So Ri Bu has always been diabolical, so little wonder he continues to be a master manipulator even as a ghost. poor Lawyer Ko didn't know what hit him, literally (⊙_⊙;) *******************************************************************************************but still wondering what So Ri Bu is up too, how he go from framing Han Ri Ta, getting her beaten & wanting her dead (just to get at Do Ha) to then offering an option of marriage?!? *****************************************************************************also what happened in between Do Ha running off with Han Ri Ta, killing a soldier at that (to help her escape from his father) to then end up back & for So Ri Bu to let both off without even a mild punishment. what this evil dude up too & how it all connects is making me itch o(≧∀≦)o i need to know ASAP******************************************************************************************************************************************side note: didn't get why Jun Oh went along with the gf plot that Yi Seul been scheming at for a few ep's. why the change of heart? what i miss ＼（〇_ｏ）／*******************************************************************************************************************************************also i have to say i don't get what the grudge is & how to break it - or rather why Young Hwa is a must. or is the real "cure" Young Hwa answering Do Ha question as to why she killed him. ******************************************************************************************************************************************additional side note: that old monk is a waste of space i don't get what the point of knowing/recognizing the situation for what it is & yet not being able to give any info that would help either lead. not to mention conveniently no one know of So Ri Bu's existence

so the bracelet was the amulet & what was tying Do Ha to Han Ri Ta/Young Hwa. but he is wrong that she's the one who is holding him back. they made that pact together ＼（〇_ｏ）／ he forget that part?!? if anything he initiated it, by what he said after giving her those lotus seeds. ***************************************************************************************************but still don't get why he needs to kill her, to break the curse = his inability to move on. if anything as their bet was being present together in a 1000 yrs when the lotus seeds bloom - wasn't the moment they both heard it on the news, where he said he won, while she said she lost - was the end of the beat, breaking any ties binging them?!? if i am getting this right, that moment should've been the end. so wonder what i missed or what's yet to unfold.******************************************************************************************************************************************idk what So Ri Bu's damage is (& really not interested in watching more of the actor playing him) but why Tae Ju (Jun Oh’s rival) like putty in Seok's hands? doesn't he feel that something is off? let alone, i aint writing no "suicide note" & offering it to another, even if i didn't sign it. ********************************************************************************************************also would really appreciate it, if we get more info about how much/what powers the ghosts have. have seen that Jun Oh who was a weakling, is now super strong & agile cause of Do Ha. so So Ri Bu also got super powers? to make people mindless zombies?******************************************************************************************************************************************Yi Seul is nasty & am glad Do Ha not giving her the time of day. but she seems conniving & have a bad feeling that if anyone can hurt the mains, it will be her more then the disgusting step-father poltergeist.

so from what i gather; the emperor Do Ha's biological father gave his son for adoption to his brother. but as he doesn't seem to like him much - Why?!? didn't see a heir around (which would be sitting near him), as he would take his father's place when the time comes, so he needs to see how his father rules. so why would any father give up their son for adoption, let alone to a man he doesn't seem to like ＼（〇_ｏ）／***********************************************************************************************So Ri Bu disliking Do Ha isn't shocking, as he doesn't like his brother the emperor. but as he can't physically kill Do Ha or the emperor he's abusing the son in any way he can, endangering him in the hopes he loses his life. little wonder growing-up in this type of environment, Do Ha feels his life isn't worth living. *************************************************************************Han Ri Ta coming along, just seems like a much worthier person to lose his life too, then his adoptive father, or even the emperor for that fact.************************************************************************************************************************************************ironically or not they fall in-love & now Do Ha thinks Han Ri Ta somehow tied his soul to her & that is why he can't pass over. but how does killing her end the cycle?!? didn't get that.************************************************************************************************************************************************also am assuming Do Ha murders So Ri Bu & that is why he & Han Ri Ta were on the run, let alone why So Ri Bu is holding a grudge & wants to kill Do Ha. but as both he & Do Ha r ghosts - on the same plane as it were... why isn't Do Ha aware of this fact/his existence? weird.

