thankfully an ep without Amagi weeping - also glad this time around he didn't run away. yeah that was Takara's go-to, but everyone needs to have their mini break where they run & hide. still when time came, they both talked it out, apologized & made-up. so everything ended well with the help of cupid/soulmate/bff Katori ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw that whole scene between Tanaka, Amagi & those girls was beyond weird. is that something that goes on in Japanese schools?!? this a new type of bullying, where to impress a bunch of girls the guys try & portray BL's scenes?!? freakin weird if u ask me - it would make me uncomfortable to watc, especially when it totally looked forced - that wasn't funny or cute. but i guess we needed a triangle of sorts, which am wondering - why, as both lead r already jealous where the other is concerned, without reason - we need reason now?!? ok, i guess...

feel bad for kid Amagi, but ironically he misunderstood his mother. the fact he doesn't voice his fears (even if understandable) r the reason he feels so lonely & unloved. if Takara was just like him, he would also keep quite & slowly they both would drift apart. *********************************************************************************************************************************so hope Amagi grows as this progresses, cause his running away to lick his wounds, instead of dealing with the problem & clearing the misunderstanding will make it clear that there r no wounds to "lick". the crying is just making me roll my eyes at this point - sorry but this the 5th ep with him balling his eyes out & personally am over that. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Katori (if i aint mistaken) Amagi's soulmate / bff is a gem.

hmmm this is sweet & love that we got more of Taraka's POV, considering he the introvert that goes about his life never emoting. unlike Amagi who wears his heart on his sleeve. heck watching them both, Taraka comes of mature while Amagi is totally immature & childlike. so wasn't astonished that Taraka was the one that noticed & fell for Amagi 1st. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************also love that even though the plot is about the mains, other character's get a time to shine & r not just used as wallpaper or tools to further the plot. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: this isn't getting on my nerves yet, but it is starting to bug me how fast Amagi is to cry. get being a hormonal, angsty teen but OMG - the dude is crying in almost every ep & as much as i love him, really wish he would stop - over use of anything diminishes it's effectivity, while when used sparsely it holds more impact IMHO

Amagi's such a weirdo, a cute one but still the overacting/reacting was killing me & then the dude out n out calls Takara a pervert to his face, as if he's to blame for what goes on in Amagi's mind & he made him fantasize about them ************************************************************************************************************************************************************but this ep much more fun then the previous one & it keeps surprising me was a goof Amagi is, considering how we saw him at the start of ep 1. he not the same person, which am thankful for - as that dude wouldn't make me want to stick around - while this one totally does. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also appreciate that even though Takara's a total tsundere, after the initial blow-up he is showing his hand & voicing his feelings the cold aloof front get old fast. so thankful that both leads make things clear to us even if not to each other

interesting & glad i pushed through, cause all the "drama" & angst at the start, without context wasn't doing it for me. neither was the back & forth, was all this happening on the day of the confession?! a week after? a month?!? what was the time line... where after X amount of time Amagi felt, Takara was just playing with his feelings & he felt the need to put a stop to what didn't even start?! & we got that break-up scene at the start. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************thankfully the rest was fun & light, the friend groups & their interaction with the mains helped me push-through to the end, let alone want to see more. that was funny especially Amagi's bff's - they such a mood ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************maybe this is "laid out" better in the adaptation, but here IMHO the 1st ep was a bit of a mess. hope this get's better plot (logically) progression wise

am confused and have to say, am disorientated cause i read the comment before watching the ep, so can't help being influenced by others POV's, right or wrong idk - or rather time will tell. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but regardless, this whole ep had a surreal feel to it, given how most of the scenes seemed to be filmed by a soft/blurry lens, making it seem like a dream sequence. the dude in the shop just gifting away stuff, added to this weird ambiance. so was this all Jae Won's imagination, escaping reality and an abusive parent?!? or did his cozy getaway turn into a tragedy?!? *********************************************************************************************************************************************************there was so much happening, but everything was so subtle, that will need multiple rewatches to catch what i missed. but was right in that Jae Won was drawn to Ji Hyun cause he reminded him of his younger sibling (how that converts into attraction idk). not that they lacked in chemistry... **********************************************************************************************what did bother/worry me was the fact that other then a dreamscape, this also seemed like an escape from normal life n reality as Jae Won knew it, but that can't last forever. so was worried cause that wasn't the case for Ji Hyun (who has fallen hard n fast) so when they go back, for him they will be going back as a couple, would that be the case with Jae Won?!? have a gut feeling that isn't the case - but like i keep pointing out, this dude really a mess n has so much on his plate, he doesn't really have anything to offer anyone. my warning bells still flashing

