The Taiwanese drama Unknown 關於未知的我們 has sparked discussions among viewers regarding the relationship between its main characters, Zhiyuan and Qian. This post will analyze the beginning of episode 11 and delve into the complexities of consent, the characters development, and their personal growth.

It’s important to understand the background of Zhiyuan and Qian’s relationship, as in the series they have known each other for many years. Qian has always been a caring and protective individual towards both Zhiyuan and Lily. His cautious nature might explain his concern about “moving too fast,” even if he and Zhiyuan had been dating for a while. Additionally, the series hints at the possibility of Qian having experienced sexual abuse as a child, which could contribute to his hesitation and concern for both Zhiyuan and himself.
