Love Is Sweet Episode 9

Too careless to be believable.

I never like to victim blame and she's not at 'fault', but Jiang Jun was incredibly foolish to go visit Wan Shan alone and then come back on foot alone in the dark. Her character never struck me as this stupid before so this feels like plot-induced stupidity to create the drama moment. This whole sequence just seemed contrived and poorly written. Then the next sequence with Xu Li going to campus to stalk Riley Wang's character was also stupid. No savvy computer nerd walks away and leaves their laptop screen unlocked like that. And really, the whole Xu Li + Xiaochuan storyline is just not interesting. Too carrtoonish, cringe and weird. This episode goes further south with the cheap setup that Du pulls off to get Jiang Jun mad at Yuan Shuai and sympathizing for him. So obviously contrived and the writing makes JJ look more stupid again. The writers have totally suspended her common sense and critical thinking in this episode. The funny/romantic/cute scenes at the end of the episode between JJ & YS almost make up for it, but it's hard to forgive that much junky plot shenanigans.
