Its the wishing on fireworks while burning the sparklers for me lol
he's wishing that she'll come back to him he drank because she said drinking can make you forget everything he made a wish because she said something about that too
They both are good conveying the emotions. I saw JX scared of HT for the first time...and HT, hats up to XK for…
They both were scared. you could see it in her eyes (and body language) the whole time, frightened, lost, dispirited, dazed, angry, shaken, stunned, uncontrollable, shattered, provocative, smug, etc. and HT is more restrained so you would see fleeting moments of fear (of losing her), anxiety (feeling bad for her), desperation (what else can I say), and frustration (no amount of logic can seem to get through to her), anger (that she can be so unreasonable), and gentleness (console her) in his eyes. At one point, HT is breathing heavily because he's about to lose it and I went back to the novel, and it said it was that moment that it was a rare moment HT lost his restraint. "HT's eyes turned cold and he finally lost his usual restraint." "HT's face turned pale and his jaw twitched in restraint." "HT's face changed with irritation."
The only element I felt in the novel I didn't pick up in the scene was that I got the feeling HT still has a sense of sarcasm about him when he said, ' you'll have to continue to be my bed companion" but that's just my interpretation since he said it with a smile. XK did it differently i'm sure the director choice. The emotions match the novel very closely. HT started out very calm too. the breakup scene is mesmerizing to watch, each time you rewatch it, you find something you didn't noticed before
It's good they didn't follow the novel exactly. JX cried like a baby all night long. This drama adaptation has taken the novel and turned it into something beautiful to watch.
Oh, that translation should have been "I've been sleeping with you for so long", not "I've been with you for so long", that's when Han Ting's eyes flared up at her. And then he should have said "so you will have to continue your job as my bed companion", because now, he has 54% of the shares.
You have to watch that confrontation scene a few times. I noticed how fast Han Ting pulled the paper out of the drawer and toss out some with one hand. It's fast hand work. Poor Ji Xing, she looks like scared wild animal.
HT: IF XingChen is just a chess piece to me, why would I get the shares back? You can have it all if you want.
At this point, JX is too scared of him.
I'm really struggling to understand. He's offering her his shares of XingChen which he paid a heavy price to get back. I guess when a person feels violated by someone they love, it hurts too much.
But HT didn't want to merge until they forced his hands, right? The Hanghai executive asked why she doesn't discuss merger with Mr. Han instead of him. JX has a habit of avoiding HT.
The Hanghai exec said: Actually, at first, it me who mentioned the idea of merger to Mr. Han but was rejected. Later, Mr. Han talked about the merger again and especially emphasized not annexed but organic integration."
HT said to Grandpa: JX has a lot of merits I don't have.
Grandpa: Your hobbies, perspectives, values, and even love angles are so different. Of course, this is the reason you're attracted to each other now. But as time goes by, this is what will cause contradictions between you. You have opposite tempers. Which one of you will concede?
HT: No one is born to be a perfect couple. I believe in our love.
(But HT, your definition of love is different than JX's idea of love.)
If i were JX i will also have distrust issue. First the company she worked betrayed her after worked there for…
JX is too focused on work. I think later on in the novel, she can decide to join a small company or stay in a big company, and she makes the decision to stay with a big company and focus on R&D projects. I think it's more suitable for her personality.
How can hanting sister betrayed him like that, hurting her family own company just to bring him down and siding…
Members of dynasty families are raised in an environment of intense competition for power, wealth, and influence, often leading to ruthless behavior. Ji Xing, on the other hand, is a kind, honest, hardworking, passionate, compassionate, courageous, and tenacious little genius. She dedicates herself to innovating products and growing her startup, unaware of the snares and traps of the elite corporate world. As a small-town girl, she finds this environment frightening.
The merger will cause her to break up with HT, similar to how she retreats home after the one-night stand, then avoids him. When she is confused, she needs time to process.
Han Ting tried to protect her but couldn’t. He usually controls every situation, but Ji Xing is too much for him to handle. She is her own person just like she stood up to sexual harassment when everyone told her to forgive, but finding out about the merger has shattered her confidence.
It seems to me HT didn't want to merge. He was forced to. He had faith JX would find the right product positioning for XingChen for her startup to survive, instead of competing head on with Hanghai. I think HT felt that if it came to it, there was time to discuss a merger with her in the future. He never betrayed her.
JX fell in love with HT and this merger made her feel like a pawn. She thought that if he loves her, he will tell her everything that goes on. But that's not how HT sees love. Eventually, they will reconcile and start over.
