After the CheckOut IcexTee special episode, I'm so incredibly salty they didn't give us enough Ice Tee for those 12 shitty episodes. Ice and Tee are so adorable, and even their kisses are so much hotter than Daonuea and Nine! I guess it's because the chemistry between the Ice and Tee actors is really good. They deserve another series to them. FYI though, Boat's desk needs to be sanitized, it has seen too many things.LOL
So, I apologize for taking so long to get to this. The idea of watching more Check Out just kind of... did me in for a while, honestly. But I've finally sat down to take the plunge back in. So you can have a bit more of a live watch. Also, alas, I cannot comment on acting chemistry. Just the plot and characters.
And they really, really should have been given more screen time. They're genuinely adorable and Tee's urge to take care of Ice while Ice is like 'dude, I am capable of caring for myself' is such a nice contrast to how Daonuea handled... everything.
I really did love his little imaginary date with Ice talking about Singapore and the idea of being missed was so very cute it hurt me a little.
Ah, yes, the random part that's not subbed and why I stopped watching the first time around. Why isn't this subbed? I remember getting here and giving in and hoping it would be subbed someday. Nope. But also they're still adorable. Tee is smitten and Ice seems mostly just confused and I appreciate that.
I do deeply appreciate that Ice is just so lost as to Tee hitting on him. What a great contrast to Daonuea and Nine's BS. But poor Tee, he really knows how to pick 'em, doesn't he?
Poor Tee's jealousy and sadness. He spends so much time being heartbroken because he has this awful habit of liking people who either like other people or are just super oblivious to him. I do really like Tee. He's probably still my favorite character from the entire show just as a whole, honestly.
lol and the way Nice just looks at Tee amuses me deeply. Oh, Ice, you're an idiot and Tee definitely knows how to pick them. Poor Tee, the guy he doesn't like has a crush on him and the guy he does like is totally and utterly oblivious to him.
No hesitation, this episode has brought me the most emotion towards the characters in the entire series. Tee asking Ice to stop setting him up with other people and Ice taking that very personally against himself even though it's Tee desperately wanting him... Ugh.
And, of course, an immediate comedy scene to ruin the emotions. Ah, Check Out, you can't help yourself.
I wish we hadn't had such a pointless 'leaving the phone behind' comedy scene. Unneeded.
But otherwise, they really are cute and I wish they'd had more time during the show itself. Working this dynamic in alongside the Daonuea and Nine would have been amazing, honestly. To watch Tee struggle with his love for Daonuea that's falling apart, his growing care for oblivious Ice and then Ice constantly trying to set him up with other people while Tee has already fallen for him... why were we robbed.
The special is definitely the best episode of the series. Pretty much the only part worth watching, tbh.
