DANGEROUS ROMANCE | Ep 3

[priapussdick]

sailom: we will act like english speaking tourists and practice speaking english

kang: *speaks in korean*

sailom: ಠಿ_ಠ

[dwreader]

I gotta say I'm shocked that people are saying Louis doesn't feel anything for Armand. That producer whos not Rolin Jones said Louis is falling in love with Armand while Lestat manfiests to pass judgment on him.

tbh i think there is an ambiguity which i mentioned before in my femme fatale post! femme fatales have historically been maligned for being evil manipulative heartless self-serving women often times bc they are subjugated by a powerful man and use the only power they have to achieve their aims. you can certainly interpret some of them as being completely unemotionally manipulative, they're just not the ones that interest me personally.

i think louis's motivations are complex because the situation demands it. he cannot just let himself fall head over heels in love with armand without caution bc in the previous episode armand nearly killed him and has the power to kill him & claudia at any given moment. in ep2 and for most of ep3, they clearly have a real connection and are falling for each other. like the flirtatious chemistry and lust are leaping off the screen idk i feel like you have to be blind not to recognize it but once we get to the end of ep3... the danger is now intermingled with the love/lust. they can no longer be ignored like when louis was still pretending his maker was bruce and everything was fine & dandy for him and claudia. once armand has that power over him, it makes the relationship murkier and murkier. you can't put the genie back in the bottle and revert to their "wholesome" dating phase. and the more dangerous the relationship is, the more it reminds him of lestat and all the red flags he's seeing again. i dont think its unintentional that dreamstat shows up in the bedroom when armand starts pressuring louis about companionship. cause lestat did the same thing to him in 1x01 when louis also wasn't ready (albeit in a very different way). in the museum, dreamstat shows up when armand is "apologizing" yet at the same time flexing his powers and going vintage lioncourt.

and it parallels the same consent questions btwn lestat and louis in s1 where they had a genuine courtship/romance but when push came to shove, the moment louis was forced to make the choice to actually be with lestat and accept his proposal, it was after a show of brutal violence and murder and lestat literally having killed the only friend louis had in the world. then he spends the rest of s1 wondering about paul as well. love & horror co-exist and the horror was for love. its been a very jessica chastain coded week.

Part 2 of Dangerous Romance ep3 doesn’t have subtitles for me. Anybody else having the same issue?

[llycaons]

ep3 - bulleted for space

hc's mansion is so open and intimidating...no privacy? I get what he says about having a big cold residence without a family but dude you're 800 years old and insanely wealthy. get a pet at the very least

BAI WUXIANG MENTION!!!!! the flashback to books 2/4 look like a nightmare. I can't wait

there's an unintentional threat couched in hc's power. his huge house, his constant presence, his close attentiveness. everything here is under his control. it reminds me of the book 5 scene when they realize all the statues in that cave are of xl. which is really creepy honestly, and fx and mq rightfully freak out and try to get xl away

sure, hc isn't actually dangerous to xl and would literally be tortured to death rather than hurt him, but that level of power paired with obsession is a little freaky

I don't think the donghua captures the chemistry as well ngl

in hindsight the fact that e'ming was forged with a sacrifice of living flesh and has an eye and hc is missing an eye makes it a bit obvious what happened no?

making hc a king just reminds me of all those shitty romance books where a ceo or a prince gets obsessed with the mc 😭 why was mdzs so much better

making e'ming a sweet little puppy dog is like saying that love is the emotion that hc held onto in order to become a calamity. it's a method to tell the read that deep down, hc's not evil or cruel, he's a deeply loving character

but this isn't as successful as when togashi did it with killua or yusuke because...hc often IS callous and cruel, and not just to heavenly officials who actually deserve it

I loved lang ying SO much...I wanted to see him heal and thrive. canon said NOPE! he will be replaced by hc for stupid reasons and then he'll disappear. or something. idr tbh

Watching Dangerous Romance Ep 3:

1. I said this before, but the dynamics between Kang and Sailom do remind me of PeteKao (of Kiss series). Both Kao and Sailom are bright, poor students (albeit, Kao is already in uni when the series started) who tutors other students for money. Pete and Kang are both rich a-holes living with a single father who dotes and pampers them (although in Kang's case, it seems his father is trying too hard to be nice whereas Pete's dad is just awesome). Pete and Kao's relationship also started in animosity (with Pete beating up one of Kao's high school friends) and forced to doing school/uni work together (with fistfights in between). Only time will tell if the similarities will continue.

