call B.S on this whole ep's "conclusions", it's a bad farce! Yuki has apologized how many times now and why? for tossing out some old clothes that were never important to anyone, but that backboneless moron Ying Ze?!??? cause he can't face the fact that he threw a tantrum, cause everything got too much for him - so instead to telling Yuki "i freaked cause, i'm scared and everything is happening to fast..." he blamed it on Yuki and made him apologize idk how many times - going so far as to make him ask to be taken back?!? like r u serious.. and i'm supposed to be happy that they back together(?) and not see this as doomed relationship, that means that at the first sign of trouble Ying Ze gonna call it quits, cause it's to much work other wise?!? plz plz plz OMG at the stupidity. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************if that wasn't enough who happy at that ending. Ze Shou's father was happy that his son had come back to him tail between legs, all apologetic and subservient. as he already knew Li Gong was out of the picture, his plans for his son was back on track. until his son comes with his "i'm gonna go find myself" idea, giving up a lucrative, respectable job and then his father suddenly finds a conscience?!? now it's fine if his son is gay?!? as long as he keeps a respectable job and stays put??? would say more about Li Gong - but that was plain stupid and i really don't even care to address his reasons for the break-up - needless to say this plot going from bad to worse ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - never liked Nikita she been a b*tch from the start, bitter and moody without justification. so her venting on Ze Shou cause he has Li Gong heart, was funny to watch. as she just keeps proving what a petty character she is

would say i'm left speechless, but that would be a lie. this for sure has been one WTF moment after another. will start easy, didn't want or like Yuki being the first one to make a move. didn't like the dude from the start, but he has been genuine in his affection and relation with Ying Ze. even if a bit misguided he was trying to do good for the one he loved and it backfired, for reasons he couldn't comprehend - i.e Ying Ze's zero self-worth. so the one that Needed to step up and come hat in hand with a peace offering, let alone apologize was Ying Ze(!), Not Yuki. his saying sorry after the fact - when those old clothes weren't even the real reason for his going mental, is a bad omen for things to come. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************speaking of harbinger's, seeing Li Gong sitting across from Ze Shou's father at the start of the ep, was an indicator we will get the tedious self-sacrificing trope. where one half of the 'ship' gonna demolish the other, all cause they love them so much they gotta break them - literally. so they will move on to something better as they deserve - like talk b.s. makes little to no sense and yet writer's of these moronic drama's, can't help but reuse this idiotic cliche. ****************************************************** and if that wasn't enough, was feeling genuinely sorry for any unsuspecting female that would get Li Gong as her blind date, cause the dude gay and just cause he isn't with Ze Shou doesn't mean women will fill that void - this taking us back centuries and she would be nothing but a beard and i'm seeing red with this stupid plot - but then we get the owner of the bar who i guess also needs a beard(?) as i'm sure she's gay - but what do i know this has left logic at the door, so whatever...

one hell of a turbulent ep - so many complex emotions. Ying Ze is too stuck in his ways and the bad part, he is comfortable as he is. so until now Yuki's existence let alone his moving in, getting near him has already been more of an upheaval then he can take. but he suffered in silence, cause there is a part of him that wants Yuki and what he has to offer, and yet the predominance side of him likes his boring hum-drum life. he is sure that the excitement that exists with and for Yuki, will dwindle down to nothing, like it happened with his wife. and he will end up as before - alone. *******************************************************that's why he doesn't want what is his - his own space to be changed with or without permission, it's like a safety blanket. cause deep down, he is unsure of how capable their relationship is of lasting. this is sad and yet realistic. self-worth can't be taught it has to come from within. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the main pair's conflict thankfully was from an outside source - glad they well grounded as a couple, they had a shaky start but when a problem arose they presented a united front. which indicates this pairing might do better in the long run - i hope. the father's reaction was understandable - cause he was blindsided and yeah we all would want the parents to be all accepting, loving and caring individual's, but they human and thus not perfect - also his reaction other then shock was also an accumulative blow-up with everything else going on in his life (his ex wife dying) etc... so he lashed out - which might not have happened in normal circumstances

well this was a very fluffy ep - full of happy bunnies, rainbows and unicorns or the calm before the storm like i wanna call it. but as a die-hard pessimist i get suspicious of ep's like these... let alone we not a stones throw from the end. which can go either way, considering we got 2 couple's and have to say the writers haven't followed any rules, so idk how to predict what the end will be for either pair. but cute all the same **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also like that Ze Shou is the more domestic of the two, and keeps trying to feed Li Gong - considering how one sided their relationship was until the big confession, it's great to see and makes their ending up together, that much more acceptable to me (as pointed out, until this change i didn't think Ze Shou was worthy of a bighearted person like Li Gong).

