Mini Recaps
Recap Grade D = My goal is to pick ONE topic/highlight. It can be a major moment or the smallest little detail. You can share yours too ~
Gu Han (Zhou Da Wei) is the one who singles out Zhou Xiang Xiang (Huang Can Can) as the only one who can interview him, then makes her life difficult every step of the way. She gets her revenge by writing a report that makes him look weak, only for the girls to see a wounded soul who needs love and care. He's getting even more love, so Gu Han announces he already has a girlfriend: Zhou Xiang Xiang.

Huang Can Can, hahahaha
Dr. Ao (Ao Zi Yi), is back, lecturing the “couple” to take it easy with their couple fights, and stop coming to the (school) hospital xD. The first time, Zhou Xiang Xiang was there because a bee stung her thumb. This time, she squashed Gu Han's arm he let her squash his arm.

ZXX: Didn't I say we're not a couple?
Dr. Ao: *not listening*
GH: *(not) listening* <3
Dr. Ao: *not listening*
GH: *(not) listening* <3
From Ep1:
He was so cute singing the happy birthday song so unwillingly! :D
Awwwwwww. His little lion stomp to play the part. The stuffed lion working is stupid, but it is cute and heartwarming. Every. Time.
Love this lion that comes with guns
Zhou Xiang Xiang is falling for Gu Han, and when some obnoxious girl says she's unworthy of him, she fires back, “How am I unworthy of Gu Han?!” She works her butt off to win Gu Han the race and prove herself that she's worthy of Gu Han. Gu Han thinks she's destroying her body (by running with it). So he does everything he can to lure her into training with his team, where she can spend more time with him learn to run properly.
Zhou Xiang Xiang beats her rival, all thanks to Gu Han being there to motivate her. She throws herself at him in celebration, hugging him so tightly and for so long that she doesn't even realize they're doing this in front of everyone. But now she has a "real" love rival to worry about: Gu Han's childhood crush i.e. herself.
Gu Han is running basketball training with his boys right where Fang Yu is teaching Zhou Xiang Xiang how to project her voice. Fang Yu touches her stomach, and Gu Han is immediately yelling at his boys not to touch their stomachs. Then Fang Yu lifts her chin. Gu Han: MIND YOUR CHINS! LOL. To his team of course. Mind your own chins when you run! Next up, the shoulders. Gu Han has something to say about those too.
Huang Can Can xD
They kiss. She kissed him back! Omg, and Huang Can Can is singing this OST here. She's a singer now! Sister really changes these actresses lol. But they need to get over this misunderstanding that he's in love with his childhood friend (you, girl!) and that she's upset about her childhood friend (no, guy!).
Chen Yu! Such a b*tch, refusing to pass to Zhou Yun Ze (Sun Chen Jun) in a critical game! But when they’re losing and Gu Han can’t keep bailing them out with three-pointers, Chen Yu finally starts passing. Those extra passes throw off the other team and open up space for Gu Han to be more of a threat. Finally. They win! As a team.
Despite starting off as a shit-stirrer, I felt bad for Zhou Yun Ze after he swallowed his pride to return to a team that hates him, makes snide remarks at him, and refuses to pass him the ball. He’s back all because he loves the sport. And he wasn’t entirely wrong about the team always relying on Gu Han to make the shot even when someone else is open.
It wasn't that easy getting a shot of Sun Chen Jun
Pre-Ep9 status
#7: the b*tch
#4: the shit-stirrer
Introducing boooooooring green tea storyline with Tang Hui (Zhang Hao Yue). I thought she was meant for Zhou Yun Ze! Boo.
A low-light: Zhou Xiang Xiang rejects Fang Yu. She thought she liked him, but (after meeting Gu Ran) she realizes she only admired him. However, Gu Ran misunderstands because he only saw her accepting Fang Yu's present, not knowing she only accepted it to save the man some pride in front of his friends.
Zhou Xiang Xiang: "This men's underwear isn't for me." No duh.
Relationship Progress: 2CP are together. Li Si Rui and Le Xiao Tao. They cleared up their own misunderstanding and are now working on our main CP, doing dramagods' work.
3CP. Chen Yu, this tall, big man saves Yu You from her anti-fans, but then gets terrified by a cat.
Zhou Xiang Xiang finally realizes she's Gu Han's childhood friend, and her intuition tells her he likes her. SO WHY AREN'T THEY TOGETHER. Because she has an important audition, which gets sabotaged by a jealous girl.
Oh wait, the misunderstanding isn't fully resolved. Not on Gu Han's end, anyway. He still thinks Zhou Xiang Xiang likes her shixiong because he saw her accepting his confession gift. Meanwhile, even shixiong is getting impatient with ML too. “Dude, Zhou Xiang Xiang obviously likes you!” I said dude, but same same.
Officially together. I'm growing old just watching these two date!!
The struggle to send a single text message. Gu Han takes forever to ask for her answer to his confession, and Zhou Xiang Xiang takes forever to reply, only to settle on a 好 (okay). Yeeeeesh looool. But look at these two:
Then there's the struggle to have lunch together because they don't want to be too high-key. Except their attempt at low-key is SO HIGH-KEY that it's taking out the 2CP.
The struggle to send a single text message. Gu Han takes forever to ask for her answer to his confession, and Zhou Xiang Xiang takes forever to reply, only to settle on a 好 (okay). Yeeeeesh looool. But look at these two:

| "I can't take this anymore." |

Relationship Progress: First official kiss as a CP after 3434938 failed attempts.
But I like the forehead kiss more. Gu Han stole a forehead kiss because he needed to "recharge" and Zhou Xiang Xiang coiled up in embarrassment. He's charging his, but short-circuiting hers xD
Ofc, our FL fixes the estranged relationship between ML and his mother. By existing.
2CP. Li Si Rui is inferior to Le Xiao Tao – financially. Her family is not a simple kind of rich.
Dr. Ao (Zi Yi) is back!!! Who cares that Gu Han is injured (hence Dr. Ao) and everyone is blaming it on Li Si Rui's absence. He's trying to earn money to match Le Xiao Tao's family wealth only it might cost him his team and his girlfriend.
I just learned Dr. Ao's name is Ao Zi Yi. And Zhou Xiang Xiang is going to sue Ao Zi Yi over Gu Han's knees.
AW. The basketball team deliberately said those harsh things to make Gu Han feel guilty enough to sit out and stop himself from making his knee worse. They'd rather have him hate them than risk him getting hurt even more. (Zhou Yun Ze has come so far as a teammate, aw)
It's Zhou Xiang Xiang's turn to dress up as a mascot to cheer on Gu Han and his weak knees.
I was going to say 80% (4/5) of the basketball team is dating girls from the same dorm. But no. This one guy thought he could date the last girl, only for her to pick up a call and greet her boyfriend with, “Hello, boyfriend.” Couldn't it have been “baby” or something remotely natural? Lol.
And this guy: Zhou Yun Ze. Can't join the basketball team's dating club, so he couples up with coach:
They somehow found a basketball conspiracy as the final obstacle-plot too.
The end.
Remarks
[First Impression (Ep1-)]
Tropey.
But cute.
After countless supporting roles, I finally see it. Zhou Da Wei's a cute guy :D. And this is the kind of first love that reminds you you're doomed if you don't meet your true love in kindergarten.
