“I did not think you such an optimist.”
Kate SharmaAnthony BridgertonS2 · E3 · 00:10:49

What it sounds like
She didn’t realize he was so hopeful about winning her over.
What it really means
“She doubts he can improve her opinion of him and mocks his confidence as misplaced.”
Said today
“You really think I’m going to like you more? That’s optimistic.”
What was happening
Anthony predicts Kate’s opinion of him will improve by the end of her stay. She has already called his attempts to win her over schemes to manipulate her, so her “optimist” remark is dry sarcasm.