2. Speaking of Kang's dad, it's like he is trying very hard to overcompesate for something - and Kang knows it too. You can tell by the way his fists balled up and eyes glazed when his father says that he doesn't care if Kang's grades are below average as long as he passes. It's like his father keeps on telling Kang that he has no great expectations from his son but I think Kang hears it as his father not expecting that Kang has the capability to do great things.

3. Oh, another thing that is similar to PeteKao is the way it was pretty much implied that Kao is gay (like the way they are implying Sailom is during the motor bike ride) from the get-go. Pete is bi as he had numerous girlfriends before Kao. Not sure about Kang, but since he seems to have a crush on Pimfah (View), I'd say he is also bi.

4. Then I was hit with no English subtitles for Ep3 (2/4). Seriously, WTF 😭😭😭😭 Will edit this right after I find a way to watch this with subs.

<after 4 hours>

I'm baaack. Forgot I have driving lessons this morning. All good now. Also, thanks to @frostluvrs for the link. However, I choose to watch the episode in BiliBili (cause last time I watched using KissAsian, it brought some computer virus with it 😅😅😅

5. Me when Kang went out to pee in the middle of a very expensive meal: Kang, I swear if you leave Sailom with the bill, I will hunt you down and give you a serious beating. <after 5 seconds> ok, we're good. For a moment, I thought Kang is going to a do a dine and dash just because.

6. Sorry, the whole English "studies" at the bar is hilarious to me. Especially when Kang started speaking Korean lol Also, Kang straight up asking Instagram accounts from strangers is creepy under normal circumstances 😂😂😂

7. Back to Kang's dad. I knew it. The way that Kang's dad dotes on him but not expecting any thing great from Kang is just 😭

8. Mark, you b*tch, there are plenty of places where you can get and pay for s*x. No need to harass an unwilling Sailom.

9. My gods, I also feel poor when the gang gave their birthday presents to Kang 😅

10. That's a sh*tty move, dad, reneging on the deal of buying a motorbike if Kang passes the exams. I know you meant well, but gods, learn to read the signs, man. And you're supposed to be a smart politician. Gods dammit. 🤬

11. Where is grandma in all these mess??? Also, what's with the flashback? Does Sailom have an unrequited crush on Kang ever since they were kids? And why would Kang need to beg grandma to rehire Sailom as his tutor? Ugh.

[vole-mon-amour]

Some of my LIS2 choices. I did my best and mostly went with my gut, even though some walkthroughs did affect my choice. Some choices I didn't even know were available, and some, like Daniel helping Sean with carrying water in ep3, I missed. He offered help, but I didn't ask him to use the power, so he didn't.

Overall, some decisions didn't matter. For example, I didn't tell that abuser next door that we're staying at our Grandparents', but he still called them that later and didn't even flinch, like it was normal. Some decisions, like in s4, still lead to the same outcomes, which really felt like Telltale—absolutely useless and annoying.

Mushroom's death, by the way, was still unnecessary. The way the game forces your hand to do one choice or the other sometimes (why is hetero romance "right" and same sex romance is "bad"? Why does Cassidy see that the heist is hella dangerous and a horrible idea, while Finn gets greedy and goes, "Dude, your brother asked me to, I didn't force him"? Hello? Who's the adult here?)

