Bryn... I miss the old SMTM times where it was actually about rapping and not just looks. Jamie was okay, but I didn't like Bryn's song at all. When she raps it's as if she was just raising her voice. No intonation, no melody or rhythm in the rapping parts, just... shouting, basically.
Aw yeeeah, Coogie! :heart_eyes: They did good with Donghyunie - but again, I'd love more rap in this show...
Aww, Choi LB and Suran with the umbrella, so cute! :heart_eyes: The song was alright, but probably not a winning performance for me.
Yaaaas, that's what I wanted! Young B with that badass beat from VJ - I'm sold! The beat, the lyrics, Young B's voice, Vinxen (first time actually seeing him even tho I've heard him mentioned lately, still dunno who he is :joy:)... everything was amazing. And the fact he was actually, visibly shaking right after his performance, aww... Shows how emotional he is behind that mask.
DONGHYUNIE GIVING A FLOWER TO CHOI LB :sob::sob::sparkles: This precious child, omg
Whooo, Magma was amazing!! Again, just like with Young B's performance: the beat, the main artist ('Nello), the featuring (Hangzoo), the power, the badassery... MY GOD. At first I was unsure about it when I heard the beat in BewhY's studio, but man, that drop... and that 'Nello (and later Hangzoo too) actually crouched in perfect sync with that drop... just pure blessing to my eyes.
Idrk what to think about EK's song... It wasn't bad, but I didn't like it that much either. The beat was good, Justhis was... well, f*ckin' Justhis, what else do you expect... :joy: But I never really liked EK's voice/rap, so probably that was the no-no for me.
Ehh... The only rap part saved Jjangyou's song. Again, loved his voice, loved the power in his voice, but this is a rap survival show, so maybe don't sing 90% of the song?
I don't really wanna write anything about Takuwa's song... I still hate his voice and "rap" style of random screams. The only good thing (aside from the okay beat) was Han Yo Han who was a big surprise as a featuring artist. :heart_eyes:

'Nello interlacing fingers and swinging hands with Donghyunie and Young B is too precious! :sob: Love these cuties.

The only elimination I don't agree with is Jjangyou's. I really don't think Takuwa deserves to be in the top 4. Or if I don't wanna phrase it too harshly, I'd rather say there are many people who would've deserved to be in the top 4 instead of him. (It still sounds harsh, but oh well... :joy:)

This Kao guy is a literal stalker. Thailand, please, stop romanticizing stalkers, thanks.

It's a breath of fresh air to have male characters who don't make a big deal out of liking another guy. How casually Kao mentioned it to his stepmom(?) and Solo to his friend - that's what I like to see. Maybe not this early though. Both of them started to like a guy after one encounter where they barely had any conversation (well, Kao apparently spied on Phu before, but yeah).
Solo's case is a bit different, he seems like a kinda depressed guy (which is also a wonderful new representation in Thai BL cuz we always see happy or grumpy characters but not depressed ones :rainbow:), and for depressed people, even the smallest act of kindness and caring can lead to attraction (that can be romantical or not).

Ah, yes, spreading malicious rumors about a guy who apparently doesn't mingle with anyone... so no outsider can prove that the rumors have even a slight truth in them.

Are we supposed to know those "doctors" from somewhere? I feel like if this is not a sequel of something, they shouldn't expect all viewers to know characters from a different drama... [Edit: Okay, nvm, it was just really badly phrased.] (And also, did he really check the guy's heartbeat to see if he has cold? I can also do nonsense things, where's my doctor's certificate then? :joy:)

Solo scratched his left arm, why is the bloody spot(?) on his right arm then? Also, Gui grabbing his arm was a bit too dramatic, lol.

Wait... did that peck on the cheek actually happen or it was just Solo's fantasy? :open_mouth: Either way, things are moving a bit too fast. They don't know anything about each other yet Gui leaves his home just to let Solo inside the café and make him warm milk, and Solo accompanies Gui back to his home...

Omg, seeing the two kid actors made me be so proud of them! They brought that "deep connection" vibe in less than 10 minutes.

OOOH, the air is already super hot between the guys in the present(er past)! I'm a sucker for (healthy) love-hate relationships, and Oh's actor was impressive from the beginning of his screentime (really natural movements and reactions), so I'm looking forward to the next episodes (and the remaining half of this episode :joy:) even more!
It's a bit cringe to watch Teh try to look like Oh and snap pics like his just because... umm... why exactly? Teh saw that Oh's score on the Chinese test was 9, his (Teh's) was 29, so why does he want to be like Oh now?

Oh no, now I ship Oh with Bass. Hard. They're just too cute together. I love the calm, peaceful and quiet atmosphere between them.

Those damn text messages cause a lot of editing fails... Or is it this bright at 6PM in Thailand? :joy:

There were some awkward silences filled with smiling and crying or just Teh being awkward by himself, but overall it was a pretty strong pilot episode. I've read some comments about the recent look of the story (may have a bad ending?) which I hope will not be true. Or if "bad ending" is Oh getting together with Bass, I'll take that anytime. :joy: Anyway, I'll continue to watch this since both the story and the actors seem promising. (And I didn't even talk about the actors learning/knowing Chinese! I don't speak it, just watched some Chinese and Taiwanese dramas, but they seem to have a good pronounciation.)

[Edit: name correction.]

Thanks, power outing, now I have to write the beginning of my comment again...

It's a great idea to involve SMTM fans with this new addition, and the chance that their beat can appear in the show is a great motivator + then the SMTM judges don't have to come up with beats themselves. Win-win.

Takuwa's voice is still annoying, but his confidence made his part better than Woodie's. Woodie sounded like he was out of breath a lot. But he was so adorable thanking even the backstage staff and bowing before them. :sob:
Punchnello didn't disappoint. Although the gap between the votes was huge, I understand it because Punchnello's energy and talent just shined so bright that it was an "obvious" choice.
Zene and EK's stage was a real one. True professionalism. The song was average, but how the guys behaved on-stage was awesome to watch. Personally I preferred Zene, but in this case I was surprised by the difference in the votes because it seemed to me that the two guys were basically on the exact same level everything-wise. I'm sad to see Zene go, he was such a refreshing and calming addition to the show this season. :c
Aw, the WYBH duo were cute, although the song itself was meh for me. I didn't like how Choi LB "said goodbye" to Seungmin, it was pretty rude professionalism-wise and friend-wise as well.
Hell yeah, YunB and Young B did a great job together! Their harmonization at the hook and chorus was superB! (Aww, Donghyunie gently taking off the confettis out of Young B's hair! :laughing:)
OMG, Bryn looks so gorgeous with the hair extension and these clothes! :heart_eyes: Mckdaddy was way better imo because Bryn was kinda shouting all the time... I know she wanted to sound fierce or whatever, but she overdid it a bit. Mckdaddy's rap was solid. I loved the beat and the concept, and I also loved how cute they looked/behaved together everytime, as if they were really an uncle-niece duo. :smile: I liked Mckdaddy, he was so respectful and a real underdog with talent for me, so I'm sad to see him go too. :c
Yunhway did an awesome job with their song, and although my choice would be Jjangyou rap-wise (because Yunhway didn't really rap at all this time), the girl's charisma and voice was just too perfect. The difference between the number of votes was surprising here as well...