what a way to end the ep - and pretty sure it wont start at that point, if it does we wont get a kiss hmm well that's what i think, but who knows. what's for sure the chemistry between the mains aint lacking. a blind person would notice the sparks coming off them, little wonder Eun Ji has developed an instant animosity towards Ji Hyun, while she didn't feel threatened by the females juniors, no matter how flirty they were towards Jae Won, a woman knows (¬‿¬) ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but & in-spite of mentioning the chemistry /sparks between the mains, i can't definitively read Jae Won. is he attracted to Ji Hyun?!? or just looking at him as stand in for his younger sibling (whom he mentioned in a vague way in the 1st ep, where u kinda got something is wrong there - maybe he's dead idk...) n considering how he goes out of his way to care for, look after & include a shy, introverted Ji Hyun at every turn am confused - especially when we get that shower scene.. time will tell, i guess - either way this a way way better ep the the previous one

been a long ass while since i actually felt sad that a drama/BL was ending(✿◡‿◡)am gonna miss this. really fun watch - loved almost all of the character's. it was funny, sweet, wholesome n heartwarming. and Really appreciated that the newbies weren't taken advantage off, forced into scenes that would make me uncomfortable watching / wondering how comfortable the 18 yrs old were portraying intimate scenes＞﹏＜ let alone getting closeups on their bodies, turning them into pieces of meat {{{(>_<)}}} not a fun watch (know am the odd one out, but this is me ) *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but back to the ep, thankful Tinn's mother thought better n didn't press the matter. like i mentioned previously, she was worried n just wanted her son to confide in her. but that doesn't mean forcing him out of the closet, was the way to go. so glad she thought better & loved even more the advise her hubby, had for how to deal with their son (he was right) "no matter how society treats their son, he should receive kindness at home..." *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this was such a sweet BL, very pure n wholesome but i don't want /expect anything more from a teen romance, this is budding love, where u not only fall in-love for the first time - u discover what love is, n everything about this discovery should be magical, pure & wholesome . for sure a rewatch (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) as this is a gem!

well the preview was very surprising, cause seeing Teacher / Counsellor Decha's crazy counselling session was sure he would be the last person to have a homophobic POV - but guess u can never tell. if anything was worried about Principal Photjanee (✿◡‿◡) but as Tinn's mother didn't get to voice more then her wanting to talk to Tinn about Gun ￣へ￣ idk what she's gonna say (even though after this whole ep), pretty sure she just wants her son to confided in her. cause it's obvious she cares for him deeply, the only thing she's worried about is how society might mistreat him... ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also had a feeling they wouldn't win - as was sure that whatever got left as a cliffhanger would get a negative conclusion, that's why was elated when we got Gun's mother's survival affirmation at the end of the previous ep. like i keep saying i don't want Gun to suffer any more (even though seeing the preview {{{(>_<)}}} guess it won't be smooth sailing n there will be one more hurdle - well hope it's a hurdle, n there is a happily ever after`(*>﹏<*)′). ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - i kinda guessed that Por & Thiw were being paired up - but they got great chemistry, n it's shocking to me cause they a better pair then Win & Sound. as they not opposites attract / butting heads energy, am shocked that they much more interesting to me, pity they don't have more screen time to build anything ╯︿╰ shame...

reading that there was a cliffhanger n seeing Gun's mother being taken into operation sec's before the big competition ╯︿╰made we worry that, that would be the big "sword hanging" over our heads, until the next ep - n if that was the case, would be worried that it was a bad omen... but thankfully Not the case (◡‿◡). cause really loving the interaction between mother n son, n even if i didn't like their interaction, care for Gun's character so much that i don't want him to suffer another big loss. ********************************************************************************************************************************************but as there 2 more ep's to go i wonder what the big "issue" is gonna be, cause there no drama/BL without some problem that pops-up a sec before the end, that get's solved in the finale, so we get the "happily ever after". maybe Tinn's mother¯\_(ツ)_/¯ cause as loving/supportive as she is, the fact she always asking him about a potential (female) love interest, in-spite of realizing there a good chance Tinn is in a relationship with Gun is making me wonder if the fact the person is Gun will be the problem or the fact he a guy.. will see

am conflicted, get why Gun's mother is neglecting her health (and it's not just cause she doesn't want to worry her son, it's also cause she's human n she rather avoid finding out something that could be devastating for herself, to handle mentally not just financially) BUT as she is Gun's only family, she should think about her son; being there for him n be extra vigilant in taking care of herself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ cause leave forgoing his dreams, he will have to face a very harsh, lonely reality - if anything happens to her. that's terrifying being forced to become an adult in a n instant, let alone having no "home" to turn too IMHO. so seeing her neglecting her heath, isn't just worrying, but frustratingly annoying to me (ノへ￣、)*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************ep was cute n funny as per usual - Yak is a total nut-job, dude graduated but got nothing better to do?!? oh well at least he added to the craziness. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************n this a side observation. notice how everyone is gaga over Tinn n his charm. not saying i don't notice it, but IMHO he is less into PDA. it's the little things, but he doesn't really like touching or being touched. Gun more natural n affectionate (with everyone) n even with Tinn. heck he has puckered up n kissed Tinn more then Tinn has (*°▽°*)... n not faulting Tinn, as it aint easy to be all kissy, cuddly on cue - but notice these small things that take me out of the story, n noticed this less in Moonlight Chicken, but even there he was more reserved then the character Fourth was playing - just an observation....

