So... I've just now realized that I've been watching the cut version this whole time 😭 I really don't get why they keep doing this. Why have a cut, uncut and then directors super special cut version? Just give me the whole series as one version jfc
Now I have to watch the whole thing again and see if I've missed anything ah...
Oh really? I think the only plot is annoying friends being annoying and nosy. I mean everyone. All they can talk…
I'm kind of thinking it's the whole Covid situation maybe. They're mostly stuck inside, watching or taking part in live streams all day long. So naturally they'd focus on their friends relationships to distract themselves and have something exciting to think about that has nothing to do with the pandemic. Or they're just a nosy bunch in general lol
I find the second couple more interesting as well. But maybe that's because I really adore Tiger.
I wasn't going to give this show a chance based on the ratings and boy am I glad I ignored that. This rating is…
The acting really isn't too bad. I've seen series that were rated 8+ with much worse acting. So I'm pleasantly surprised with this one :)
And about the Covid plot: If I remember correctly, then Yeonim (the author) wrote this novel during the pandemic. She got inspired by experiences her two younger siblings made, who were probably still uni students at the time. Live in Love is kind of a side project of Yeonim's that she wrote while not working on the Love Syndrome Universe novels.
I'm actually surprised that such a simple plot can be so engaging. I like the color coding of the characters and the conversations are quite realistic (thank god they're not cringe or too cheesy). I think it's the perfect show you can watch to relax :3
On a side note: Can Gina and Khing kiss already? They should forget about the boys and just date each other tbh
My only critique point so far is that they're really taking too many exams... I get it, it's a school that has…
My parents were pretty relaxed about it, that's why. A lot of my schoolmates weren't allowed either. I think the first time I went to a club was when I turned 14 :) My older sister went with me, so my parents knew nothing bad would happen. Our parents actually dropped us off at the club lol Once I was 16, I went on my own though. The only restriction I had was that I had to be out of the clubs by midnight (because that's the law here for everyone who is still underage) and then be back home by 1am.

Hi fellow German ✌ It's probably because my school was a test project of the state government. It didn't really follow the standard German school system. Instead of focusing on tests, they concentrated more on helping each individual student to achieve their best. Like in my case, the teachers knew I wanted to study at a university afterwards, so they had me take advanced classes were you'd have to do more research on your own. Others would take basic science classes, but advanced classes for sports or music, if that was what they wanted to do after school.

That sounds exhausting... I only had two big tests per class and school year. Instead of a lot of tests, we usually had science and research projects and had to give presentations on the subject in front of the class.

Hearing that kind of makes me appreciate the freedom I had back in my school days. When I was 17/18, I hit the clubs at least twice per week and hung out with my friends after school. I still had to study a lot of course, but there wasn't quite as much pressure. I guess it's because here everyone knows that school grades don't really matter in the long run. They're only important if you want to go to University and study something that has access restrictions (like biology or psychology). Other than that, as long as you've got your graduation certificate, you're fine.
I get that there can be competition between students, but somehow I get the impression that there's more to it in this case. That boy seems kind of desperate to always get the best grades. I also wonder if he might have a crush on Jiang Tian? Because he doesn't seem to view him as a rival, only Sheng Wang 🤔

Tbh I feel stressed out just watching them take all those tests lol But it sounds like I should probably do some background research on the school system in Taiwan. It's very different from what I'm used to.

I'm from Germany. So I guess it's really a cultural background thing. I took all the advanced classes at my school, but we only had two tests per subject and school year. Those weren't multiple choice tests though and they usually lasted for 5-6 hours each. Daily tests sound really exhausting...
2/4 of the series about exams 1/4 unecessary and annoying conversation %24 people talking about how the leads…
My only critique point so far is that they're really taking too many exams... I get it, it's a school that has tests pretty much every day, but do we really need to see that in every episode? Rather than that, I'd want them to focus more on the relationship between the mains or on that other boy in their class who is scheming against Sheng Wang (so far we have zero backstory on him and don't even know why he is like that. Are his parents pressuring him? Is he just naturally a lil bitch? Who knows...). Even a side couple would be more interesting idk
Oh nice! Totally forgot that this is another of Yeonim's works, so I'm looking forward to it. It's not related to the Love Syndrome universe, but I see a couple of the actors are the same :) I'm currently reading the NanxMac story line, so let's see if I'll be able to not get confused between Nan and Kla lol
And this whole time I've been wondering why the relationship between Shan and Ob-un hasn't really progressed. Turs out it has and I've missed it 😭