I'm a bit torn regarding Lil Tachi... It's obvious that he was struggling mentally, so I would've expected the mentors to be more helpful than just saying "wake up" and "you have to be brighter"... like dude, depression doesn't go away like that... (I'm not a doctor or anything similar, I just read Tachi's behaviour and body language, and it was pretty obviously depression for me.) I'm glad Swings called him aside in that room and talked to him alone, these kinda talks (ofc with the right content) can help a lot.
So yeah, I'm torn because he's young, he may not know how to deal with depression or this amount of stress, so I'd expect the judges to guide and help him in the right direction. On the other hand, he was on HSR, that rap survival show is exactly for his age (and he was on SMTM before too, I think), so he should've known that this is a harder competition with adults and a lot more audience.

Gotta be honest, I liked Tachi's rap more, but Donghyunie's voice is just so unique that he easily stole the spotlight (again). It wasn't really a fair fight because their tone is really different + the bigger "problem" is that Donghyun is a singing rapper, and while his part was good only because of the singing parts (imo), Tachi actually rapped. It was good to have someone so honest with his words and gestures on the show.
I think if the audience would've been shown how much YunB prepared for this song and how Young B didn't show up on a creating process session and on an official practice, maybe the votes would've been switched for them. Obviously, it was the right choice to only show the people the performance, but still...

Lol, saying that Choi LB is your strongest rapper next to Young B... :grimacing: For me, it was immediately evident that they wanted an easy fight between their team members so they chose the strongest and the weakest one, but okay, producers, keep telling these blatant lies... :joy:

So Bohn is that typical Thai BL character too who can't spit out one sentence in his defense ("Mind tried to kiss me, but I refused him"), therefore causes even more unnecessary drama. Really, all he had to do was say the truth because he really wasn't into what Mind was doing, and if Duen knew that, maybe he wouldn't have been this upset about the whole thing. Instead now he feels cheated on (because Bohn STILL didn't say a word about the kiss not being mutual) and Bohn just promises that he won't lie ever again... Okay...

I'm still not fully happy about the main pair, but gotta admit that their kiss was pretty cute. ^^ Especially because it's rare to see a first kiss in Thai BLs where both of the characters lean in (one of them is usually refusing or is immensely surprised at first).

The Chinese cutie's adorable chuckle strikes again! :heart_eyes::joy: The actor has a really smooth and natural chemistry with Boss's actor (whose contract is apparently terminated, I read... Hope they can figure it out).

Sorry, I have to be a bit vulgar here, but BITCH WHAT?? Seriously, BohnDuen and MekBoss got their closure, but KingRam got a cliffhanger???? (And also TharaFrong, but they didn't have much time together to develop into a solid couple in this season.)
Oml, KingRam is one of the best things that has happened to Thai BL series in the last few years. Their interactions, the glances, THE KISS! I'm actually so glad I gave this show another chance, but basically only because of KingRam. King is a perfect boyfriend material - he has his flaws, but he's genuine, kind, caring, attentive, selfless, smart... And it was so good to see Ram slowly opening up to him. These two are really well-formed and realistic characters.

Okay, I didn't want to mention that idiotic boxing scene on school grounds, but there was a doctor with them... who didn't do anything at the end when Bohn clearly got bruised and Ram was in pain too. :person_facepalming:

This is a reoccurring question in Thai series... Surprisingly, I don't mind it here that much, but let's just look at it from this way: we have 2 university students (~18 and 19/20 years old) who agreed to being boyfriends without ever kissing each other? Don't get me wrong, I don't want BLs to become porn series, but if you really think about it, which adult in the modern world agrees to a relationship with barely any physical interactions between the two of them? I think before this episode, it was only one kiss on the cheek in the first or second episode - and that's it. (I emphasize again, I'm not degrading their feelings and emotional development, but how can you be someone's boyfriend as an adult if you're still dodging from a kiss on the cheek from them?)

Lol, next time I meet a guy who flirts but "doesn't mean anything by it", I'll just show them scenes of Boss&Mek and ask them if they think this is appropriate. I would've definitely ditched Boss a long time ago if I was Mek. That fake flirting and always asking for favors is so toxic. And he didn't even put a blanket on Mek or moved him or something when he saw him sleeping on the table... Is this how you treat your "best friend"? Smh.

There are two types of adorable on SMTM: 1) confidently starting the team chant like Zene, and 2) awkwardly smiling and barely even trying to flex at the team chant like Mad Clown. xDD
OMG, Yunhway the genius putting the mic under her shirt so no one could snatch it! xD
I'm glad Mckdaddy held back just the right amount so that he didn't flex for beating Bryn easily in the thigh game but he won the challenge for his team at the last few seconds. He did the right thing on both fronts. :clap:
Regularly chaotic Jonathan Moon as a confident and successful goalkeeper, and temporarily chaotic Mckdaddy falling down 3 times and not finding the ball are two big moods when I play video games, lol.

I so love these activities because of the same reasons that the contestants and producers said (but no words were needed, you just had to look at their happy faces while doing the challenges): even if it's a rapper survival show, doing these events bring them together as people and as a team. Plus, like they said too, it's a good way to just take things easy (or easier) and have some fun.

Ooooh, someone give Jjangyou a contract (if he doesn't have one already)! He has the rap skills, singing voice, charisma, confidence and looks - what else do you need? Oh, right... good lyrics. I loved everything else, but his lyrics were weak for a diss battle. It started out good and funny with the "you're gonna forget your lyrics" "hypnosis", but that can be applied to anyone.
Haha, loved Yunhway's genuine laugh when she saw Punchnello. xD But OH SHIT, PUNCHNELLO GOT US ALL FOOLED THEN WENT HARD AF! OMG.
Ohohhooo, Donghyunie... No wonder why did Jay Park hire him to H1GHER.
I'm ready to bow before Zene. I knew it was going to be lit in the moment he came up with the idea of rapping to EK's "GOD" and changing the hook to "집에 가 가 가" ("go go go home"). He's a genius. I didn't like him that much in the previous seasons (or rather didn't pay attention to him), but damn, he's shining both personally and rap-wise in SMTM8!
I mean, knowing that Young B peed himself in a show(?) is a biiig weapon in a diss battle, but repeating that one fact on and on is a bit boring... And all my respect to Young B that he seemed to be unfazed after those punchlines - and that he even complimented YunB's rap afterwards. On the other hand, YunB taking his shirt off and kinda "threatening" Young B by putting his fist in poor kid's face... lol.

