loved this - was just thinking (watching the start) when would Jun Hee start to change, cause the browbeaten, submissive cowering version isn't enjoyable - it's almost like she has been broken and what was even more disturbing she kept and keeps taking those lies as truths and blaming herself - the self flagellation is the worse, cause then what will help u understand that u r not the one at fault, that u deserve better and grow from there... so it was worrying to watch and depressing cause i needed her to get stronger ASAP lol i know that isn't how this is gonna work - so her literally waking up in a magical place was soothing and reassuring as this is totally what she needs, a break from reality. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************love these type's of places that exist in the real world and yet they r mystical and magical - like a much needed oasis for the soul. the granny running that haven, is a total angle - sad to know the reality behind that, but i guess only a suffering soul can recognize another - let alone offer the balm that gives relief. so yup Loved this. this is exactly what Jun Hee needs - heck after the 1st ep and the start of this one, this is what i needed ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - i can't wait for Haruki downfall and i hope when he tries to crawl back groveling, Jun Hee is in a better place and doesn't help him.

talk emotional roller coaster - reading the description knew i was in for a ride, but come on why she have to be this subservient? i get u act stupid when ur in-love. but she knew in her heart and her head that Haruki had Moved On and yet she wasn't facing it, why? even all her interview speeches were to placate him and massage his ego - in the hopes of keeping him from abandoning her? and of course he the typical narcissist everything was her fault, he was the poor abused partner that was suffering in their relationship. but watching this ep, it's clear he used her from the start. like he used that band to shine and now that they r - he doesn't like sharing the spotlight - so this is his go..if she had even an ounce of self-worth left, she would've done more then bow and take all the crap he heaped on top of her head, she for sure wouldn't cover from Megumi, who didn't even consider her as anything, as she openly cheated on her with her man. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this wasn't a fun watch, ironically yesterday dropped Double Fantasy cause of the FL and how she was treating her subservient husband, while blaming him of all her shortcomings - that really was detestable and i couldn't stomach more of that drama, even though it was short. here lets hope we over the rough part and she start rebuilding that spine - cause she needs to stand-up for herself and not let people walk all over her, like this. that's why i'm worried that the ML is already introduced - i don't like people jumping from one 'ship' into another. u need to breath, be alone and heal - idk just hope each ep aint this draining emotionally

having a really hard time agreeing with others, that this is getting better - it isn't only that the plot is all over the place - the acting is so so and connecting the dots is just tiresome. wont say i'm bored, but really wish things would get clearer. Luke and Calix still butting heads - heck Calix and his crew robbing Luke and at every turn, butting heads with his group - even the girls and idk what this is supposed to mean, other then a free-for-all. and Luke's random "put down" that seemed more of a complement that "Calix's package was huge", so confused. as confused seeing Luke eyeing Juanmig's cousin Kristoff, of all people - like what was that all about. feels like i'm back a square one - not knowing who is indented for whom. even though Cairo eyeing Juanmig when he was walking along the beach with his cousin means he finally noticed him - but have to say nothing certain here. 7 more to go and i really hope everything starts getting clearer. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** btw why character's here bossing their friends around like they their servant's?!? like Luke's ex and her gf. like WTF is that all about and why even be friends with a person like her? let alone the whole Calix family plot line, that mother is really getting under my skin - wish they would just focus on the couples and not all this side fluff that is just unnecessary. IMHO

some thing's have been cleared up like Juanmig working in the resort owned by his mother (parent's?!? hasn't mentioned a father so idk) and his befriending Cairo was a very "smooth" move, even though i didn't think that is how things would go down - cause they seem like normal straight guys, just making new friends and not potential anything. Cairo for sure isn't showing he interested in Juanmig - he got his own "stuff" like his parents wanting him to move to another country and him not wanting to leave his friend's and life in the Philippines. so (and i know this just the 2nd ep) but this plot moving at a snail's pace - hope this starts to take shape and we see some type of development - cause as much as i appreciate the need for back-story. i really don't need to see Calix's mother or brother to get how despicable they r - and seeing the mother being mean to that young girl was just infuriating - the fact that that kid could laugh it off is kinda astounding and just goes to show, that this a daily occurrence. which makes that family life just sad.********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Luke and Calix on the other hand just butting heads - which i find funny. but i guess that could be a hate to love story - even though i was wrong and Luke didn't notice Juanmig - heck he and his group r just itching for a fight with anyone and everyone. why r they so angry?!? considering they seem to be well-off so WTF. so anyone's guess is as good as mine - as to where this plot is really going - cause if to take the poster into consideration, it seems Luke and Calix will be together and so will Juanmig and Cairo - But that's not everything as u see Juanmig and Luke looking at each other. so confused *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw i didn't get why all the girls r around and not cause this a BL - but both Luke and Calix's ex's r there and they not bumped into each other, then why come? well in the cause of Luke's ex, she made sure to find out where he disappeared too. that's why she showed up and she hasn't yet search him out - really? oh well -

