I know I might be biased because I prefer reading the light novels to watching the anime, but I really don’t like the way the anime handles some important scenes between Maoamo and Jinshi.

Because how can you go from this?

To this?!

Where’s the “she wasn’t sure how she knew, but she knew: she was sure she had seen him.”?!

Or her thinking that he migh be there to save her?!

The reunion scene was better, still not as impactful as in the books, but I can admit this is subjective.

Also, I don’t understand why they didn’t include this line when Maomao gave the hairpin to Loulan?

It’s wasn’t fine to not have it returned because she didn’t care that much. It was fine because she thought the hairpin might come back to her like its original owner does.

Love in The Apothecary Diaries isn’t loud.

Our society tells us love is in the grand gestures, in perfection, in physical attraction and loss of self in the pursuit of lust. In a way, not too different from Li’s society built on sex as commerce where people are used and thrown away. The desire of a grand romance played before a crowd on jealous onlookers.

But love, true love is understated.

Jinshi doesn’t come to Maomao’s aid with blazing guns but a song titled “Echo II”. He walks to Maomao. She steps towards him.

It’s in the way Jinshi immediately falls back into his true self around Maomao

How Maomao starts cracking the driest jokes with a tender smile

How she misses Jinshi’s confused concern over her antics

Jinshi reaching for her bruised cheek. Maomao not shying away.

It’s the quiet. The calm of two people existing in their own world like the echo of a forgotten memory. These little peeks into a beautiful relationship built on mutual respect and care for one another. A performance for no one.

The Apothecary Diaries is not a romance, yet it is rooted in love. Love of friends, love of strangers, love of family, and at the heart of it all, the quiet love of Jinshi and Maomao.

i think my favourite part of JinMao is that he always gets so upset and serious when he hears about her being mistreated or hurt, and she's like "why does he even care?? it's a mystery" and then never examines it

queen of burying her head in the sand

EXACTLYYYY my guy is so obvious and yet maomao is completely unaware of his pining it’s just like:

but that’s the whole show. and they solve mysteries too ig

The frog, huh?

ID- Digital art of the "baking my bf into a cookie because I miss him" meme, with Jinshi (Apothecary Diaries) replacing the person holding Maomao as the cookie. The text text in front of the drawing reads "baking my apothecary into a cookie because I miss her."

This has probably been done before but it was all I could think of.