Young B handing his drink over to Chillin Homie, aww... If I hadn't emphasized it enough, yes, Young B changed in a super positive way throughout the years, and I'm so proud. :muscle:
Also, Donghyunie hugging Homie... :heart_eyes: Love the love.

I understand the little difference between the votes of the second match, but eh... Punchnello's verse alone would've been enough for me to vote for them, it's unfortunate that less than half of the audience thought the same.
Aaand Donghyunie hugging Homie again, aww...

Okay, so umm... way too many unnecessary fighting and drama, way too many love triangles (teacher-headmaster-mom, Isa-Pablo-Nati's sis, Javi-Sofi-Raúl) and some pretty lame plot. There's just too much going on with literally everyone that the episode just jumped from one problem to another without showing us a solution. Sofi missed his dad's anniversary, the headmaster hooked up with that teacher after getting mad at Sofi that he got rejected by her mom, Gerry tried to visit the bullied kid twice now, Alex got broken up with... Too. Much. Going. On.

Also, wtf was up with Sofi at the party in the last episode? I was wondering if she'll get things straight in this part, but no, she literally acted as if she wasn't interested in neither of the guys - but at the same time, yes. I can accept that she went for that kiss with Javier because 1) she's been told to by the sicko, and 2) let's face it, they've had enough moments already to have a nice chemistry together. But. Hooking up with Raúl for fun? Even though they barely spoke 5 sentences before that? You can't say it was from those 3 sips of alcohol... I mean, okay, Raúl may have gotten interested in Sofi because she helped him out in like two situations, but where do Sofi's feelings come from? What about Javi who's been with her all this time? And what about that adult guy (if he is/was Sofi's boyfriend)?

I'm trying to keep these things in myself, but if there are these many and this often, then maybe it's not me being picky but the show's creators being sloppy with their job.

So far the episodes have been a bit meh for me. It was weird to see 10 strangers (for me) who were not so strangers (for each other and the judges) without any introduction whatsoever. I mean, yeah, this show is about make-up, but it's also a reality, so you know, either introduce the contestants properly (and make this more of a reality show) or not at all (and make this all about the process of make-up and the created looks).

This time we got to know a little more about the contestants, and that's what I would've preferred at the beginning. Maybe not (only) their two sides, but more general info about them.

I'd loved to see the full videos of the make-up challenges of Brandon&Tiff and Ellis&Nikki [edit: first wrote Belinda, whoops], those seemed fun! Also, some of the solo pieces of this episode were breathtaking too, especially Brandon's work.
This time I agreed with most or all that the judges said - I was torn to watch the series further because I know I'm not a professional, but I just saw a lot of things differently than them, and it bothered me.

Leigh calling himself a drama queen for a little breakdown broke my heart a bit. Like no, even if you're a straight guy (which he seemingly is, but if he's not, even then too), getting emotional, having anxiety or panicking isn't being a drama queen. That's just being human.
And I was so glad that it was him who stayed because, frankly, Paige was slowly getting on my nerves with her overconfidence paired up with a big amount of negligence put in her works.

OOOH, Yunhway, my teriyaki girl! Good job! She was really-really amazing and confident up there! Kim Seungmin and YunB's chemi and voice harmonization was already awesome, but when Yunhway, Olltii and Donutman came up too, it was pure perfection. Their voices went so well together, and Yunhway was really needed there to kinda balance out the 4 men('s tones). Not to mention their cute dress code and choreography... Aaah, it was incredible.
Obviously, I'm not happy for Olltii, but on the other hand, he was the "best choice" to eliminate since all the others did perfectly. I'm proud of him though for handling his elimination maturely. He's a good guy.

I had the exact same thought as Chillin Homie and some others - that Giri's beat doesn't suit him and his style at all. I was also like that with Young B [my bad for writing his name like YunB's for a few episodes :sweat_smile:], but both of them did good.
It was obvious that Woodie and Seo Donghyun would do amazing, so I wasn't disappointed by what I heard. :smile:
Choi LB was a pleasant surprise for me. Since SMTM didn't really show him so far, I didn't know what to expect, but his tone, lyrics and delivery were all wonderful.
Idek if Kingchi Mane's elimination was fair or not, but I suspect that him being already blurred out since like 1-2 episodes must have weighed in the decision-making. :sweat_smile:

Bully hugging EK is the most "aawh" moment since a long time! :3
Lil Tachi, dayum! I'm so proud!
Ooh, I can only say the same from Bryn as I mentioned for Yunhway: her voice balances out the boys (especially EK's, since I basically only heard him with Bryn) so well! And OOH, her verse was damn good!
Aw yeah, Bully killed it!
Aaand they eliminated him. Even though he did his fckin' tight rap perfectly. I think the producers didn't take it to consideration that Takuwa's voice is awfully high (for me, at least, but Swings emphasized it too). And not the enjoyable high voice, it's the annoying one.

My gaaaawd, 'Nello! :heart_eyes: Can't not love his aggressive rap!
BUT DAMN (or should I say BAMN?), THEY WERE ALL AMAZING!! At first I wasn't sure how would these people go well individually, but the producers showed again that they have a keen eye for this. I'm just... wow. All and every one of them did incredibly well. As individuals and as a team. The order was well though-out too, I really agree with having Punchnello first, Dbo second and Mckdaddy last. The only problem is that there's an elimination...

Oooh, the beat that YoungB and YSW chose was reeeeeally awesome! YSW's verse wasn't bad, but YoungB's voice and rap just clicked with the song too well. Though I disliked how much "huh"-s did YoungB say, it was pretty annoying after 8 times in a row at the end of every line... [Lol, I'm glad that Nafla thought the same too xD also, his adorable laugh after BewhY's joke was too much to handle :heart_eyes:]
Haha, NaughtymaEK's hook :D

Awww, Millic and Crush's long hug! So cute.

Ehh, 40 Crew shouldn't have brought two featuring artists... Don't get me wrong, I love pH-1 and Yumdda's hook was amazing, but still, it should've been a song with only the 4 producers. (Haha, Olltii saying "okay!" in response to Mad Clown's line! :'D)
BGM-v's beat was kinda good, the message or idea was creative (especially VJ's, oof), but overall it didn't color me that impressed... Probably because I don't really like Giri's voice and BewhY's robotic rap gets annoying fast to listen to too, but still.