1st off if someone gets run over, the last thing one should do is try to shake them. there head or neck injuries that can be fatal - just FYI.*****************************************************************************************************************************************also this complex enough without the addition of another grudge holding ghost - especially one played by Lee Kyung Young {{{(>_<)}}} but ignoring the actor. who has the prince latched onto? he been hounding Do Ha, who was haunting Han Ri Ta's reincarnations?!? weird****************************************************************************************************************************************Yi Seul is a witch, she keeps treating people like dirt & getting away with it - why? cause she go good of an actress? cause she's good looking? famous & in demeaned? connected? what? cause no matter how good looking or good or an actress u r if u aint connected or making bucket loads of cash u wont last. anyway am totally enjoying how Jun Oh/Do Ha keeps putting her in her place. of course would love it if he was ruthless considering watch a diabolical witch she is... but it is what it is*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note - so was right about the bracelet? or was the amulet with the young monk that was hiding from Jun Oh/Do Ha???

side note: when i saw the young monk on the train, was sure he's the same dude playing her father. here we got to see the father (not just a small pic) & am 99% sure am right. *****************************************************************************************************************************************also love Yoon Je (Jun Oh’s manager) dude has been funny from the start, really adds some much needed lightheartedness. hope there is more of him cause he's totally stealing the show for me.****************************************************************************************************************************************watching the start am 100% sure Han Ri Ta fell for Do Ha & yet idk why at that point she chose to kill him (maybe as they seemed to be on the run, she thought better her then someone else＼（〇_ｏ）／). also didn't get WTH was going on in Do Ha's head, why keep alive a person that tried to assassinate u, someone who has a legitimate reason. unlike someone who was hired, there's no amount of money or anything that will make them change their mind. & he not only lets her live, he then keeps her close. fostering a relationship thinking love would change her mind?!? hell of a gamble IMHO a stoopid one at that (ノへ￣、)so now he got his panties in a bunch cause she betrayed the trust he put in her? or cause he thinks she lied about loving him? either am sure he's stuck cause of his anger at the betrayal, doubt she's holding him to her. so doubt his killing her will release him. *****************************************************************************************************************************************am worried the amulet he's searching for is the bracelet (we got a close-up on in the 1st ep). even though want to be wrong & want her to have a higher power watching over her. but time will tell...

was hyped for this to finish, so could start binge watching & made the mistake of reading the comments before i started... talk about party poopers o(≧∀≦)o so think this time around won't continue as i usually do. cause after watching the 1st ep am totally in.*****************************************************************************************************************************************this was fun, didn't go as i accepted considering the description. but all in all an interesting plot & character's that am looking forward to how they will develop.*****************************************************************************************************************************************Han Jun Oh is the typical spoilt brat that gets away with murder, cause there is an enabler around that has made him this way. case in point Han Min Oh the over protective, over indulgent older brother that is also his manager(ノへ￣、). little wonder he is the way he is? he for sure knows how to work hard when he wants to, like with that b*tch of a gf (ex gf). he not stupid, but so smitten he was letting her walk all over him, which he usually doesn't enable - so "celebs with sh*tty attitudes aside" HJO's problem is his enabling older brother. ***********************************************************************************************Do Ha was harder to read, i get that he is the aggrieved, grudge holding murdered husband that has attached himself to his killer wife's soul. but until the last moment he didn't realize why she did what she did, who she was?!? given the time period he was from shouldn't "An eye for an eye" be the modus operandi then?!? ＼（〇_ｏ）／ but i guess when ur holding a grudge, logic won't register (≧∇≦)ﾉ*****************************************************************************************************************************************the monk was the only bit that made me raise my eyebrow, like if he's running scared & avoiding ghosts, who can one turn to when possessed?!? weird -

