Gen Z Episode 9

A quiet but moving, educational episode

This episode deals mainly with the emotional trauma of Chen Ying and Zhu Xia. How each finally starts to heal from the emotional damage of the accident when Chen Ying's car hit Ding Jian Xi. And the lesson about the importance of healing from one's anger is delivered in purified form of a very nice lecture by Professor Ren towards the end. On the surface, it's kinda cheesy. But the way the episode plays out it works very well. This episode also marks the actual first steps forward in Ren Tian Zhen's growth as a person since the show began and, along with that, actual forward progress of a relationship between he and Sun Tou Tou. Sun Tou Tou herself shows increasing respect for her master and an innate understanding of his lessons. Very subtly, her character is changing. Her posture is taller, more upright in more scenes, making her look more and more like a competent young lady rather than the hunched-over wild ruffian she used to be. Oh - and a low-key cool side bit seems the quiet emergence of Meng Meng and Ding Jian Xi as potential besties. They immediately look cute as friends. Maybe this can start to ween Meng Meng of emotional dependency on RTZ?
