As Haikou pointed out, the main reason Huazi doesn't want to work for Wanghe is because then they cannot date.…
It's also because of establishing her independence as the other poster wrote. She even paid back the money that his family paid to that guy that he beat up because of her. Even when he refused to take it, she insisted and said if she needed the money she would ask him. Remember also as teenagers in High School, WangHe mentioned that he wanted a woman who could build with him and is hardworking as a wife, maybe subconsciously that's why she wanted her independence and even got the self-study degree.
Yes, it's clear that you mean Tiantiann, but it's not even clear that romance is the strong point here to say…
We all know there will be romance even not overtly. They could have found a 2nd person to play her older version when the admiration arch will be played. Like you mentioned, she played a younger Zhao Liying. Why is she now playing both younger and older here if this is supposed to be a remake and even worse if it’s a sequel. There was admiration in the original too between Zhao Liying and the ML. I’m just saying, no matter how good the actress is, age considerations should be made if even an implicit assumption of romance is there. Speaking in the light of the Korean scandal. It’s not right.
I wish too. I never saw the advert. Just saw it and clicked on it 🤭. It ended up being so good and I came to find it on MDL and join the conversations about it.
I hate when they cast super young people with significantly older person as lead couples. She’s not even 18 yet. Later when a scandal breaks, the whole industry will act like they were not encouraging underage dating and predatory behaviour.
First 4 episodes and I’m hooked. Beautiful cinematography and I love the storyline so far. The leads too and other supporting cast are interesting. I can’t wait for more episodes. I hope this does well.
Unfortunately the way he acts now makes him look ugly.
As High School students they were not kids. Anyway, I believe it is because they see each other as "siblings" and retain the way they relate to one other. I also believe this is why they have refused to acknowledge the romantic feelings that lie underneath. Doing so, will change the whole friendship dynamic which they are not ready for yet. Haikuo commented on this briefly to his girlfriend saying if the romantic relationship doesn't work, they may not even be able to remain friends.
Anyway, let's see how it plays out. We have about 15 or more episodes left.

They've always spoken that way to each other even as kids. It may appear rude, but these are friends who play rough with each other. Huazi used to always beat Xiangchi, does that mean she's abusive to him. She used to beat him more than the others, in fact Huazi used to hit all of them instead of talking. But, you don't call her abusive or rude. Also, they still see her as part of the boys and boys play quite rough. To me, its just them playing around. I have group of friends who play this way.

I don’t mind how he acts (it’s not surprising as this is his personality since childhood. It would have been odd if it was otherwise). People who are extremely ambitious and competitive like him are go getters. Go getters have a bit of coldness to them. All the extremely rich people are cold to some extent. If not they won’t be that wealthy. It’s literally amassing extreme wealth/ achievement at the expense of someone/something. 🤭
