Judging by the preview of next week's episode, this was an exception - one I loved. I really liked the conversations that took place this episode, and how open, vulnerable and sincere they were. Ray and Mew set things straight and put an end to that weird shit they had going on, and Nick finally let Boston go (honestly, seeing Boston be the one to go after him for once was so refreshing). LOVED Sand and Nick's friendship, they are so cute and if anyone dares to ruin what they have, I'll fight them. I still think Ray should face some consequences for being a dick to Sand and playing him almost until the end, and Sand should have a little bit more dignity and not let Ray in so easily. The actors have chemistry, though, and so do the characters. In conclusion, everyone is dumb as a brick, toxic, flawed and colorblind to the glaring red flags, but these peaceful moments they get humanize them amongst all the drama they've got going on. I'm specially hooked on Boston, he's so f-ed up but he's such an interesting character.

Not that this series has been a masterpiece so far, but I was expecting a little bit more after the last episodes. This was not good. Segasaki was basically stalking Yoh the entire time, stayed outside the building like the insane man he is, took Yoh with him while ignoring the owners of the apartment he had just burst into, and proceeded to ignore Yoh after a fucking dumb misunderstanding. Honestly, at this point I ship Yoh more with the random husband than with Segasaki. Idk how the hell I'm supposed to be rooting for him - he's so possessive and creepy and just confusing. Only good moment of this ep, as I said, was Husband and Yoh having fun and being friends. That's it.

This episode on its own was so heartwarming. The characters have lots of interactions that feel genuine and completely natural, and that's thanks to the two actors' chemistry. Some moments were a little bit cheesy for my taste, but overall it was fun. I still think Kanghan should formally apologize to Sailom and his friends for the (severe) bullying, even though I appreciate that he tried to make up for it in this ep. Also, I LOVE Auto. He's so funny when he gets drunk lmaoJust, calling back to what I first said (this episode 'on its own').. I struggle to match this Kanghan to the one we met on episode 1. It's not just character development - it's unrealistic change of behavior in the span of a REALLY short amount of time. This is not the enemies to lovers I was sold.

This is so so messy. Everyone's turning into a red flag and I'm here for it. Loved seeing the genuine fear in Ton's eyes for once. And Top's well deserved misery as well. Also, someone please save my boy Nickkk, he's down bad and it's going to hurt him - and Sand needs to get away from Ray until the latter figures out his feelings, he's way too good for Ray.

I find it funny that the actors playing San and Tharn are actually much closer in age than Tharn and Type, yet I still see San as a p*dophile. When he said he was attracted to Tharn's 'innocence' as a 14 year-old - wtf?? I did like this episode more than the previous ones, though. They communicated their issues, apologized, and talked things out (even though, imo, Type had every right to be jealous of seeing San and Tharn together, specially after knowing they had been a thing). As for Tharn's family, I don't really care for it, I'm sorry. I'm just watching their scenes because the actress that plays the mom is also in My School President and I love her. Otherwise, meh.

This episode was going to get at least a 9 from me up until the p*dophile bit Kanghan pulled on Sailom. I'm just- are you kidding? You do NOT accuse someone of being a p*do (with pictures and all, and I'm scared to even ask where he got them from) and walk away from it so easily. I'm all for redemption arcs, but he HAS to apologize to Sailom for that, and everything else he's done to him. A sad montage of him remembering his wrongdoings is not enough for me. I want a proper apology, and I want some consequences for what he did. I'm okay with pretty much everything else, but bringing p*dophilia into the mix is just too much. You have to be pretty fucked up to come up with that. If that scene wasn't in the episode, I would've loved it. It was great. Sailom outsmarting Kanghan every time is great. The grandma? Also great. But that one scene ruined Kanghan's character for me (at least for now).

I feel like a lot happened in this episode. Thank God they made up, these poor boys can't catch a break for their life - they spent this entire episode crying lolAt least Wu Bi's dad is making an effort to get along with his only son - it was about time.

I loved the dancing scene, even though I don't think that those moves were the most appropiate for an audience of 8-year-olds lolHalf the episode was just Su Yu having zero dignity and waiting for Wu Bi's uncle to notice him - it made my blood boil. Like yes, love that he's willing to go that far to help his friend, but we spent 20 minutes just watching him suffer under the sun while that asshole ignored him. Does it make him feel superior to mistreat a teenager as a grown ass man? I was SEETHING

This episode was kind of bittersweet for me. I think they are trying to redeem the mom, and I'm not really into that. I can understand that she misses her son and her husband is an absolute pos, however she did badmouth Su Yu's dad, his new wife AND Duo for no reason. Like, did we forget that she tried to love-bomb Duo to get closer to Su Yu?? Sorry, I still don't like nor trust her.I also understand why Su Yu didn't tell Wu Bi about his 'investigation', but I hate that they're keeping secrets from each other again.

Honestly, I'm thinking of dropping this series already. It's so frustrating. Lom didn't tell Nuea the truth when he had the chance, but that didn't stop him from flirting with him and kissing him? Also, Nuea is surprisingly okay with the whole thing, like, he immediately moves on from the kiss (I would've freaked out if someone who's getting married kissed me, but anyway), and has no problem holding his hand and being super close to Lom all the time. Like, what? He KNOWS that Lom is in a relationship, and doesn't back off. It's off-putting.Also, I wish the GL couple was developed a little further - they act like highschoolers. I found it endearing in the first two eps, but now it's getting a little stale.

It seems to me that, in this episode, they chose to focus more on character development than story progression - which is great, because it allows us to understand each character better. The relationship between Su Yu's mom and Wu Bi's dad is complex, and kind of toxic, but it's portrayed really well in this episode. I also like Su Yu's dad's wife, she's so smart and caring.

This episode was great! They resolve their issues, the girl leaves (as she should), and everything is back to normal. I really thought they were going to kiss at one point, but they didn't, so I'm still hoping for it in the next episode (?). Also, LOVED the ending scene with the two friends, it was so funny

It was very funny and entertaining. Love the initial dynamic of "You're an asshole and you annoy me" that they have going on. I also like that none of them is portrayed as meek or unassuming, which is a trope that I'm so ready to leave behind. Give me snark! Give me banter! We need more dramas where both MCs are sassy and stubborn.

I like that they didn't stretch out the drama between them for too long and had them make up pretty quickly. This episode was also quite dramatic, but it was well acted and it ended on a positive note. My notes:- Ahh yes get your boy back- Their matching scarves are adding years to my life I swear- I love the found family aspect of this show it's so cozy- First time I've heard that Geminis are flirty lol, I guess I'm the exception- Sleeping on the same bed again I'm done T-T- If anything happens to Duo I'm not responsible for my actions- Yess beat his ass!- The conversation in their bedroom was great. I'm so happy they have eachother- That girl is kind of manipulative tbh. Fixing up his book to get him to do something for her.- I didn't know Ms. Zhou wasn't actually his aunt so I was flabbergasted when he told his Dad to marry her lmao- Omg they actually did itt - Bro got brother-zoned

I liked the humor at numerous points throughout the episode - the main character is especially funny to me. I thought he was Green from 2gether at first lol, but turns out he isn'tI think I can see where the plot is going - the groom and the bride are marrying out of convenience, and allow their partner to pursue other relationships outside their own. However, it still feels a little bit weird, mainly because Nuea is not aware of that fact - that makes his locker room scene much more awkward, because he's terrified of getting with a groom-to-be. Which is, you know, understandable.