Oh, I wouldn't have imagined that it would be Jjangyou who'll lead their team in choosing songs. :D And he was so cute encouraging people to try themselves on the beats and complimenting them! He reminds me of a light version of LooFla or Superbee last season. Ah, it makes me wanna watch that part again, they were of so much help and guidance for their team!

I may have been a little too excited seeing Loopy and The Quiett as guest judges... :heart_eyes::sweat_smile:

Ohhooo, Kim Seungmin! So glad he was revived, his voice itself is music to my ears! He killed that (likewise amazing) beat so hard, damn!
Hahaha, Woodie's part was awesome! xD Also liked how between all the stiffness in the other team, EK in the middle was the only one dancing along like a proud child. :'D Yunhway was good too, but she didn't do much rapping...
Aw, Chillin Homie's mistake was really unfortunate... He was so much more powerful than Bully.
I agree with VJ about Olltii. I wanted to mention it too, since his MC-ing was pro, haha. Maybe that's thanks to his show(? idk, I just looked into a few episodes of his freestyling chilling videos), but his "voice-over" tone alone is gold too.
Boiii, Donutman! I'm so glad he could rap his lyrics flawlessly - it would've been an incredible shame if he'd messed up these fire lines. So proud of him.
Lool, Jjangyou's featuring in Choi LB's part! xD
Oooh, 'Nello did great! That beat was puke, but he made it actually listenable with his rap.
Olltii was good, but Mckdaddy was ON FIRE. That beat really suited his verse.
For me, YoungB was lacking this round. It seemed that he either went off-beat or just his lines didn't match with the beat that well. EK was real good tho. Also, notice how no one dared to tease or step over the line when EK was rapping, lol. Even YoungB backed off of swinging his d*ck around. xD

This part of my comment will be reacting a bit to the last few episodes too. I've read the previous episode's comments disliking Ryo and saying that Hana deserves better. I wanted to say my opinion about this real quick.
I think Ryo is a great human, but it's clear that he has adapted the westerner mindset, so he may fall for a woman who's either a westerner or had adapted that mindset too. Plus, even if it wasn't like this, we can't choose who we feel attracted to. If Hana isn't what Ryo would describe as a romantic interest, she isn't, period. That doesn't make Ryo a trash human being.
What kinda makes him trash a little bit for me is that he's almost leading Hana on with compliments - even though it must be obvious for him, too, that she's head-over-heels for him. It may be his personality, sure (I've had the same experience with several guys who kept saying and doing flattering things but apparently they didn't see me romantically), but come on... he's an adult, he seems intelligent enough to know when should he stop the polite flattery(?) towards a girl he doesn't like.
That's why it's hard to see Hana not giving up, even though it's obvious that even if she confesses (once more), that won't change Ryo's feelings for her. At least not positively.

Also, I wanted to fangirl about Tupas earlier, but didn't want to write a comment just about him (and Kai's amazing voice)... xD I like his style, and even though his mannerisms must be way too official (I don't speak Japanese, but I bet the translations don't cover the super polite parts fully), respect is a big factor for me in a relationship, so I'd probably be drawn to him even more. He also has his way with subtle compliments and flattering - which, again, would sweep me off my feet after a short period of time. :sweat_smile:

Vivi gave an almost perfect motivational speech for Tupas, but I kinda have to agree with Tupas on one thing. Your family background and surroundings shape how you see and give love to others (between other things). It's not "victim behaviour" to think that because that's the truth. A child who receives love, praise and affection from their parents is definitely gonna behave differently than a child who's been ignored, neglected and scolded a lot.
But Vivi is right in the sense that you can't live your life blaming everything on these circumstances in the long run. You can move out of where you live, you can change schools, jobs, partners, friends... Sure, you won't be able to change your past, but you can overcome it, learn from it and do better in the future.

Ruka's drawings... Just no. xD
Emi showed the side of her that I got the vibe of during her introduction to the show. It seems she has her eyes on Shohei (though I can't recall them being together or even talking to each other at all), so she may have some rivalry with Kaori.
And if I'm talking about her... KAORI, MY BABY! I'm so glad she sat down and talked with Shohei about their feelings and misunderstandings. I'm eerily similar to Kaori when it comes to emotional stuff, so I totally get why she would be upset hearing Haruka saying that she isn't always sure if Kaori's kind words are honest or if she's just trying to not stir up anything. If Kaori's exactly like me, she won't lie and change her honest (bad) opinion to a good one just to avoid conflict with a person. She might tell some white lies to not hurt people's feelings, but I think sometimes that's better than a brutally honest negative statement.
So yeah, I get Kaori's feelings but I also get the other side because she definitely is holding back her real feelings and real opinions quite a lot. That's why I'm glad that Shohei talked to her and told her how it is (mis)interpreted from the outside. I can see why Kaori likes him - my type would be close to Shohei too; someone who is confident in themselves and says their honest opinion (mostly) without hurting feelings. I'm really curious how will their relationship grow.

Yet another Thai series that promotes (drug) abuse, yaaay :rolling_eyes: (I dropped this series right at this scene because that plot and basically everything else was the usual Thai shit, but I saw a fanmade video of the pair, so here I am forcing myself to bear yet another idiotic storyline for the sake of some BL content.)

Am I blind or are Sarawat's friends two guys from SOTUS? :heart_eyes: At least one of them is, I'm sure about him! Long time no see!

I'd be dreading to be a student in Thailand, lol. This guy apparently has no Facebook, no IG, no Line, but people still record his interactions and post them along with his (fake) schedule on social media. Like dude, that's fucked up.

"Keep looking at me like that... and I will kiss [you] 'til you drop." - Umm... Who tf says that to a stranger that just called them an asshole? Especially if both of them are guys and (now) both of them are straight?

Aand of course Sarawat will write things on the stupid MC's Facebook wall that's totally not suitable with his character. :rolling_eyes:

The only thing I'm digging so far is Mr. Asshole's acting (well, more of his poker face).

Love how at the beginning, when the contestants were in a waiting room, the first row's left side had YunB, Sway D and Dbo in it, and right side consisted of Punchnello, Donutman, Zene, Woodie and EK. :D If it wasn't the filming crew telling them where to sit (which I don't think it was), it's really interesting how the better rappers (and the ones who're here not for the first time) gathered front.

Aww, my heart when Millic (sry, can't bring myself to write his name with little m xD) and BewhY hugged Veiniyfl and all of them looked so happy (especially the kid)!
Haha, Punchnello bowing and apologizing to Swings when he sent him to the fire pit... :D Punchnello is a really good guy, full of respect and humility. Love him.
Oh, I haven't seen Jjangyou from this close before... he's quite handsome! xD

LMAO, I laughed out SO loud when BewhY hiccuped! XD He must've gotten too excited, lol.