1st off found it ironic that even now, there people bad-mouthing Shimizu. what she do in this ep that got under their skin is beyond me. if anything was curious about her offering to play badminton with her boss. she not worried that he would (again) develop feelings & start hounding her? or maybe after her main option fell-through, she's open to chance it with a man that want's her. ***************************************************************************************************************************either way, she was far from the diabolical FL that tries to get in-between the mains, that others in the comment section made her out to be.****************************************************************************************************************************************the rest was meeh - sadly was right & as i thought (at the start) this was a bit toxic. Miki until the very end played the passive a$$ that just stood around waiting for Ichijou to not only make the 1st move but all the moves until the very last moment. the fact that at the end he was ready to adopted Ichijou's method of liberation is neither here nor there. but as this the end, whatever...****************************************************************************************************************************************this was ok for a 1 off, it was slow paced but not boring & i would've loved if the plot or rather Miki's character had some growth. so he could be a bit worthy of Ichijou. which didn't happen & never will IMHO so personally don't want or need a 2nd season. also this a BL even if it aint erotic & we don't get any intimacy scenes, this far from a Bromance as some said.

from the start of this Ichijou always finds ways to make me cringe, so nothing new in this ep o(≧∀≦)o(≧∇≦)ﾉ but Liu Hao Shan is a sweetheart, to come running all the way to clear up the misunderstanding he created. heck at least there's one character here that got the bulls by the horns & strikes when the iron is hot, instead of some i can mention - that keep mute when they should talk, let alone run away at the slightest sign of an awkward conversation/interaction`(*>﹏<*)′ & yes i am talking about Miki(!) his passiveness is rubbing me the wrong way. *******************************************************************************an ep from the end & i have yet to think for a sec, that he's deserving of the naïve bighearted, goofball that is Ichijou ＼（〇_ｏ）／******************************************************************************************************************************************am glad Ichijou ended things with Shimizu in a good way. sadly she was infatuated with him & her sudden offer wasn't an out of the blue thing. *****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: that conversation at the end was weird, yeah eating naked is no biggy, but am 100% sure that Miki's not gonna disrobe. just the scene of Ichijou sitting there nude, while Miki fully clothed - yeah that is totally weird Ψ(￣∀￣)Ψ

idk if Miki is really this stupid or just not aware of how his mixed signals, let alone flat out rejection has borne fruit, he's say's he & Ichijou didn't understand each other, is an out & out lie. he has made it clear to Ichijou that even though he kissed him, he isn't interested in exploring a romantic relationship with him. there No confusion in the message he has delivered time & again. Ichijou is doing what he wants giving him space & keeping it platonic. i for one Don't feel sorry for Miki. all the advise Liu Hao Shan keeps giving him, goes in through one ear & out the other. even at the end when they finally communicated, anytime Ichijou was about to say something that would clear the misunderstanding Miki shut-him-down complicating the misunderstanding even more (ノへ￣、)*****************************************************************************************************************************************the one i feel bad for is Ichijou, dude really is a good-guy in every sense of the word & until now his actions might have stemmed from naiveté, confusion even uncertainty but never malice. the last thing he needed was someone gaslighting him just cause of their personal hang-ups/trauma ＼（〇_ｏ）／ but he was doing bad using Shimizu. that's why (even though i hate psychical violence) IMHO she was kinda justified.*****************************************************************************************************************************************regarding Shimizu idk if i feel sorry, but i feel for her. she cares for Ichijou but also knows deep down that he's interested in another. still she's hoping she has enough to offer, that he will notice her & forget the other. sadly that isn't how life works. this not a healthy way the start a relationship, cause even if works out with Ichijou she will always wonder if there is regret in his heart & if he's truly hers.

