Now that was a take down

Fang Zhi Jing deserved that public take down. He has no morals and he makes it seem like he is successful by his own merits alone. But Gao Jian Hong worries me, esp. when he deleted the recording. His own pride and his jealousy over Li Xun's ability has warped his initial enthusiasm for pure learning and achievement.

I love Zhu Yun

You own the base, you own the bidding. You don't own me!!!!She totally has the right to quit. Love her.

What I enjoyed from this episode

- power outage secret kiss- tent good morning kiss- even Wu Bin's older cousin can see there's more to their relationship- road trip to see the ocean: "I love you... Ocean" LOLWhat I'm dreading:- Cousin and uncle are likely going to cause major trouble.

Things that made me guffaw

1) Lip balm2) The last meat ball chopstick fight and both losing out anyway3) Headphones by the bedside - busted!!

3 people??? Really?

Wow, Lee Jun was already getting lots of attention from ML and SML and we get a third admirer. This is going to be fun!!

You're crying, I'm not crying

That got me in the feels. Gu Ran not telling anyone else made me sad. It's also so nostalgic to those days when we said goodbye to old friends and went away to college.

She knows what (who) she wants

Su Zai Zai is on a mission. She truly is head over heels and the moment Suyang was mentioned, she was ready to pack for the trip. I want to say that their relationship is organically growing, but she has been the done doing a lot of the work so far. I have started to see Zhang Lu Rang's glances, smiles and small gestures towards her, so I know it's not one-sided anymore. He welcomes her efforts and has made some of his own, whether it's meeting her at the bus station, bringing her hand warmers or making plans to call her to make sure she doesn't miss the exam. I find myself smiling throughout the episodes.

Regrets a b*tch

Hwa Shin feeling regret now - is it really because he has finally seen her true worth, or as Jeong Won says, it's only because he himself likes Pyo Na Ri, so Hwa Shin also likes her?Pal Gang's birth mom giving that speech at the college choice conference was really touching. I thought she would belittle her, but she was totally decent instead.

Truths starting to be revealed

I'm glad that the rift between Su Yu and Wu Bi didn't last long. So nice that we get to celebrate their 18th birthdays with them. Wu Bi's Dad is finally starting to understand him.

Cliffhanger

I know it serves a purpose, having Su Yu wait around for days, trying to convince Wu Bi's uncle to see him, but it ate up the episode and we get a cliffhanger. I really wanted to know what he has to say.

Trampoline park

I love the trampoline scene, esp. the part where Su Yu dives into the pit with Wu Bi and keeps chasing him while in the pit. Such a sweet moment. Also, seeing Wu Bi with DuoDuo makes me smile. He's so engaged with her, whether jumping on trampolines, reading, or looking through telescopes. She has his full attention.

A turning point

A huge turning point in Qiu Ying and Ji Xiang Kong's friendship. They are finally starting to understand each other and see each other's sincerity, despite the difficult start. And Manager Zhao is an utter snake IMHO.

Jeong Won makes his move

Is this the only way Hwa Shin realizes he has feelings for Na Ri? His best friend makes a move and suddenly he's interested too? Seems like a lame premise, but a little realistic too with guys that take women for granted until they're ready to walk away. But, is Jeong Won really engaged to that other broadcaster? Even, if it's arranged, he really shouldn't play around with Na Ri's feelings. This is going to be messy.

Epic battle scene

That was an amazing battle scene. I absolutely loved it. I don't know if Wan'er or Zhou Ye get to them first but I hope they meet on the battlefield and find true kinship and love.And we get the long overdue kiss! Finally.

"If I worry, it's about you."

Classic line. Lu Zhao Yao might finally get it into her thick skull that it's her that Li Chen Lan worries about and not Qin Zhi Yan. The former captain of the guards is pi**ing me off. She's letting her jealousy get the better of her and she's just getting used. How many times can she make the same mistake?