was worried that the competition was already here (considering we got 4 ep's more to go), was wondering if the "storm" would start after this ep. but thankfully this not the final stage o(*°▽°*)o n very thankful that Gun's mother, not just Tinn showed-up. cause, yes i love both the mains but Gun got a special place in my heart. maybe cause he more vulnerable, n has lead a harder life (in comparison to Tinn's). heck Tinn has been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, his life regardless of what he choses as a profession will be smooth sailing, cause of his parents financial n social statues. that doesn't make him less then... ***************but cause of Gun's family situation, let alone the struggles he has lived through and yet he is happy go luck, always with a smile on his face, ready to help n support, trying his hardest not just for himself but also for his mother, makes me want to root for him that much more. the plus points in this character's personality r countless, that's why he's rising above the rest IMHO, the fact he's easy on the eye's, the cherry on top \(@^0^@)/ ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw the wrist thing with Sound, was that to further a side plot/romance between him n Win?!? idk what to read there, cause Sound such a standoffish character, it could just mean he's finally learning to open-up n rely-on/trust others ¯\_(ツ)_/¯(ノへ￣、) Win for sure doesn't look smitten(¬‿¬) more bromance then romance from what i've seen

as adorable as ever, Gun & Tinn's puppy love might not be official, but it's way better then a ton of established relationship's i've seen in a while. love even more that it aint one sided anymore, there is a ton of give in take, love how heartwarming n mushy each scene with them makes me feel (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) heck my heart skips a beat, cause of their words n actions n there's nothing Xrated or even mildly naughty - this seriously does the heart good *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw idk why it took me a while but "nosy boy" Thiw is Gun & Tinn's fair-godmother & cupid all rolled in one. he always around helping Tinn romance/pursue Gun. everyone should have a good/smart friend like Thiw (❁´◡`❁) ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************n loving the whole group of friends (like mentioned previously) was worried about Sound, but guess he getting paired with Win ╯︿╰ which i don't mind, but also maybe not - as it's not really clear. just very good friends? either way i love the interactions between all the guys so anything will be fine ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************But have to say, didn't like the Yo plot in this ep (didn't think he deserved to get slapped). he did bad, n Nook had every right to walk away angry, block/ghost him. but what he did was wrong n his trying to gaslight Gun, by saying he was depressed cause Gun told him he wasn't good enough. justified him going online to lie to a girl, is OK how? him then getting the OK from the group cause he was depressed( ˘︹˘ ). that was just bad / b.s writing (sorry) i get it was for that song number in front of Nook's house, still meeh so was happy Yak poped-up to burst their bubble - Yo didn't deserve to get rewarded for his behavior ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

feel like i am repeating myself, but these young actors r really good (n yes i can add that the director, writer's etc have a hand in making these newbies shine). BUT have checked out the other BL's/drama's the senior production cast has been a part off, it's not a list i was wowed by(✿◡‿◡) (if u get what i mean (¬‿¬)). ********************************************************************Gemini & Fourth on the other hand (in-spite of being in a few BL's - minor roles) don't have the experience to show the talent they do, unless they geniuses - either way am blown away by both. ****************************************************************not trying to throw shade BUT subtly is a foreign word when it comes to most BL's (especially Thai BL's), but both Gemini & Fourth excel in using their facial expression's, to convey complex emotion's - u just have to notice, n what u see is truly award worthy! little wonder i was blown-away by the pair in Moonlight Chicken, they both shine - they got star quality. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************so goes without saying that am really enjoying this, loving every min. love their budding romance(´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) that's giving me life. evoking a multitude of positive emotion's, wont say that i aint worried (as i know it's never smooth sailing for any couple). so worried, they so wholesome n pure i worry they will suffer or part for even a sec{{{(>_<)}}}. love this!

wondering why Bad Buddy keeps being hinted at, heck in the previous ep Thiw mentioned it n his real life name, then we get the sleeping scene which is identical to Pran & Pat's pose, this ep we get the facial cleaning scene - curious... ************************************************************************************************************************************************************but loving this so so much. this adorable puppy love is giving me butterflies, Gun smiles n it's contagious, cause find myself smiling like a lune (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)just watching him / them. i love that here there is no sexualizing of either actor. have seen enough BL's( ˘︹˘ ) where the age of the actor's doesn't factor n, everything is fair in getting the close-up bare skin shots panning down towards... here the focus is on the relationship, it's so pure n natural - a jaded soul like me is feeling all fluffy n ecstatic, wishing someone would look at me like either of the main's look at each other. but cause this near perfect am worrying as this feels like the calm before the storm - n as was wrong about Sound i wonder whom is gonna break up the perfection that is building between the mains {{{(>_<)}}}
