That horrific bow tie that MSF sports later, though...it looks like something you'd put on your puppy for Christmas.
Dear god, yes! The bow is truly abysmal. I sort of love that he wears it, though, because to me this shows both that MSF is confident in himself and doesn't really care what others think (see also the frog sweatshirt), plus that TY hasn't "styled" him up.
Thank you for responding about the eating/talking thing. I had more or less come to this conclusion myself, but it's good to have it confirmed. Even knowing this, I still have an instinctive negative reaction (after decades of being socialised against!) so clearly I need to watch plenty more C- and T-dramas to unlearn that.
I don't feel that Jack is particularly child-like, but I do feel that he is open and earnest about his feelings toward Zhao Zi because he recognizes being that open and that honest is the only way to get Zhao Zi to believe him. I would also like to think that Jack is rather open about his feelings to himself.
On second thoughts, "child-like" is probably the wrong description. It just seems unusual for a martial guy to be so open and honest about his feelings and to approach a person they're interested in and thus a potential relationship with a sense of joyous, exploratory wonder (which has been my read of things so far). TBD further as I watch more I'm sure . . .
In this An An Superstar interview, it's stated that the four main characters are all supposed to be 28 years old
Interesting. There's NO way Kenny/ZZ could be 28 in my mind. For the other three, on looks alone I'd plump for early to mid 20s, but there are flashes of more mature attitudes and occasional angles where they could pass for that - particularly Chris/TY.
