I love the discussion that this series brings about and the different opinions. Some BL dramas are just cute (and that's fine) but this show goes beyond that and really makes you think and I love that. I know at this point we shouldn't even call it a BL drama because it's much more than that. I also love that I can see every point of view of how the characters behave and why they chose to act that way. I might not agree with it but I can see where they are coming from. Teh was frustrating me this episode but at the same time I can see that everything around him is changing and he is terrified that he will have the follow his acting dream alone. He really thought he had a support system but when people around him started to go their own way he felt betrayed and alone and acted out. He is very emotional and so he can't see that he still has his support system (his acting friends) and that Oh still loves him and thinks that he will be deserted once people find their own interests. This does make him naive and it doesn't excuse treating people badly but I can see where he is coming from so I love the conflicting feelings I have while watching this series.

2021-06-08 01:50:29 +0000 UTCI completely agree with your analysis of Teh and his acting out, but just because it’s hard for him to accept change and go through the motions of life doesn’t mean he can’t be a jerk. I still think he was being mean. However, just how you said, I used to be like that too, hell, I still am like that sometimes. It’s a natural part of growing up and learning to accept change and adapt.

2021-06-07 14:19:47 +0000 UTCI watched this episode myself first before I watched your reaction because I needed my own point of view on it. I must say that now that I have watched your reaction Javi. I find myself not agreeing with you for the first time. Teh in my opinion was not being a jerk ( i didn't like that you keep calling him that). He's just not as emotionally strong as everyone thinks he is. He may know what his dreams are and where he wants to be but he is very much afraid of any kind of change. He doesn't know how to handle emotional change. We could see it in the way he handled it when he knew he like Oh aew and his change of feeling for Tan. He was also worried about his mom and brother. His love and support are so strong for the people he cares about any kind of change emotionally derail him and he lashes out. I use to be like that too but I'm a lot older and wiser now ( hopefully). I'm now 42 years of age I used to go through the same things and now my own children are going through it so I under everyone in this episode.

2021-06-07 14:13:50 +0000 UTCI just love how you don't just react but impart your knowledge about certain aspects of a show you're reacting. Looking forward to more of your Ted Talks 😊 Regarding this episode, well, I feel like I related so much to Teh in this one. I'm not fully on his side but I used to think like him so I understand. You know, Teh is just the idealist type of person and he has this vivid picture of the future with Oh and everyone around him. But now, that picture started to blur and things aren't going according to his expectations so his struggling to cope up with the changes. I just hope this becomes a wake up call to him so he can be a little bit flexible. It's okay to be idealistic but let's not forget about reality. I also hope he learns to step back when his emotions are heightened to avoid hurting the people around him coz realising you've acted like an a**hole and saying sorry after doesn't change the fact that you hurt them.

2021-06-04 21:39:16 +0000 UTCOh, Javi, let me share a bit long comment about everything that happens because this series is just a roller coaster of emotions. In the first episode, I didn't understand Oh-aew and was on Teh's side. I mean, Oh-aew got accepted into the university he wanted; Tae loves him so much, he even moves to him and sacrifices his sleep to be with him, it seemed, like.. what is wrong here? We could see the same expression on Oh-aew's face throughout the episode, the one when you are unhappy but pull out a smile as if everything is fine. Whether it from loneliness or homesickness, Oh-aew suffered the very feeling when you no longer know what you want. And Teh was just carried headlong into university life; he loves acting and just wholly into it. I knew that Oh-aew felt terrible and that maybe he needed Teh at that point. However, I still can't entirely agree with some of the people who blamed Teh. I saw someone on the internet wrote this, and i totally agree: "I am burning from the inside, but this is not your fault" - the motto with which Oh-aew confidently walked through the first season and entered the second one just like that. But in the second episode, everything changed. The conflict takes on a more mature and meaningful context, where again, you cannot blame someone alone. We do not see Oh-aew's procrastination; we do not see his loneliness and everything that was in the first episode. In the second, he has inspired again, and all suffering falls on Teh. And now, it is just the mirror of the first episode; Teh feels lonely because he is burning with his dream while his surroundings, one after another, rethink the meaning of being. And his understanding of the world is still too small to contain all the prose of this life. After watching the first episode, it seemed to me as if the series had lost momentum, but I changed my mind after the second. The series is still beautiful, all the same conflicts from the first season, only now about growing up and about real life. This series is something; it leaves behind a storm of emotions and tears, makes you experience every moment, every minute and second, every shot and every pause. I'm not sure if you read it until the end😂, but I just wanted to say that recently, due to various circumstances in life, I do not feel any joy and am a bit depressed. But bl series and your reactions bring me happiness and brighten up the gray days😭😂❤️. I am glad to share such emotions with other people; please continue to film reactions; I will wait! Sorry for any mistakes in English, as this is not my native language, but remember that there is a Kyrgyz girl from South Korea who loves and enjoys your content😂😂😂. In general, I am one of those people who did not leave probably even ten comments anywhere in their whole life, but I thought that I should share this with you! 😂
