using his logic, he was probably expecting her to stay at his place afterwards. Most likely because his ex's would have made themselves comfortable in his home in this situation.
he pissed me off when she said she didn't have snowboard and passport he should have made plans with her there.…
I think he was hoping she would still be around by the time he got home (he was looking around for her when he first came home). His surprise for her was himself lol.
As a novel reader, I do appreciate them giving Luke a little more kindness and personality. But as they add this…
As with most web novel adaptations where the ML is not exactly a total green flag, they had to whitewash him a bit to make the romance more palatable on screen.
Personally, I actually love the changes they’ve made to his character. Taotao deserves all the love and attention that novel LN never really gave her. There’s that part in the novel where she says she wants someone who speaks kindly to her because “words are the sharpest knives that cut deep,” and I’m honestly glad drama LN hasn’t been as much of a douchebag or as harsh toward her so far (at least not up to episode 10).
BUT, I do think this also makes the reason behind their 6-year on-and-off situation much less clear compared to the novel. I’ve already seen people saying that Taotao is the reason why their situation lasted for 6 years, because the drama makes it seem like he actually wants a real relationship with her and she’s the one refusing.
In the novel, I felt like the dynamic was much more complicated, and his douchy behaviour played a much bigger role in why they kept going in circles for so long. So while I’m happy they made LN more likeable, I think it also changes how viewers are going to interpret their entire relationship.
He was not even 1% rude to her when her promotion was cut as compared to novel In novel he was so rude i felt…
YES!
Even though he said the exact same words as the novel, the delivery was so much better. I love that the phone part still happened, but he said the words to her in person while in the car. I also love that he was the person who smoothed things over with the client instead of alex.
If he's exactly the same as the novel, it'll be so hard to root for him or them together.
In the novel, what is their relationship actually called? It started at one night stands and turned into a real…
He was so cruel and mean to her - words of affirmation doesn't exist in his world.
Aside from all the angst during the 6 years and the breakup...this part in the novel made me sob so hard:
After she moved back to Harbin, friends and family asked what she looks for in a partner (so they can set her up on blind dates), she said she doesn't care about other qualities or looks, she just wants someone who speaks kindly to her 😭. She said words can be the sharpest knife that cuts deep. Poor taotao.
in the drama, he's too much of a...puppy?! I think the actor is fine, but tone down the puppiness. I always pictured him a bit more reserved. Perhaps he's portraying him like this now so we can see the changes as the story progresses 😭
or we can interpret it as he's been having these thoughts since/for a while now? it's clearly keeping him up at night and I doubt the thoughts just surfaced randomly.
Also does Bai Lu have debt or is she under duress. She pumps out dramas constantly it's sorta insane. Has to be…
she was overworked and she's voiced her what for a long vacation for years. After filming for mo li wrapped in Oct 2025, she took a break and will finally film a new drama in July!
K-Drama 
their lack of communication is so frustrating.
I actually started ugly crying during that scene, thinking about what happens to Yuanzhu. 😭😭
