what i don't get is, don't they have psychiatric test before enabling people to join the police force or in china that not the case?!? cause if Xia Mu has a blood related PTSD trauma or whatever it is - he is suffering from. how can he serve let alone function in major crimes(?) where "blood" is their bread and butter?!?and i get the psychiatrist he is seeing is a private one, so there no info for the cops to find, when doing a background check and yet Shen Yu's hacker found all that out in a sec. donno if i'm impressed or find it absurd. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the plus point liking that Xiao Bing towards the end of the end suddenly did a 180 and offered Xia Mu partnership. that was a nice thing to see. as until now they didn't trust each other and it seemed that they were constantly butting heads. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw watching everything go down with Shen Yu and that kid, i don't think she a psycho per-say - maybe just miss guided, and compassion was the motivator in her always covering up for him or making him confront his abusive father. but as she a freakin psychiatrist, she should've know better about how fragile his psychic was and known that sooner or later he would break. so she pretty incompetent - and her father sending her that fridge magnet for her B-Day kinda proves he is the serial killer. so what she gonna prove otherwise?!? this contradicts what's written in the description - no?

so what we supposed to "get" that Shen Yu is a bit of a psycho, cause her father might be? cause most people don't go getting background checks on people that confront them. that was weird, but also explains how some random hacker found the "victim" that was abusing animals. but then why forward that info to her patient, that was vulnerable mentally - unless she wanted him to "break" and do what he did. she knowledgeable enough to know what would happen in that situation, given her consulting that kid. so either way she not a "good guy" ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************and have to say considering Xia Mu a newbie that's always one step ahead of veterans, in that department/unit why he forget to charge his phone? let alone drop his medication on the street - like talk rookie move.

still not hooked - maybe cause to me this is progressing at a slow pace - wont say snail paced as this has moved along and this is still setting the stage for all the main's (heck the female lead aint even hinted at - and she apart of this triangle). so if this keeps going, i might get bored - as is kept zoning in and out of whatever was going on, and yet didn't miss a thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not a great indicator - so here's hoping this picks up pace

wont say i'm hooked - heck even agree with commenter's that aint happy campers, about how this ep was played out - but used to tons of plot holes at the start of some drama's just to get the story started. sometimes it's just to idiotic to keep going (like a drama i wont mention) here in-spite of the "glitches" this wasn't that bad, and there were also good points and the most important part - i wanna know what comes next - so hope this gets better as this progresses ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - child actor was really good, pity wont see more of him.

well lets hope that preview means, next ep we Finally get Kiyoi's POV. cause what we got, just makes me wanna hurt the dude, after i finish with Hira. guess will never get the "submissive personality" - as in what is enjoyable in offering to be someone doormat. ******************************************************************************************************************************feel so bad for Koyama - dude shot himself in the foot on his B-Day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but like i wrote in the previous ep - he too sweet, kind and normal for Hira to "notice" him, so he will only ever be a friend. he will never be more to a person like Hira - Kiyoi who's whole attitude screamed jealously - has Nothing to worry about - ironic or what.

maybe as i AINT into S&M i can't go... "oh how sweet, lovely, magical... etc" cause i didn't see any of the above. both the leads r doing my head in - and seriously the "machinegun" being added in so the only power an introvert has, to stand-up for himself is by turning psychotic?!? **************************************************************************************************************this for sure is bring out the mean side of me - cause i cheered when Kiyoi lost, same when he called Hira disgusting for confessing his love, pushing him to the ground - the only funny bit was Hira admitting to using Kiyoi photo as wank material. the rest just upped my blood pressure level. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the kiss in the end, like the kiss on the hand were hollow imitations of anything resembling love. these two r messed-up and i doubt they can have healthy relationship's - let alone they bad for each other - and bring out only destructive tendencies. so seeing them back together in the previews doesn't make me happy. yeah i know they destined to end up together - cause that's how it's written - doesn't make it ok - right! ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************and anyone thinking his new friend will divert this train wreck from happening, is deluding themselves - cause if the person aint stepping all over him Hira, he doesn't know they exist.

