Sunshine through the Rain Episode 2

Don’t cozy up to me and challenge me properly

These two are cut from the same cloth and it is fun to watch their rivalry as they assess each other. Both have meticulous standards and both have setbacks for different reasons. He has health issues his Dr and mentor won’t sign off for with PE class and she doesn’t have the luxury of extracurricular activities when she has job after job lined up. I wish she would have accepted the shoes and impromptu party her roomies tried to give her but at the same time she feels she cannot afford to be beholden to anybody. She is stretched as far as she can go. He tries to get his place back with his teacher but she is too concerned for his health to take that on. They both compete vigorously for the sole lab spot available. And both chide the other to not cozy up but challenge each other properly.🤣 He did not expect to get his words tossed back and she did it with great finesse.🤣👏🏻 I had to grin when they both show up early in the lab to learn neither won the slot for lab and both showed up early to “learn” and to see if the other got in.🤣🫣I was glad he found out the truth about his wallet and confronted her directly. I was surprised at how candid she responded and how she unapologetically sees herself as is and accepts no undeserved credit or blame. They both have a shell that they don’t let others get through, yet somehow they each find themselves inside the other’s walls. His waiting for her at the convenience store because he has no clue how else to find her. His admiration and frustration with her for running the race with shoes that could only cause her pain to wear. She sees him as the obstacle to work around and he sees her as someone he didn’t expect to find….somebody interesting. I loved her description of them at the end. That their missteps together are confirmation that someone else is in the same boat, struggling like you. It is acceptance that they exist and affirmation that you both hold a similar place. The cinematography and music just wrap this up in a nice package to appreciate. I am so drawn in with these two and for as cool and stoic as these two are, there is a growing warmth between them that cannot be denied. They have been tossed into each other’s universe and for better or worse they are going to have to coexist.
