Ji Xing is oblivious of Han Ting’s feelings for her, viewing him solely as an investor and mentor. Even so, she would be very cautious about risking their professional relationship and jeopardizing her startup.
I'm so glad to see scenes of them working too and showing the equipment, materials, process (rapid prototyping which is expensive) used to make the product. The medical field their products are used in requires a good amount of funding to succeed. Even though they do the software, but they have to also create a product to prove their concept works and collaborate with hospitals on trials with patients too.
The actor has to appear unemotional while still convey underlying feelings. He must balance having a calm and composed exterior with subtle emotional expressions. HT is human after all and experiences emotions internally.
The two are talking about the cat but HT is really thinking of JX: JX: Without me, Dahuang would have been dead HT looking down at the cat: It's been ten years. I just didn't know I could see you again. It's all good. JX: It is. Look, it's nice and plump.
This exchange was funny too: HT: Why didn't I see the cat last time? JX: Last time?
HT misses his parents on New Year's Eve. In the novel, ZD has known HT for only four years but in the drama, they're childhood family friends, she also has a crush on him even though they both know they won't ever marry because he doesn't have those kinds of feelings for her but she still hangs around him, both for business reasons and personal reasons, hoping he'd come around to her one day, and he's okay with her hanging around him since he has no girlfriend yet and they've been together like that for years, that seems to be their relationship. Grandpa is good friend of ZD's father and HT's family think highly of Zeng Di and hope they can be a couple. Perhaps, when they first started out, he liked Zeng Di and thought they could marry one day as Grandpa suggested, but she fell out of favor with him. Hang Ting could marry someone for benefits and not love, until he met Ji Xing. The drama portrays HT as a loner, reclusive, and introverted in his personal life, yet adept at navigating business and social interactions. His skillfulness doesn’t stem from extroversion but rather from his understanding of human dynamics. He is a multifaceted and complex person given his loss of parents at an early age, raised by a hard but very loving grandfather and brought up in a wealthy competitive family business environment. He has become even more competitive and aggressive in business than his grandfather who mentored him.
LL and XYX chemistry are really good. HRX portrayal of LL makes her character fascinating to watch. Her demeanor and mannerisms convey a lot about her character. These two should do a drama together but the actor doesn't do much acting. When I first watched Royal Feast, this actor stood out to me.
