The best thing is that the person you love happens to love you too.

Even though I watched the whole drama in two days, I still felt emotional and regretful.
The best thing is that the person you love happens to love you too. But if you love her and don't tell her, is it nice?
The lengthy plot seems to be talking about the budding love between the two and their hazy love, but it has gone through world wars and partings of life and death.
I just want to talk about two episodes that moved me:
1. Kenton went to the study to send flowers to Stevens, only to find him reading. I asked him again and again what book he was reading, but he didn't say it, and didn't show it to her. She even asked if it was erotica and he said no. He hid himself behind the curtains. When she approached step by step, their hearts got closer and closer, and their love overflowed; when she took his hand away and grabbed the book, his eyes were full of love Love and nostalgia, looking at the lover in front of him with wet eyes, why didn't he hug her? Why didn't he hold her hand? Love is lost at that moment, and love that is not expressed is not love. Followed by a sentence: Please allow me to enjoy a rare quiet time. How heartbroken she was, how restrained she was of love and longing!
2. Two people are about to part when they say goodbye to the station after 20 years. The bus, which is usually late, arrives early and unsatisfactory at this moment. She still made no secret of her wrong decision to leave, she still wanted to hint how much he didn't want to marry Mr. Bain, she still wanted him to know that she wanted him to keep her. However, he still didn't say a word of his love and reluctance, and he was still highly restraining his inner surging feeling. The last sentence: Mrs. Bain, please take care of yourself! This is the most sincere blessing. It is also the most simple expression in the heart of a lover: I hope that the loved one is all right! But how can she be well without your love? How can she be happy without being with you? Without your company, how could she not miss that time?
The last blessing is the only expressed concern; the last handshake is the most intimate contact. The love of a lifetime is sublimated in this last meeting. Maybe never see each other, maybe only miss, maybe not marry in this life. But this love never fails!

    Also known as "My Love with a Robot Butler", I can't get the touch brought by this kind of forbearance at all. . . This kind of ignorance seems to be of no benefit except to make others anxious to make myself aggrieved. The heroine desperately tried to make the monk return to the secular world and finally lost in the insistence of faith. . . In contrast, the Lord's story seems more interesting. When you can't have both fish and bear's paw, everyone has to choose what they think is important. The male protagonist chooses responsibility, so the female protagonist, you are just not that important.

    The gentleman’s forbearance was exerted to the extreme when Miss Kenton wanted to grab the book in his hand. Mr. Stephen’s expression and eyes at the time probably only Hopkins could grasp it.

  • Stevens: I was too busy serving to listen to the speeches.

  • Reginald Cardinal: You remember that American, Stevens, calling Lord Darlington an Amateur? Well he was right, Stevens. He was damn right.
