To those Chinese viewers, isn't Lingnan in Guangdong Province? I expect to hear more Cantonese than one word from the Lin Jurong character. In episode 8, we hear Cantonese opera playing from a radio or tape player. (If only there were a Cantonese dubbed version for this series...)

@cheerychums89 If "they" will do season 2, I'd rather "they" do Manner of Death Season 2 according to the novel sequel first! :)

Thank you.

@lietk12 Thank you for the list!

Great list, @quiescent It seems you have forgotten the 2024 Let's Talk about Chu. May I request you to compile one for China & Hongkong? :)

@quiescent, thank you for putting together this list. Just have to shift through for the gay (from the BL). :)

@deepakk Since you watched many medical dramas, do you have any Mandarin language ones (with Chinese culture) to recommend? :)

@YESMISSA, I appreciate the information. I've been unable to find the web novel and am curious about Gao Peng's fate. If what you've shared is indeed from the novel, it brings me relief. :)

@Dr Ghost, I think she was referring to Zhi Nan and Peng's relationship.

@LivingTribunal, where can we read the novel, please?

As of episode three, the series primarily revolves around three female leads. The male characters, as well as other female characters, are portrayed as the recipients of their emotions. That's what I see from my lens. :)

@DrGhost, I appreciate your point. Considering SML's education "abroad," one might question whether he should have been more assertive and ended the relationship years earlier, rather than indulging her with material gifts and tolerating her tantrums over the phone. It's possible that the screenwriter intended for his character to be excessively dramatic, to the point of forsaking the rationality supposedly gained from his "studies abroad." :D

@RomanticRosebud_BL, if you're labeling the "new" guy, Qu Yi Peng, as toxic, could you elaborate on why he's deemed "toxic" or, as others have said, a "gold digger" just for befriending a woman at his workplace? Up to episode 3, I haven't seen any behavior that fits those descriptions. I'm quite interested in your viewpoint. :)

@Haruu, at the end of ep. 3, we were led to believe Gao Peng has realized that He Zhi Nan isn't for him. Hope he gets a much better and mature one. (Watching Zhi Nan tantrum scenes was torture for me).

@jpny01 I am interested in how this adaptation will show the relationship and influences of teachers Zhao and Lin compared to those in the novel.

For a male viewer like me, this series has quite good pacing as I didn't need to fast forward much. I am surprised I like this better than the Chinese remake although the Chinese version has more relevant cultural aspects that resonate with me. But, the Chinese version is too melodramatic for male viewers like me. Does anyone know of a translated novel similar to this?

@quesosoup Thank you for the suggestion. I am going to watch the Chinese remake "I Know I love you." :)

@oddshare, thank you for spending the time to elaborate your thoughts on the series. This is the gem of a comment that I am excited to read. It's no wonder what little bit I learned from your profile that we must likely have learned to structure our movie/series reviews from college.

@xxenia95, thank you for details. I am watching this for the food presentations, so I'll be sure to stay away from the "uncut" version.

@DaniGwiz Thank you for the update on the latest DSM (re)classification. Only learned DSM-III in undergrad school back then.
