The writers are trying really hard to make us sympathize with 2ML in these latest episodes 16/17. I don’t.
Those backstories actually showed he was worse than I thought. Someone who never believed the girl he was supposed to like. Never supported her in anyway. And criticized her every time they met. Then blamed everything on Rong. Never took responsibility for his behavior and actions. Played victim to both Rong and XG. Such a spineless coward in everything he did relationship wise. So what he was a good student and great at work. Not a good candidate for boyfriend or future hubby. When he was thinking about XQ it’s about what she could do for him, if she would take care of him the way Rong did. While LYS always considered what’s best for XG and how to help her
Maybe the only drama I have seen his character alive in the end.
I thought that was a timeline before he passed. If he had lived, he would not have avoided his friends. That’s my take on it. Maybe they did that clip so people could interpret it either way
