Sunshine through the Rain Episode 15

The kiss that didn’t count

The foursome had a fun meeting and cousin snuck in some beer. Zheng Yu acts cute and is much more forward in complimenting YanZhou. Here I am not a fan of the alcohol drunken kiss trope. This caused misunderstandings. I like how she tried to get the mom to understand YanZhou was allergic to eggs. It did not register with her but Yanzhou noticed she took the dish with eggs so he wouldn’t be pressed to eat it. I am already damn tired of the cling on lab partner. Literally planting himself in the middle is tiresome. I grinned at Yanzhou interrupting senior’s ploy to get Zheng Yu to go with him for the team building exercise. She is again being hounded by the debt collectors and she has given up her convenience store job. There has been a very long delay with award money and nobody has been declared a winner. I get that Yanzhou feels hurt she lied about her memory, but to deny the kiss counted and make her feel bad was not his finest moment. She feels foolish because she knows it was alcohol induced but she also is starting to realize she kissed him because she really wanted to. He undermined that step forward of acknowledgement because he was annoyed she would admit it to a group of colleagues but not to him. 😝😡 I’m not gonna give him a pass to be an ass just because he is usually the almost perfect guy. It was her first kiss too and now he’s tarnished the memory. I want to blame the third wheel clingon for them not getting a chance to discuss it, but I don’t think it would have made a difference. She was embarrassed first by getting drunk, second by being caught by the parents and still processing his behavior of being Mr jealousy. Something he never bothered to explain because his damn ego got in the way. He doesn’t think she gets a pass for being scared to acknowledge what the kiss means so he doesn’t get one for being an ass. He could have counted it with her and they could have been teased into a conversation. Where she gave him credit in public, he wasn’t inclined to do the same. He is the wrong party here not the wronged. I almost hope she leaves the lab to find a job to get the loan sharks off her back but she needs this as a beginning network for future employment. This is the first time I have wanted to smack Yanzhou upside the head for stupidity. He has always been so wise about how to return kindness and when it mattered to her he tossed it in her face that she didn’t count it with him so he wasn’t gonna count it for the game. We now know Yanzhou can be petty. I am sad that my favorite drama has left me annoyed with them rather than my usual happy pill. Usually the sadness comes from externals. This is the first time they were the rain and everywhere else the sun. Yanzhou has taken his pouting to a whole new level and for once I’m not in his corner. 😝🙄I’m not dismissing Zheng Yu’s pretense of not remembering, but she was quietly trying to tell him she did via the game and he took that and shoved it back in her face. It just goes to show that even nice guys can be jerks on occasion. 😝😡
