Don’t know, that was where episode 24 ended. Next episode isn’t available yet. :)

LR has an opportunity to study abroad in Germany that he gives up when FN's family company encounters troubles. This is something he's worked his whole life towards so when FN finds out about it, she leaves him. She feels bad he gave it up for her and doesn't want his life to be controlled by hers.

Yes, an older sister. The label FN created was her sister’s dream. GF was her sister’s boyfriend, I think, and now blames FN for her death. (FN had wanted her sister to come home and celebrate her birthday with her and subsequently, her sister died in an accident,) To seek revenge, he creates problems for the company and then takes over. Ugh. His hatred and revenge seeking ways are so misplaced!

27 is where they get together officially, but their feelings for each other develop well before that. It’s just stuff happens that prevents them from getting together sooner; interference from others, etc.

Before. GYH was filmed immediately after but aired before Untamed.

MGTV plays around with their YT videos a lot. They may have removed the Eng subs (although it’s still subbed on it’s App). And I don’t disagree with you about accessibility, but it’s a MGTV issue. For whatever reason they’ve decided to keep it locked down to VIP users even on their own platforms while sharing other dramas free and subbed. But if people are willing to pay for Netflix or Viki. it’s fair that MGTV would want to try and do the same for itself.

The drama is available officially and subbed through Mango TV (MGTV)’s YouTube channel and App. It’s just they only offer the first few episodes for free. The rest are VIP episodes that you have to pay/subscribe to watch.

@belle & @skilled lurker you can read the book here: https://dramasbooksandtea.wordpress.com/2015/10/19/i-dont-like-this-world-i-only-like-you-chapter-1-1-this-is-what-it-feels-like-to-date-a-male-capricorn/

The lighting changes were used to differentiate between scenes of past/present/future.

A lot of that has to do with the way the book it is adapted from is written. The book is also written in a non-linear fashion; it’s part of its charm though.

No, neither of them ended up with anybody. Both their stories were more about personal growth than romance. For HZQ, he learns the truth of his mother's abandonment, comes to terms with his relationship with his biological father, and above all finally feels secure with his family. His end pairing is hukou. ;)

QMY also grows up and learns how to take back control of her life.

I think her behavior should be viewed in the proper context. It's not as if she wants to do everything that she's doing either, but her boss makes it pretty clear that she'd better find a way to get the scoop that he wants and since she's got bills to pay (rent, electricity, etc.), she does what's necessary. Eventually, the ML realizes this about her as well -- that she's not that type of person that he perceived her to be, initially. As viewers, though, we should have that more global perspective whereas the ML doesn't have the benefit of knowing about her financial issues or the pressure that she's receiving from her boss.

Depends on which version you're watching. If you're watching web/subbed episodes (YouTube/Viki/etc.) it's 40 episodes. The TV(?)/raw episodes have 46. There is no difference between the two versions; they're just cut differently (for example, some of the raw episodes were only 25-35 minutes long which resulted in them having a higher number of episodes).

It's got a little bit of everything - the romance between the OTP, the game, the friendships, the team building. But the romance is threaded throughout, so very much present. I found the drama well-balanced in its narrative and just adored it.

Yes, it is a romance with a happy ending.

Yes, Zhou Ran and Zhang Yue Wei both being interested in Yubing is a change to the story that they made for the drama; it does not exist in the book.

When the Pioneers team qualified for the world championships, they didn't have the money to actual travel to Canada and attend. Li Gan, who was the team's alternate, told the others that he'd found a sponsor to fund their trip but in reality he mortgaged his house to come up with the money. Sun Ze Yi learned the truth of this matter and, as the leader of the team, pulled out to let Li Gan go in his place.

The schedule in China is Sunday-Friday, 2 episodes and Saturday, 1 episode. If you're watching on Viki, however, since they didn't premiere until a day later (on 3/20 instead of 3/19), that schedule is shifted by a day - meaning the one episode airs on Sunday while the other days get two episodes. It also means on any given day, Viki will be "behind" raw episodes by 2.

No, the OTP remain together in the end.
