So...I will probably finish catching up by tomorrow night. I am still praying and hoping that somebody will be kind enough to put up a direct link to ep. 8.
My question is...do you think people in real life would do this kind of stuff? I mean... to continue pursuing the person who does not like you? Don't you find it a bit "diu lian", embarassing? I know at the end her hardwork will pay off, but is there anybody in real life who is seriously willing to go all the way like this? That is crazy. At least in DBY you know that Ah Meng likes Qi Yue, so that's not painful to watch. This series a bit "painful" in a sense that...I think women need to have more pride, don't you think so? Don't get me wrong, I still like the series, it's filled with cuteness but...this particular side of the story bugs me.

Also, this reminds me of Wan Bao Long in Love Storm and how he goes up and down although it's obvious that Jia Le only has her eyes on Yin Feng.
We need...one series that favor underdogs, man.

Anyhoo...Thanks for listening, y'all.

First of all, this series IS base on a manga and it's for entertainment purposes only. However, as for anyone in real life acting this way, I would say yes, maybe. People have done more crazy and out there things before, so a girl persistently chasing a guy isn't that abnormal. XQ have liked ZS for 2 years and now they're even living under the same roof. She's liked him for so long that she can't just stop liking him even if he's cold/mean to her. You don't get to pick who you fall in love with. And now that they're living together, she can't help but notice him and pay attention to him, because she sees him everyday!! Also, ZS has never outright rejected XQ, except saying mean things to her, but he doesn't go out of his way to avoid her. He's helped her with so many things and this I think keeps her hopes up that he might have feelings for her in the future.
I think the theme song to this series is so perfect for it.

*Why she fell in love with him
What is she thinking
She's willing to give up her dignity and admirations
the game of girls chasing guys
and he pretends not to know
but floating in his brain is
the image of her smiling in front of his eyes
and she says
meeting the right person is a kind of fate
You need to aim
at the person you want
Will not wait to be approached anymore