I would've loved to romance Finn just for the sake of telling him that "I like some boys" and "I like you" and the overall "I find you cute", but fuck, man. You're blaming a nine year old? You see his power and that's your immediate chain of thoughts and actions? Again, no wonder you've been to jail at such a young age already.

Episode 2:

Episode 3:

Episode 4 (i HATE this episode. Such a waste of the players' time and possibilities):

Episode 5:

First and foremost, Arthur and Stanley are the best. Love those dudes. Might be my fav characters here. Go, you old gays. <3

Honestly, not the worst ending, but could've been better. Would've loves to see both brothers in Mexico, protected by a gang or something.

On the other hand, Daniel loved Sean enough to make the way for him, tell him, "don't go back for me" and "hope you're happy in Mexico".

I understand why I got this ending. I tried to teach Daniel not to be a complete asshole, so he refused to hurt any more people; I tried to enjoy my own journey, so we didn't get a brotherly bond up to 100%. I tried to teach him about not talking about his power with the others & that annoyed him. I'd be such a horrible parent/older sibling. Getting annoyed at Daniel, a fictional kid, is bad enough. I'm glad I'm an only child.

Also, fuck Karen. Just because she FINALLY helped her kids doesn't erase her actions. She could've totally use her head and not get married and have kids. It wasn't society, parents or whatever. She made her choice. And to write her a heartfelt letter, "sorry for getting you involved, it's not your problem"? Hello???? She abandoned them? She's their mother, after all (or at least she claims to be)? It's her duty? That's shitty parenting right there. I wish Sean could've told her waaay more in both ep4 and ep5. It's just not realistic the way they actually scripted it.

Overall, I enjoyed this game more than the first one, but I still felt too old for the game? The first 5 hours (so 2 episodes) felts like 20 hours and gave me a horrible headache. I hate first LIS with their problems and parties, and the choices that don't matter, and fucking Chloe that pissed me off sooo much. I gave LIS2 a chance because the brothers reminded me of Sam and Nathan. For a while I imagined them on the road, since they have been on the run as teenagers, too. Then I got used to it, but Daniel was still annoying. I will never love kids, that's for sure.

The way people kind of expect you to sacrifice Arcadia Bay? Lmao, no. Also, I'm glad we didn't have to deal with Captain Spirit nonsense too much. I would still have appreciated if it wasn't there at all, I couldn't even play the demo because of how much the kid annoys me (again, not a fan of kids), but I'm glad it was only for one episode. And I'm glad I could push past the weed, party, booze problems at the very start of the game. That is not my thing at all.

I am glad I am done with the game for now. Maybe I'll go for collectibles later, but I honestly doubt it. They don't even give achievements for different outcomes, which is a shame.

The Devil Judge: Episode 11

I just finished The Devil Judge and something about this show compelled me to take copious notes - it had emotional intensity and layers of mystery. These are long and rambling, so they're likely not of interest to anyone else, but since I spent all that time writing it I decided, why not post it. Perhaps someone will find it interesting.

Below are my moment-to-moment reactions, predictions and analysis as I watched episode 11.

eps 1&2  ep3  ep4  ep5  ep6  ep7  ep8  ep9   ep10  ep11  ep12  ep13  ep14  ep15  ep16

I wrote about my initial impressions, up to episode 5, here and here.

This is cleaned up only slightly. I followed the spelling given in the Viki subtitles. I mostly don't explain what I'm reacting to, so this will probably only make sense if you've seen the episode recently. Occasionally I give timestamps. 

(4:00) theme of hating the loser, the humiliated, continues with the Cha relationship w her son

Seon-Ah's back in black.  Does she feel safer/more hidden in black or white?  though the nails are still red

mirrored surfaces, upside down images

Minister Cha with the bright blue shirt.  I think of that as Yo-Han's color (from the back of his vest in particular)

Cut from the women meeting to an all male space. soon to be invaded by Seon Ah

starts at (8:10) -- a lot in this interaction...  the erotic tension between them.  now that Ga-On and Yo-Han are are the same side he needs someone to have dangerous antogonistic erotic tension.  like, i think there are other reasons, but that was part of it.  

