Also, JX has a drive to learn. She was not offended at all by HT's notes on her design but learned from it. She realized how much she can learn from HT. She doesn't realize that HT is invested in Hanhai doing 3D Printing too. When she saw his invite that he was invited to some conference that only important people in the industry attends, she asked to be invited. She just has this voracious appetite to learn. That's what helps her to get over Yichen and HT after those two breakups she has the ability to refocus herself on technology. After her breakup with Yichen, she threw herself into her work and after breakup with HT, she went to Germany for more training. This is her personality. She may be emotional, but she is resilient. This is a strong character.

In this video, XK says he likes fried eggs with pepper, fried meat, and salt and pepper chicken wings. His mom's cooking was not too Cantonese. I think his parents are not originally from Guangdong.

Until I watched it second time, I didn't realize how Ji Xing poured over Han Ting's notes scribbled all over her business proposal she and SZZ passed out to potential investors. Noticed how she grabbed it on her way out, then threw it in the garbage can, only to retrieve it, and spent all night pouring over his notes. Then she revamped her product and was able to get it out super-fast. Even Han Yuan said she was impressed how fast she got her product out.

Why HT likes Wonton, Congee and BBQ Pork, all Cantonese foods. Is it because HT can't eat spicy or because XK likes Cantonese food?

I think XYX cares too much for his daughter that is why he can't commit to marriage. His little girl probably can't handle sharing him with a new wife.

In Ep 12, LiLi shows that she has no problem with using HT's name to purchase the 3D printer ("HT is interesting. He invested in you and now he's getting emotional"), while JX is feeling really awful about misleading others about her relationship to HT. JX started it but it was LiLi who took it further implying there is more to JX and HT's relationship. But JX also went along with it. LiLi is a very smooth talker and will use questionable tactics which is why she went into Sales instead of Engineering, and also, she felt she can get farther ahead. In the novel, she also majored in Engineering if I recall right.

Also, I find HT's attitude about his incident very meaningful in this story. It is why he never liked ZD or others but liked JX. He was really bothered to see this side of JX to call up XYX so late at night to talk to him at Wonton shop.
HT: "She took advantage of me. Who wants this kind of false heartiness?"
XYX told HT people can change.
HT says quite emphatically: "I haven't changed! And I will not change."
XYX wonders if HT is worried about JX.
HT: "Once the rumors start, it'll flood all her efforts."
XYX: "Once you have someone or something to care about, you'll lose your cool."

HT knows JX personality, that she cannot handle vicious rumors. However, him pursuing JX is different than JX being maligned in false rumors. Actually, HT allowed things between him and JX to occur organically just like in the novel, although he did find opportunities to see her for business reasons. He went to the fishing village to try to recruit her to work for Dr. Jiang on Dr. Cloud project, his main project, and Dr. Jiang was impressed with her and needed help, In fact, after she rejected HT, later HT had to find another candidate to help Dr. Jiang which validates his business reasons.

Of course, and thanks

The only clear point was ‘no chemistry.' Beyond that, the writing struck me as ambiguous, laced with sarcasm and irony, making it hard to interpret.

ABAY, a wholesome urban drama, can be as popular as costume dramas, captivating audiences without relying on sensationalism, and its authentic characters and compelling narrative resonate with viewers, underscoring its high production value.

FINALLY, According to Maoyan Data, TV Series ABAY got 2 billion effective views since airing till now.

The 2024 Summer Olympics (7/26 to 8/11) depressed viewership for dramas. ABAY got clipped by the Olympics.

never judge a drama based on MDL ratings

Tian Xi Wei must be very light even though she's 5'6". Every movement XK makes is so graceful.

I don't understand why they released an argument on Chinese Valentine's Day. I think this video is going to get a ton of rewatches.

The fl is a cat and strikes out with her paws like in this video.

Never judge a drama based on MDL rating or any rating. Having said that, this drama has a Douban of 7.2. Dramas with MDL of 8.5 usually can find Douban of 6.5 to 6.8.

Update: Douban is now 7.4

The way he picks her up and carries her feels as light as a feather.

there are so many other actresses

Thanks for the link and the work you did on ABAY.

yes. excellent point. I agree XK can handle himself well against the likes of Yu Zheng.

XK is such a good person, but he’s easily taken advantage of by Yu Zheng, who is known for unethical business tactics and operates his agency on unprofessional exploitation. XK is like a lamb in a lion’s den. However, XK’s resilience and inner strength have helped him succeed in both his professional and personal life. Hopefully, at this point in XK’s career, Yu Zheng has less control over him.

When JX ended up in the hospital due to stress (not eating properly), SZZ said something to HT and HT said if you can't handle this stress,
HT was tough on JX from the beginning
