When it rains, it pours....

Mid series review :
Dr. Liu Zheng Liang played by Xiao Zhan returns to his childhood hometown after losing a patient, getting fired, getting dumped by his girlfriend, giving up his car after an accident, and learning that his mother is missing. Once home, he has to deal with Liu Zheng Guang, his estranged brother's health crisis, the search for his mother, his brother's zany boss, and he gets manipulated into taking a job at a small community hospital.

Positives:
The acting from the ensemble cast is good. I enjoyed the relationship between Dr. Lui and his childhood best friend Chen Jun Nan.

Negatives:
At this point, I'm not completely sold on the love story plot between Dr. Liu and Ai Chen. They frankly seem like an unlikely pair with little in common. Not to mention her first instinct seems to be to hit him whenever she's displeased. Her family also seem sketchy with her klepto mother and slightly reformed mafia boss father. Also the actress who plays Ai Chen, she's been praised for her natural acting, but I don't find it natural it all. I guess it's "natural" when it's compared to your typical over the top idol actresses.

Looking forward to:
How Dr. Liu repairs his estranged relationship with his brother. And what his bestie Dr. Chen Jun Nam decides to do with his career.

I will likely continue watching and may edit my review at a later date.