everything rosy - too rosy?!? as there still a lot of ep's left. so that indicates trouble? i guess that's one way to liven things up. but i just want this to follow some type of logic (and not that anything was illogical), it just seemed rushed in an illogical sort of way. if this was the last ep, it would be understandable - but it isn't and then i ask, why was this written this way?!? *************it's like a major twist wasn't written in and we jump from the confession, angst, over coming phobias to acceptance in a blink - which is Very illogical and doesn't add to the build up, u need to empathize, connect with and root for ur character's - just me?!? i guess... ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************yeah happy Ze Shou went from" why do u like me" to confessing his love - weird but ok. he doesn't want to lose Li Gong so he over came any and all hang-ups, without the need to think them through? fine. and then we get Ying Ze and Yuki - which was more logical and there was some build up to everything, including the kids part - but what/why the hell was Yuki acting like he homeless?!? like an orphan that had nowhere to go - roaming the streets cause Ying Ze hadn't verbally committed? this plot-point blindsided me and made me wonder if there was another universe, where this was explained and i missed it.******************************************************************************************************************************************************if everything wasn't weird enough with the mains stories, we get Aaron and Hank again (which i lie if i said i heard a word of what they said in the previous ep, just gazing at Aaron lovingly and rolled my eye's at Hank) this time listened and have to say the therapy section was a band-aid that will not fix a thing in the long run - but hey what do i know

ok had to pause just to "ask", WHY didn't Ze Shou help Li Gong?!? idk how Li Gong knew where to find both moronic siblings (unless he got a GPS tracker on Ze Shou) But that isn't important at this moment, or how he turned into Bruce Lee. what is, is WHY Ze Shou turned damsel in distress that needed to hide behind her man?!?*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also was so looking forward to seeing Akihiro Kawai (from See You After Quarantine?) and even his partner (Lance Chiu) but those cop caps obstructed the view of that beautiful face, pity. but at least got to bask in Aaron Lai's beauty (for a few sec's) Hank Wang on the other hand, could take or leave considering wasn't a fan of his character in Be Loved in House: I Do, heck hated that BL . but watched it cause of Aaron, so of course was happy to see him again. short but sweet *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************the side story, like everyone else mentioned has zoomed forward plot-wise. i still don't get why or how, cause Yuki is more in-love with himself then with others. he's pretty transparent that way, so the fact he charming the pants off Ying Ze (literally) suddenly equate to love?!? with a Don Juan like him - really? ok. lets believe it cause that's how it's written. *********************but for one talking about being boring and stuck in his ways, to automatically ask "what r we now" just cause he woke up in the same bed with a guy he become acquainted with a sec ago, is a reach. oh well, at lest they funny (even though i doubt they mean to be)

Ying Ze was the saving grace of this ep - not Ying Ze & Yuki (still find Yuki dochey as a MOFO, dude can't help but flirt - women, men, anything living should pay homage to douche-boy ) but Ying Ze is turning out to be totally sweet and he looks so confused about Yuki's flirting - it's kinda adorable. also thought he was attracted to him, but maybe it was just curiosity (btw Yuki doesn't look half or even quarter Japanese's - just saying). **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the main's (⊙x⊙;) Ze Shou hasn't redeemed himself in my eye's, but his apology brought a tiny fact to my attention. yeah Li Gong hurting, but he has been constantly enabling Ze Shou, anyone else in his situation would find ways to distance themselves, from their unrequited crush. so even though i still think Ze Shou a douche that is milking his relationship with Li Gong. Li Gong is equally at fault for this situation. so it is what it is - as of now happy romance material it aint

reading some of the comments thought i would like/enjoy this ep i didn't. i don't like Ze Shou, as time passes it seems like he is playing with Li Gong, he keeps getting touchy feely with Li Gong but the second Li Gong puts his hand on him, he brushes him off. why?!? why this push and pull? ***************************************************************************************************plus what i like even less, it seems like Li Gong is more or less in the role of spouse, he providing/giving/caring in almost every way for Ze Shou - and other then joke around Ze Shou doesn't have to commit or do anything in return - so nah unless he does something really big to make-up for being a total douche, his funny man act is getting old and he not even seem that good of a friend. ********************************************************************************************************************************personally from what i've seen (and this been going on for over a decade) think Li Gong deserves better. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************Yuki hasn't gotten any more likeable - that whole scene between him and Ying Ze and his daughter was weird - he a weirdo and his stoic, cool guy act is stupid, especially when it's acting aloof that in that scene, it was like WTF is this dude's problem, can't he act normal?!? and that kid is a spoilt brat that hasn't been educated, she not once say "sorry" or "thank u" but sadly this side plot feels like flogging a dead horse. so the plot-hole seem countless and redundant to point out