Ooohmagaaaaawd, my fantasy would come true if I could be near all those amazing past-judges and past-contestants! :heart_eyes:

I like Veiniyfl as a presence more, but for me A-Chess's verse was better with that beat. All my respect to Veiniyfl for accepting his elimination with his head held high. That's not a thing everyone can do, and it was a pleasant surprise for a teenager to do it.
Oh, Olltii... He has a special place in my heart since SMTM3, but I won't argue with anyone if they say he's arrogant af because he is. :'D Though even then I love his freestyles.

Lool, I was thinking of commenting on it, but after Kid Milli mentioned it, I have to now. Kim Jin-pyo must be q u a k i n g everytime Crush kinda turns into an MC. xD He really has good voice, tone and comments.

Ooh, Byeongwoong and O'domar were really vibing there! Loved that.
Teriyaki girl killed it. Love her voice and clear vocalization.
Having heard more and more K-hip-hop since last season, I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed in YunB. From the flashback to last season, I recognized his team battle lyrics as his Bake Bread verse, and now he used his exact lyrics from No Days Off... His voice is golden, but can't he write some new lyrics? He even has the advantage of being a well-known rapper of Hi-Lite, now this laziness is just pure disrespect to all hardworking rappers.
Haha, when Crush stood up hearing Seo Donghyun's vocals, I FELT THE SAME, BRÖTHER! Both of them did reeeeeeeal goood. Crush definitely had a big crush on Donghyunie. :joy:
Daaamn, when I heard Boycold's beat, I knew I would love the song that Jjangyou and Layone will make. They managed to exceed my expectations, especially with the hook. Omg, Jjangyou's kinda scream-like voice at the beginning of the hook is something else...
Oh, my Punchnello... My humble baby boy... :C

B*TCH, FIGHTER, I'LL REK YOU AND END YOUR WHOLE CARREER! WTF is that statement that you're doing all this just to tease Tutor?! Dude...

Hol' up... Fighter's dad is dating Hwa's mom... and he wants Fighter to date Hwa...?

Hwa and Day's relationship was supposed to be cute and genuine (from what I saw on her birthday party)... But this is the first time we see Day since that scene, and he's asking Hwa to be his girlfriend right after Fighter "broke up" (did they even date?) with her? And she accepts his kiss and his confession?? She was in love with Fighter, sure... :joy:

OH, LORD, you can't imagine how hard I laughed when Champ bumped ""smoothly"" into Blue! XDD The movements were so unrealistic, it pained me to watch (and rewatch... and rewatch) it! xD Thais, please, for the love of God, it's not that hard to retake a scene if it's THIS absurdly unnatural...
On another note, I'll definitely be pissed when (see that I wrote "when", not "if"? Yeah, that's how predictable Thai shows are) Blue will get together with the mean football guy instead of Champ. We could get a solid lovely pair, but no, we'll get another bully-bullied pair... (Still high-key hoping for Champ to be the champ.)

Aaand Tutor is in denial too. Like... how? I thought he knew about his feelings and was just not ready to tell Fighter, but seeing that he's still not sure... :person_facepalming:

This whole episode was a mess. Maybe only Zon and Saifah were going strong this time. It's a shame the directors couldn't continue last episode's cute and natural moments between Fighter and Tutor.

Am I smelling a 3rd season with this cliffhanger? Though seeing that this episode was released almost 2 whole years ago... But Junjou Romantica had a 3rd season 7 years after its first 2, so I have some hope. xD

Anyway. The kisses were adorable, as usual, and I'm happy for the guys' ending. I loved seeing their interactions, though the anime kinda had that Chinese "BL" drama vibe for me with these not-too-concrete scenes and confessions. I mean, you can clearly see from their actions that they love each other most probably in a romantical way, but it's still not 100% sure or confirmed since the kisses were all to give spiritual power to the other person (well, or at least some could be disguised as giving power)... Eh, I hope if they do another season, they'll go all-in.

As for the other happenings: it would've been better to just finish it here, I think. Why complicate the series with reviving Shouken? And how can you revive a person whose soul had scattered? Doesn't that mean that this way Shouken would be like a zombie puppet?
The other side characters were kind of a bummer to me. We were introduced to so many of them (In Tetsu, the frog girl, the other woman, Jiun, the glasses guy, grandma, Shin Shiyou, Ouyou You, and I even feel like this about Shinryuu Sekijin), but none of them really had a backstory or a bigger importance. Sure, they were all present, had lines and things to do, but if Shouken could get 2 whole episodes for his narration, why can't the others have a bit more to their backgrounds? Not whole episodes one by one, of course, but like as the stone boy could get an episode dedicated to him, his village, its people and his mission, I think In Tetsu's gang or the Tanmoku crew could've gotten some more recognition too.

I was still missing a lot of action and magic that was present in the first 2 episodes of the first season, but it didn't make the show feel empty or anything.

All in all, I liked the series. It definitely wasn't the best, as I was looking for some real shounen-ai with obvious romantical intentions, but it was way more enjoyable than the overall ratings given for it.

I'm not a professional, and since everyone pressed fail for Eunseo, it seems that they saw that he was lacking in something, but... I actually found his rap (well, as little as he could do in that time) good. The beat wasn't the best choice, but his rap was good imo.
For me, it was more EK who did good but I felt that he gave the same level as last year - and he got an all pass...

Aww, YoungB was so cute when he stood up clapping and cheering for Bryn after her all pass! :3 Loving crews' brother- and sisterhood.

Ookay, how did Dbo get an all pass? I sometimes have an entirely different idea about good rap and good rappers than the judges, lol.

LOOL, when Bully casually said "Excuse me! We're filming...", and Jiho started to behave and apologized... to a kid half his age... xDD

Ooooh, Team 21seventeen went hard! I really liked their energy, their matching voices - and they even made a hook! They did really good.
Oml, all my respect to those two guys who were in the same team as Jiho. I would've either forgot my lyrics or kicked his *ss for distracting me. Or both with a hint of angry shouting.
Aww, Yuja's teammates were really adorable trying to calm her worrying with kind words!
The first team for The Notorious B.I.G. beat was nice, but the second one... New Champ is basically the all-time Jiho on SMTM. I can't even remember how many times has he been here, and he just never changes. I really felt YunB's looks; he tried so hard not to curse New Champ out, you can see it in his eyes and facial expressions, omg. xD
Yunhway and Kim Seungmin did give a nice performance, but what's up with the girl including teriyaki in all her lyrics? xD It's at least the 2nd time I hear it on SMTM (maybe she did it in all 3 rounds tho), and even her 911 Remix part had that word in it.
Ooooooh, JukTank-Clan did goooood! Donutman was a delight to hear again.
The dancing team was good at lifting up the mood, but the only 2 good at rapping were EK and Woodie. Zene was especially disappointing for me.
I NEED A TEAM ICEBREAKER ALBUM ASAP! They were AMAZING!! Their hook was addictive, and all 3 of them killed it individually too.
Ohhohooo, the chemi in Team SwayDboJjangyou was crazy good! Although it was a shame that Sway D did a ton of repetitiveness in his lyrics, the whole team was really nice to listen to.

