The women actors do a wonderful job of imitating each other making the filter seem real. Kudos to this cast because they all really work well together. This episode has TQ in the lab having his team upgrade their cosmetic brand to better serve women athletes. He collected the data he needed by studying SCCās picture. I donāt know if that would have made her feel better or not, but at least she would have understood why he wanted the picture. His company is prepping for a photo shoot but a wrinkle has developed and it has to be delayed. SCCās best friend tries to bribe TQ into apologizing for the picture but heās not going for it and ends up further insulting SCC who had just walked in and overheard. Her quick exit helped her rescue a boy in the street and run into TQ. She had disguised herself so he sees somebody else and gives her contact information to be in photo shoot. Her friend tries to call and also sees someone elseš¤£ They have an adventure and best friend finally believes her. SCC makes discoveries about the bracelet and they have a fun time of cosplay. While out walking she finds her sis arguing with a jerk from divorce court. He is starting to get physical and she introduces him to her kickboxing skills. She is still disguised and her sister thanks her and compliments her on being pretty. This was definitely a new experience for SCC. Here is why I think TQ is really on the spectrum. He is so sure heās getting a call that he never asked for her name or number about the photo shoot. Heās got skills tho because his sketch of a gym bag logo tracks to SCCās sister. In a series of unfortunate events, SCC (no longer disguised) thinks she is reporting for a new marketing position and is tagged as model. There is a confrontation with TQ and he quite successfully makes an even bigger ass of himself.šš¤¬

I am a big fan of Tan Jian Ci and Li Landi. I think these two are hidden gems that are under rated and I wish them every future success.What I most love about this drama is that NONE of the young women use a fake little girl voice, a shrill annoying diatribe to force their opinion, or a fake overacted facial expression to overtly tell the viewer when itās supposed to be funny. There is also no juvenile plunge on the bed face down beating the pillows lamenting life in general. THANK YOU. TQās character is interesting because he seems to be a bit on the spectrum and his comfort zone is collecting data. He looks at his friendās phone and peruses the moments. TQ tells him exactly how many photos, male to female ratio and what makeup they use and to what degree filtered. This includes the men.š¤£ He is super intelligent but not the most adept socially.SCCās character was a full contact kickboxer. It is not clear why she no longer competes and her parents seem concerned that she is drifting with no specific goals. She has an older sis thatās the beautiful one. The sister dynamic is pretty spot on. Itās clear they love each other but the pretty one expects things to go her way.With her best friendās assist with her picture in resume, SCC is hopeful that an interview will pan out to a job. The interview is far from successful but I love her handing that apple half to the interviewer. That made me smile. She heads to a park with a six pack and bumps into TQ on a bench. They donāt recognize each other and she starts reminiscing after a phone chat and tries to share a drink with TQ. He doesnāt respond verbally but does leave her two gifts.TQ and SCC went to the same school and vividly remember each other but from completely different views. SCC sees him as her perfect dream guy and he sees her as the scary athlete that bullied him. They have no idea how the other one actually feels and that is the scope of this drama. To see what happens when these two meet and actually communicate.SCC and TQ are gently bullied by friends to show up at a class reunion. SCC and best friend arrive and the first thing SCC does is see a guy needing help and she becomes stock crew helping him move cases of drinks. TQ is not doing well either because the guys sitting at his table are clearly underwhelmed by his employment status. SCC gets drafted to take a pic and is recognized as the sis of the āprettyā one. After answering why her sis couldnāt come she heads for the bar close to tears. Now when I saw her trick with the bottle cap I thought it was a pretty cool move and liked it. But once it turned into her being the trained seal performing for the amusement of the crowd, I found the whole situation off putting. This was how the less than meet cute was designed for TQ and SCC to become reacquainted. Now the interesting part is that the heartbeats were starting as he studied her face. This was abruptly ended when the contents exploded and soaked her.Trying to regroup by rubbing her face, her makeup is everywhere and he stops and studies her face very carefully. You can see his brain swirling trying to design fixes for the makeup. He asks for her picture and for whatever reason she complies. He continues to study it and she asked why he took a photo. His response of how bad she looked was the final straw and she abruptly leaves.As SCC is walking she passes a lady selling flowers and decides to purchase all of them. The lady sees her distress and gives her a bracelet as a thank you for the purchases. When she is not recognized by her parents as she walks by with the flowers she sees her reflection in a car window and is shocked. Life is about to become much more interesting.š
