As Beautiful as You Episode 12

Still wondering where the show is going with the ML's character

So this episode ends with the ML still not apparently understanding that how he acted towards Ji Xing at the start of the episode was seriously wrong. That it was insulting and physically intimidating her. That he has acted like an arrogant bully. And that maybe he didn't have all the information to justify how he acted so angry with her. Because he didn't have all the information. Yes, she made a mistake by not immediately correcting any misunderstandings pumped up by Li Li - but Ji Xing wasn't actually present when Li Li pumped up her relationship with Han Ting. So she was caught way off guard. Now, once she realized, she should have corrected things. But that mistake in no way shape or form justifies being insulted and bullied the way Han Ting did. Frankly, his character so far is ridiculous. He is not a likable character at all because he is so elitist and condescending. He is _constantly_ insulting the FL and I don't see how anyone thinks a normal, self-respecting woman would be attracted to that. As I said in my last review, just re-imagine him doing and saying all the things that he does if he was not handsome. If he was some dumpy, creepy-looking guy, how would you feel about his actions? Now, the ML did have some staring-into-space moments where maybe, just maybe, he is introspecting and questioning his own behavior. But up to the end of this episode he is still consistently a jerk.