What? Kim Jin Pyo (and the subtitles too) said 87 rappers at the end, but at the beginning it was 88... Wtf, did someone quit midway? But then they would've edited that out and corrected the number before airing... right?
It's a bit sad tho that some people didn't make the cut not even for 1 sec... Olltii, that short, gray-haired girl, the pink-haired weird guy, Bully...

I'm still crying at Mnet roasting Mad Clown with the fire pit xD

Aaaw, gotta love SMTM for the moments like Sway D's, where people in the waiting room were jamming and singing/rapping along with him, and even the judges were kinda dancing in their seats! :3 (I still have my opinion about more famous rappers coming to SMTM, but these little chill moments always melt my heart.)
Anyway, both him and Zene killed it, and the difference between Zene and Woodie was HUGE since they chose the same beat and rapped the same chorus, so Zene stood out for me even more (in a good way, of course).

I'M F*CKING DONE WITH THIS SHOW xD When the legit English- and Spanish-speaking guy gave them names and Mnet just went full savage writing "마미ㅅ..." under Mad Clown... :'DD But it was really nice to hear a Korean speak English AND Spanish (from the looks of it) fluently.

OOOOH, Punchnello, my child! Just as expected.
I don't mean to be rude, but how is Swervy in a label? And not in a small one, either. Idk, her tone is boring, she doesn't really rap, she just talks a bit faster.

It was interesting to see Mattrix, or better, the way the judges immediately changed their expressions after he technically dissed them. It was kinda disappointing to see Swings, Boycold and some others laughing their *sses off at Mattrix's "performance". I don't think just shouting and an aggressive behaviour should get you anywhere in SMTM (or in life in general), and I was so glad and proud of BewhY when he almost immediately pressed fail on him. I guess the not-so-mature judges will face the consequences of not judging seriously when they'll meet this guy in the 3rd round (if they won't kick him off the show before that). :person_shrugging:

DaAMN, Yuja was awesome! She was so cute, and her little accent and chorus was super adorable! Though sadly I agree with Swings: if it was some other judge, they probably would've not given Yuja the necklace - hell, I don't think I would've given it to her judging only by that 1st round... I'm glad Boycold saw the potential or talent in her!

Loool, I'm crying at Seo Dong-hyun! xD He really is smart, and I can never say no to a good singing rapper. (And he also reminds me of OLNL. :D) The same goes for Veiniyfl, he did reeeally good at such a young age between all those older talents!
I'M ALSO CRYING AT BEWHY xDD It's really nice to see the judges just entertaining themselves and each other with these things. And no one dared to press fail to dance machine BewhY. :D

I'm kinda torn about Woo Jinyoung because I think his rapping skills are really good, but his tone is not right. I loved how he said the "camera zoom" part, I think that voice would suit his rap well, but all the other 99% of his rap was in a kinda shaky voice, so it wasn't the best to listen to. I'm not sure if this all was because of the cold or not, but being sick definitely didn't help him with his situation.
This is where the question pops up: if Mad Clown saved Yunhway just because he/they know she's capable of a lot more, why couldn't at least one of the judges not press fail on Jinyoung even though all of them seemed to know that he had a sore throat? Now, I agree with the decision made for Yunhway, but I certainly don't with the one made for Jinyoung.

Ooh, JJANGYOU was pretty surprising! I didn't think he had this much in him judging by the 1st round.
After hearing his story (which I hope is not just for the views), I like him even more. He seems like an honest and polite person. Also, his eyes kinda resemble pH-1-ie's, so that's an extra point for him. xD

These teams of 4 judges seem like uncalled-for complications this season. Why not stick with teams of 2? And even here, despite loving Kid Milli as a person, I have to agree with the negative reactions: he raps well, but I don't think he's judge-material. BewhY may be because he produces as well as he raps, so he can see both sides like Giri - but Kid Milli... Eh, we'll have to see.
Also, from these 8 judges, I'm only unfamiliar with Boycold and Millic, so I'll have to see them in action too to see how they are. I may have heard like one or two of their featurings (well, beats) in some songs, but otherwise than that, I don't know anything about them.

Whaaaaat?? GIRI! Choi Eunseo was great and you didn't even let him finish, but you passed that heart-shaped-haired, irritating-voiced kid??
And Milli?? Letting that nutcase Jiho advance?? Wtf is wrong with judges, smh.

Haha, Swervy seems a little bit off, but she's adorable waving to her labelmate oppas. xD

Ehh, EK... I think he did the same as (or maybe even worse than) in the previous season, so in Verbal Jint's place I may not have given him a necklace. I think if past contestants are allowed to participate in SMTM again, they have to show improved rap skills in order to advance so that the first-timers won't get that much of a disadvantage.
The same goes for YoungB, but his case is even more infuriating. Why tf just "come out because I was just bored and wanted to have some fun"??? Go to an amusement park, ffs... I hate this mentality in SMTM, especially at contestants who already advanced pretty far in a previous season. Just stay home if you're not going to take this seriously.

Aaand that last scene... Maybe don't show the middle finger to and insult the judges right before being judged by them... Some people are just plain stupid. :person_facepalming:

Oh, boy, finally this episode is translated too, so let's dive into those 2,5 hours (rip ㅠㅠ)!

I don't know how he does that, but from the very beginning, Nafla just seems to be super collected and confident. Not overconfident, just a surprising amount of confident in a situation like this. It's really attractive, especially if you look at his calm and humble expression compared to Kid Milli and Loopy's excitement.

It was weird that Kid Milli had 2 songs in the first round whilst Loopy and Nafla had only 1-1. I didn't really like the first two's songs, but that Nafla&Zico duo was something I'd never think of working out this well. They did good.

Loooool, Mommy Son is back! And OML, DONUTMAN, I liked him so much, but how many seasons ago was he on SMTM? xD

Haha, Loco and Loopy messing up the end a little bit... xD They were adorable, as usual.

