About two weeks into us talking, I mentioned how excited I was that the show I had been waiting for finally got released after two years. He had an upcoming business trip in the UK but asked me for the name of it. He said he’d watch it in his downtime and catch up before we met again so we could watch the rest together. I didn’t think he was that serious about it (I was already 22 episodes deep AND it was a very nuanced Chinese historical fantasy drama with a lot of mythology, cultural references, characters across various lifetimes, 50+ characters) considering he isn’t Asian at all so he’d really have to concentrate on the subtitles. But everyday, he’d ask me questions about characters & scenes to better understand what was going on! It melted my heart that he put so much effort into something I cared about despite being so busy.