(i feel like in a standard hollywood movie, the hero (or even anti-hero) has the relatively gentle female love interest and the evil psychopath male enemey with who he has unitentioal erotic tension.  here it's flipped, although all tension is intended.) (not sure if this idea about hollywood holds water)

the two of them and each other's necks!

so interesting what our power players are honest about and what they keep secret.  not just here but in general. they're actually honest most of the time, which i wouldn't have expected.  

He's good at faking relaxation and suppressing surprise.  although he probably heard her footsteps.  the way he reacts to the potential dead barber "don't tell me you..."

the headless mannequins standing behind seon ah.

tempts her with his house.  going straight for the adolescent id. and her expression looks so unmasked there.

(11:40) this view heading up the driveway is one we haven't seen before

oh my god, I feel like my adolescent self watching her walk through these halls.

This is the second time we've had someone enter their own memories.  The first was also in this house and study. and featured young Yo-Han on the balcony

she must know that returning her will shake her ability to mask and make her vulnerable again.  Is it the carrot or the stick that convinced her? 

(14:30) Wife! so wife-coded like how could anyone interpret it as anything else?  Like I don't necessariyly think they're fucking at this point. In fact I think they aren't yet. but they're still playing at being married. That is how they flirt.  (governess romance style)

the look she gives Y! disappointed? Was she expecting something to happen with him?  i suppose that's valid given their erotic tension, but its a risky choice.

15:05 So married! that's a newlywed husband looking at his talented bride showing them off before company

like, the show is lampshading the fact that there's no other reason for him to be here other than that they want to live together

(I keep using the “wife” language because it feels like the show is clearly referencing tropes from hetero romance novels.  But i don’t think the show is actually feminizing him at all, despite those references)

(i wonder if we'll see any bedrooms again and if so whose and who will be in them)

and then the insertion of blunt young Elijah in the midst of all this political and erotic tension and claimings. so great!  

Ga-On's smirk at the dating question.  I feel like it's a smug look - no you have no chance to get him, he's mine and he knows it.  it's definitely not an uncomfortable or jealous smile.  

I mean, I know they're conspiring.  but those are the looks between a married couple, not co-conspirators. (16:07)

oh and he's loudly telling her he's Yo-Han's wife.  (feeding "their child"!) i don't think its to get her to back off sexually, i don't think he sees her as a threat that way.  i think it's to say, we are in this together, we are solid, you can't divide us with petty political maneuvering.  whether that is actually true remains to be seen, but i think that's what he's saying

and she acknowledges their marriage "he looks like he's always been here" "you won't be lonely anymore" !!

plus other subtext.  she looks genuine here, although i suspect she intends it to be performance

housekeeper reveal.  their faces! but seon ah's especially

"you're smart, relentless, and as broken as I am." (y to s)

"I was thinking it would be fun to play with you.  you suggested it first. you told me to go to the top of the world. with you." I don't know what this refers to yet

speaking of marriage imagery.  (but it somehow highlights rather than contradicts y and g's coupleness) He gives up the cross pendant! the games are getting serious. they both think yo han is winning now. 

their neck thing!

"Smile, you fit pretty well in this house."

i also like this move to the plastic covered room that echoes the false house she built to kidnap him)

wait. Was that actually a marriage proposal? would korean speakers have gotten that? I’m confused.

Seon-Ah and Jai-Hui.  Jai-Hui's loyalty and devotion?

"Its weird.  I want to be fooled. Even if it's just for a short time." touches the cross pendant.

--

(23:40) This is how mere co-conspirators look at each other.  These guys do not feel married.

I do like Oh Jin-Ju.  even if the narrative forces her to be dumb or naive a lot of the time.

