CXX is classically handsome. Somewhat ironically, he resembles Republican Era (1930s Shanghai) film actors & print models more than contemporary C-drama male leads.

My New Year's resolution is to stay off social media as much as possible, so I missed your post.

How are you enjoying Love Between Lines?

While you're waiting, see CXX in Fall in Love (w/ Zhang JingYi).

Especially his entrance scene in the 2nd episode.

Yes, this is the method of operation* in most Asian nations. It's also standard procedure** in Commonwealth nations. So India fits
both criteria.

Yes, I said that I wasn't sure how the surgical training part would've worked.

That said, you're giving the standard completion times for each level of education. A prodigy like the ML would enroll in accelerated versions of the program. Obviously, not IRL, but for dramatic purposes only.

In most of Asia, the medical degree is conferred at the undergraduate level. In China, it's called MBBS.

So it's entirely possible that the ML received his bachelor's & medical degrees concurrently. Not sure how surgical training works, though.

And even in the US, there are similar programs in which you're admitted directly into medical school straight out of high school. Brown's PLME is a prototypical example.

She is not "mixed." She is (Uyghur) Chinese.

The FL is Uyghur Chinese, but she is not "mixed."

In China, Han is the majority ethnic group. But there are 55 minority ethnic groups, one of which is Uyghur.

The FL is not mixed. She is Uyghur Chinese

China has 56 officially recognized ethnicities, one of which is Uyghur.

That's my initial impression. But admittedly, I haven't seen much of Glory yet.

EDITED TO ADD: Apparently, Glory isn't supposed to be taken too seriously either. I've just read some reddit reviews that suggest it is pulp-y. So maybe you like tea with pulp?

How do you prefer your bubble tea?

More light & lively or more earthy.

Within the last couple of days, this drama has gone from 8.5 down to 7.8 and now back up 8.2.

What could have possibly happened in a few episodes to justify an initial 0.7 swing?

Why are people rating episodes that haven't even come out yet? More importantly, why does MDL allow this nonsense?

It's pretty simple: $$$. Controversy sells. The more ridiculous the rating system, the bigger clickbait MDL becomes. More clicks, more money.

Good old fashioned American capitalism at work. A complete scam, but an effective one.

And we've only seen (about) a quarter of the drama so far. So be prepared for the upcoming roller coaster ratings ride. It should be fun.

It's because some MDL users invented their own time machines.

I only wish they'd tell me the winning lotto numbers this weekend.

If you're going keep trolling, could you at least try & do a better job? Think more amusing & less annoying.

And if you're trying to use reverse psychology to make people hate ZLY, that won't work either.

Are you a fortune-teller?

Very thorough analysis.

It's entirely possible that, like The Starry Love, the tropes will end up getting comedically subverted.

FWIW, I've been saying all along that C-drama actors & actresses are more universally beautiful than their K-drama counterparts (as well as K-pop "idols"), but my personal opinion doesn't count for much when it's vastly outnumbered by those of the koreaboos who seem to think that Asian history & culture began in the 21st century.

Oh, and you sound unoriginal & uninteresting to be around.

Only to the intellectually challenged.