OMO it took me so long to finish this ep - i kept stopping cause it was just - and yeah that group of boys, that r following Kiyoi around and bullying Hira, r utter moron's. but the one that is driving me bonker's is Hira - someone in the previous ep's comment wrote "he a masochists", must be the case cause this dude is asking "how high" even before anyone ordering him to jump and it's just making me see red. i can't get this type of mentality, so adding insult to injury his always apologizing and explain himself, isn't helping matter's. he can justify it however he wants - it's really not comprehensible to me, this type of doormat mentality - if anything this is a recipe for disaster, cause he the type of person that attracts abusers and user's - nothing healthy comes out of this in reality - so this is doing my head in **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Kiyoi on the other hand a total douche and a tease to boot - he might not be ready to come out and admit he into men or Hira , but he see's how Hira looks at him, and he is enjoying the "hero worship" and he keeps pushing it, getting closer to Hira just to see his reaction, and what he then just to seem like he not aware, say "gross" - getting annoyed at the MOFO. said this before, no matter how beautiful - drop dead gorgeous someone is, the sec their personality is sh*t - the shine of their beauty starts to diminish and disappears in the blink of an eye, leaving the ugly truth of who they really r as a person - so don't get why Hira not waking up from this daydream

that ending made me wanna stand-up and applaud - Mick is someone i can root for. the subs leave a lot to be desired, as everything becomes a guessing game. but from what i got Mick, finally had enough of waiting around for Nut and left - about bleedin time - even Sa knows he infatuated with Nut. and i know it's hard to be around a person u love - waiting they notice u and give u a chance. but sadly that never happens, cause the other side either never notices and only sees u as a bff or they like the ego massage they r getting for free. cause i doubt (especially with the previous ep, where Mick mentioned them getting married) he hasn't dropped a ton on hints, that Nut chose to ignore or laugh off as a joke. so yeah this blow-up was a long time coming. heck even if the heart wasn't involved i would get pissed that only two people in that group r carrying the work-load, while the other two keep going off on "work"-dates ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i would go mental on both their asses - ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Guy not becoming any more likeable, his quiet moment's r just infuriating. but it's not that when he speaks i like him any better. plus he hella manipulative - hard to like or trust so idk why Nut is so flustered around him. even attraction can make u so "blind", him brining him to that pub where everyone including Guy ignored him - that a nice feeling that he waited for Guy to say goodbye and drive him home? really? guess i donno what romance is - if what these two have is the definition of romance

idk why - maybe cause of the poster where Guy looks like the pervy - teacher/senior invading the uncomfortable juniors/students personal space (cause Nut look's hella uncomfortable) i've taken an instant dislike to him. so his attitude, getting touchy feely with a person u just met, let alone the constant flirtation is a turn-off. and i really don't get why everyone acting like he hot - IMHO he NOT. add to this the fact that this whole ep was "off" plot wise, the sub's aint accurate, or the fact that everyone a newbie - all this just emphasizes how "off" this whole ep felt. and cause of that, it keeps taking me out of the plot and keep wondering if i aint reading everything wrong. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Nut is sweet but i didn't like the "in ur face" sex scene at the start i guess as this progresses we will "get" why it started off with that, let alone how jaded Nut seemed after the fact. makes me wonder who the dude was - was this his life - as in, random hook-up's? or was that the future and him after a hook-up with Guy?!? left to be seen. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the group of friends is cute - but until Mark came to pick-up Sa i was SURE that Mick and Sa were an item. and then Mick more or less tells Nut that he waiting for him to "pop the question... joke" but anyone with eyes can see the dude in love with Nut. just Nut has friend-zoned him, so he rather be "friends" and close to him, then confess - get rejected and lose that closeness... that's why he seems jealous of how Guy is "circling" Nut. will have to see more to know if i'm right or wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