the 1st time i came across this on the tube and watched it, was curious but also left confused. as there a TON of character's and u don't really get who is against whom. there r broad strokes - u know there 4 group's. *Luke the volatile, angry dude that starts this off with the argument with his dad, that then proceeds to his heated break-up with this gf on the phone, after he finds out she been cheating on him. and the way the dialogue with her was set-up, was sure (the 1st time around) that he was in-fact speaking with Calix. who is having a parallel convo with his soon to be ex. is she the same woman, cheating one with the other - is that the connection? or is their "ending up" together the reason that was set-up that way - left to be seen.********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Calix unlike Luke is more easy going in-spite of having a pretty rough life, coming from the poorer parts of the city. financing his gambler mother and leech of an older brother - i really didn't get how he could be so cool and laid back, dealing with either of the two. as it seemed a daily thing, them milking him for money - so given both the guy's situations i didn't get where they had time to go on vacay with their clicks - guess just to further the plot. bit of a reach, but let's ignore that for now.*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************in the midst of this, there another group - Cairo and his buddies that r on vacay - no back story there. just a group of guys come for some R and R (i think - as the plot or what u see leaves a lot to the imagination. and the description doesn't help make anything clearer) btw mentioning the description, this is what i found on their official site: HE’S MINE is the story of love and hate and the dangerous lies that happen between two lovers and the fear of losing someone you love most. The story happens in a beautiful beach resort where all the characters meet. This the story of relationships between families of different walks of life, between friends, between lovers as well as between enemies. - like i said this Doesn't help u get what's what and who it's about or what is gonna go down. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but in this ep there is the 4th "group" or rather family (and i aint sure if they own the resort, or just vacationing) but we have Juanmig, the long curly-haird Adonis (he really is a beauty) and the sec Cairo sees him - he smitten. not that i fault him. but considering the preview, i have a feeling this a weird triangle or rather a "A love cube" as he manages to even make Luke take a second look - so idk how this gonna get developed - how many couples there will be in the end(?) and what is gonna happen. so off to view the next ep - that i hope will offer more answers, then questions...

will start off with Thanks - glad this isn't the last of this couple's plot - cause they the bomb - love how funny and quirky Yu Ra is. yeah she prudish but can't fault her. her upbringing, society's norms, etc comes into play - if anything her "bff" is an oddity, that's rushing headlong into a sexual relationship with a guy that admits, he jumps from one girl to the next, sowing his wild oats - personally don't think that makes him genuine, or that good( if he is candid with the girls and they looking for similar experience's - then great). but he's selling the romance dream. and maybe there r people that can fall in and out of love in the blink of an eye. personally don't by it - maybe he doesn't know/get the difference between mental and physical attraction?!? -****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** cause i doubt he cared about Yu Ra, he was attracted to her and that's why he had no problem dumping her the sec she wouldn't "put out" - that aint love. but he didn't try anything with Yu Ra - as i though he would, which i guess mean's he aint all bad. his advise even was (in a round about way) logical. it for sure pushed Yu Ra to act upon her feelings. but as she doesn't know what Nam Ho is thinking/feeling or what they got, she is running scared figuratively and literally.

