Yeah fr the problem is this teacher plot start in ep 9 and suddenly their screentime is getting a lot more than…
I feel the same way. Especially the fact that they added scenes that are not canon at all especially that kidnapping scene. I personally skip their scenes because it's not adding much to the plot of the show for me. At least their story is not intertwined with Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian's story cuz that would've actually pissed me off.
Just curious - was the English teacher involved in any subplot in the book?
Not at all. She had a very different personality than in the show and was always there for the students in competitions and such. Remember the scene in ep 10 when Sheng Wang sees his dormmate with a girl? In the book, that was Yang Jing with another male teacher name Zhuang Heng. They weren't kissing but walking together and to sheng wang it looked intimate so he saw himslef and Jiang Tian in them. She was in no way related to the other teachers.
The teachers' plot is so unnecessary. The male teachers are already dating in the book and the English teacher has nothing to do with them. So I don't understand why they would waste time with such nonsense. Other than that, though, I'm glad they are giving us detailed content. Some might think it's slow but I'm quite happy with it. If this season ends with a cliffhanger, hopefully, we'll get a season 2.
Hmm… imo the actor portraying Ling Jiu Shi can’t do emotional scenes (feels stiff/awkward). He’s eye candy…
His character in the book is very out of touch with his emotions so it makes sense for him to act this way. But as the story progresses you can see that he shows his emotions better. Especially towards the end of the show.
