In this episode of Check It/Round Table Onna discusses Love by Chance 2, Ep 7 and why this is Onna's favorite episode so far because  Ae really shines in this episode and because of the issues brought to light and how Can deals with those issues.  This episode opens with Tin asking Can to go steady with him, and Can is not sure about this development and his honesty in not wanting to be in relationship with Tin because he fears that he and Tin would break up, ending up sad like Ae.  Ae then comes to Can as this show progresses and addresses these fears of Can with a simplicity and honesty that Can can understand, which is again, another "Ode to Ae," moment.  Onna considers how Tin's response to why he likes Can is because Can "helps him breathe," which is kind of true on an emotional level as Can is the only one Tin feels comfortable being emotionally honest with.

Onna considers that as this episode progresses, Ae is looking at Tin and Can and their "avoidance issues"  and though he realizes that they are definitely not the ideal couple he realizes that they are both going a bit crazy and in their case, unlike Ae, both parties are still present, and can have that conversation with the other parties even though they may not understand what they are feeling and going through.  Onna really likes Ae in this scene as he points out how the present allows for change and also does not sugar coat things by telling Can this will resolve everything as honestly, even if Tin and Can do get together, they are bound to have a great many problems to work through, just like everyone else on the planet.

The concluding scene where at the suggestion of Ae, Tin comes to Can's soccer/football game because Ae states to Tin that though Can may not be able to verbalize his emotions Tin needs to be there for him.  At the end of the game, Can is crying because the game was lost as Can is trying to deal with his emotions and weeping and Tin gives him a hug and has to figure out, similarly to Can, how to express his care as both have to deal with things they both don't know how to handle and they deal with them well.  Viewers also have a throwback scene to Love by Chance when Pete and Ae become a couple in the same place Can admits he really does like TIn.  Onna considers how though the timeline for Tin and Can's relationship timeline is totally different than Love by Chance, the interesting thing is in Love by Chance Pete is instrumental in Tin and Can's relationship and in Love by Chance 2, Ae is instrumental in Tin and Can's relationship.

Onna finishes this podcast with a digression concerning why people block certain things, and how it is not always for the obvious reasons the other party may think as sometimes people block/avoid things because they are trying to protect the other party because they don't want the other party to be hurt and they don't know how to handle that any way but to block, and would rather have the other party mis-perceive their actions because if they understood, they might jump the block and potentially come to harm.  And how the BL genre does ask questions such as this that other genres don't ask.   It's all here.  It's all real.