25:15  someone's in looove. and shy about it (😔) so adorable omg i can't handle it. It makes him clumsy! He's never clumsy. this is a romance novel.  (Does he also feel guilty for this marriage game with Seon Ah? if that's even what happened i'm still confused)

and Ga-On chases after him (😔😔😔)

the duke! in his chair! and the governess standing before him!

Ga-On sees Yo-Han's secret pain. or not even pain - self consciousness.  which is somehow even more tender to witness.  oh my heart. He understands him! my heart. I literally have goosebumps right now.

the grumpy duke! his angry ward! they're too competitive with each other.

play with *your family* !!

omg the way he snaps his suspenders at Ga-On.  like, i don't think there is any way to read this as anything other than romance.  What other reason could possibly exist for this behavior?

this whole jenga game.  my heart.  I can't take it. the little look of thanks he gives Ga-On at the end.  I just don't even know.

(since we're only on ep 11 of 16, I expect one more "break up" i expect them to get angry at each other over methods, for Ga-On to think Yo-Han has gone too far in hurting people, or perhaps that Yo-Han sacrifices Ga-On's revenge for his larger goals.  I expect him to move out, back to his old house one more time.  I don't think it will be over jealousy though, even if Y does almost marry Seon Ah.  I think that a) jealousy just isn't a concern for them?  and b) that might get too close to ackwoledging that they're gay and in love.  although we keep getting more and more acknowledgement, so they're pushing further than i would ever expect.  

but their root conflict is morality, not possessiveness, so i still don't think jealousy will be a serious issue.  perhpas a brief cute moment to lampshade thier gay love.  

ok, but immediately in the next scene Su Hyeong says "Did something good happen to you recently? You seem a bit different."  my friend, he is IN LOVE.

like they are highlighting this so much i think they might just come out and make their romance explicit.  like this might not be a censored bromance at all.  the not ending up together part could be a tragedy, not censorship.  or just ending the story before it happens.  because... how else are we supposed to take this?

"once this is over... I'll definitely..." what?  fall in love with and marry Su-Hyeon?  What are you thinking Ga-On, that you can't even finish the thought in your head?

again i'm asking, is he gay and self closeted?  Is he scared by falling in love with the bad guy? or any guy? like, at this point i don't even think we're supposed to take it that he's not falling in love, this show seems too honest and consistent about the major characters relationships

but also, he really does love her.  and it seems like he really does want to be able to fall in love with her.  It could be that we're supposed to read this as he is in love with her but scared to admit it, but i don't think that's even what they want us to think.

--

30:48  button theory

oh fuck, Seon-Ah found the actress from the son's trial. hmm. I feel like the actress is acting. that Seon-Ah hasn't bought her compliance with the mom threat. something calculated in her eyes.

oh right. and Seon is supposedly allied with Yo-Han now.  So maybe she and the actress are plotting together? But why bring in this illegal thing  Kand did at all?

The truth is what we say it is.  and yet the characters are so often honest.  Interesting, I don't know what it means.

greyish purple on Cha and purple on black on Seon-Ah

gauntlet thrown

Kang does look surprised to see her.  but they're drawing this out.  (35:58)  my money is that this is all a plot that will damage Minister Cha instead.  I'm about to find out!

called it! (*fist pump*)  at this point, we know our judge kang is the supreme manipulator of reality, above all other manipulators.

Seon-Ah is so cute with her hands in her pockets. the smirk at Cha, Cha's glare at her.

I don't know if i said this yet, but Cha's actress is fabulous.  Her and Ji Sung's microexpressions in this stare down! (37:37)

Oh.  and now is when they use this bait.  (although the fact that Judge Kang was so prepared for this moment implies a little that he was behind this whole thing.

(39:50)  I love that the husband and the son are at home anxious in the "women's roles"  . I don't know if it has the same connotations in S. Korea, but I'm guessing it does.

Ga-On's face in this phone call with Su Hyeon.  He's moving further and further away from her and her clean morality, and it's breaking his heart.

