Hated everything about this medical drama, as per usual for most medical themed Cdramas, BUT I have to admit that the medical cases that they depicted and chose was very very realistic and rarely shown in medical dramas. Topics like post-disaster issues in the hospital such as cross-contamination in the wards, AMR spread which I never knew existed, etc….
And I really really dislike the FL, whether it’s the character, or the actress or both I don’t know… but I think this is probably one of the top 3 FLs I dislike in all the dramas I’ve watched… lol. It becomes a little more bearable in the 2nd half of the drama….
Honestly loved how the siblings relationship was depicted here, it really makes you question if blood relation, something which is the core of Chinese culture, is really that important in defining what a family truly means…. It’s a theme rarely explored in Cdramas..
Ok, Hu Ge and his love interest is really….. not a good match…. Like in all aspects, Hu Ge and that actress are so awkward around one another, it gets a wee bit better after a couple of scenes, but damns, it’s so bad…..
like everything is off. lol. She was defo the wrong actress to be paired with him… it feels like she’s a very green actress for one, visually and chemistry wise is also a pretty bad match. Had to fast forward every time they are on screen….. and the worst part of all is there are quite a bit of scenes with the both of them…..
Ok, the last 3-4 episodes were quite the mess, and the FL just crying frequently is a bit off…. Like crying that much on a job is just…… a weird contrast in comparison to the previous episodes…..
Wow, the webtoon author is an actual ENT surgeon….
This drama is amazing, like eyes glued to the screen for 8 episodes straight, very well written and I loved all the surgical scenes. Korean dramas are at the forefront for medical genres because the surgical scenes are so realistic and detailed! Defo at par with Hollywood productions… Ju Ji Hoon was a good choice, a believable real life eccentric genius surgeon. Not too good looking, old enough but also very charming, and he owned the character…. I totally loved all the little details he embedded into his embodiment of the character…..
It’s been a while since Dr.Romantic, been longing for good medical Kdramas! Thanks for this!!!
Probably just me, but I think her chemistry with Wallace Huo is the weakest….. or at least that arc is the weakest when it was meant to have a profound impact on her life…. i.e her soulmate….
It almost makes me think that the plot/screenwriter is insinuating that a “soulmate” is when love is forever lost……? Or like it is so fleeting and short that there are only good memories, a “limited-edition” love, it is not exhausted by the in-and-outs of life/living together/marriage. Yet, I didn’t think her arc with Wallace Huo was that passionate, intense, compatible or one-of-a-kind…. The whole arc didn’t feel as natural as other arcs, and the one thing I really liked about this drama is the realistic screenplay, or the novel (which I’ve not read)…. BUT to be very fair, every person’s definition of soulmate varies, just like how people view marriage…
It might also be due to the contrast with Lin Geng Xin’s arc, the natural chemistry aside, but this arc was verryyyyy long, unlike Wallace Huo’s arc.
I was only irked by that, everything else was really good. I too rated it somewhere in between 8 to 8.5. If it wasn’t because of the Wallace Huo arc, I would have rated this a 9, it’s a very solid production, cohesive cast, amongst other great bits (i.e intense passion and chemistry with Peng Guang Yin)…
P.S: I’ve always wanted an elder brother, totally envious of Rose’s cute, close and realistic sibling relationship….
Wow, all the FLs in his upcoming dramas are like really pretty and not to mention good actresses with the exception of Song Yi for me, totally neutral towards her….
The feeling you get after completing it is just……. Ugghhhhh….. annoyed, frustrated and totally not satisfying…. But I think most people complete it just because it’s an easy, no-brainer watch… and the pairing between ML and FL… the curiosity, coz the ML has been in a lot of high budget works, highly promoted…. And he just has a natural screen presence….
And honestly if I had a father like this one, I might have just strangled him… I mean, this is like horrible, he didn’t even get any confrontation, no showdown, like everyone just let him be, I mean, why does he deserve to have a happy ending……….? 🤦🏻♀️
Had high hopes for this drama in the first few episodes…. Ended up with a big disappointment…
Honestly I am team Yan Lin. Zhang Zhe is too moody, he looks depressed half of the time. ML Xie Wei too aggressive…
I thought the same too….. I think it’s partially because in reality, in the current modern day world…. most females would have fallen in love with a real life Yan Lin (given such a good guy exist 🤣🤣）

Lucky him… hope they all turn out to be big hits…

This is such an emotional tv series, in a very relatable way….
Just some of the places they shot at makes you think they shot it outside of China….
