I'm just in love with the way he's handling her - he can read the signs, he doesn't push too much but he knows when to be firm, and when it happens I know I'm going to believe her opening up to him and daring to trust him. I wondered how it was going to work, this cynical heroine and gentle-spirit main guy, but then we got that peek into his past and I like him even more now that I know he's lived through some hard things and understands her because he can relate.
(I saw that spoiler! I CAN'T WAIT.)
I don't think Fashion 70s is my kind of thing, but I've since gone and downloaded all of What's Up Fox? because I want to look at CJM some more. I'm trying to think if there have been any dramas where I was completely against canon and I can't remember any. I think dramas are generally very good with that sort of thing, because they're so heavily focussed on relationships they work the same way romance novels do, by presenting us with heroes and heroines who we feel complement each other. I read a lot of (primarily historical) romances, and I never get to a point in the book where I think, "Man, I wish she'd end up with her good-natured best friend" because the hero always has that edge over the side character.
I could watch the meeting scene in CU all day, her snarl! His smile. Ahhh three more days!

I love that too. I love that 'nice guy' doesn't mean pushover - just someone who can relate to her issues and has overcome his own to be a good person.
WUF wasn't my thing (I watched the entire thing just because of CJM) but a lot of people love it.