Did Cadillac sponsor this series? them and that instant coffee brand?

(45 ish) - raw desperate Cha Gyeong-Hui

I think this man genuinely has no fear of death.  he gets an adrenaline rush. He's scared to play jenga with his niece, but not that he'll be shot by his angry enemy holding a pistol.

Also, I was right about Seon-Ah being the main antagonist, but I was also right about it being a battle between the three of them. (although don't forget, the two representative businessmen are plotting something together in the wings.  prez buffoon is just a buffoon)

again, with the way these powerful people manipulate each other by telling each other the truth.  somehow it works and feels plausible! and still they say the power comes from creating the truth

at the Lee/Cha household.  Sunlight afternoon when they were hopeful.  dark and glass and reflections in despair

telling her family "don't show weakness. only the weak will suffer." This is emerging to be a major theme. (also Cha's voice and face hand posture here)

49:35 - plotting back at the gothic castle

Yo-Han - is that jealousy? are you jealous that your two men are having a brief, mildy pleasant and slightly (professionally) complimentary conversation? lol. I guess he is a possessive one.

Minister Cha looks dead inside, like she's hanging on by a thread

This collapse is moving fast!  this show has no time to waste, we've got to hurry up and get back to romancing the governess in our gothic castle

she plays 'powerful figure falling apart' so well

53:52 - Prez Heo "you're breaking the game, aren't you."

Interested in the aesthetics of the blue house.  It's warm, sort of, but in a yellow, perhaps almost sickly way.  It doesn't fit the glass/marble/cold/stone/reflections aesthetic of other places of power.  I think that's because it isn't actually a place of power.  Pres. Heo can only react, he owes it all to the others and has no real power of his own.  (I don't know if it looks anything like the real Blue House) 

(is the show using trad. Korean vs. trad european vs. modern aesthetics? don't know if there's anything there)

They're all using each other at guns pointed at each other's heads.  I've lost track of who's blackmailing who with threats to reveal what to who.  but somehow it feels like it all makes sense

insert gender thoughts here

prez and wife hold the upper hand here, but i think it's only because cha is so weakened now

Maybe the show's constant use of cars is because of the aesthetic, especially at night: metal and glass and shiny and reflective.  cold harsh bright headlights.  alienated from people.  also i think they really do have a cadillac sponsorship, although which came first?

Ga-On. Kitten.  You do not look intimidating here.  (but I think he can. so it's probably a deliberate actor choice?)

again, unformed gender thoughts

is she going to commit suicide? burn documents? Chekhov's gun exists, and that cigar box the camera lingered on looked like the gun case.  she looks suicidal.  and yahon looks like he knows that's what's going to happen and he is allowing  it.

What brings Su-Hyeon here?

dark room, the back of her head, cigar smoke and satie.  she's going to shoot herself.

However, she may not succeed. Is Su-Hyeon going to save her? or find her?

would we lose her in ep 11 or early 12? I think it's possible.  she's already fallen to complete pieces.  and she's not the main antagonist. although the most interesting of the lower circle.  but i think the show would get rid of her at this point. it would escalate Kang's missions 

This is heartbreaking.  the grief on Cha Gyeong-Hui's face.  this memory of her son.

the morality of the show is getting complex in a deeper way.  it was 'grey' from the beginning, but aesthetically.  Now it's looking at the actual harm that befalls people.

oh. Yo-Han was not expecting that either. He looked genuinely shocked.  How will this affect each of their moral compasses going forward? 

oh wow, and I was not expecting that arrest.  but it makes sense.  things have been going so well for them, they need a major disruption. and that photo did say that Kang was in jail.  I'd gotten so used to Kang being all powerful I didn’t think he could be taken off the board.  He and Ga-On did too. 

Su-Hyeon standing alone with her gun against all the forces of evil in this world. and now her love, her meaning to her life, her Ga-On is standing with the evil.

