This episode made no sense to me tbh. They made the daughter be against Heng for no reason. Like, she's okay with her dad being in love with someone but for unknown reasons it can't be Heng? That honestly bothered me. Also, why did Heng's friends + Mo help him try to get along with the daughter knowing that Heng doesn't plan on dating the boss? So weird, especially since Mo participated in this plan. It makes no sense 🤦
At least they finally made Heng reject the boss. I was worried they would drag it too much. But now we have more than half the season left so at some point the story will feel way too draggy and there are probably going to be so many unnecessary conflicts that weren't in the original story.
One thing I do appreciate from this adaptation though is that here it is more obvious that Heng is starting to realize he might like Mo. In the original, even until the end of the first season, I kept wondering whether Haruta actually liked Maki. It only becomes obvious Haruta is head over heels for Maki in the movie and season 2 (especially season 2).
Why can't Heng reject his boss or resign? He seems very uncomfortable when the boss is around. And why the boss…
My opinion: It's because Heng/Haruta is too nice and kind... and also very indecisive. He doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings so he is unable to muster up the courage to explicitly tell the boss he doesn't like him. Especially since they have known each other for so many years and have always had a good relationship (until, of course, the boss confessed to him).
Random thought that came to mind: since the show will air outside of China, what if we get extended versions of certain scenes + scenes that might have been originally deleted due to censorship 😳
*sigh* Earth has been my favorite actor since Water boyy and EarthMix have been my OTP since 1000 Stars. Because…
You pointed out something that for some reason escaped my mind: the side characters are not enjoyable to watch. I definitely agree with that statement. Besides the main 3, everyone is so forgettable and unnecessary; they feel too two-dimensional. In the original, even the characters with little screen-time had more depth and were more entertaining to watch. Especially in season 2 where the story becomes deeper and more relatable.
This is probably the episode I've enjoyed the most so far. It wasn't as dramatic as the original but it still had its own charm. I loved the boss's gift for Heng; it was so thoughtful and sweet. Now let's see how Cher-aim comes to terms with the fact her dad likes Heng 👀

Ossan's Love: In the Sky is an AU season that doesn't follow the original story so it's not necessary to watch it.
