That's how I interpreted it.

I agree with your ps, it will be interesting to see how that plays out.

I agree, I think Luo Yi Zhou is going to have a great future in acting. I am going to start following his projects and hope he gets more roles.

I don't want him to do anything bad either. I actually like his character and wish they would give him more screen time, especially with Tou Tou, I think those two would have great dialogue, maybe she can help be a bit more outspoken, etc.

First all let me I haven't ever really been a fan of Esther Yu, but after watching the trailer for this.... I really think I might enjoy it. It seems she is taking on a more dynamic and serious role and I can't wait to see it. Another thing, only 24 episodes??? What... that trailer looked like it would have so much more to the story, it will definitely be interesting to see how they get all that in only 24 episodes. I just hope it doesn't make the story seem rushed. Definitely going to be a must watch!

The best relationship in this entire drama is between Tou Tou and her master, Ren Xin Zheng. I love their dynamic and their interactions.

A few keynotes: (maybe spoiler)

~~The show today was very well done, and had a lot of good insight and thoughts and maturity.

~~ It was so nice that there was a lot less of Meng Meng, every time I see her, she makes me cringe, she is like a little child clinging...

~~ I think we maybe headed to a bad road for Li Quan. I can see the envy or jealousy he gets when Tou Tou or any of the others are chosen to help over him. I have a feeling he is going to do something unintentionally bad to get noticed or approval.

~~I also see a bit of envy, maybe even jealousy that Tian Zhen has toward Tou Tou's relationship with TZ's father. I like how Tou Tou asked him, "you have been studying this since young, have you ever felt enlightened?" made him pause..

A lot of great little moments in this episode.

yeah, I am having a hard time getting into any other drama right now, and I have tried several. I am really wanting to watch Dr. Romantic 3, but it isn't showing up in my area right now.

I agree. There are so many little lessons within this drama. I love it. Still so much growth needed. We haven't even gotten to Tou Tou's problems (and we know she has her own, by just how she acts and jokes around, etc.). I do love how she is strong, honest, and so smart. This character is perfectly written for and acted by ZLS.

I didn't even think that was the reason he got her drunk. I just assumed he was doing it to mess with her. That reasoning makes me even more irate. He shouldn't be allowed to go and his mother needs to put her damn foot down and kick Meng Meng out.

I am still in the middle of episode 10, but I had to pause to basically come here and repeat/say what everyone else has already been saying. I can't even with the ML anymore. I completely agree with everyone else's assessment and vibes about the ML. Can we get him drunk and throw him into the river and he can take his precious Meng Meng with him?!?

That is exactly how I feel. I actually want to see more Chinese medicine, that is interesting to me. These psychological problems are a bit irritating. I agree with you she needs to see a therapist or something more. I know Chinese medicine also focuses on wellbeing and mental health to a point, but there are just some cases that need more help than a 26 yr old just out of med school still learning TCM can give. The fact that his parents are still allowing this and allowing her to live with them, is wrong in so many ways. They said Meng Meng's parents need to be around for the treatment to work, so how is this situation right now making her any better?

I came here to say that exact thing. Wanted to add also I hope honestly that RTZ and Tou Tou never get together in this series, especially after what happened. The fact he just sat there, I was totally shocked and all the adults/elders knew he was the one who was really responsible. I am glad his father said what he said to RTZ's mother, I just wish he had of said it to RTZ as well.

Also, RTZ is going way overboard with Meng Meng. His mother is trying to put a stop to it, but she is being way to soft. She needs to be firm and put her foot down. That whole situation is going to get really bad. RTZ said he wants to make up for what his misdiagnose with Meng Meng, will he try to make up with Tou Tou as well, after getting her almost drowned or worse? Doubtful!

I thought that she would become friends with ZLS's character and then she would go for the glasses guy (Li Quan?), I didn't know they were taking Meng Meng's character in this type of direction.

I think they did operate, but after the operation supposedly she became unstable and self harming

I agree. I think she is going to develop deep feelings for him, even though he says he is trying to heal her, but I think it is going to become an unhealthy relationship and then something is going to happen (if judging by the into or end credits)

I have to say I do not like the whole Meng Meng and Tian Zhen thing going on. Like his mother said, he seems to be acting above and beyond how a physician should act toward a patient. One of the worst things you can do as a physician or mental health person is being to emotional, because one will start being dependent on the other and it could lead to feelings that aren't mutual and/or end up in a very unhealthy relationship. He basically drops and does everything for Meng Meng right now and it is a bit excessive. Also, I think there is a lot more going on with Meng Meng than just her losing her mind from having an ectopic pregnancy.

The mother of the girl in the wheelchair (the actress playing her) seems to play a lot of mother roles. She was also the depressed, sort of out of control mother of Bai Lu's character in Ordinary Greatness and Ning Meng's (Seven Tan) mother in Master of My Own. Although, in the cast list above it doesn't have her listed.

I think the TCM doctors in this series are preforming more mental health therapy than actual medicinal help. I want to see more of the medicinal/herb/acupuncture help/therapy.

I agree.

we don't know yet, right now they act like siblings more than anything toward each other. and the ML is to wrapped up in Meng Meng right now

I thought the description for Love Better Than Immortality was wrong, but I haven't really finished that one, have only watched the first few episodes. Besides Hu Tong, it is the only one I haven't finished or watched of ZLS's dramas.

I agree. I can't imagine anyone else playing this role. ZLS is perfect.