am really disliking Takuma, when he finally came in search of Reiji, got down on his knees to apologize and Reiji told him he doesn't have too, as he isn't at fault - how much would it cost him to say the same to Reiji?!? he couldn't find those words in his heart - really? he went on about the music he makes and wanting to cherish that - seriously infuriating. get it comes from insecurity and wanting to keep it on the platonic level, but they been friends for how long?!? why is loving someone a crime - he didn't force his love on him, or even on that despicable Yusuke (who knew full well he didn't have Reiji's heart and never would, but still latched on in the hope's... he at fault for his own delusions. Reiji for sure didn't feed them plz) ugh that was just annoying to watch. plus - hug a person - and i guess Japanese people don't hug - or some such, but this cold distant attitude when a person is hurting, is something i can't get. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw i think that Komori's got spies working for Etsuko, how he always know where everyone in Indigo AREA at - all the time he got tons of info about them. also the fact that Etsuko's boss knows who is got it in for the group and yet has done nothing to safe guard them, is just mindboggling. then what is the point of signing with him?!? even Etsuko not doing that good of a job really caring for that group. but i guess her job is to make money off of them, not be mother and caregiver - little wonder they ended up in this situation. i think they should break-up. they need to heal - the band or music will come when they have healed and ready to start a new...

thank god for the preview's - considering how things where looking, i was gonna lose it. get everyone self-centered when it comes down to it. but seriously everyone talking the talk, but not actually doing a thing. Reiji is in the middle of a storm and the people closet to him, abandoned him. Takuma that isn't faulting him, hasn't bothered to contact the main person and tell him that, he going to talk to Etsuko¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . and when Reiji comes in search of him to apologize OMO this dude tells him, he has to ask forgiveness of Yusuke - really?!? u don't know what when on between them, don't get involved - talk about what involves u - tell Reiji that even though u can't love him back the way he want's, u still care for him - that he is important to u (that too much to ask?!?) be a friend, support him in his time of need instead of turning around and f*cking off, like WTF! *************************************************************************************************************************same with Jun Hee - she spent the whole day in a haze, or surfing the message boards, like come on. she was in the eye of the storm not long ago and is in hiding, can't she find compassion for her friends?!? and considering that band together over a decade, they more family - but she got time to help strangers? this was a Very frustrating ep... everyone rather talk then actually do something to show their words have worth. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************same with Tsugumi, she moved into that place as house keeper and isn't working or trying to settle things with her husband - this solve what? i get that place is more safe-house and shelter that some spend their whole lives in. but neither Ren nor Jun Hee r Granny - they not old, having lived most of their lives just waiting for death. let alone her husband already tried to abduct her son - what happens next time? like i wrote - frustrating!

OMO what an ep, seriously think everyone from Indigo AREA should come hide-out in the guest house. and Hino, like WTF not enough he almost damaged Reiji's hand and made it hard to use for who knows how long, he still so vengeful he had to sell their story to the press?!? feel so bad for Reiji he was outted to Takuma and considering Takuma's reaction, little wonder it broke him - watching that broke my heart. hope after the initial shock Takuma will reassure him that they still "good". **************************************************************************************************************************************but that takes the focus off Jun Hee - sad irony in that. but was getting really annoyed at the lot of them - they keep acting like they care, but every word out of their mouth, screamed self-serving b.s - and i get it, it's their livelihood so they can't just let Jun Hee be / heal / take her time, cause the clock is ticking and they already lost the contract. but they still in the public eye and the sooner they make a comeback, the better chances they got of recovering - and yet considering how damaged Jun Hee is (she thinks she doesn't have the right to cry¯\_(ツ)_/¯ like WTAF) i don't think she will ever be ready - even her living in that guest house is pure escapism, like her wanting to keep it running and invite more wounded souls - it's a diversion. cause she not dealing with her own problems, just pushing them to the side and focusing on others. that won't solve a thing, the sec she back in the lime light everything will be the same. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************as much as i dislike Haruki, that moron should rethink who he has aligned himself with - a person who is willing to destroy others to "make" him - what happens the sec Haruki strays out of line? but he a moron so maybe it's just desserts (¬_¬ ) bottom line don't really care for him

