iariaEpisode 17
+ Oh man the awkward affection in these shows sometimes is just eeeee. I should have loved that moment where he shuts the door, pushes her up against the wall and kisses her. And I did! On his part it was excellent. I liked the way he held her face and then cupped her head, I loved that after Yugong called him about their guests he kept kissing her.
I love the contrast of how disappointed she was that he didn't say anything and how she thought he simply wanted to put her aside so he could deal with work and meanwhile them being apart for so long has him so simmering in want that as soon as the door is closed he has to kiss her and can't stop. It's not just one kiss, it's a dozen. It was great.
Except - dear god was Weiwei's reaction almost painful to watch. He was very into it but she didn't really seem to be. She seemed super awkward about the sudden kiss and unsure and even confused. It was a long kiss, like 30 seconds, and being unsure is fine at the beginning but for the whole thing? Now it just feels uncomfortable to watch. It would have been fine for a shorter surprise kiss but for something that long I really wish we'd gotten more reciprocation from her. Even if the show wouldn't let her allow her to return his kisses with the same enthusiasm as he gave, have her cling to his shoulder or touch his face, or even close her eyes. It would have done a lot.
This is really not a case where they successfully had their cake (kissing!sexy long kiss from the ml) and ate it too (no kissing from FL, demure only). But all that complaining aside - wow, that was one hell of a first kiss! And they did get better as the show has continued, Weiwei has never been that level of awkward since, so there is that.
Episode 18
+ Zhi Yi Technology has a lot more employees then I had realised. I think there's 15 or 16 all together.
+ Aww, Mei worrying about Weiwei being bullied by Ashlung and going to Nai about it was sweet.
Episode 20
+ I've really hit my limit with Cao Guang. People have their feelings and you can't always help them but you can help not lashing out at other people. Him being mean to Erxi is unacceptable and frankly him stewing in his bad feelings over Weiwei instead of confronting her is annoying me too.
+ Also 'Coffee' is the most unhappy looking cat I've seen on tv in awhile. He is clearly not pleased with his working environment and doesn't want to be there. Every moment with him on screen made me :(
+ Weiwei biting Nai's wrist when he wasn't giving her and her work ideas the attention she wanted - lol. Very random but I loved it and I especially loved how very into that Nai was lol. I also enjoyed him tackling her to the floor in retaliation.
+ Their goodbye the next morning was so domestic that I'm honestly surprised that he hasn't asked her to move in yet.
+ The Weiwei/Erxi friendship is so lovely. I love them together.
Episode 21
+ The whole mean girls shtick Yao and her Xiaoyu friends pulled on Erxi was so bad and uncalled for, and childish. Poor Erxi.
+ All their remarks about Erx being unattractive are ridiculous because she is in fact pretty and is super cute. She's bubbly and sweet and just really adorable! I don't get it.
+ Wei: You took one call and made three people hate you.
Nai: You're too kind. I've always been gifted in this regard.
LOL. God, Nai is such a troll. It was delightful. I loved him waiting until Weiwei answered the phone to tell her it was his mom and I loved that he didn't tell his mom she was on speaker. He's seemingly so straight-laced and has such control of his expressions that sometimes you forget what a little shit he can be.
+ Nai sneaking a kiss because "my mother said take advantage of you" and then his big smiles afterwards was very cute.
