In A Good Way Episode 3

Surprise Gift: Facebook

Aside from real life, I am currently living tangled in the story of this drama. Yes, you heard the ridiculous and straight forward confession of mine (giddy). Perhaps, I am loving the nostalgia it gives me as I find joys in going back in time reminiscing the old days. Well, since it has occurred to me now, I know that there is no turning back. I have been charmed by its potion which is of inducing, realistic, engaging, fun, and lovely story about friendship, young love, family and freedom. So let’s get started with episode 3!

Episode 3 is much less busier than episode 2 as they focused on the competition raised between the three musketeers and iron men (men of steal) which was an appalling thing to do among matured people but not when we realize that we have college freshmen in the here considering the character of young people who want to challenge each other. So this is normal in the process of growth in college, right? So, I think it’s a cliché thing to happen and such but at the same time, I love how creative they are in execution and in putting value on it in the end. They made use of bikes instead of motorcycles because in their era, mountain biking is more popular, which pretty much showed the strength of Liu Chuan and Ren Wei in pushing the pedal to win, and on the other hand, describing their generation from 1995.

With the match that happened, I was rooting for the Three Musketeers led by Liu Chuan over the Iron Men (Men of Steal) because Ren Wei has the tendency to be an airhead most of the time and he talks beyond of what is expected of him to do. However, who would have thought that this competition will lead to the kind gesture by the winning team to the losing one as they volunteered to help the Iron Men (Men of Steal) guys in doing the laundry of the kids from dorm 1 as promised after losing the match? So cool.

A lot of things happened in this episode yet the pace of the story is delivered really well and just right to not rush things and to leave you more in expectation. Like for example, the tingling chemistry between my ship Liu Chuan and Jia En is now apparent yet the friction is still cold because it's yet to be processed. They are taking their time as good friends and I am affected by how the emotion naturally progresses.

Another meaningful event for this episode is when Liu Chuan helped Ren Wei to arrive in the finish line after acquiring injury for falling on his bike, when he could have finished the game without any thought. But then, he chose to help Ren Wei get through, and it was so nice of him. Oh well, he’s the hero of pretty much everyone in this drama. Though I find him a bit insensitive sometimes by what Bai Xie feels for him. It’s not like I am concerned with the development in their relationship but I thought he would be smart enough to feel or sense it. Anyway, it was very obvious to everyone already except for him. I know he doesn’t feel anything special towards her so the sooner he tells her of being hopeless about it, the better. Going back to when Liu Chuan helped Ren Wei, I think that the most thing of what motivated him to go back is when he saw Jia En’s worrisome expression waiting for Ren Wei, like everyone’s attention was on him except for her. I was like, aww. 

Though I feel like, I am so alone living in these ‘feels’, it isn’t really the case because this is not lonely, it’s fun for me doing it alone, and even though real life people would want to get into this, I wouldn’t want to push this drama to their interest unless they really feel like it. I’m just glad that I have found few people online to relate with while watching this drama. I guess we all share the same opinion about it, which is, we are all pleasantly going through the story of four young individuals coming together to put perspective on each and others lives.
