Paradox Live The Animation Episode 4 Review - BAE Ga Neomu Apeo (BAE Is Really Hurting)

What’s this? The BAE depression episode? Yep, it seems to be that way. Very ‘BAE apeo’ indeed (This is a pun because BAE is their group name. BAE is slang for Baby, but in Korean, it’s a word that can either mean ‘boat’, ‘pear’ or ‘stomach’; the word I used for the pun means stomach. Apeo means ‘hurts/it hurts’ in Korean; Bae apeo means ‘my stomach hurts’ in technicality, but since this group’s name is BAE, I made it so that it means ‘BAE is hurting’—haha, all that time learning Korean in my childhood paid off). Puns aside, I am surprised Bae gets another focus episode this soon when Akan Yatsura has yet to take the main spotlight; I was expecting AKYR to be the focus too.

Also, the way the competition is formatted seems a bit confusing. Despite BAE winning against cozmez and TCW losing against AKYR, BAE and TCW were up against each other. Is this a round robin sort of tournament? If anyone who’s familiar with Paradox Live, please explain this to me.

This episode is about BAE vs TCW, but we don’t hear any songs from them. Instead, it’s Hajun being a shit towards the “enemy”, so Ryu retaliates back by being a shit to him, albeit unconsciously. After this, the rest of the episode gets pretty gloomy as Hajun, Allen and Anne decide to talk about their traumas that trigger their trap reactions in hopes that it will solidify their friendship and help get to know each other even better.

All of their traumas have one thing in common: terrible parents. Allen’s issues stem from his parents grooming him into becoming a prodigal classical musician when he wants to be a hip hop musician. Anne’s issues are due to their mother wanting them to become her perfect prince; this flashback reveals that Anne is biologically male, but sees themselves genderless. Hajun’s issues trace back to his childhood where he was adopted into the Yeon conglomerate as an heir, but when his parents were able to conceive a biological child, they send him away now that they don’t need him anymore. They all have something in common, which is something they’re able to bond over now that they know what bothers them. But still, having controlling parents must be terrible. I’m grateful that my parents are supportive of my dream of being a writer and being a bookworm in general; in fact, despite them being Asian, they were always supportive of the dreams I had for the future when I was younger. All I want is to hug all three BAE members.

I have to say, the bond between Allen and Hajun seems very deep. They met when Hajun decided to shield him from the rain. It makes me wonder if they had been classmates before or something since Hajun was willing to share his umbrella. It seems as if Allen and Hajun met and then they met Anne later on. Allen’s emotional speech really got to me. I can tell he really cares about Hajun. Also, his voice actor’s English is amazing. I’m not sure if Gakuto Kajiwara had lived abroad before, but that English pronunciation is AMAZING. Ayumu Murase’s Korean pronunciation isn’t perfect, but it’s good enough. The way he said “jenjang” (S***) was a bit eh, but when he said “gomawoyo” (thank you), it was a lot better. I guess it all really depends on deliverance because it’s hard to spew out a word you’re not familiar with really fast and in anger too.

Since it was a BAE episode, TCW doesn’t get too much focus. I did feel bad when Hajun called their music expired. Like, I love you Hajun, but please stop being a shit towards the cute family. While getting called dated did rile them up, TCW decides to try their best with the competition because they want to keep the bar afloat.

It sucks that no new songs have been featured in this episode. I do wonder who won in this match up. I guess it’ll be revealed next episode. I believe AKYR will be the stars of next week’s episode as the episode title was shrouded in yellow, which is their color. I can’t wait since I’m super curious about them. What are your thoughts about this episode? And with that, I’ll see myself out for that bad pun.

🍫 "All I'm saying is that I've never been less than content while holding a pack of chocolate. Unfortunately, this box of pocky was the best I could do on the salary Vergilius gives us." -Gregor to Yi Sang

@thebreakfastmuses It's Pocky Day! Send my muse a 🍫 to share a box with them. Or send ❤️ to have our muses play the Pocky Game. -- Still accepting, even though it's not Pocky Day anymore!

It was true, the money that they made in this line of work was unideal. But what would be an ideal salary? Yi Sang reminisced, memory turning to his time as an architect, where he made enough money for a comfortable life-- one not only for himself, but the League. He stared at the single stick of pocky in his hand, which had been given to him by Gregor. Yi Sang could have likely taken more, but he settled on the single stick. "A luxury item, a wafer stick concealed by chocolate, of which myriad varieties exist... Strangely, I find myself gazing at it, Gregor. Sable as the abyss. Yet, this twig has slivers uncovered by the cocoa, and so the wafer is as the stars in the sky."

"The meager confidence in my chest is unable to arrive at the answer as to its ideality. That is all."

it really is a bummer when you see another translation of a work you've enjoyed translated to your language -- as a kid or recently -- and all the stuff that was translated/localized in your language is... kept as it was (usually in english) in that other translation

love that japanese fans have an agreed upon mcq/tc ship name in マカトム but absolutely no consensus on how to write "mcquarrie"/"mcq", names that don't translate very well in kana. meanwhile english fans who do not have that problem are still workshopping like 5 different portmanteau ship names
