Kusuriya no Hitorigoto | Ep36 | I won't say anything. To me, Lord Jinshi is Lord Jinshi. That's how I truly feel. Whether you have balls or not, it's not like I'd be looking at them anyway. So it doesn't matter to me.
Kusuriya no Hitorigoto | Ep36 | I've always been slow when it comes to understanding human feelings. The big sisters who raised me were hard-working courtesans. No matter how much I cried, they left me alone until they were done with work. I heard it didn't take long for me to learn to stop crying. Maybe that's why I struggle to recognize both kindness and malice in people.

All About Perspective
This scene was special to me because while we could say a lot about Jinshi blushing because heโs startled or MaoMaoโs purely clinical concern for his health, I think thereโs also an interesting dual perspective going on here.
When MaoMao strips to keep from catching cold she says that sheโll keep her undergarments on cause even though itโs โjust a set of skinny ribsโ sheโd like to conceal what she can. To me, even though itโs a small comment, that came across like she finds herself so unappealing and thin. Switch to when sheโs checking Jinshi for fever.
He blushes and looks at her. We then get this image of her from his eyes and itโs not an impression of a young woman whoโs frail with skinny ribs, to him sheโs beautiful. Slight but pretty. Weโre meant to know heโs taken with her. All this is about how the other perceives themselves. MaoMao sees herself as thin from being a working class girl but Jinshi perceives her as lovely. Jinshi sees his beauty as a tool but MaoMao, while acknowledging it, moves past it to the man underneath who needs her care and concern.
Itโs about the person, for both of them. Thatโs how they bring value to one another because what they donโt see in themselves, the other sees perfectly. ๐
