In the book, the boyfriend is a professor of history at NYU, and spends almost zero time writing, in an archive, or discussing history at all. I still love the series but wish the academia part was a little more realistic! They dropped the historian thing for the film.
The most unrealistic part of "Crazy Rich Asians" was when the supposed NYU professor spent her entire Spring Break abroad without a) checking her e-mail, b) verbally worrying about the work she wasn't getting done, and c) lamenting that she has to return to teaching in a week.

Also, in the book, it was summer vacation when they go, which makes more sense and lets them stay in Asia longer.

Everyone in that move had an overly flexible work schedule. What did Nick do for a living?

My favorite was the brilliant and totally believeable use of game theory in a mid-lecture, 1-on-1 poker game against a student.

I’ve ran IT at school and college level in state schools...an act of Congress can’t get some faculty to check anything during spring, summer or Christmas breaks. But yea the spring break trip is kind of short for the film, book is summer break
