Look I’m not saying that Ramil and Paytai are, like, couple goals (lol) but come on Khanin uses his power to manipulate Charan all the time. Khanin is a little gremlin, he had his royal position for, what, days? When he immediately used it to order around Charan, completely disregarding Charan’s autonomy. And I’m not condemning him for doing that. He’s a fictional character and his actions are making the show interesting. So like, continue being a little diva Khanin. But if you’re gonna moralise Ramil and Paytai, especially if you take the stance that their BDSM in the bedroom is proof of them being toxic, problematic, awful, etc, then steer that energy into the other couples as well.

Kim's physical strength

Kim "holds back against a special alpha, overpowers men twice his size, needs two trained bodyguards to keep him contained even when injured, manhandles Kenta constantly, stronger than he looks" Minsu

KimKenta's First Kiss

There's a lot that's already been said about this scene that I don't feel the need to rehash, but I do want to add my two cents to a conversation I keep seeing about whether Kim is strong enough to overpower Kenta, or whether Kenta gave in. Because my answer is "both things are true why are we even having this conversation."

I think it’s important to note that while yes, Kenta was not lashing out at Kim with the intent to injure him during their fight, it’s not because he’s necessarily stronger than Kim. Kim has continually been portrayed as stronger than he looks, and he’s enough of a fighter that he could hurt Kenta if he wanted to.

But also, it's not even that Kenta isn't trying to hurt Kim, it's that he's not attacking Kim at all—he’s trying to push Kim away. And Kim won’t let him.

Instead, he immediately deflects Kenta’s second shove, getting his wrists in between Kenta’s hands to push them out of the way—he’s a fighter, he knows defensive techniques—and then he grabs onto Kenta and refuses to let go.

Time after time this season, Kim refuses to let Kenta isolate himself. He doesn't let Kenta run off by himself to see Pete, he rescues him when he does go off alone, and here, when Kenta tries to physically push him away, Kim immediately disarms that attempt.

It's why the moment when Kenta tells Kim to trust him in Tony's lair is so pivotal. Because Kim has spent this entire season trying to stay by Kenta's side, and Kenta finally gets him to let go by playing on Kim's desire to establish trust between them. Because part of that trust means giving Kenta the right to choose, even when it kills Kim inside. Because Kim may be assertive and domineering, but that doesn't mean he wants to control Kenta.

Tony would have demanded Kenta sacrifice himself. Pete demanded Kenta not go at all. Kim knows he has to let Kenta make this choice. And Kenta knows he can insist because it's not the first important choice Kim has given him that day either.

When they finally kiss, Kenta immediately goes still, he stops fighting—and Kim does the same. Kim stops fighting too, he stops pushing, he holds himself right there. He lets Kenta read his intentions without taking anything from Kenta. He doesn’t deepen the kiss when he could, even when his mouth is twitching against Kenta’s, when he wants to do more. Kenta submits, and Kim does not take advantage of that, and that is so important. He lets his grip up, he caresses Kenta's hands, he gives Kenta the space to reject him.

Kenta's submission in this moment is meaningful, but not because Kim is weaker than him and Kenta could easily throw him off—it's because Kim gives him the choice to push him away. And Kenta stays there until Kim ends the kiss, he doesn't pull away until after Kim asks him to consider his feelings.

Kim isn’t strong because Kenta lets him be strong—he’s strong because he is strong, both in his body and in his will, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Kenta gives in to him.

I’ve said this before, but KimKenta are so complimentary to each other, and it’s really important to understand how the concept of balance plays into their dynamic, both in their physicality and in their personalities. Both of them are strong. Both of them are stubborn. Both of them are falling for each other. Kim has a domineering personality, but that doesn’t mean he's controlling, and while Kenta may often submit to others, he’s not going to be a puppet anymore—and this is part of what makes them so good with each other.

As much as I love my high school BLs and university BLs, nothing beats watching a BL with grown ass men playing actual adults. Ooooh look that guy’s got a job and everything.

I love this moment so much.

Dom-drop is extremely real, and it doesn't always happen at the end of a session during the aftercare phase. It can happen literally any time, with all the emotions that go full blast during sex.

I love that he absolutely crashes out of Dom mode. I love that Paytai sees it and is just there, holding his hand, not trying to force Ramil back into his Dom state, but just being there for him.

Holding his hand while Ramil comes down, and sharing the pain Ramil feels. Not going "I'm fine", but Paytai actually looks sad. He knows why Ramil is hurting, and he won't pretend it doesn't hurt him too.

Kissing the hand Ramil uses to hold him down, letting Ramil know it's okay, he's here because he loves him. Every side of him. Paytai giving Ramil the aftercare he needs even while they're still having sex. Kissing the Dom who fled into Ramil's shadows.
