I wonder how similar Liu Chuan’s life on campus is to Lego Lee‘s own college life? He is a graduate from National Taiwan Sport University so athletics is in his genes and he must be thanking his lucky stars because having to do push ups while Kirsten Jen sits on his back is no small feat. The adorable picture above is from episode 7 of In A Good Way when Liu Chuan refuses to play truth so he has to do a dare which involves double the body weight push ups. I’m not surprised since Liu Chuan would rather get his teeth pulled without anesthesia rather than talk about his feelings in public. The written preview for episode 7 is out and its what we expected – the friends spend New Year’s Eve together camping in the freezing Winter night out in the campus stadium as well as Jia En steps up her efforts to meet her online pal 3631. What this drama has done so well is introduce some old-school college kid activities that might seem a little tame and hokey now but still gets the job done when creating situations for people to spend time and get to know each other. I actually see Ren Wei and Bai Xue developing faster than Jia En and Liu Chuan, especially if Bai Xue lets go of her unrequited feelings for Liu Chuan. She’s been friends with him since high school so I can’t call it a crush since she probably is one of the few friends in his life that knows him well. I hope she gets up the courage to tell him because the first step towards letting go is reaching the end and knowing its never going to happen. I can’t wait for more New Year’s eve fun with the denizens of IAGW and hopefully its as entertaining as their Christmas hijinks.
Written preview for episode 7:
Happy New Year~ The last day of 1996 and everyone gathers at the stadium field prepared to greet the new year. Hot pot, tents, heart attack, and confessions plus adventure. Everyone insists Jia En likes 3631 so she’s forced to admit to what she feels for 3631! The first night of 1997, Liu Chuan looks at Jia En’s sleeping face and feels his heart speed up….. Bai Xue actually admits she likes someone, and its a guy who is part of the night’s festivities. She’s pressured to reveal who he is until Ren Wei steps forward to help extricate her. A conversation under the stars, can Ren Wei get a candid response from Bai Xue?
Liu Chuan declines to help Jia En find 3631 but when he sees how dejected she is he feels so tormented. Jia En gets a great idea from Mary and uses “I’ll wait until you show up” to force 3631 to show himself. Liu Chuan receives the meeting request from Jia En and struggles with himself. Jia En wears the earrings from 3631 and waits for him to show up all day from morning until night. What’s Liu Chuan’s decision? Jia En finally knows who 3631 is!

BIG FAT GRIN.
I love the last line. Thank you so much :-)
^-^ Now I can get back to my post Christmas celebrations and wake up nice and early tomorrow to watch ep 7. YAY!!!!
Oh my! Why did I start this drama!?!?!? Waiting ALL WEEK for another episode is torture!
I ask myself the same thing as soon as I finish an episode.
did you just say jia en finally knows who 3631 is? it's about time the story moved along a bit more. after episode 3, i felt like the drama took a step back in terms of storyline development and only offered a tiny character development. I must say, I am starting to love Ren Wei and the sweet things he says to Jia En to support her. I really enjoy watching their loving, platonic relationship. Reminds me of back in the days when friendship between a man and a woman can really be that sweet and innocent.
I know that the development is slower than expected. I mean, at this rate, when r we getting some smooches and marriage? In the synopsis, it says jiaen returned to a reunion in 2005 as a mature lady, so does she end up with liu chuan, I hope it's not an open ended one.
This reminds me of "you've got mail", my all time favorite movie.
thank you Koala! i'm so excited!!! ^^ i'm so curious about what Liu Chuan will do when Jia En puts her arm around his neck while asleep. He probably won't remove her arm and just stare at her and fall asleep with a smile ^_~…hehehehee! hope so!
The 3631 conflict's kind of fun, but I hope they'll move on soon so we'll get to see some more interesting developments take place.
I personally don't mind that the story's still set in the 90s, but I'm afraid they'll use that as an excuse to go around in circles with all kinds of filler scenes :/
I agree with you that the events might seem "tame and hokey" to today's students, but what I have found teaching today's college students is that plenty of them really want to do "tame and hokey" things. I have chaperoned my fair share of off campus retreats, and the students really like the bonding over campfires and ice breaking games. I had one guy confess that he was relieved that he didn't have to act like some macho/athlete/drinker guy when he was with our group and knew that the people liked him for who he really was. In a Good Way gets the vibe of college life and the really figuring out who you are and the friends who are going to like that person.
Some Thoughts:
I know lots of people these days that having relationships with opposite gender over two decades and Jia En and Ren Wei proves unlike Kdramas that this kind of relationships can do just fine like any other friendship. I love their interaction and I hope to see more cute BFF moments.
I LOVE Tracy. LOVE her! She fierce and open minded and beauty and sassy in a good terms. I love the writers for creating character who's confident enough without being mean. OH! I can see why A-Qing falling for her (omg! he's so good looking!)
One of the reasons why I love IAGW is the realism. I don't mind about the end and also don't mind if ALL the couples won't end up together, cause let's be honest, how many couples you actually know that married with their FIRST sweethearts? But I do care to understand what lead them from point A to point B. So, give me the full story before I'll make up my mind.
4 hours to go! YAY!
Thanks for the Ep 7 written preview! I can't wait to watch tonight's episode. It's a long time since I've enjoyed a youth drama so much, from any country.
Btw, where did you get the written preview? Is it from a news article?
Anyone knows where I can watch Ep 7 live?
