episode 3 spoilers ahead

spoilers ahead

--I hope they don't straighten her hair. Curly hair is so pretty--

1.The look on Zhen'er's face as Bai walks in is priceless. So is her desire to hide from him.Charlie can't help but notice she is crawling around to hide. She explains she is afraid of strangers (LOL). He asks her to pay him back for the handkerchief (these two are so cute in their own little world I love it since they are ignoring Bai whom everyone is fawning over). For reasons unknown, he tells Charlie he needs to work hard.(I will be surprised if he notices her)

2.Bai reports that in three months Immortal will be shut down (NO, this is her DREAM) He suggests that they can fix things if Immortal's sales increase. He is here to try to save the magazine. (FYI the magazine editor is sort of a stereotype of fashion....like 2 dimensional). He asks for full control over the team and she agrees (silly woman).

3.Zhen'er begs to return to logistics but her former boss explains he cannot. It seems the editor in chief Vivien is very strange and he doesn't dare offend her. Zhen'er is, as we know, a push over and won't push him. This Charlie is very eccentric I like him.

4.She is asked to stay because it seems she has variety of skills gained while helping her parents with their printing business. Most of this episode she tries to avoid Bai.

5.Elsewhere, her flatmate (who I think works at a hotel) is met by her stepmother? who wants her to go home and visit her father. It seems her mom ran off to avoid responsibility. Xia does not like her even though she seems to want to be a family but she is angry that this woman wants to be her mother (I think this woman should say:I can never replace your mother but I would like to try to be a family).

6.Charlie encourages Zhen'er to be strong and essentially tells her that people fear things that turn out to be just their own imagination/worries. Meanwhile, Bia continues to text Xia (she believes her own family is Zhen'er but is upset because this guy she doesn't know is making her feel warm. what will she do?)

--never ask a friend to pretend to be you it runs the risk of your love being stolen. and since all is fair in love and war, you can't really be angry with Xia if she falls in love with him--

7.Zhen'er has an encounter with Bia and they are locked in a stock room (of course). Even though she knows they are coming soon she panics and tries to break out. He stops her and tells her to calm down (is she afraid of enclosed spaces? i think she is)Bia allows her to listen to his pod music in order to comfort her. This triggers a flashback when she did something similar during a rain storm (since he hates rain).

8.He clearly does not remember her so she should calm down. He learns that her name is Li Huizen. (He still does not believe it is her).

9.aww Charlie is so supportive.

10.For reaos unknown Bai is extremely harsh with her (maybe he is struggling with the thought that this girl might be his Zhen'er? Or he is just a jerk?)

11.oh no....not the make over trope....no...no....she shouldn't be taking advice from this girl who looks like a fortune teller from 1900....don't get rid of the curls....oh they leave her a lone phew.

12.She is a good example of low self esteem in a character awww I can't wait for her confidence to bloom. At home she cries about how mean he was to her. Her flatmate comforts her (classic low self esteem you take things harder than you should and blow it out of proportion). (I sincerely hope people don't randomly snap photos of people who are pretty in china that seems a little creepy)

she's so friendly and says hi to everyone in the morning. She does NOT have an afro Charlie. They told her to organize her hair....the struggle of having curly hair....i know how you feel....

Comments: I don't think he is a jerk. I think he is doing his job so far. I think she won't change if she doesn't encounter difficult situations. Either she will quit or she will learn how to swim. It'll be tough, but I am interested in her transformation. Everything he said was true, and with the magazine in danger of crashing in 3 months, he can't afford to coddle anyone. She needs to learn how to handle tough situations. Not everyone is going to be your friend. Especially at work. Looking forward to her growth!