this is the plotline that brought me here - so knew in broad-strokes that her ex was dating her bff. but the fact that he broke up with her, cause she wouldn't "put out", now that came as news. considering that fact, i for sure wouldn't be as proud as her bff is, to go around announcing they together ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what does that say about her?!? if i was Yu Ra i would have a field day, demolishing both the ex and that "bff". as neither r worthy off all this trouble she is going through. but then, no story and for sure she wouldn't notice Nam Ho - which btw "hello!?!? like how does one, not notice HIM (¬‿¬)(¬_¬ )******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but loving them both - u can see they almost like sibling's - very comfortable with each other, let alone the constant bickering - so kinda get that he got "slotted" into the brother role, and only now that this situation pushed them (her) into noticing that - nope - they not related and he Hot - she doesn't know what to do - which is cute and fun to watch. just hope this doesn't follow the previous plot, where i Loved the 1st ep but the conclusion of the story left me annoyed - this was hilarious and fun. so hope the next ep/part, keeps the momentum going and ends with a bang. btw the ex is gross and he still hot for Yu Ra, but he a horny goat and just cause he couldn't "get" any from her, he chose to hurt her. but after that kiss - wont be shocked if he tried his luck ... hope she awoken to the truth that even though he her 1st love he aint worth taking back

logical, positive, realistic open ending - Karl apologizes and even confessed (to everyone lol - well to the people that mattered) and Vlad distanced himself enough to understand where Karl was coming from and that he needed time - so his looking for him at the end, indicated that even though he didn't want a relationship that was a secret. he wasn't ready to cut him out of his life - considering the controversy i mentioning from the start of this (in my reviews) idk when and if there is gonna be a 2nd season, this was a great drama - it was about being gay and self acceptance, not only falling in-love or finding romance. shame it has been tainted by the same person who wrote it - left to be seen what will come of this. i hope there will be a second season as this is really bigger then one person....

if the first time around i was angry at Judith, this time i was infuriated by her actions - she keeps going on and on about being an "ally" like plz, she a nosey ass biatch that doesn't have a life of her own. so she keeps poking her nose in everyone elses. and OF COURSE she knows best - who told her to butt in?!? her brother?!? cause he a baby that needs shielding from the world?!? until when?!? well she did one heck of a job this time. ironic that at the end he came to cry in her arms - her good intention's shoved Karl back into the closet and nailed that door shut, if that's not enough it sent her brother straight to hell - the one causing his pain is his dear overbearing buffoon of a sister.****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** if that was me, i would tell her to her face that i don't owe her an explanation, and she can fuck the well off - she was asked to dinner and this is how she repays an act of courtesy?!? i would show that bitch the door. but Karl is too timid and straightforward. he is in a different place and his Uncle was right about him. how long has he even been comfortable with his feeling towards Vlad, that she forcing him out of the closet and demanding to know what his intentions r? that was a moronic move and she should've listened to Anna. instead of telling her to shut-up. if i was Anna i would tell her to STFU, but there is no stopping someone with her personality and the one to suffer is Vlad - again ironic that he turned to her for comfort. ugh insufferable bulldozer!******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************i also get that cause of his past experience's Vlad couldn't understand/remember what Karl's Uncle was saying, let alone the fact that Karl's reaction was cause he got cornered by that buffoon of a sister. he just thinks Karl is another man that wont stand-by-him, so he just disregarded the panic attack Karl was having... sad - this could've gone so much better without all the "good intentions".

that ending made me sigh with happiness... they r so comfortable in their own skin, together and apart - really great job by both actor's. even the 1st time around i was impressed by how this drama take's how a BL and a gay couple should be portrayed to another level (and mainly talking Thai BL, which i was watching in abundance at the time). ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** the fact that the out n proud gay character didn't get his unsure crush blind-drunk, only for him to "wake-up gay and lovin it" is a breath of fresh air - but also seeing both actors so comfortable being affectionate not only kissing , but touching - acting like a normal couple would, towards each other - there was no secondhand embarrassment (as one wasn't making a face like he was forced into the situation, thus turned into stone) here it felt natural and didn't take u out of the scene - this is really well done... Bravo!******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************each of their side stories was pretty bleak and makes one wonder how much they r using the other to escape - but i guess that's what relationship r, not only finding someone who will accept u, but also shield u and support u - turn into a safe haven that u were lacking in life. even the "Ally" Judit was far from perfect - that head-strong personality can and did railroad Vlad. that's also why this time she stepped aside and told him to go, and they would deal afterwards with the fall-out. that was a better apology then the verbal one she kinda half-assed

