you don't need to. it tends to confuse you since there's career change + bit of personality change as well as cast change. watching it might supplement some background story that you might be curious about, but you can always ask here, unless you can separate the two dramas really well.
I guess we are already in the sequel at ep12 as they talk about HSY's wife (TN).
they call her "da sao", sister-in-law, but you also call your bro's girlfriend that, it's not sequel yet. Timeline-wise, if we are reconciling the two version, it's before they date, but 97 and One misunderstood their relationship. (between GGS ep 4 and ep 7) ep 13 = Chinese New Years = GGS ep 8
Do you need to watch Go Go Squid season 1 to understand this one?
No. it's a separate story and the characterisation for FL is different. People are having difficulties consoling the two timeline and some changes. I'd suggest watching that later if you are interested. This one's timeline is before GGS and it ends after GGS finishes.
Me too! I knew from the previews that she is going to join SP but I still prayed so hard that she doesn't!
To be fair to Solo, that was after she quit and they broke up, he also said it for his daughter, it's just sort of final straw that broke camel's back.

I wouldn't call it explained well, you piece together the timeline and what happened bit by bit. I was pretty annoyed with Su Cheng, since her side was never explained, and she came off incredibly irresponsible and without reason. GGS helped in that they finally filled in the gaps, and it had characters that asked questioned i wanted to ask and they yelled at people for being irresponsible. i should note that even with GGS, it took most of the drama for Solo's team's backstory to unfold itself, and for them to reconcile, because that's how the novels wrote it, and because that's how Tong Nian finds out I guess. This story's source novel also have bits that made me really angry at some point, so I hoped they smoothed out that bit.

Novel-wise, she was 15, solo was 19, when Su Cheng showed up and just dumped a baby on to solo. He took up responsibility as he should have. But he didn't really discuss it with appledog at the time, he discussed it with HSY, talked about how to balance the team and baby and whether it's feasible or not. appledog felt betrayed and upset, and she couldn't really emotionally accept the situation so quickly either, so she quit the team on a whim.
People questioning the characters have never read the novel and have the wrong preconceived notion of the characters…
I think appledog is confident and independent when she's working in this drama too, it's just we don't see that a lot. People also have preconception about grunt, he's still mean-ish towards his teammates, Wang Anyu does play up his arrogance more but I think it works for grunt.
Honestly, grunt, appledog and gun are all the kind of people that's sweet towards their loved ones, but rather different with everyone else.
I didn’t expect to like this as much as I do. I guess I’m a sucker for a ML who is so utterly devoted to the…
webdrama only, it was pulled from airing on tv last minute. I don't think it would have been that high even if it aired, Jiangsu TV's base ratings is awfully low lately, and this drama meander a little in the beginning. amongst webdramas, it's #1 because most of the currently airing dramas (webdrama or tv drama) are kind of lackluster. so it's not living up to expectations for explosive popularity but it's not doing too badly either.
she actually wrote squid while fish was still updating, the in story timeline almost matches the time she updates…
I get the impression she wrote the first script then the scriptwriter edited her script, cos i can see how she fused their Singapore meeting and first meeting in Korea. She vaguebooked on her weibo last year wishing production team would respect her work, hoping they would keep core romance and characterisation or something. People were guessingvif it was this or beautiful bones, considering beautiful bones manage to keep the two lifetimes despite difficulties, guessing it was this one. GGS had tons of direct from the novel lines, from all three of them.
For those who are curious about the actual timeline of the series, or are wondering whether you need to watch…
she actually wrote squid while fish was still updating, the in story timeline almost matches the time she updates in the beginning XD. squid finished before fish finished, fish only like half way through (february versus may) while HSY isn't the main main character, dt and appledog are, HSY is still technically a lead, he's part of appledog's past, and part of esport legends, and the theme of the book have bit of passing the torch from one gen to another gen. (which is why i'm so mad they screwed up the last two matches in GGS).
appledog was also ooc in GGS, so her character change here is little hard to get used to. HSY is much more likeable in the drama because he's with Tong Nian most the time, HSY is surly with everyone else. Anyways they bought in someone else to adapt the script I think, I was really worried about it before it started, so I don't think that helped. I have no idea why they couldn't let MBFB do it when she's a professional scriptwriter, she was a scriptwriter before she became known as an author.
I have watched the first episodes,and yes we have the same impression.I really can't connect the characters of…
reasonably so for school novels? it'll get rec'ed if you ask for school novels, toss up if you don't specify. With You and My Huckleberry Friends's dramas did pretty darn well so i think that's why the author sold it so many times (i didn't even know you could split it like this? LOL) but none of the three version are by the company that made the aforementioned two dramas, so....they aren't doing too well. It's a book with lot of monologues, with misunderstanding and stuff, and supporting characters are in love polygon or really dumb romances, so it's just rough adapting it. movie might actually work since frustration are at minimal and you don't meander with side characters.
I watched You Complete Me because I liked the setup/characterisation of ML, SML and SFL (FL is alright too if you consider how dumb cdrama FL can be). HYT did ok to me, he got praises for My Roommate is a Detective but i heard it also crashed and burn so lol.