Andromeda Six Episode 3 and a whirlwind of emotions (spoilers, I guess)

So.... when is episode 4 coming out? Hahahahaaha.... I was just left wanting more after that episode that I want to start the next immediately. I’m ready to take odd jobs this quarantine season so I can make donations to the devs!

No seriously, I’ve been waiting for ep3′s release the moment I opened my eyes this morning. I’ve been doing a lot of things while refreshing itch.io’s page to know if Ep3′s has already been released just yet. And the moment I saw the new files, I jumped right into it!

I went to the Traveler with June as the LI and boy.... It broke my heart. June seems to have the most beef against the royal family you’re part of. And I can’t blame him if he can’t separate the shit the government did to him and to his family from you.... his calm and composed demeanor melted away and revealed the hurting man inside. Honestly, I just want to hug him really tight.   

The fact that when you’re pursuing him as a Love Interest adds more to the drama... To think that the person you risked your life to save, became friends with, and eventually, a potential lover, is actually a part of the family who just practically destroyed your life and the lives of those around you, leaving you scarred for the rest of your life. You know that it’s not that person’s fault but you can’t help but see their shadow in that family. Damn, I really want to know how this pans out. I’m sensing one hell of a stormy romance here.

And I’m more than willing to take that dangerous ride with him.

And about the new guy...

Damnit... I need a new playthrough for him! I mean, I still love June... but my ghaaadddddd..... I think a romance with this guy will be dramatic.

I thought Vexx is a red-haired Damon, but no.... he’s in a different level of complicated. Damon can be catty (pun intended) at times but at least he’s genuine in his own way. But Vexx, I’m sniffing another angsty romance drama here as he, on the outside, just says that he’s just using the Traveler to know the secret passages in the palace, and he’s actually a part of the Big Bad’s (Zorvack? I forgot the name) faction. And yet when you pick the flirt options (especially the second one) there are hints that he actually cares about our MC. Another sign that maybe he cares more than he actually admits is instead of capturing the Traveler or just executing her, he just warns her to stay away from the A6 crew and live her new life away from him and them. 

I’m certainly looking forward seeing him in the future episodes!

Oh, speaking of Damon....

Ok, we’re definitely friends now. ;) Despite, you know, suggesting that they should just deliver the MC to the enemy just to clear the bounty on their heads. I don’t know what’s going on with that guy’s head... but his fondness for cats closes the deal for me. Although can I at least be a part of his cat-sneaking operation while having him as a Love Interest? Why do all the flirt options must be about the sexual tension? Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I just want to sneak a cat with him. 

  To my surprise, Cal is actually pretty calm about this.  I really expect him to be anal about this (well, he is kind of that way in the first part of the episode) but after his initial outburst, he’s supportive and understanding on what’s happening with the Traveler. He even apologized for treating your MC badly at first. He’s certainly a refreshing LI after being entangled with the previous LI’s with complicated personalities.

Honestly, I now see him as Steve Rogers with a temper. hehehehe....

Although I’m curious if this stable relationship is going to last in the future episodes or if something or someone will throw a monkey wrench in this smooth moving gear? (A part of me wishes that it happens because I thrive on dramatic chaos. Mwahahahahahahaha....)

All in all, waiting for this episode is worth the wait. There’s not much plot action since this tackles more on the A6 crew (and Vexx’s) backstory and character but I’m quite fine with it.

The other thing that I like about this episode is that you can somewhat alter the MC’s personality (Emotional, Aloof, and Strong) and that carries on in the future conversations. I hope that it also gets carried over in the future episodes. It adds to the roleplaying factor to the story.

I hope that the next one comes quickly... Damon’s excited to go back home to Cursa. XD.

i love to see how kang actually can be a really kind and sweet person. we don't know his whole story yet, but now it is clear that he indeed has been raised right and deep down he is so different than he seems. just as i thought he just had a severe case of stupid teenage boy syndrome. that was it.
