Ode to Joy Episode 30

The whole Fan-jie story really frustrates…

The whole Fan-jie story really frustrates me. I guess because of my past experience with friends, seeing someone self-destruct and unable to think clearly, and too stubborn to reflect is the thing I can't handle most. It's only because I care about her character that I can't stand her treating herself like that.

Although I found the way Andi tried to handle the situation and "help" was the worst way possible. In these situations I feel like Andi is such a kid. She's still my fave and I understand her most. On one hand she feels she has so do something, on the other, she feels there's nothing she can do.

Weiwei... there are some things about him I'm starting to discover and dislike. Basically he's pretty judgemental of women, and for him they can screw themselves over for all he cares. For him it seems like it's to each his own. If someone isn't as smart and capable even though they are trying, he acts like he's nice to them but in reality he looks down on them (Yingying).

That brings us to Yingyins and Xiaoxiao. I'm loving their friendship. I guess what I love most is their frankness to each other. Yingying might be dense and not smart, but I she has factors that totally redeems her. She's optimistic, accepts criticism and reflective. She's also very committed. Even though she's not bright, her mind is like a sponge ready to absorb and grow. Xiaoxiao is the best at pushing her to the right direction with her blunt and honest criticism. And I can see that despite what she initially thought of Yingying she's starting to change her mind. I hope I'm right.

As for Guanguan.. she's got no chance. I mean he even finds Andi boring (how dare you!! :P) I think it's more of a fantasy, as she's realizing that person isn't what she initially thought of him before.
