Hmm, this episode had surprisingly decent amount of emotions despite no piano performance. The results really means a lot to certain people.

On the other hand, I think the competition showed enough of the talents what they're capable of.

Lol. Super weird logics of that one judge. But at least he recognized that himself and it seems the others didn't follow his plan.

My thoughts exactly. Those Polish ones especially, I dunno why they're even allowed to be judges in their own native countries, of course they're gonna be biased and pull some fishy shit

Man I almost cried at the end of the episode. Really happy for Amamiya to accept the results and look forward to the future, as well as coming in terms with his complicated feelings towards Kai. The last scene with him and his father was quite touching. They have a lot of things to say to each other, and all they have is time :)

It was really sad though when Amamiya lashed out at Kai, and Kai saying that he had always guessed Amamiya's true feelings towards him, but had decided to ignore it. It must hurt a lot, for him to really like Amamiya and his piano, yet being rejected by Amamiya. Amamiya wasn't not affected by Kai's reaction though, which showed that there's no way he only hated Kai. I wonder if the "fight" will affect Kai's playing during the finals? Unless, hopefully, Amamiya apologizes to Kai and they make up.

Also, that Lech guy was nasty :( Can't believe he told Kai to congratulate Amamiya. Rude ass kid.

I am so glad Kai passed! He is a wonderful pianist, I would've questioned the judges even more if he did not make it to the finals.

Shuhei's argument with Kai got pretty intense. I guess Shuhei's emotions took over which is understandable now the grand finale is around the corner. Too bad he couldn't be happy for Kai though, and treated him as his rival instead of his childhood friend. It broke my heart to see Kai bursting into tears like that. I am wondering if this argument will affect their performance during the finals.

I think Shuhei running away was kinda stupid. But it made his father think about the way he treats his son which is good I think. Well, al least it was nice to see Shuhei going back to his childhood memories and realise that he wouldn't be a professional piano player if he didn't met Kai all those years ago. Even though he has been resenting him all along...

This was a good episode. I can't wait for the finals to see more of Wei Pang, Shuhei and Kai!

I just had to come here to rant because honestly i just can't take it anymore. I absolutely despise Shuuhei. This entire season has been a pain to watch just because he's in it.

I even desperately wished he passed just so 1) i wouldn't have to see more of his dad's griping and 2) so that i wouldn't have to see more Shuuhei angst. Like seriously this kid projects nothing but negatively. I don't pity or support him whatsoever. He's just an eyesore. Nothing about him is likeable. Nothing.

I don't even think any one scene could redeem him. Even jumping in front of a bus to save Kai or an injured puppy couldn't redeem him in my eyes. He's completely unlikeable.

and I wasn't expecting Lech to suddenly turn into such a conniving asshole.

Thank you,that guy is a whinny little asshole,his inner monologue prove this sorry he even says stupid things out loud also how would you call your so called friend your enemy rivals and enemy is not the same what did Kai ever did to you except help you with bullies and befriended you then he claims that he alone works hard and everyone else is just geniuses who don't practice ,he also goes around calming he has such a hard life when his greener pastures is obviously better.I just cant stand him and the way he treats Kai.

that moment seemed so out of character for Lech, he normally seems like such a sweet kid i was so confused at what i was watching tbh :(

i can't believe Shuhei made Kai cry ;-; but i guess that confrontation was necessary for him to get all his feelings out so he can finally stop being emo and get over his rival complex completely now lol ... i really did like all the moments with his dad too ahh i love a good redemption arc :')

Man i can't help but hate Amamiya.
If anything, i hate him more than season 1.

Lach came out as a nice kid but he's also trash...
Pang Wei is much better than them.

I wonder if there's an actual Chopin competition or something comparable, which is broadcasted on the same level as this competition.
