Yes, I love that we can see their progression.

I wish the writer hadn’t introduced a potential other love interest for Shiyan at this stage - the drama has been so pleasantly lighthearted so far without any of the usual love triangle / makjang romance tropes. But from the previews, it looks like Shiyan nips any misunderstandings in the bud quickly and Chang Xinyi is more of a device used by the writer to push Tang Yang and Shiyan closer. I hope it remains that way in the actual episodes.

Ahhh so they’ve finally both admitted that they want to be more but now I guess they’re kind of struggling with bridging that gap between being ‘bros’ and dating.

That said, I am very ready for them to kiss already! We are at the halfway mark!

This is a light hearted and surprisingly angst free little show that’s a bit of a romcom and a bit of a slice of life. The pacing is a little slow but I like that the drama is gently exploring how the main characters wound up in the rut they’re in and how they are building towards the realization of how much they mean to each other (i.e. instead of having us believe that they fell in love with a sudden finger-snap after years of living in different cities). Sometimes so much can get unsaid and you can be too careless with those seemingly closest to you simply because you are too familiar with each other.
