One of the best medical dramas I've seen. Exciting cases and lovely character development all around, from the two main leads, to the side characters, and even to the antagonists. So many episodes had me in tears. The friendship between the male leads was *chef's kiss* and made the entire series. Honestly the bromance was better than any heterosexual romance I've seen in a C-drama of late. People are ranking it low b/c of the lack of romance, which is so silly to do. Some shows don't need romance. The bromance fulfilled all the needs of the romance, even sharing romantic tropes, and had this not been China, it could have been the main romance. All the two say, if you're open to something different -- with the focus on the clever medical setting and the use of intervention technology, and even seeing disaster relief efforts done with amazing care, this show goes above and beyond. And again, the bromance is magical (they are each other's inspirations and other halves) and those two give you everything you need in terms of emotional resonance.
