I hate to disagree, but I strongly suspect that the day he discovered that his hand was so damaged that he could no longer work as a neurosurgeon would have been the worst day of his life.

It is the same here in Canada, and I suspect that it is similar situation in China. That being said, Yu Sen was asked to advise; he did not operate. After he handed the patient over, he left and told Zhuang Xu that was as far as he could go. He only hung around to see the results of the CT scan. It was only after the municipal hospital said they could not take the patient, and the haematoma was found to be too large, that they asked for his help. He showed them his medical licence and other credentials, so it is not impossible that he was put onto the hospital's staff temporarily.

I noticed one thing that cannot happen in Canada (my daughter is a surgeon and I discussed this very situation with her earlier in the year). As there was no family/guardian present, the lead surgeon mentioned getting Medical Affairs to sign off on the operation. In Canada, a government official, called a Public Trustee, is required. No one within the hospital set-up can give approval.

I think nycali295's comment above provides a possible answer.

To be honest, I find things easier when using the 24 h clock and the international date format. :-) In this case, the next episode is supposed to be released at 12:00 Beijing time on 2025-12-31. This converts to 23:00 Eastern time on 2025-12-30.

My mistake regarding the ski trip.

I totally agree with the view is that everyone has their own perspectives and interpretations, that are usually based on personal experience. There is a classic cartoon image of two people looking at a number on the floor: one sees a 6 while the other sees a 9.

My mistake.

It seems to me that you are saying that Zhuang Xu and Xi Guang should have sat down and cleared up the misunderstandings. That implies that both sides misunderstood the situation. In reality it was only Zhuang Xu who had the misunderstanding and it was his responsibility to clear things up.

I will repeat what I wrote a few days ago: "The congee I had this morning had more spine than he has."

I am afraid that I cannot agree with that assessment of Zhuang Xu. Many of us were born into families that were no financially well off, but for most of us it never stopped us living our lives to its fullest. Both of my parents left school at the age of 15, without any qualifications. However, I have an M.B.A., and have lived and worked on three continents.

You wrote "Rong even said that FL had spread around that she gave him money for his mother's treatment". Rong could only known about the money from one of two sources: Zhuang Xu or Xi Guang. Everything we have seen so far indicates that Xi Guang would not have told anyone, except for her cousin because she had to borrow 800 yuan from him. So, it would seem that Zhuang Xu was the source, which leads to the question "Why would he tell anyone about receiving such a large amount of money from someone?"

You note that "Rong kept feeding him lies about FL". Why did he believe her and not the person who "proposed" to him?

Finally, you wrote "as of now he is being decent and not acting like a psycho SML". Unless I am totally mistaken, it was his suggestion for the company group to go to the same ski resort that he had heard Xi Guang was going to. Whilst not stalker level, it is more than a little creepy, in my opinion.

I would a little further than "learning to fall in love again". I see this story as being about learning to trust someone and to trust yourself. Ultimately, a relationship is built on both love and trust, and it is doomed if either is not there or is lost.

Having watch ep 19, I am going to try and resist the urge to watch ep 20 tomorrow. Then, I can watch it, along with 21 and 22, on Thursday.

I loved today's episode, especially the interplay between Xi Guang, Jia Qi, and Yu Sen. It came across as very natural and free-flowing. The fact that Jia Qi tried to provide "dating" advice when he has zero experience himself is exactly the sort of thing that close siblings (cousins, in this case) do.

And the relaxed attitude of the adults is so refreshing to see, in comparison to the usual domineering ones usually seen in other dramas. We briefly saw the usual attitude when Xi Guang's father was praised for listening to his wife and avoiding a bad investment. That clearly annoyed him. The discussion between the two mothers was lovely, and I wonder if we will see Xi Guang's mother get back into business?

If you go to iQIYI, you can see the previews without having to sign up. To watch the actual episodes, you have to join.

Feel free. I must add that to many of the inhabitants of the U.K,, cuisine is a French or Italian swear word.

Perhaps I am the exception that proves the rule. I was born and raised in London, and can assure you that the food in Hong Kong's dai pai dong's made me forget English food very quickly, when I moved there.

I have not seen the previews, so I will rely on what is written here and will watch the episode to see how it plays out.

However, I wonder if she was mad at the situation rather than at Yusen. Did her worry and fear get expressed in both the wrong way and at the wrong target? It is "easier" to get angry at a person rather than a situation that could not be controlled.

Sorry, but I am with SkySphere here, I feel no sympathy towards Zhuang Xu. XiGuang outright told him that she liked him and was going wait for him. His response was to make like a Terracotta soldier, with the same frozen expression.

To be honest, I have never met someone (male or female) who does not act pretty quickly on "deep longing and devotion". If he truly longed for and was devoted to her, then he would have taken the first step towards her.

The early episodes are definitely not reflective of the later ones. I realise that the background to XiGuang's situation (especially with Zhuang Xu) needed to be shown and "explained". However, it was a bit too much, in my opinion.

Apologies, I think I confused you a bit by not be clearer. I do not know what is next in the schedule. So, I was referring to a programme in a general sense rather than a specific one.

My comment was based on the thought that Tencent might want to boost the viewership by starting the new programme on Friday, instead of on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.

As a born and raised Londoner, I must clarify that the green screen scene was of Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament. They were "standing" on the Southbank, Lambeth side of the Thames.

I was referring to the series that will replace Shine on Me when it finishes.

It is possible (probable) that the 1 episode per day is because of the platform's greed, as @Krish728 noted.

However, I wonder if an additional part of the reason is to ensure the next programme starts on a Friday. It seems that the schedule reverts back to 2 episodes per day starting on Thursday. If that continues, the show will end on Thursday, Jan 8, if it is 36 episodes long.
