Ikr, they just grabbed these two tiny lines and ran with them - I love when they do that! :D
Me too! It's one of the things that makes the drama so brilliant, they picked up ALLLL the things from the novel and then made something similar-but-new out of them. That's such a great approach to adaptation! ♥ ♥ ♥
But in this case Shen Wei has explicitly said that he doesn't actually live in his apartment ("I only stop by here occasionally, and rarely for long when I do."), so I somehow filed this under something different than going through someone's lifetime's worth of potentially sentimental belongings and deciding which ones of them can go. Like, yeah, still ITA that asking first is always the better/correct option. But I feel like these are all purely utilitarian objects that can be replaced.
I guess I can see how ZYL might look at it that way, but you can be attached to purely utilitarian objects, and anyway they're Shen Wei's and it's not for ZYL to decide what matters to SW and what doesn't. I really hate the underlying attitude and wish this bit about throwing things out wasn't there.
(On the other hand, why would you even get the idea to replace anything in the first place, if you can just take it and save the money. :P)
Haha, yeah, that too!
I love how they somehow made it exactly the same scene while also being a completely different scene. :D
RIGHT????? :D
They totally took it for the drama from here, didn't they. :D
I thought so, too, but I don't actually remember what's in the novel's version of the kitchen scene, so for all I know it might have been moved there in the novel, too. *g*