Umm, is it wrong to like the eliminated rappers' song more than any of the top 3 this episode? :'D That was real hip-hop. Just simple beats and raw talent.

Well, since I already (accidentally) saw the outcome quite a long time ago, I wasn't surprised, but I still couldn't keep all my teardrops in my eyes. xD The interactions in the latest SMTM seasons - and especially this season - were really heartwarming. It's understandable that Zico advised to CoKun that he should try not to get attached to the contestants, but man, who can really do that if they spend so much time together working (and probably having fun too)? This might've been the first time when (almost?) all the contestants were chill and friendly with each other. Sure, there were some banters and healthy competings, but no one seemed to go even near that line that can't be crossed. I'm proud of what this Korean hip-hop community or big family is becoming thanks to SMTM.

Okay, umm, I've noticed it in the last episode too that Shi-gu mentioned Hao-ting's "girlfriend" (ouch), but I thought it was just teasing or idk... Does he really have a girlfriend who he (probably) doesn't even like? Back to the high school habits again, I see...

WAIT, WHAT? Shi-gu DIED?! I mean, I suspected it when Hao-ting first saw him (well, "him") from across that hall, but the scene in the café felt real, so I thought 'okay, this must be amnesia because of that accident'... I even noticed that Hao-ting's sister didn't see Shi-gu because the curtains blocked him from her vision, but if she did, she'd ask his brother about it... Oh, damn... The second half of the series was so happy, maybe even too happy, so I should've known they'd ruin it...
OH, and I just remembered...! It was really off when they talked in the café - I was watching Shi-gu's lips closely because his voice seemed weird... Oh, Lord...

The remembering back part hit me so hard I actually cried with Hao-ting. And when he was at Sun Bo too.

Oof, sorry, but that flashback when Hao-ting was in the car was me trying not to laugh at the word "dick" on Shi-gu's jumper. xD

Oh, man... I'm a bit more happier with this episode than with the last one. Sun Bo and uncle got their happy ending, finally being accepted by uncle's family. As of Hao-ting...
I'm torn again. Of course, I'd want him to love Shi-gu all his life since that romance is what this series offered us, and I liked it so much... But. If I distance myself from this storyline and think about this situation as a real-life one (which sadly happens to people irl), I'd root for Hao-ting to move on from Shi-gu just enough so that he can continue to live his life without mourning everyday. Not gonna lie, I was wondering if he killed himself or not when his mom tried to wake him up and he didn't come out of his room at first, and I thought that maybe if he couldn't bare the pain, that might've been the best solution for him. (I'm NOT nudging people here to commit suicide. Please, don't.) Seeing him starting the path of moving on was really hard, but he's young, he deserves another chance at love. Like he said, Shi-gu can't be replaced. But a new love never replaces the old one, imo. A new relationship maybe, but a new love definitely not.

Anyway, although I'm still trying to get my face together after this crying session, I definitely liked this closure better than what I imagined it to be like. And the fact alone that they made me invested in this couple so much that I actually cried (which is very rare) when I put the pieces together is impressive. That means they did good with the acting and the plot. So however sad I am for Shi-gu and Hao-ting, I can't downrate this last episode that made me feel all these emotions that Hao-ting felt. It was beautifully executed, and the very end made me a little bit hopeful and happy for Hao-ting that he's gonna be able to come out stronger - with time.

Okay, so let me get this straight. A seemingly totally normal child had a crush on another one - alright. About 10 years later, a serial killer told this child (now man) that he's his birthfather - fair enough. The now man child plotted a plan and started killing people because he felt betrayed about his adoptive parents lying to him, and also because of some silly, utopic kid thing his crush said to him 10+ years ago - umm...
I'm not an expert, but I think that "only" finding out that your parents are not your birthparents won't make you a nutcase. Henry seemed like a normal child, and I think that socio-/pshychopathic behaviour can be seen from early ages (but then again, I'm not a professional).
And for a delusional, sick person (as he showed his true self to Abby at the very end) to be able to act normally for 7(?) years without anyone noticing... And that he actually plotted, planned and acted this whole relationship with Trish for years, just to get Abby back on the island... Too surreal for a mentally ill person.
Not even mentioning him being in love with his half-sister... That's just... way out of the line. (And to think that I suspected that he'll dump his soon-to-be-wife for Abby when I saw their hug in the first episode... Ugh.)

I'm really sad that these illogical parts just continued, resulting in a dead Sally even though Henry literally changed to "I" from "he" when he spoke about Wakefield's child. (Oh, yeah, and he even admitted the killings and all that...)
The other two things that bothered me are Chloe's death (she could've easily climbed to the other side of the bridge, but even if she wanted to die after seeing Cal die, that water seemed deep enough for her to not die after that jump), and no one caring about Lucy(? the girl with the small dog). She fell into that trap, then her body was never again shown, so she might've even survived for all we know, lol. And who tf told people that Lucy went home or something like that without any proof? (Maybe Henry, but idk...)
Madison seemed like a smart child by some of her responses and reactions. Then why didn't she tell people about her lies earlier (or rather about the people who asked her to lie) to her mom? Why didn't she mention her "new friend" by his name, only when it was far too late?
And why did the police show photos of Abby, Jimmy and Henry too when they were telling the news to Shae? They said that they burned in the church too... without actually finding their bodies? Lol, pro work there.

The only thing I'm happy about is Abby and Jimmy's ending. But sadly if you think about it, they're the ones who have to live with the emotional and mental burden that Wakefield and Henry caused for the rest of their lives - especially Abby.
I'd loved to see a few extra minutes of an Abby&Jimmy and Shae&Maddy reunion tho.

Overall it was a series full of suspense and action, which was amazing, but I just can't make peace with all these issues in its logic.

The last few episodes didn't make much sense... This time and last time too it was multiple people against Wakefield, but he managed to come out on top? Even without any weapons in this episode? And why didn't at least one of them keep an eye on Wakefield in the cell? They caught the man who killed like 20 people, and they're not even going to be in the same room as him to be able to see if he's trying to escape? And Henry being the helper (and additionally Wakefield's son)...? Eh, just too many useless and illogical twists.

I wonder if I were to watch the series again from the beginning, could I notice Henry being sneaky or not present in some situations. Now that would be good directing. But right now I think that it's the opposite - people can't guess that it's (partly) him because he acts normal, he's among people, he's coming up with plans... He's playing his part perfectly.
I like thrillers/horrors more when the viewers can actually guess who the killer is, even when it's only near the end. Where people think back to the scenes and realize that that person actually behaved strangely, left a clue or wasn't present. But in this case, nothing comes to my mind that would indicate that Henry took part of this killing spree. Well, I guess I'll find out in the last episode...

