hahahahhaa fuuuuuck me

Charn agrees with me and Charn has more sense than the rest of them put together

Even if he is dealing with the shake-up of his own "past lives are in the past" principles

Pharan is softening in the light of competition and the gentle but ruthless smackdown Khem handed him earlier, but it's too late. This is the .75 episode stretch where I'm Team Pong.

#gbkhemjira

Jet watching this showdown is having the best day of his life

#gbkhemjira

AND we have beautiful Nammon in the world's second smallest t-shirt here to remind us that if Pharan doesn't want Khem for himself there are plenty of other eligible offers.

#gbkhemjira

Yesss it's No More Mr. Nice Khem hours! Coffee and handmade cushions are for NICE men who treat him RIGHT.

#gbkhemjira

Heartbreaking to see Jin blaming herself for Khemmika's death. You know Jet would have done the same if Khem didn't make it.

#gbkhemjira

The cut to Rampheung's past is so chilling even when you don't know exactly what is happening.

And then Grandma Si speaking to her. Complicating our understanding of who she is at this point is so effective.

#gbkhemjira

And Khem, of course, is sure this is happening because Rampheung followed him here.

#gbkhemjira

Khem having his peak "men ain't shit" moment with this dude in their community house call.

I love how in both outside cases, we're led to think that a ghost is causing a tragedy but it turns out to be fully human in origin.

#gbkhemjira

Yeahhhh there it is. Pretty much yelling at Khem that he won't eat his food, /in front of his friends./ Being beautiful will only get you excused for so much.

#gbkhemjira

I did not realize on first watch how this scene with his mom directly ties to Pharan's coldness toward Khem, which hits its infuriating peak later in this episode (as I recall). It's still a couple episodes before we realize his deepest reason for resisting Khem is fear of loss.

#gbkhemjira

I understand him completely

that man will find or invent whatever loophole he needs

I respect him immensely

Everyone loves to cancel a Friday afternoon meeting

I have the opposite problem, mine was all khemjira and I was like, well we knew that

I've learned so much from praise and enthusiasm! I have a tendency to overcorrection and self-doubt, so learning what I generally do well was essential - otherwise I'd have ruined those things by trying too hard to "fix" them

I do not think I am unusual in this

yeah it was EXCRUCIATING
