Still on Hospital Playlist. Ep 6: How do they make the sad moments so bleak yet the joyful moments so sparkling?

Brain still eaten by Thousand Autumns. Btw, in the animated version Shen Qiao had regained his eyesight earlier (though it isn't as perfect as before), then almost-bluescreen dies (manipulated by Yan Wushu) and as de rigueur for wuxia, this means his skills level up, just in time (with a side plot at Bixia Sect, also killing Kunye) to go rescue his man YWS who is attacked on all sides, dashingly getting in just before the death strike, and gets to cradle WYS in his arms. Ah, I like that they take turns.

*Awaits season 2 with badly concealed impatience*

Thinking of some comparisons between the novel and the adaptation (novel!YWS is a lot less caring at first, doesn't even remember SQ much, unlike his donghua version), as well as the comparisons between Tian Ya Ke the novel and Word of Honor the TV adaptation, where WKX is someone who doesn't have a shixiong connection with ZZS but just crazily stalks him until he gets ZZS to pay attention to him. Wonder if the episodic format tends towards this type of characterisation, i.e. the 'crazy' character really is crazy...

I adore the opening of Thousand Autumns right now. here

Also, how much I melted for Thousand Autumns when I saw those scenes of SQ and YWS playing Go? I don't even play Go but I loved those scenes.

Still on the novel version, chapter 80.