donno what was cuter Vlad falling for Karl or Karl for Vlad, but the end panic - was a logical conclusion to the whole scene - Karl aint out and he might have been ok, saying "yeah i can fall for a guy like Vlad, cause..." giving that list to Anna, making Vlad blush and almost burst from joy. but saying something and actually living it r 2 different thing - the light's coming on at that moment, we very symbolic - like living in the dark = closet, as opposed to coming out = the electracy returning. think both of them needed that wake-up call for different reasons -****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Vlad even though he vowed that he would never "be" with a straight guy, has fallen in the blink of an eye - escapism? Karl on the other hand hasn't even realized that his friendship and roommate offer had an deeper effect on him - that he wants more with Vlad. so they both needed this wake-up call to reassess their situation - and come to a coherent decision. i.e decide that this is what they want and go forward by choice - as opposed to falling into it ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** btw Anna's ghost story and the "body" Karl's kid pic falling out of the cupboard was very weird and makes me want to know what it symbolizes (as enough time has passed that i forgot, (a dead brother that he took his place?!?) if there was a story behind that pic - remember Vlad's father abandoning him and that's why he doesn't like being patted on the head - cause that's the last thing his father did before leaving) hmmmm...

Vlad is such a contradictory personality, he wants to be alone and yet not - but i kinda get it. what i did like was now he was drunk-ish texting Karl and not his ex. progress or exchanging one "drug" for another. as he just got explaining why he would never start anything with Karl, cause he doesn't want to be "...a plot device that trigger's somebody else identity crisis..." sadly his friend Sues is right "Law of Proximity" especially when u r attracted to the other person, u've living with - what with the "looks" from the start of this, being exchanged between Vlad and Karl obvious something will "grow" feel's wise, let alone attraction wise. he for sure wouldn't get jealous when seeing Karl hanging out with Anna. but all in all a very sweet and yet sad ep -
Was this review helpful to you?
always in drama to completely opposite personalities end up together and i get the "opposite attract" in theory but in reality in the long run that takes a lot of work too work. so i don't see the mains staying together cause Vlad is a slob who will always revert to being a slob and Karl is a bit OCD and with that it just get's worse with age u don't lighten up and say lets enjoy being messy. so yeah this is great to watch BUT as being a bit OCD myself, would murder anyone like Vlad, if i was rooming with them - as a neat freak, the clothes everywhere, the dirty dishes, etc... and OMO the worst offence, if i woke up like Karl - when i didn't have to, cause of someone else alarm and saw that mess - i would take that plushie-whale and smoother the fool, end of drama XD ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw Vlad go to contacting and trying to room with his ex is an indicator that he not over that mess and is ready to slip back into that destructive relationship. not a great indicator he ready or should be in a new relationship. he needs a breather to be by himself and grow - mend and then look for love IMHO

ironic words or what, to end this ep with - keeps making me wonder WTF went on with the writer, that he can on one hand write some deep moving shit and on the other, act like a total unscrupulous animal. guess that's the consequence off all ur blood leaving ur brain - he created this wonderful drama (plot wise) and he has shattered it's perfection. cause i can't stop thinking about "it" or about how everything get's an ironic twist - cause of his actionsplot wise great and still funny, as the first time around - liked the "pay it forward" twist making Karl open him house to Vlad. and their connection to movies, furthering their house-share option. also like how the straight guy is portraying the out and proud gay - while the one out and proud, is playing the closeted gay that is unsure and a bit phobic. shows how hard both actors worked, to give us this perfect representation of their character's

this was my first Pino BL and rewatching it after almost a yr its still sweet and fun. but considering the controversy - hard to ignore the name of the perpetrator, highlighted at every turn. everything light and sweet is cast by this darker shadow that makes u (me) keep wondering, what was going on behind scenes. how much until this point did Paolo and other's put up with, just to keep working on this project. makes me sad...but putting that aside (as much as i can) this 1st ep was a great intro into the main character's - but like the first time around the sec Judit come's in, she steals the spotlight - she's a freakin bulldozer and kinda love and hate it - love how strong willed she is, but would hate for this kind of person to have any power in my life, cause it would turn into a constant battle - very tiring