i for one doubt Ze Shou was that drunk, he didn't remember kissing Li Gong, both times - idk maybe he isn't ready to come out or even understand the reasoning behind his own actions, that's why he acting oblivious the day after. but from my POV he aware of what he is doing, just not ready to acknowledge it. which i get and yet don't like, cause it isn't fair to anyone - let along a good person/friend like Li Gong, who is really the only person he can rely on. ****************************************************so really hope there is some development with them, cause i feel really bad for Li Gong - he is hurting and unable to distance himself from the source of his pain and confusion. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************had a feeling the Bar owner lady was Ying Ze's ex and that's why she disliked his laundromat - but guess not. either way if i was him and i opened my shop to that pile of garbage, i would've called the cops not tried to clean that sh*t myself - he too passive for my liking... *************************************************************************************************************************and Yuki too full of himself, i get there people think he hot, fine different courses for different horses, but when he walking about like he the sh*t, that just rubs me the wrong way and i'm starting to really dislike the douche

read a lot of good reviews for this, so hoping this is good. personally happy to see Shi Cheng Hao (the one playing Fu Li Gong) from HIStory3: Make Our Days Count. he was just a aside character there, but considering how cute he is - hard not to notice. so glad he got a drama of his own. ****************************************************************************************************for a 1st ep this was cute, introducing all the mains and showing other players that will add to the drama. personally not really into the 2nd couples looks (yeah shallow of me ), so their story - can take or leave it. but maybe their acting will be so compelling, will change my mind. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************know it's obvious to the eye, that in this Li Gong is already aware of his feelings for Ze Shou, but considering how Ze Shou reacted to Li Gong's date going smoothly, have a feeling that even he on a subconscious level is "into" Li Gong. and as long as they r together 24/ he doesn't have to face his true feelings. so waiting for that to develop.****************************************************************************************************************************************side note - i DON'T LIKE how Ze Shou treats his sister. i get it's supposed to be cute and funny. but i have a things about hitting in gest - it still freakin hurts and so it aint funny╚(•⌂•)╝

Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Episode 2
1 people found this review helpful
i'm glad Minato keeps putting on the brakes and doesn't get swept up in Shintaro's hormonal haze. which given how attracted he is to him, i get how easy it could be to just give in. but i guess cause of his own experience (which was hinted at in the previous ep's flashback of his high-school-days) he is weary of being in any type of 'ship' where there is a huge age difference. even though wonder is he gonna reject Shintaro in the next ep, cause he knows they don't have a future - cause it didn't turn out differently with his teacher? or cause he still can't get over that teacher and hopes that now that he is of age, he stands a better chance?!? **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw had a bad feeling about Tomoya (the beautiful kid hounding Shintaro) but now have a feeling, he to is gay and finding out Shintaro is gay - he just wants to befriend a like minded individual.

this a frustrating ep - we start of with that "caring" grandmother that is treating Lukchup like he a baby, which some will think is sweet. i think it's overbearing and counterproductive. that moronic curfew, like he freakin cinderella - he a man, NOT a child. her afterwards saying "i aint gonna live long" isn't the point - he an adult that needs to be independent, Not live under her skirt - whether she alive or not, is Not the point! *****************************************************************************************and from there we have another "genius" Ram, get he thinks he smarter then his friends - thus he disregards anything they say. how many times they warn him about Namning? has it penetrated that thick skull? he supposedly smart right - then can't he figure out how it looks, him hanging with her while making cow-eye's at Lukchup? he mad that Lukchup showed up and is with Paitong - double standard much? (ノへ￣、) ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************thank god for Paitong, cause if it was up to the other two morons in that entourage, he would be at Ram's feet the sec he saw him across the room - this "romance" is lacking and that's putting it mildly Aish! btw i don't get why Paitong's older brother would help Namning in any way, shape or form to hurt Lukchup. that whole scene was so weird. but it got weirder as Ram to the "rescue"~(>_<。) only to drag Lukchup and berate him with that whack speech, and if the crap he was spewing wasn't enough Lukchup added to that b.s, by promising eternal submissivity - why?!? o(≧口≦)o **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************WHY couldn't he have a backbone??? WHY not counter with what about u hanging with Namning, who was draped across ur arm the whole time. u came with her and yet u have a problem with me doing likewise with Paitong ugh this freakin frustrating! the level of stupidity is infuriating to watch - Lukchup can't help fall over his own two feet trying to reach/worship/kiss Ram's ass ugh - this far from a fun, healthy love story but what's new in BL-land?!?

