Nope

On episode 7, the only thing about this show that I'm struggling with is the flight to YiHe she took to see the 'internet boyfriend'....All I keep thinking is if I had done that when I was a teen, my parents would've unalived me where I stood.

To be fair, she's not really doing on purpose. His sudden switch of behavior has left her pretty confused. I also think he is right in not just going 'Hey, I know you like me, I like you too. Let's go out.' He understands that its just words, he needs to show her that he no longer views her as his little sister. He needs to treat her like she is someone he views as a potential romantic partner.

I'm basing this off of seeing the flashback that will happen later where his mother promises the family that she and he will pay whatever the courts decide they should pay, and that was while he was still in High School...and I already know his mother dies shortly after that...I've only watched through episode 6 so far.

yeah, but that was the last payment and its during when SZ is already talking to him again right? And his payments started when he was 18?

So...saw a clip, not there yet in the show, but DJX has been paying the equivalent of roughly $1150 a month for nearly 6 years to JY!?!? Is that correct?

I just finished part one of the novel, there was no sketchbook scene. They didn't even visit the science museum. She asked him not to date, and it kind of made DJX uncomfortable. She overheard him asking her brother if she did in fact ask him not to date also. SY replied with 'Yeah...when she was 8 years old, she asked and cried a lot about it.' DJX asked him 'And now?' SY answered, 'Now she thinks I couldn't get a girlfriend if I wanted one.' Which confused DJX because she told him she asked her brother not to date too, so she comes up with the internet boyfriend story she was afraid he was figuring out her feelings because she asked him not to date.

Even without the fake boyfriend story, I don't think he would've made the connection.

On episode 5: Do we ever find out if DJX saw the sketches in her sketchbook? If he did, at the time, I don't think he would've made the connection that it was him.

Right! I'm glad that I already know that in College, she is much more assertive about not going when she doesn't want to go somewhere. And that, those friends appear to respect that boundary....I also like that for the most part she doesn't act shameless around DJX, but reserved. That's how I was around my crush in high school too.

I also find her very relatable because she doesn't like going out, or partying. As much as I don't like her crappy high school friends, even that felt like a bit of a realistic dynamic, because the introverts is always 'the bad friend' when they don't let their extroverted friends drag them all over the place to places that are too peopley, loud and noisy, and don't want to go to. Also....'Its my birthday, could you not reject me on my birthday?'...well why'd you ask on your birthday dude? That ain't her fault.

I actually really like SZ. I think that she is a more introverted lead. So often introverted book characters are turned into extroverts for movies/shows, so I'm appreciating that they didn't do that with her. My only complaint, since I read part 1 on the novel, is that the show does seem to make her less snarky. I've watched through episode 4, and I think that its clear that DJX already cares about her very much. Not an 'in love with you' kind of care, but it falls somewhere between that brotherly and friendly affection. I think its coming though that his life is tough, and that she is already one of the few bright spots in his life that give him happiness.

Do I have the wrong YT channel or something? Because it looks like Youku didn't post past episode 2 on their channel? I tried to get a subscription when I watched TTEOTM, but it wouldn't let me.

Interestingly, I started the book. When FZC asks her why she didn't pay attention to lecture, she says 'Its too easy. I didn't want to.'....and she was ranked 1st on their last exam.

I've only finished episode 2, and I already don't like her best friend that keeps trying to get her to go to places she don't want to go.

The period scene. I laughed at the boys being so clueless. 'There are sizes?' .... and kind of cried for her, because I remember moments like that and it is so embarrassing.

Thanks.

I mean....how is this different than 75% of the other romances where its the kid sister and the brothers best friend......It's a popular trope.

Episode 1: Did she switch the books on purpose or by accident? I don't get the impression that he thinks anything more of her than as the kid sister of a friend, who he's quite impressed by her ability to get her way...yet.

I caved...the general impression I get from her as a 14 yr old kid, is that she actually is very smart and therefore bored easily by her classes so she doesn't apply herself. I knew kids like that in school who would get average grades because they weren't challenged enough so they didn't bother.
