I use a bullet journal so I can customize it how I want. tbh MDL can log all the info I'm recording I just like to write things out longhand and have a physical copy to look back on.
A small zink printer(like an HP Sprocket) for the posters of the the shows/movies also comes in handy. I normally do a 4 photo collage so I'm not wasting printer paper nor space in the notebook. It would take up a 5x8 square space in a bullet journal.

The bow in episode 20 had me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥹🥹

I finally realized why this has such strong LMLMV vibes but different...it's the same author 🤦‍♀️🤭🥰

Therapy and my friends and family are very good at communicating with me and I with them about what is said verses what was "heard". Recognizing that I only have responsibility over my own reactions and how I go about fixing misunderstandings.

Lack of first hand experience does not, in my mind, equate to lack of knowledge about certain...umm...subjects😏. What he needed advice for was talking to/dating a girl.
If this was any other show/country I would say that his character maybe hasn't "dated" but you don't have to "date" a hookup...ya know? Looking at you Japan/USA looking at YOU.

Oh i have RSD so the anger made sense to me. It's an irrational feeling that stems from frustration/pain, not actual anger at the person. What can be brushed off as an offhanded remark for some, I feel like I've been delt a physical blow. So from my perspective I can understand her instinct to pull away. And I can also understand his hesitance to go after her immediately. They'll work it out. This is normal.

They talked about how she always thought the scene in Titanic was sort of romantic with the hand on the glass...oblivious to what was going on in that scene...he giggles about it a bit(knowing she didn't quite get the subtext of the scene). Also it's kind of call back to episode 1 where he saw her through a fogged up window as she drew a frowny face, but now they are the ones fogging up the window together. 😏😉

To add onto your comment as it's not explicitly stated in the show it's early April in the timeline. So they've been dating for a little over 2 years.

They talk about the Titanic and the hand on the glass scene. He knows what the scene was about SHE does NOT know what was happening in that scene....you can see him giggle to himself about it. They might have made out, but he(I would hope) would never let her first time be in a car....like what?

The train wasn't moving because it was at a stop on the line. He was updating her on how much longer after that they have left together.

With how YG and LYY never hid their relationship at competitions and both clubs are fully aware of there relationship to one another...her screenname on her SNS....I can understand the older generation not knowing anything even after 2ish years of them being together....But the sister who is closer to the age of LYY, yeah wouldn't be shocked if she knew about their relationship and is jealous.

The pronouns are confusing me on the comment, but LYY was 16 when he had a conflict with the adults at a match. The older sister is leaving things out is obviously bias in some way. We saw the way she was treating the staff at the restaurant...she doesn't feel like a nice person.
I think the 10 year old thing is when the boys fought each other(ML and Older male cousin), but I feel like we are missing the whole story as no one else who was present or involved holds any kind of grudge about it.

probably either a cut scene showing the change of position or a flipped scene meaning the actually footage is flipped so left is right and right is left.

My take: She is shy and insecure(not feeling as stable as she did 30 minutes ago) in her long distance relationship and needed him to talk to her. He wanted physical reassurance, she wanted verbal. He didn't communicate that he was looking for something he got for HER in the car. She took it as him avoiding her and felt rejected.
Yes, there could have been better communication, but this is probably the first time they've seen each other in months in person and there are going to be growing pains. Honestly felt really realistic, because even healthy relationships can have small misunderstandings. The only reason it didn't get resolved in the moment was because her family was around.
Small aside cause I keep thinking about it. They ate like way too fast imo...like no, stay, catch up a bit more so YG and LYY have time to talk it out.

really? 🫖🍵☕️

Yeah the family part was like a knife bro...
Like his family(YG) is at the table that he was just rejected from...ouch. Double ouch when you remember his only living family is in the next room witnessing the rejection with the knowledge that it's his gf's family.

We just saw how her family is around each other, I don't think she knows how to be physically affectionate with someone she loves.
She might not know the difference because he's not a huge talker and she needs words to understand intent more than someone who is used to being snuggled up to in platonic/non-sexual ways. She's shy and self-conscious....also they really need to start turning their phones off when they are together.
Her cousin has been on and off again with his girl for probably a decade or more and she only JUST found out about it. She's not seeing examples of physical affection a lot within her family/peer group.
I'm 33 now, but I was shy as all hell at her age when it came to relationships. I loved physical contact, but didn't understand what physical contact meant to others so misunderstandings happened.

So I can understand YG. LYY isn't going to do anything she isn't ready for because 💚💚, but because he sometimes forgets to say it out loud....that's where miscommunication can occur.
Shyness is a real bitch sometimes...ya know? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Taylor Swift's song comes to mind..."Hi, it's me. I'm the problem it's me."

The older sister needs to like take a step back and remember that the only things she knows about Lin YiYang is from when he was SIXTEEN and younger. Do you know how much of a little shit fully functioning reasonable people were at 16? Your actions as a teenager among your peers, who are now still friends with, shouldn't define you at 29.
Honestly, the issues that people have with orphans or people who come from poorer backgrounds, but are now able to provide from themselves is so weird to me. I totally understand more traditional families, but like, I personally would think it's a win if I only had daughters and one of them didn't have to be a DiL to another family. Like think of the bigger picture people...
It doesn't help that Yi Guo's mother is close with the other guy's mother though. Hopefully her objective view of things will become an asset to YG and LYY.

She needed words that he/they were still okay. He needed to give her something(food) to show his affection. The wires got crossed and both felt like they were being rejected by the other.
She just got an ice cold glass of water to the face in the form of her family's response to him as just a player and person....she's freaking out and needs reassurance that it didn't change his view of her or their relationship. The physical affection he showed was way more aggressive than what she is used to from him in public and it concerned her. When his words indicated lack of interest in her being there it felt like a rejection to her.
From the beginning we see that he is a gift giver/acts of service and likes physical touch, she on the other had likes words of affirmation and quality time. It's normal for there to be miscommunication after being apart for such long periods of time. Felt realistic to me, but I also have RSD(rejection sensitivity dysphoria) so sometimes I misread people I love's intent unless clearly stated with words.

This(what you said), and people are forgetting that they rarely see each other in person, and they deal with awkward beginnings each time. Getting reacquainted with each other and how they communicate when in person.
Him not facing her and not communicating with words when she feels her family hurt him feels like rejection. She's shy and cautious around where families and elders are when he shows her physical affection(which is totally normal even in when someone is in a public relationship, but they aren't)...but the type of affection was more aggressive than normal and she could sense that and wanted to check-in with him.
Her family is pushing her to be with her old friend more and were rude to him in front of, not only all of her family, but his as well. She is getting slapped with the reality of their future struggles and feels inadequate to navigate it. She was looking for reassurance from him, but in his need to provide for her(feed her) he ignored her need for eye contact and gentle affirmations. She needed words, he needed to give her things. The too needs didn't get communicated properly and that happens. Honestly, very realistic miscommunication in first relationships or relationships that are long distance.
