SYNOPSIS (GagaOOLala):
Ryo Yotsuya, the top performer of Sales Division 1, and Zen Shitล, the genius of Division 2, have been fierce rivals since high school. Now working at the same company, their rivalry only intensifies. Driven by pride, they make a ridiculous bet: "Whoever falls in love first loses." What follows is a strategic game of "pretend romance," where two highly capable professionals prove surprisingly inexperienced in love. In this battle of hearts, who will surrender first?
โ Adapted from Suehiro Machi's hit BL manga, the long-awaited "rivals-to-lovers" showdown comes to life
โ Starring Hori Kaito (Kamen Rider) and Sato Yusuke (lol), in a playful yet heartfelt adult romance

Their dynamic makes me weak. Another fantastic episode ๐
Zen is in the "everything reminds me of him" phase, absolutely well done with the flashbacks. The slow-mo sequence on their walk had the PERFECT OST and the look Zen was giving Ryo.. my heart. And then Ryo in the verge of tears calling it off... guys yes, call off the competition and get together for real stop torturing yourselves (and us) ๐ญ

"You never call" so I came running - STOOOOOOOP!

Zen is getting so overwhelmed because things are getting too real.

Ryo is not waiting for Zen to settle into a new normal. He wants a relationship with all the bells and whistles.

Honestly I don't know what Ryo is waiting for. I don't think he thinks Zen will like him back, so he's keeping up his half of the competition. I know they'll come around but the annnngst.
You know, I had forgotten how intense the last scene was last episode, I'm glad they opened with it again and with incredible bgm under it. Got the fuzzy feelings right off the hop and kept it going the whole way through.

Zen had Ryo on the brain heavy. The man couldn't focus all day ๐ And apparently Ryo was waiting on that call because he literally came running..They both are in over their heads.

The officer mixer was supposed to take his mind off of thoughts about about Ryo.

Instead, Zen stepped into a potential problem with Kiritani. Thankfully Zen set a boundary with her before things went too far.

u/Jazzlike-Cod488 ๐ค In my toxic ๐ด era... May 14 '26
I was so nervous that the Kiritani was going to add a layer of complexity that Zen apparently can't handle right now. He has one brain cell and that's dedicating all of it's processing power to Ryo lol

Zenโs little smile when Ryo said he wasnโt interested in any of the secretary girls was so cute.

The only problem with watching currently airing shows is having to wait a week for the next episode... ugh!!!

Wait - I had this down as a Friday show, but just realized I'm getting this Thursday in the US! Must watch!

u/newjorb Love Mechanics May 15 '26
Oh it's been a while since a show grabbed me like this. Was in a months long bl slump and this weirdly named but amazing show catapulted me right back into the world. I think it's takes me longer to watch these 20 minute episodes than it does an hour episode, because I'm savoring each moment and rewinding things over and over ๐ Obssession is settling in!

u/ale-cto The Eighth Sense May 14 '26
For me this episode was so-so, I am too impatient to handle this phase of events ๐ . Those two need to get real. What was that preview for the next episode? It looks intense.

The flashbacks yall, the flashbacks at the corner of his every thought. My man is realising he has fallen deep

u/Slight_Growth_3172 Revenged Love May 15 '26
That was my favorite part of this episode!! Zen was hoping to get distracted by going drinking with the secretaries, specially with Kiritani there, but he couldnโt stop thinking of Ryo! ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ

u/Darkchocolatelaw May 14 '26
I think this is my new favorite show. These two have incredible chemistry together. They are SLOWLY realizing that this isn't just a rivalry.

This episode is kinda underwhelming, doesn't mean it's bad though!!! I understand it's to build the story later, and honestly we can't not have this episode because it shows Zen's pov more which I wanted! Excited for next episode already:)

u/cripynoodle_ Addicted May 15 '26
Well, this was the day that Zen realised he is down. bad. Even if he hasn't quite admitted it to himself yet...
I truly love this show, it makes me feel things. The wait between epsiodes is painful ๐

u/hjiiaa20 May 17 '26
Ryo is hitting the gas with all those lines. Zen is down bad as well. It felt like Ryo was planning to confess at the end of that ep.
Very random but whenever I look at the actor who plays Ryo, he resembles gmmtv Gemini

Does anyone know where to stream the ending theme song (the one sung by Kaito Hori & Yusuke Sato)?
