sh*t myself - he too passive for my liking... *************************************************************************************************************************and Yuki too full of himself, i get there people think he hot, fine different courses for different horses, but when he walking about like he the sh*t, that just rubs me the wrong way and i'm starting to really dislike the douche

read a lot of good reviews for this, so hoping this is good. personally happy to see Shi Cheng Hao (the one playing Fu Li Gong) from HIStory3: Make Our Days Count. he was just a aside character there, but considering how cute he is - hard not to notice. so glad he got a drama of his own. ****************************************************************************************************for a 1st ep this was cute, introducing all the mains and showing other players that will add to the drama. personally not really into the 2nd couples looks (yeah shallow of me ), so their story - can take or leave it. but maybe their acting will be so compelling, will change my mind. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************know it's obvious to the eye, that in this Li Gong is already aware of his feelings for Ze Shou, but considering how Ze Shou reacted to Li Gong's date going smoothly, have a feeling that even he on a subconscious level is "into" Li Gong. and as long as they r together 24/ he doesn't have to face his true feelings. so waiting for that to develop.****************************************************************************************************************************************side note - i DON'T LIKE how Ze Shou treats his sister. i get it's supposed to be cute and funny. but i have a things about hitting in gest - it still freakin hurts and so it aint funny╚(•⌂•)╝

i'm glad Minato keeps putting on the brakes and doesn't get swept up in Shintaro's hormonal haze. which given how attracted he is to him, i get how easy it could be to just give in. but i guess cause of his own experience (which was hinted at in the previous ep's flashback of his high-school-days) he is weary of being in any type of 'ship' where there is a huge age difference. even though wonder is he gonna reject Shintaro in the next ep, cause he knows they don't have a future - cause it didn't turn out differently with his teacher? or cause he still can't get over that teacher and hopes that now that he is of age, he stands a better chance?!? **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw had a bad feeling about Tomoya (the beautiful kid hounding Shintaro) but now have a feeling, he to is gay and finding out Shintaro is gay - he just wants to befriend a like minded individual.