Umm... Lizhen's grave says "beloved mother"? When she didn't even raise a kid? When her child didn't even know that she was his birthmother for 28 years? Lol.

This episode had 2 not-so-clear parts for me:
- Did Chen Wen-hao kill himself? Was that the gunshot? If so, why tf now that he found his son? And why did Tang Yi start to cry immediately after he heard the shot without even looking that way? Did he know that Chen Wen-hao would do that?
- Did Tang Yi go to jail at the end? Because he shot a police officer?

The kinda open ending was good and bad for me. The Jack&Shorty pair's story ended nicely (though I wouldn't have trusted Jack after hearing him say that he had a secret agenda, lying to his boss the whole time he was working there, lol); the girl&assistant pair was meh because I don't like the girl's attitude, plus they didn't have many scenes together (or individually) for me to be invested in their relationship. And our main pair had a cute ending, but I'd loved to see a short scene after the credits or a even a whole bonus episode for when Tang Yi comes out of jail(?).

Tang Yi and Shao-fei's actors had a strangely great chemistry - this was maybe my first time feeling that I'm actually watching two straight men in love with each other. Their gazes, touches and kisses with each other felt so natural, but their characters weren't those "typical gay characters" like that doctor or Andy, acting over-the-top or girly or idk. Both of them were manly, stubborn, but also just the perfect amount of emotional.

Eh... I kinda like the Two/Un relationship, but they didn't do much together for Un to be able to feel actual love towards Two. There was the laptop thing (where Two hated Un), a work "together" (where Two continued to hate him), a meal and the play (where Two just took photos of all the people).
This is a common mistake in Thai series: they try to fit in at least 3 couples in a series that only has around 12x45min episodes, so maybe the main pair will get enough screentime and get a decent story, but the others not. (Well, in most cases, even the main pair doesn't get enough screentime because of the additional pairs. It's a vicious circle.)

OMG, the part where Third agrees to be Khai's boyfriend and hugs him is so natural! And the very last part too, where they do the little pecks! :3 [Edit: Okay, I've read comments saying that apparently Off (Khai's actor) confirmed that this pecking scene wasn't in the script, he just went for it. So yeah, no wonder why did it feel more natural... :'D] I'd loved this kind of acting throughout the whole series... I kinda 100% got it from Third's actor (Gun), but Off was a bit meh.
Loving that Bone didn't get a happy ending with Paan, though it would've been better IMO to not pair him up with some random girl at the end. 2 successful pairs out of 3 is still a good ratio, and although Thailand is the land of smiles, they have to start to portray sad love endings too at some point... :D

Overall, the actings were decent, Gun, Lynn's and Paan's actress were amazing. (Lol, forgot to mention that poor Lynn's actress got a role similar to May in SOTUS, being dumped/rejected by a guy for another guy. xD)
The scenes were beautiful, but my personal favourites were the soundtracks. Those were top.
Like I mentioned, I'd loved to see more special moments of the pairs, as I could only connect well with Third and Khai's story. Maybe a sequel with the Two/Un couple would be nice, but seeing that they didn't even get a kiss scene here, I think the actors weren't up to much gayness in their roles (especially Two's actor, since Earth (Un's actor) has had a lead role in Waterboyy, another Thai BL).

OML, Third's actor almost made me tear up with his acting... Damn, that boy is good at expressing emotions.

Khai f*cked up once again. Everyone believed in him, but he had to kiss a girl anyway. Even though this wasn't the second nor the third chance Third gave to Khai, this would've been the last straw for me. No love is worth getting hurt these many times.
And lol, wtf is that with barging into Third's home, tacking him so he wouldn't escape, then say "maybe we should talk when we're not this heated"?? Like... dude... You made things wrong, you made things heated, but you won't explain yourself after making things even worse?

Big shoutout to Bone for handling this situation in the most mature way possible (well, except for following Gap, lol). I have my doubts about Gap (he cheated on Paan) - I definitely wouldn't marry him, but I also wouldn't go out with my student, so... Maybe a second try to a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship between Paan and Gap?

I just can't feel sorry for Khai. First of all, if it was the girl who forced herself onto him, why didn't he push her away? (Luckily I've never been in that situation before, but I just can't imagine that I'd be too stunned to not push the other person away.) Second of all, why didn't he explain this to Third when he went over to him? It just had to be a simple sentence, but no, he stalled then acted as if everything was fine. Third of all, who tf is dumb enough to wait half a day for people on the train station? 1 hour, that I can accept, but from morning until the sky turns black? No one is that idiot.

I haven't seen that much of Kid Milli IRL (just from this show, basically), but he seems a bit shy and reserved. He was so adorable with his mother!
IDK if just the video's quality was sh*t or not, but I could barely hear any of the music during Kid Milli's performance. It was kinda lame.
I've never heard of Seo Samuel, but he was super cute with OLNL. :3

At first I was really against Superbee (and other past contestants) participating in SMTM777, but as I watched one episode after another, I saw how much he matured. Not just rap-wise, more personality-wise. I'm glad he's changed in a positive way, and maybe that's a bit unfair against the other contestants, I'm also glad that he wanted to prove on SMTM that he's not an arrogant bad guy.
DAAamn, Superbeewhy is a duo that I would never have expected, and also a duo which I'm living for, apparently. They made a really great performance together.

If I were ever be famous, I aspire for Code Kunst's continuous chill even in front of the cameras. He's a legend.

Oh, Lord, Loopy with SsamD... Man, that was a low blow. How could I decide between this duo and the Superbeewhy duo??? They were both per-to-the-fect.
I usually don't like SsamD's verses/songs because he has a flow which I can't really find the rhymes in (and the lines are mostly don't even have the same number of syllables), but here he showed that he's capable of rapping in a "normal" way. :D Kinda the same goes for Loopy: I listened in some of his songs, I didn't like them, but I think I loved every performance/verse of his in SMTM, where he's a bit more "limited" beat- and freedom-wise.

Lool, Changmo's comment about Loopy having the power to turn men gay... xD Can't say I disagree, but I could name a few more people to be able to do that from this show. :'D
Aww, and Changmo and The Quiett's son-father relationship with Changmo acting shocked and mad wanting a hug from TQ when he saw him hugging Superbee... xD So cute.

I partied so hard when Orange came in since I've seen/heard it on pH-1's IG stories, but OH, it was still amazing to watch and listen to! The dancing bit was so cool and cute too!
OMG, poor pH-1-ie, how fast his smile disappeared when Jay Park said he suspected that he would lose (the first round of voting) against Nafla... xD

Aaah, Superbee... :c But at least the difference between the votes was true to my expectations. Both of the duos did awesome.