didn't bother to read the comments, but can guess how much Shimizu was disparaged. again i say, the only one to blame is Miki, he got this mess of a ball rolling. ************************************************************************************************he keeps pushing Ichijo away, confusing him time & again, let alone down right rejecting him so why he shocked that Ichijo is doing what he wants & backing off? so sorry but Shimizu not the bad-guy just cause she fell for a catch like Ichijo, she knows he has feelings for another, but is still trying - cause she gets things not working out between Ichijo & Miki. the reasons be what they may, she's trying her luck (not something i would do, but can see people trying their luck, rather then sit still & miss out on a great guy like Ichijo＼（〇_ｏ）／). ****************************************************************************************************************************************but even she understood she didn't stand a chance & that's why she put an end to things with Ichijo, when he offered she eat with him. her going to Miki was to motivate the moron to move his ass & fight for Ichijo before it was too late. but Miki's a passive moron & Shimizu the bad guy??? really???? plz*******************************************************************************************************************************************Ichijo sadly did what i was worried he would do, he is very confused about his feelings regarding Miki & Miki playing hot & cold is further confusing him. as he decide (in this ep) to back off, the safest way to not go back on his word was by getting into a relationship with someone else. so he won't fixate on someone that doesn't want his advances - thus we get the end we got. sadly the one who is gonna end up hurt, is Shimizu. who i guess has been crushing on Ichijo for a while. oh well, this whole plot is a bit unhealthy if realistic....

of course the Shimizu bashing is back with full force ผ(•̀_•́ผ) well she aint the bad-guy. y'all searching for one, the only one in this BL is Miki. yeah he might be frustrated & scared into acting the a$$; scared of realizing his dream & waking up to a reality where Ichijou doesn't love him back. so he rather keep pushing him away, instead of dealing with what comes. he wants assurance's that r illogical in any relationship. who promises love will last forever? no matter how hard u fall at the start, things can & do change with time & not always in a way u want. ****************************************************************************here Ichijou is being candid, about his confusion & as he isn't gay. his being confused & yet trying to figure-out his feelings isn't reasonable/understandable to Miki?!? like come on ＼（〇_ｏ）／ this annoying, cause what he's basically doing is hurting a confused Ichijou, just cause he wants a guarantee, let alone a verbal confession of undying love, this absurd on so many levels (ノへ￣、) ******************************************************************************************************************************also douche accusing Ichijou of using him, cause of a kiss, like biatch (ノ｀Д)ノ u the one that kissed a sleeping person without consent. not only did Ichijou ask, he also got push away & didn't even touch u. but Miki acting like the injured party. bit*h plz (╬▔皿▔)╯ enough with running away & then playing the victim card (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ *******************************************Liu Hao Shan is a good person but a bad advisor, someone needs to smack Miki upside the head & tell him to stop running away & assuming sh*t, that he should try sitting still & actually having a candid conversation with Ichijou (ugh whatever i don't really care for Miki & his personal hang-ups, who's causing Ichijou much unnecessary headache).***********************************************************************************************************************************************Shimizu on the other hand as i predicted has fallen for her reliable, considerate, savior. she of course thinks that Ichijou got rejected & that is her in. which sadly isn't the case, so even if this wasn't a pre-authored plot & conclusion where the mains end-up together, she would've failed in real life, as Ichijou's curiosity has been quipped & that isn't something anyone can ignore & move on from so easily - more the pity IMHO *******************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i think Katayama Yuki playing Shimizu is really beautiful (●'◡'●)

before i started this, read so many comments saying this not BL, this at most a Bromance & watching i wonder WTH is wrong with people.＼（〇_ｏ）／(ノへ￣、) this obviously BL, the fact they haven't jumped each others bones & don't get all touchy feely doesn't make this platonic, not given the emotions clearly exhibited by both leads.*****************************************************************************************************************************************also given the previews it's pretty clear Miki (as per-usual) pushed Ichijou away at the last moment. cause he's scared or confused or idk... from the start of this, he's giving mixed signals & i get being gay, let alone coming out to the person u have been infatuated with for a long a$$ time, isn't easy. so he is running scared & i think even if Ichijou wasn't confused as he is (again justified) & he would've confessed to Miki. he would've been rejected, cause Miki is so used to running scared; believing he'll never be noticed, that his feelings/love wouldn't be reciprocate. he can't allow himself to believe that his dream is finally coming true. so i get his always putting up walls to safe-guard his heart. **************************************************************what saddens me is that Ichijou isn't a bad-guy & doesn't need to be this confused or even gaslighted cause of Miki's insecurities. but that's life for u, just hope Miki won't make him work too hard - cause that would be bordering on toxic & i aint into that type of 'ship' (⊙x⊙;)*******************************************************************************************************************************************Liu Hao Shan is a sweetheart of a guy, but must admit i didn't get why he & his lover never worked out. that wasn't explained enough for me to get, what was stopping Liu Hao Shan to go after the guy he loved. when he realized his feelings were returned ผ(•̀_•́ผ) also he was talking as if he's a senior citizen - living a life like a monk - that's just depressing (ノへ￣、)

