Love this…. Watched it twice I still find it amazing. It’s perfect. Only sad that it is kinda short. I want more!! Totally don’t understand why the ratings are so low. I find this on the same level as Reunion: Sound of Providence.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Am on repeat but still find some characters like NanGong PuShe superbly alluring and elegant… seriously the only complaint I have is the actress casted for Jiang Ni just doesn’t sit well… she can act etc…. Just she and the ML looks damn weird and I totally can’t tell she is a “fallen” princess…. She doesn’t need to be a beauty, but just the whole aura and room presence is like….. uhhhh very forceful… just wrong.
Just finished reading the novel….. the TV series is much better but there could have been more tweaks here and…
Wouldn’t consider them to be a lot, more than the novel… in the original novel it was superb little. So even in the drama it is noticeably less than other dramas because that is just how the original story is. And in a way it kinda makes sense because he is a pretty active General that goes to war etc. but they are really very sweet though, at least I think the main leads have very good chemistry… but that’s just me.
I’ve watched this for the n-th time…. it surprisingly is still perfect… didn’t think it was like a 10 when I watched it the first time but….. after the repeated rewatches… it’s really superbly close to perfect.
The emperor…. The actor who plays the emperor, his performance calls for a standing ovation… #notevenkidding. All the artiste even minor roles are amazing… and everything is so logical, even sub-plots… that is so rare….
Vengo Gao is super charming here…. Gosh his chemistry with Ma Yili is off the charts… they are so sexy tog! Love this series loads, for once the ending isn’t rushed and they wrapped it up nicely… unlike a lot of the other C-dramas.
Totally agree, in that sense it was very poorly done…. American dramas are the gold standard then K-dramas for…
Yea. Could be that because I just watched a scene in today’s episode and they showed a quick glimpse of a heart via the reflection of her glasses… and it look very real/high budget kinda production. The censorship is weird then, because I think medical knowledge is beneficial for everyone… and seeing is learning…
There’s a lesson the writer is trying to teach throughout the whole drama. An important lesson that women have…
Totally agree, think a lot of the feminism now is slightly misguided… most people esp a lot of females are like trying to be independent which is great but feminism doesn’t mean you should survive without a guy and only depend on yourself. No gender is better than the other but both exist for different reasons and have different strengths and weaknesses. Hence they should not be striving the out-do men or replace them. It is more of both genders should have equal rights to excel in society and also to fall in love or make mistakes.
Based on 6 episodes, it's a good medical drama with a lot of surgery storylines. But still, Korean executed it…
Totally agree, in that sense it was very poorly done…. American dramas are the gold standard then K-dramas for sure. I literally can’t see any of the patient’s organs.
hahaha. thought wjy improved here compare to her previous shows
Lol. I think it’s natural, it’s just repeated. It’s basically the repeated modern version of her character in Yanxi Palace. It’s nearly identical, just with a different backdrop/setting.
It ended… I’m so sad. Still think the ending is slightly rushed, could have done well with at least another 15-20 mins or so to wrap up all the various characters properly. Feels like something is missing, probably due to the editing. I.e wot happened to Zhong Xiu’s mother…… Actually the romantic relationships of the 3 sisters are pretty unique and all very cute in their own way, also kinda believable. Wonder if they modelled the characters based off Soong sisters albeit the different political views. Wish there were more series like that, like the whole running a posh departmental store combined with a few other genres is very refreshing.. I can’t think of any other series which is similar ….
This is so good… like not even kidding… I was super surprised. The production team managed to level up and it’s actually comparable to American dramas in this genre. Very impressed.
Zhou Yi Wei and Zhang Zi Yi….. 😍 damn….. the way he looks at her…… he is really suited for this role……
Just finished reading the novel….. the TV series is much better but there could have been more tweaks here and there to “perfect” it since it deviates from the novel quite a bit. It maintained a lot of the main plots and even dialogues exchanged between characters but they defo changed a lot of the chronological details. Also a lot of dynamics between characters are also different. Even A Wu in the novel is quite different, I MUCH prefer her in TV series, I actually find her quite annoying in the novel (she is always either crying or fainting or both….. not even kidding, like a zillion times)
Zhou Yi Wei and Zhang Zi Yi….. 😍 damn….. the way he looks at her…… he is really suited for this role… and ZZY is just so mesmerising… I would look at her like that too if I had a wife like A Wu. 🤣
I also ❤️ Qin Lan; she is beautiful! 😻 The costumes and the other actresses are also breath-taking. Tbh,…
It is, to me she is defo very elegant; at the very least all the roles I’ve seen her play she has this unique elegance… and I’ve came to realise that is more important for women.
Yeassss, something I’ve learnt to watch and appreciate the past 5 yrs though my Chinese is only intermediate. Lol. Defo hope we bump into each other again on other message boards! ❤️
The ML and FL have put in too much work not to have not only a happy ending but they do not deserve to have a…
Not only chemistry, even the amount of physical contact is super natural and so rare for C-dramas. Like it literally gives butterflies in the stomach when they show their kissing scenes coz there is defo some lust + passion in them. Lol! So cute.

I don’t find her exceptionally beautiful because a lot of Mainland actresses also have similar features if not more striking… but I find her very attractive… it’s mostly her demeanour and the way she carries herself, the way she speaks. Yea, she totally could carry those bangs lol! Yea they totally managed to create like the Chinese equivalent of the Great Gatsby vibe with all the costumes and the set… esp the department store, it reminds me of Harrods in London. But the whole political aspects was a bit much… like not even kidding, I’m surprised I didn’t skip everything. Lol.
Zhe Gu Shao is so cool…
