BALL BOY TACTICS Episode 4

[mostotherthings]

I can't be the only one who feels

- Any other Thai production company: I am here for a FUN time and accept most flaws to BL shows because of TROPES and BRANDED PAIRS

- BOC: I will overanalyse every single shot and word in the trailer- build up my expectation for a ARTSY and DEEP script and show and be prepared to criticise everything, especially the ending. I will make sure the world knows exactly what i dont like about the show and especially its probably Pond's fault.

Food, Love Language, Love Scout

With the work I do, i fully believe that carbs and sugar is a way of defeating stress (some days, i hit 15k - 20k steps Mon to Fri, and work from 7am onwards) I cannot explain how many long days have been saved by delivery of bubble tea and fried dough fritters with soy milk.

So this show, where eating, EATING and talking through problems as you eat or talking about your feelings as you eat, or discussing matters as you eat or have coffee- is really making me very happy.

I've also seen some comments saying, that as a secretary, Eun-ho is beholden to the person who pays his salary, that's why he works so hard and does all those extra things for Ji-hyun.

I agree that he works very, very hard. But there's a lot A LOT of things he does where he crosses the line first because he's not thinking of Ji-hyun as a job, he's thinking of her as a human he wants to take care of. (And THIS is Eun-ho's love language from the get go)

Look. No male colleague in the office has ever done the following things for me, whether he is my boss or my subordinate, no matter how close we are because THERE ARE LINES, YOU KNOW

He holds his hand over her head to protect it as she digs for documents (this causes him to be very close, a little bit too close a distance between a boss and subordinate)

He placed a plant right in her line of sight when she's working. Not flowers. a PLANT (that needs to be watered;fertilized; pruned)

He takes care of her belongings- including the bags she's tossing always, her pens, her shoes etc.

He buys her new hair ties (in one of the scenes, he gives her a hair tie that obviously Byeol's. Later on, he gives Byeol a hair tie that's obviously NOT Byeol's.)

He buys her things that he knows she likes to coax her to eat (this is a big one for me, even Mi-ae doesn't do this and they've been best friends forever! Mi-ae is at the point of friendship where ok you're a disaster, I can't fix you and I'll nag you to death but here's a secretary to save our personal AND working relationship before I stop working for you, which was very adult of her)

And of course, the latest episode where he puts himself and his career on the line by telling a very influential person - no, my boss is not going to do this for you. Or is it, my woman is not going to do this for you, huh?

And I know this is just a tiny tiny tidbit, but this got me

His rabokki is regular spicy. Hers are FIRE level spicy. That cartoon is literally on fire.

Look there has only ever been one person I've worked with who remembers exactly what my bubble tea order is and which kind of curry puffs I prefer (fish ones)- and even she has to think a bit before she remembers it. I myself had a boss who liked level 5 spicy things, I honestly WOULD NOT remember if I was buying ramen for her, I'll just end up buying the same 2 cups of ramen and that's done.

The point the show is telling you is not that he's working hard because he's beholden to her- he's mixing up his private and work thoughts together and it's meshing together into the "special" way he treats her. (He doesn't treat any of the other ladies, including Mi-ae, who he has known for a long time, like this, or Jung Writer that way)

It's going to the start of the angsts now that the makjang plot line has set in (fire, father, survivor's guilt) but BOYYYY does this show hit all my buttons. I really like this show at the moment. Hope it sticks the landing! (unlike, coughcough whenthephonerings)

Hurt and comfort, yasssss....

MY SON'S HURT!!!

on another note, I think this is the only show I've watched in recent history where someone actually tells someone NOT to touch the patient unnecessarily after a syncope episode

kudos to the white shirt guy!

always got to love that crow in the background. Japan gotta stay Japan. "did he just call me his father" LOL always a classic

my favourite series of shots. Fuma says the sunflowers look upward into the sky- a reminder for Kai to know that the wind always looks at the sun... ok I don't really get it.

But after the talk, Kai lies down and his face, like the sunflowers, are bathed in the sun. *chef's kiss*

Idiots

IDIOTS THEY ARE

(FOOLS, IN LOVE)

Anyway the next part I think they spliced the shots so there was a bit of continuity issue with the buns, but I liked how when Fuma talked about his family, he put the extra green bun he had onto the plate near to Kai

He's offering his family- to be Kai's family?

Kai pushes it back before leaving through- including the lonely bun that's supposed to be him- still on Fuma's plate

Very much was said about this clothing choice so I won't say anymore. Got to admire that added commitment of adding the bag over whatever he was already wearing

In the original series, I was extremely, extremely not a big fan of the trauma again at the end of the series with the kidnapping and all. I know I have to face it here (and in Japan-style) but... can I hope for a bit of... a longer bit of happy bliss? maybe 5 mins of the episode at least? When it all ends?

I talk a lot about Kai (Nagatsuma Reo), who has surprised me because he's able to really pull off those looks and nuances in the show, but hey Fuma (Suzuki Asahi) is no slouch. I like their chemistry! And they're apparently friends in real life!

HSSSSSSSSSSS MOREE PLSSSSSS

[mostotherthings]

Look, I didn't ask to adopt a sassy son, it just happened!

like, for realz

I mean, how can you not like this face

He's just a boy, trying his best

(He's talking to his Dad on the line; he's fixing outdated t-shirt designs, he's ignoring Fuma's messages...)

He has some serious trauma

He's got his own set of rules

but he's in pain

(I knew Japan was going to go for max damage with those scenes and they thoroughly killed it but did they have to do that and hurt my son - and me- like that)

How can you not love a boy who tries so hard? I can't wait for the next few scenes- GIVE US WHAT WE WANTSSSS

a happy Kai

delectable hurt/comfort scenessssss