Cherry Blossoms After Winter Episode 5

the start shook me,😳 was like "there's no way this not a dream sequence" - but dream sequence or not, that was hot also liked that Tae Sung didn't wait for Hae Bom to remember on his own, but confessed (the perks of this being short) n glad Hae Bom verbalized his thoughts - until now their lack of communicate has only brought them both isolation and loneliness. *******but Tae Sung cornering him was Not the way to go, especially if he cares for him, so glad the mother came in to put a stop to that mess. even though her not talking to her son about that, was a bit weird - the day after she all smiles like nothing happened (the minus of this being short ). like the end where Hae Bom not only rushed to confess, but get's over his fear of hurting Tae Sung's mother. with all due respect to Tae Sung's argument - Hae Bom making such a swift decision in a blink, isn't logical considering who he is (personality wise) and what he owes Tae Sung's mother for taking him in - but we in a rush to cover a lot of ground *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************read someone saying that in BL's guys so fragile the minuscule amount of stress makes them fall ill and they need to be taken care off, by the one pursuing them, but wont get any "sponge" bath's here now is this was Thai... o(≧∀≦)o

well Halleluiah, Jao thawed it's great that in his heart Sky is the "star" but the cold act was getting tedious to watch. so seeing that whole beginning scene come down to him finally showing Sky, he cared and wanted him as much as he was "wanted" felt relieving to watch. all of Sky's hard work paid off finally （；´д｀）thank frack - btw i so didn't except them to be the hotter couple in this ep - talk smokin... felt like i was intruding on their privacy (⓿_⓿) ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************get Toh doesn't want to hurt Kong, cause other then the fact that this is the 1st time in his life (probably) anyone idolizing him. he doesn't want to hurt someone he feels is an "odd duck" like himself. but the sec Kong insulted Som (who was defending him) he should've stopped trying to handle Kong with kid gloves, and made some boundaries VERY clear; like Kong should know better then to try and insult his bff's. and his "fan-boy-ing" should be toned down and not impose on his personal time with friends, family or his freakin bf ( ˘︹˘ ) there is being sweet and considerate and then there is being a pushover. he didn't come off stoopid - so yeah am HAPPY - delighted that Nuea insulted and put Kong in his place. but Toh can stand-up for himself and wish they wouldn't got the tedious way of "i need my man to defend me, cause i'ma fragile flower - as the bottom" idiotic cliché! ********************************************************************************************************************************so kinda happy Toh found out in the next scene (the plus of this coming to an end - no dragging the plot out) and Kong turning into a "bunny boiler" so excepted - kinda hilarious. Toh needs to wake-up "we aint angry" pssh b*tch wakey wakey - stop deluding urself and stop trying to act kind, when u dealing with psycho's. but so ironic the whole group couldn't put that crazy in his place?!? a bit of a let down. even though considering the issue made out of Toh's "dirty secret" i guess we needed to make Kong a non-issue. as the focus would be on the mains. ******************************************************************************ironically i thought that would be the nonissue. but fine and i get both sides, Toh is a realist and a pessimist - it's not that he doubts Nuea or his affections, but he knows nothing last forever - of course he wants it to be the case, but this is just taking precautious in the worse case scenario. it doesn't mean he is planning for the end - *********************************************** so Nuea needing reassurance's that Toh not planning on dumping him. cute and all but a bit of an overreaction considering that wall - like dude someone got a whole wallpapered with images of u and u think they planning for a future with someone better - whom?!? a clone of u pssh plz ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - Intouch just popping up like the whole "scene" with Daisy having a breakdown didn't exist, isn't just weird it's lazy wrapping up sub plots "cause we at the end". same with trying to pair Som with Tor like seriously? DON'T - that a disservice to the character's after the journey we've all been through with them, they for sure deserve better! so if there is no time rather u leave them be. if this gets a sequel give them time - but this rush job looks/feels BAD!

ironically this BL didn't suffer from the 11 ep curse - not in the usual way, where the mains split up. here it was fluff time - i was apprehensive given the info Pat held. but it turned into a nonissue. it was glossed over and "we" were on our way to a honeymoon, quite literally. **********************************************************************************************************get wanting to escape and burry ur heads in the sand, they had been through a lot since childhood so they deserved a little "me" or "us" time, where it was just them - not their parents, no pressure, no lies, anger etc... so get Pat's not wanting to leave and yet they couldn't stay there forever, as they still wanted to lead normal lives - graduate, work in their dream-jobs, etc.. and i guess they didn't want to disown their families in-spite of the upbringing they suffered through cause of lies and false/hurt pride, so they had to come back and confront their parents. to face what was left after the blow-up. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************u can't run away from ur problems, u can take a break from them / ignore them for a while but not forever. that's basically what this ep was - so it was cute, sweet - very fluffy and idk if i would agree with the masses that this the best ep - yeah had a ton of sweet moments, great kiss. but donno it felt hmmm empty to me - that's the only way i can describe the feeling. especially with that end. donno what awaits either and how everything will get wrapped up. but this ep was a bit of a blur to me and that no good (/▽＼) yea i'm weird i guess ◑﹏◐
