I’ve barely returned to the land of the living after last week’s epic confession episode 14 of In A Good Way, and then episode 15 promptly turned me back into a zombie. I’m not just any zombie, I’m a pancake zombie that needs to be scraped of the floor with a spatula. How the hell does this drama expect people to watch it and still remain sane and functional? IT IS NOT POSSIBLE. The level of cuteness, laughter and heart squishiness, nothing has come close in terms of sweet romance in god knows how long. K-dramas paint all their romance with a layer of intensity regardless of whether it’s a rom-com or melodrama setting. OTPs there are usually life and death, and even the ones that are not deal with pretty high stakes for getting together. IAGW has crafted from episode 1 a genuine college romance that now blossomed and is so potent and powerful it is like a slayer activating. Episode 15 was….unbelievable, and right now I’m not even sure how to go about writing a recap.
The preview for episode 16 promises even more epic so it has to be shared right away lest this tsunami of feels bowls me over. Liu Chuan and Jia En as a couple is so perfect no one can look away, not us drama viewers, and not their friends in the drama. Things get even better when the ‘rents find out, and it’s not just one set of parents but two. I’ve been so busy worrying about my babies letting the chance to love pass them by during college that I haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about how Liu Chuan and Jia En would actually approach dating if they were to date. Episode 15 answers that question with a resounding “Ho momma, is it hot in herre”, and the good stuff hasn’t even gotten started yet! All I can say is – Liu Shan Feng is one tightly wound repressed boy judging by how he’s pretty much fursploded his pent up manly ardor the moment he’s gotten his girl. It’s still in the Liu Chuan way, but his way encompasses so much more simmering passion that only he can manage to convey in the most straightforward and shivery of ways. “Hold me”? Wouldn’t we all, Liu Chuan, wouldn’t we all?
Preview for episode 16:
h=445
Tracy: So what base have you gotten to with Liu Chuan?
Jia En: What base? What do you mean?
Liu Chuan: Dating isn’t a baseball game, what’s with the talk about bases.
Tracy: You guys are almost at the homerun, right? I suggest you prepare a set of lingerie undergarments.
Jia En: Dad, don’t take it!
Jia En’s dad: Sorry, sorry. Dating….buying lingerie…..are you? A man and a woman need to have boundaries, I don’t need to remind you and you know this already, right?
Jia En: Your daughter is very proper and well-behaved.
Jia En’s dad: I’m afraid someone’s son is not well-behaved.

Oh Ms Koala, we need you back to the land of the living for your wonderful recaps! :D after that, we can all turn back to zombies...lol. This show is just so fantabulous! It just keeps getting better.
OMG that almost kiss at the end?? Please don't let papa bear interrupt it! SO hot!!!
That kiss is clearly going to get "dadded" - but it gives us infinite room to imagine what all future kisses would be like simply by the way Liu Chuan stares, pulls her close, slowly leans in, lips slightly open......*fans self*
My god. To watch or not to watch. I haven't even seen ep 15 yet.
Argh!!!
* off to watch * the translations are too intriguing.
Man... you expect us to wait for that for another 8 days?
I got killed at "抛我" - Hug Me. The intense sideways glance at Jia En when he leaned back ............. is it getting a wee bit hot here?
If it keeps up, I think the dads will be the characters I hate the most :p
/typing this from the floor/
I was alternating from throwing my hands and feet in the air (squealing :) ) to my hands shrivelling in a good way due to the cheesiness. How can they evoke all these good and giggly emotions? I was expecting pink flash for today's episode, but they exceeded my pink flash expectation. So, now I need to prepare much more for next week. I guess being a gooey mess on the floor has never been this good in all my drama watching.
My poor heart - almost suffered from heart attack especially when he lean back and gave her a smoldering glance and said " hug me". I almost jump up and shouted in glee. Me poor heart thought it can handle no more but the short preview was even more explosive, especially when he pulls her in looks at her mouth while slowly leaning in .....
It's been such a longtime since i have enjoyed watching OTP get togethe. Normally the getting to gether part is the climax and thereafter it is anti-climatic but here the going is only going to get much much better. I absolutely love jia en's cluelessness when li chuan is all hot smoldering hug me... Ahhhhh help
I am off to buy a defribulator. I do not think I am going to manage any more of this show without one.
Can you pick one up for me? Or maybe buy in bulk, more folks are gonna need it.
omigoshhhhh!! Squeeing here SO bad!! Waiting on E15 to get subbed!!
Waiting for your E15 recap so that I can flail whilst reading it!! I NEED to dissipate some of the feels!!
I've literally combusted simply from watching that preview! Thanks, Ms. Koala! Now the big question is where can we get our very own Liu Chuan?
HOMG.
yup. that was basically my reaction at the end. mostly i was giggling throughout it all with talk about bases.
These two are a slow burn
Me too, they should date already, it looks real on set with the endless flirting. I almost find they look alike, they have a wife husband look.
