just want to add in the last part, but it's obviously that jia will be immature she probably was in her 20s that age is about that. At her current age she's probably not that immature bc experience is what make yo grown. And yeah Jia was insensitive but Jia knew that writing was the thing of the friend (probably for both), but the friend was literally holding grunge for Jia bc she was good without even trying I think the slap was just more that the writing, it was really personal, resentful
That's probably why years later her friend is trying to contact with Jia again, she knows that Jia wasn't the only one wrong here
I don't get anyone who is defending Han Jia with this because that was clearly insensitive of her (which clearly she realized after that slap cause she also quit writing). I know she had good intentions and whatnot, but honestly, I also would feel very mad receiving a "gift" like that on my birthday. What Jia did is also a goddamn slap on her friend's face -- like telling her that her work is not good enough and had to be fix by a friend that she's already feeling insecure with.
I know that they've worked things out and her friend had become a successful writer later on but I didn't expect this kind of backstory from Jia. I know she's an airhead, but I didn't expect for her to be that immature.
