The start is urgh, granted, but Lin Jing being okay with Sha Ya straight-up trying to murder him (and being a total fanboy over her music) did a lot to win me over.

This is me. I see the points raised, I see the pushiness, it's not a good look on a dude. But somehow for me it comes together, she has more baggage than she ever tells him, he adores her, he brings Zhu Hong on a date... (And I'm personally also very awwww about the sky thing.)