am glad Miki finally opened his mouth ╯︿╰ like seriously with his always evading from exposing's his true feelings, was getting annoying to watch. not cause i didn't get his fear, but cause it was confusing Ichijou into thinking everything was in his head. so glad he finally fessed up. at least now Ichijou who is as confused about his own feelings, knows that there is something between them, that they can now explore... *******************************************************************************************************************************************btw found it ironically hypocritical how everyone in the comment section has gone mute about Shimizu. what now that it's obvious she has no ill intent towards the mains, that she noticed the chemistry between them & is lowkey supportive. she not note worthy?!? people been dumping on her for a few eps & suddenly not one person thought to give a minor mention, to how wrong they read her??? ( ˘︹˘ )*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: am glad Ichijou stopped with the strip-tease, unlike everyone else it was just cringe to me. not that i have a problem with people doing whatever in the nude, u do u - but the close-up shots of his body was getting exploitative IMHO

people seriously looking for reasons to hate on Shimizu, i get that in BL's the females r always portrayed as evil trouble makers, that try to break up the main couple - BUT that isn't the case here ＼（〇_ｏ）／ she not once, try to get in-between the mains, if anything her hesitation at watching them laugh & interact was an indicator, she realized there is more between them then friendship. she came there to ask for the chairs (as Ichijo's the owner of the house) & it's courteous to say hello to someone u've encountered before, someone that helped u by encouraging an indecisive Ichijo to agree - or this not logical for anyone else to do? ************************************************************************************************************************************so she mentions the fake-lover issue (as that the reason she met Miki), who enabled that situation to work out, what else she gonna talk to him about?!? the weather?!? plz( ˘︹˘ )*****************************************************************************************************************************************given the way Miki always keeps recoiling from Ichijo, is sending mixed messages. he for sure infatuated with Ichijo (& given the flashbacks he has been for a very long time) but the way he acts around Ichijo, one would think he's straight & Ichijo is the one invading his space. i don't get what the goal here is? he doesn't need to confess, but not shrink back like that, not if u want someone to know u r "open"/interested (ノへ￣、) let alone back off cause u keep flashing a "not interested" sign by ur actions

reading the comments was sure they were over reacting regarding Shimizu Komachi & wasn't wrong. yeah there was a plot-hole where she knows where Ichijo spends his weekends/where his grandma's house is. that was just illogical no matter how u look at it. ******************************************************************************************************************************same with her inviting herself to dinner, when she had a more pressing matter at hand another b.s plot point. but ironically or not the one that angered me was Miki. he was on his way out - why he cancel his appointment? he married to Ichijo? did an uninvited guess pop-up at their place so he had to stay back & entertain them??? he for sure didn't have to butt-in & encourage Ichijo to help her out. why?!????? *******************************************************************************************************************************************Shimizu isn't conniving or underhanded, she doesn't have any ulterior motives & she for sure not lusting after Ichijo (not from what i've seen to date) but she knows he's the office fixer, that always comes to the aid of his co-workers when they have to deal with their annoying superior. even before they've asked, he's there holding their "hand". so of course she knew she could rely on him. let alone am sure every co-worker there takes it for granted that it is now his job, to be a buffer that makes their lives easier in that place. right or not this is what Ichijo have fostered in that place. **********************************************************************************************************************************************yes Teshigawara was improper in his advances towards an employee, but he wasn't sexually harassing her. & yes that was an uncomfortable conversation to have no matter the circumstances, given their power dynamic. so i get why she's after Ichijo to fix the problem. also given the preview it looks more like she fell for her savior then she has always had some grand plan to woo Ichijo