first off why oh why they have to reshow that concert, as if i didn't cringe enough to last a life time in the previous ep, i really couldn't rewatch it this time around. and glad someone voiced that forcing Jun Hee was the cause of that mess - cause lets face it, the other 3 member's of that group and their manager browbeat and manipulated her emotionally, into agreeing to the concert. when she wasn't ready in any way shape or form. but sadly she is also to blame - by bowing her head and enabling it.what i kinda don't get - she is the band - like it or not, she makes that band unique, she is the star and that was the main reason Haruki couldn't keep being a part of Indigo AREA, cause the focus would never been on him and him alone, and even if his vocals r good they not on par with Jun Hee's talent. so the fact that she keeps bowing her head and asking permission form everyone else, in that band is mindboggling, confusing and infuriating - but also saddening as it shows how broken she is mentally - so we need backstory ASAP. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw the member's in that bad r a mess - Reiji and his relationship, like talk bonkers. that not healthy and little wonder Yusuke went a little postal on Reiji's ass. that's a long tine coming - ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************and really hate the dude managing Haruki, he supposed to make Haruki a success - but he more interested in demolishing Indigo AREA, like why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i don't get the logic behind his actions. aish this a emotional roller coaster

that end was so predictable, even though who the frack is Ji-Woo?!? but back track to before, like i knew would happen - the sec she made it back, she was basically browbeaten, pushed and prodded into agreeing to keep that band alive. know everyone is in it for themselves, but the bottom line was that they didn't really care for her, just the music she could produce and the position and fame it had gotten them. so they used all the tricks in the book, to makes her agree without actually holding a gun to her head. so the out come aint astounding - she wasn't ready to face her reality, that's why even after Ren got her a phone, she didn't contact anyone - cause she knew she couldn't deal. the outcome is sad *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Takuma confessing to her - came at a wrong time cause now it feels like manipulation - even though pretty sure he been holding a candle for her since they met. but choosing this moment even if it was cause he didn't want to keep the secret and wanted to come clean so she would know. at this particular moment it's just pure manipulation. same with Mitsuru announcing he gonna be a father - like plz ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw Reiji not gay(?) and is really just roommates with a dude that for sure wants more with him?!? WTH is going on here - and feel like Reiji for sure into Takuma. but after this ep there more questions then answers.

another great ep, but i aint happy with the ending. i don't feel she is ready to go back to her old life - she aint strong enough even though i guess her standing up for her coworker was supposed to show us that she is - that aint the same, that is for sure growth in the direction, she should be taking - but it's baby steps. considering how everyone has railroaded her into situations and she has just been drifting with the flow - see where it has landed her emotionally and mentally, she not ready to go back. cause she will again be browbeaten by everyone's wants and needs - so what little headway she started making will be for not, Aish it's hurting my heart. **********************************************************************************************************but loved her relationship with the single mother. loved that scene, it was bitter sweet and i cried at how touching and supportive it was. Jun Hee more then anyone needs to see how other woman live and deal with life's hardships, cause until now she has be shoved into a box where she can't raise her head - everyone expectation's have blinded her to what is good and right let alone, who she is. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also seeing her group there is so much going on like is (has always been) Takuma in-love with Jun Hee? and considering Reiji is gay is he interested in Takuma and Mitsuru in him?!? whats for sure they all used Jun Hee but didn't really treat her as anything but an ends to a mean - same with Etsuko their manager. let alone Haruki the douche.. that's why i don't think Jun Hee is ready to stand up to them and demanded respect. what's for sure loving how complex this is turning out to be - can't wait for more
