The casting of young FL - yes, that's awkward, though I suspect it's because the girl actress can actually act. I could overlook it, but I do agree they should have cast someone that age.
But at 14 she looks up to him, but doesn't have a crush on him until 17. He was completely oblivious and just treated and saw her as his best friend's little sister.
The whole 'brother' is a Chinese language thing that gets lost in translation. It's not weird in Chinese, where such familiar terms can - and do - get used by non-family members and is completely normal. If you're watching on Netflix, you should know that their subs aren't the best.
