Good for career-focused main characters but bad for the lack of spark between leads
I started to appreciate the acting of Liu Yu Hang and Liu Xi Yu recently so when this drama was released, I watched it within 24 hours of its release. Overall I must say I expected more from both of them. This drama left me feeling there was something missing.
What I liked:
1. Career - The drama revolved a lot around their work at the hospital. It's nice to see 2 career-focused characters on vertical screen.
2. Main characters - Likeable & modest. I liked FL's firm stance on professionalism.
3. Supporting characters - I liked ML's sister & her close colleague. I also liked the male doctor.
4. Romance - Slowburn. A few kisses. It's adorable that she's shy about having their relationship out in the open. Sweet ending.
5. Tone - Minimal toxicity. I liked that there was no draggy antagonist arc.
What I disliked:
1. Antagonist - The doctor who had a crush on ML was annoying. Acted like a child. I also disliked ML's mother for being foolish & selfish. FL's ex boyfriend was annoying too.
2. Chemistry - I didn't sense any spark between Liu Yu Hang and Liu Xi Yu, which is a shame. Both of them can do great kissing scenes but in this drama, I felt like any passion / desire was put down as though it was unwanted fire. At times I felt their scenes together "sterile"
