I loved the rehearsal scene, Yi-yun finds a sense of purpose in performing, and the genuine praise from the others, I am happy for her. It's not a huge turn, but that shift in how she carries herself and how others see her is everything.
The dynamic with her friends and the trip to the baseball game, the social pressure, the unspoken crushes, the way they all just go along with things… it’s so typical of teenagers.
Yi-yun’s observation of Chen, seeing the tension and pressure on him instead of just the popular athlete, shows how much she’s starting to see beneath the surface of people, including herself. It ties back to her grandmother’s wisdom about patience and waiting, but applies it to her own life. She’s learning that not everything needs an immediate answer or reaction.
