Also his dad was better at business than all of YuSen's uncles put together. Family rivalry. So Uncle BoKai teamed up with XG's Dad Mr. Nie and got LYS' dad sent off to a foreign branch. There he died in a foreign political crisis and LYS' Mom, living in Switzerland ever since has refused to speak to her own father ever since. So they arent the outcasts, they were victims, and LYS' Mom has stood up for her dead husband honorably. Grandpa Sheng truly owes LYS a lot more than the shungyuan (is that the right one?) shares, but it is a good start.

"Not all of this product's features were unlocked" !!!!! LYS on the phone to XG after he commenting on his blind date history as a product 'return'.
Come ON, where are the emoji queens for that remark! Show that you are actually listening to LYS' fine insinuations!

You are so right. This drama is really good/the actors are really convincing at portraying her inexperience especially. Remember she was deprived of the more normal college flirtations by the creepy-thing with ZX.

You can see (ep.26) when he asks her for "a business-trip perk" she tenses up a little. He just gives her a slow forehead kiss and you can see her reaction only in outline through the umbrella, but he takes her breath away.

ep26
A 'BOYFRIEND USER MANUAL"!
Go, Yu Sen. You are making us all proud.

I think its part of the characterization of LYS. It wouldnt be ok FOR HIM to be a doctor, he is ego invested in his physical skills. Maybe he will grow out of that, maybe not, but the point is he was very proud and trained only to do that one thing.

All the big dramas and their actors need fashion company endorsements. It is annoying to see all those spindly little legs and knobby knees in every big expensive show but you really need to look away for now. Pity the poor actress. Hate the current infantilizing fashion mavens in Asia, maybe?

There is nothing forbidden to get sweaty about. This is a marriage plan.

I remember ZJM in Our Generation, at 3 am, on the phone to her girlfriend, while sitting on a chair in ZLH's dark cubbyhole of an apt, while the man slept under a sheet: "you know when couples walk down the street and they look like they have a secret? Now I know what that secret is."

Cant get hotter than that. Wait.

The heat builds. What did you think of her signing his palm to stake her claim (in the car after the plum blossom walk, ep24)?

I dont think it tickled. SWL got blurry-eyed.

My.

Defending office romance, from one office worker to another (to XG), "How can you have such a backwards corporate-shill mind-set" (viki subtitles). LMAO,

Only Shine On Me would dare to give up on the plot implications of hidden love. Let the sun shine in!

me too, and i hope not.

sort of, since she is hong gil dong and they will switch bodies, we should see the prince's soul inside a woman's body disguised as a male thief.

Way too high a bar! Tale of Lady Ok was genius!

The coloring is washed out, the soundtrack is very plain, but hearing Nam Ji Hyun defend her 'servant ' who 'fell from a pear tree and is completely nuts', it is like coming home.
So funny, so cool and such a beautiful voice.

Thank you for talking about his (LYS) own perspective -- I didnt really get why he got so deflated either until I read this.

I find the 'selling China' stuff always interesting and hilariously heavy-handed. Glory (on right now) is like a mildly trashy advert for china tea. Shine on me does a pretty good job with the basic business premise.

I was also always entertained by ppl in kdrama, which has gotten so subtle lately that it is no fun anymore.

lmao.

Yes. But it is super-interesting as a real pathology among the complex web of emotion between even regular fans and their oppas.

Those of us who are of the age to remember 60s or even 50s fandom might wonder if its so different emotionally, even if more intense bec of technology. I was a pre-teen -- the Monkeys, oh my.

She is a great actress. Always hoping that luck and fortune will bring her deserved suvccess.

looking forward to it. Sounds cool.
