Acting was great but narrative could have been tighter
The chemistry between the leads was palpable. The first 18 or so episodes kept me engaged, and then the plot took unnecessary turns that they could not justify with narrative or budget. They could have kept this to 16 without issues. So why stretch it? It had a lot going for it, but I forgot everything good because the story became more and more ridiculous as it went on.
Actors did a great job, overall. There was a standout and it was the actor behind Chi Cheng. I, by no means, have found him appealing or attractive before seeing his acting. But afterwards, I was just waiting for his scenes. I think he may be a truly promising actor. His mannerisms and reactions seem just so appropriate to his character. Also friendship between Chi Cheng him Cheng Yu was wholesome. Altho why is it so deep was unclear.
I cannot fully trash the story as I appreciated subtle mature moments, such as the way they overcame the main hurdle of the plot. Also Xiao Shuai as the doctor was cute and interesting.
So you see I am full of confusion. I would recommend this drama as a watch. Output was pretty decent and I agree, it was decent. I would watch both leads in dramas again, this drama deserves a rewatch as well, it just was not particularly memorable as a whole.
