Ah that… The Long Season, I just came across it yesterday… waiting for it to be completed. 🤓

Ok, same then coz I can understand spoken Mandarin relatively well so I actually didn’t stare hard at the subtitles… but it did honestly look more than acceptable when I was reading them. But I only watched 1 episode. Ooo, let me check wot The Long Season is again, sounds familiar.

Ah… ok… lol. Yea, it’s quite… fine… like really minor bits here and there but it’s almost goes unnoticed… I was thinking…. “MDL members have very high standards for the psychiatric medical terms…….? 🤔 but I haven’t even seen much medical terms yet….”

Ok, thanks.

Lol. It’s apparently said that this folder is the basis for Season 3… and at the end of Season 2… it was the key for the MS (multiple sclerosis) diagnosis of Kim Sa Bu…. MS currently has no cure.

if… you remember any of that at all….. lol… 🤣🤣🤣

“ She also confessed her feelings for Woo-jin to him and the two have begun dating, but the most interesting part about the last episode is the 'Oddball Project'. The project currently consists of all the cases, diagnoses that Doldam Hospital has come across in the past year, which was unique in some form or other. It is an entry of all possible diagnoses for cases that might otherwise seem tough to crack, and armed with this, Kim Sabu forges a new path for Doldam Hospital.”

You don’t remember that folder thing in S2?

No idea if you are a big fan of the cast but if you are talking about the plot it’s based on Dao Mu Bi Ji novels/universe…. So they have a weird thing about recasting for every single “season”…. It’s basically a Mainland thing anyways….

But according to the novel….. this is your “Season 3”:

They haven’t made plans to do TV adaptations for “Season 2” yet, likely because it’s actually meant to be the “finale” for the main novels. But am pretty sure the author will likely do so eventually coz he started his own production company.

😍😍😍 thanks for the production background.

Yeap, The Resident is not bad, but I am defo surprised it got extended for so many seasons.
Yea, sad that C-dramas won’t. Dr.Tang started off so strongly though, gave me some hope 😇. And I checked, wow, the Douban ratings are high, but with low viewership.

Lol, fair point. I do think it sounds nicer than “Mary Sue”, lol why can’t it just be playgirls instead…. 🤣🤣🤣

I actually think the whole promiscuity is only gender biased in some countries in Asia (which I believe will remain so for another 1-2 decades, and in some countries probably forever….. 😔), in most Caucasian countries or in the West it kinda is quite equal already.

I saw a lot of people below commenting on the subs too, I’m on Ep 1 now and it seems…… fine….. 🤔

I’m watching the first episode now… it seems fine…..? Does it get really bad as it progresses or is MGTV cleaning up as they air?

People, I have a question…. (although many months later…)

Is there a reason why all C-dramas NEVER everrrr show like “real” surgery/outpatient scenes? Is it because of censorship? Like is it a hard censorship regulation or are producers just avoiding it altogether because it could be potentially be disturbing/nauseating for some viewers…..?

Think part of the reason why the series kinda lost steam as it progressed was because it didn’t have enough technical material to work on although it started off pretty technical… and of course romance was never the primary focus so 36 episodes is just way too long in that sense.

Ah, I tried that too…. But sadly the romance thing didn’t work for me.

So part of wot I meant wrt to the Medical theme being a let down is that for C-dramas it never stands as a fair/true main theme…. It’s mostly romance driven and the medical bit is very very small….. I suspect it’s coz of censorship….? Which I think is weird. So for example…. There will never be a Grey’s Anatomy.. coz I realised Mainland medical dramas don’t show the surgery/outpatient scenes…. Like I think it’s the blood….? Or the gore…..? Hence why they will never do like a real forensic science kinda series as well I think.

I was very excited for the Qin Lan’s Dr.Tang…. But sighs, I gave up in the end too coz it was 36 eps. By about 20 episodes in, I can’t even observe a surgery…. I just was lost… lol, coz that one wasn’t really romance driven. It was actually closer to Grey’s Anatomy… or Life.

I wonder wot will happen now that they’ve closed Oddball Project….. 🤔

Ah. I watched that… but reminded me too much of Descendants of the Sun… think I didn’t complete it, shy of 5 episodes or something, was kinda too long.

Thanks!

Sighs. Yea, the actress was one of the SFLs in Sword Snow Stride…. I was so looking forward to this… I just deleted my “plan to watch”…. 😔

But I have to say I had reservations. I’ve never came across a C-drama with the Medical theme that is actually well produced/written.

What’s up with Peng Guan Ying and all these jinxed ML characters he takes on….. I came here just to check if I should have any hope….. and ta-da… it turns out as expected…. He plays yet again another twisted ML.

Sad, I really like the actress for the FL.

Hurmmm… was looking at comments/reviews to see if I should watch this… coz the Douban score is lower than wot I expected.

Sounds like they are trying to go down the K-drama route i.e My Liberation Notes, My Mister etc… but S.Korean dramas started this genre a few yrs back. It isn’t easy to master because it kinda is very artsy, abstract blended into routine, mundanity, nothingness and all just metaphorical at times.

30 eps could defo be too long… S.Korea sticks to the 16-hour/16episodes thing mostly… which makes this 6 episodes too long… so 24 episodes would likely have been the “golden” number… not so sure if I should even attempt this now… 🤣

Sighs, so true… sad… social norms…. Die hard….
