Ok, The Oath of Love has been out long enough that I don't feel bad about posting an appropriately-tagged spoiler. And I'm STILL bothered by this months and months after watching, so:
Early on, the Dad has stomach cancer, and the rival doctor guy wants to do a big extreme surgery to have the best chance of preventing the patient eventually dying from cancer. Gu Wei wants to do a more limited surgery that will treat the cancer while enable the patient to have a better quality of life and still be able to eat normally. The patient opts for the more limited surgery...and eventually DIES OF CANCER. Gu Wei's reaction is just "yes, cancer is very sad, sigh," without any consideration of how they reached this point. The show doesn't seem to realize it has proved that rival doctor guy was right?
(The show also doesn't realize that being a serious cello player involves hours and hours of practice, but I digress...)
'A more exclusive version of Super-Wax, rich in colours and bubbling, and printed with a gloss finish. The most defining (and beloved) feature of a Super-Wax is its duo-colour “bubbling” print effect...
...Grand Super-Wax is a luxurious twist on the original, using Vlisco cotton satin. Grand Super-Wax is made using a highly-unique wax printing technique unlike any other in the world: every piece is created with an unequalled and extraordinary level of care and precision.
First, a design in liquid wax is printed on cotton satin. A base dye such as indigo soaks into the cloth around the wax, leaving behind a deep, intense colour. The magic of the ‘wax-breaking’ during the printing process results in a large, irregular pattern of vein-like bubbles throughout the design.
One single piece of Grand Super-Wax goes through an average of 27 total step before it receives a final gloss finish, and a select number of Grand Super-Wax fabrics are covered from edge-to-edge in transparent glitter.'
Every so often, I remember that like 80% of Tumblr (myself included) was completely enraptured by a show where the big twist was that the main character forgot his childhood friend was murdered by his sister, and for some reason only remembers his childhood friend ever existing as a dog.
