Good show but the kissing is so awkward because the FM looks uncomfortable. They should've cut out the kissing scenes in that case because it looks weird
Again, I repeat: this show should've been a 24 episode drama, maybe even 16 like k-dramas. Basically, the plot repeats from episode 4 to 26 with nothing of substance actually happening and no plot progression. I'm only watching it til the end because I've invested too much time haha. I give it a 2/10. The screenwriter should never write anything again. And also, Miles Wei is too popular to star as the 2ML in my opinion. He's already stared in so many shows so this move doesn't really make sense. I come in peace, don't roast me, just my opinion lol. Happy sunday everybody!
i was holding off to binge. Is it still push and pull at this point or are they together yet? someone please spoil…
just wait to binge it, nothing significant has happened thus far. don't waste your time waiting for daily episodes like us. wait for them all to air so you can skip through the nonsense lol
This drama has been quite a disappointment for me. The plot feels uninspiring, and Bai Lu's character doesn't…
agreed. empty plot, nothing significant has happened in 16 episodes. The current episodes could've fit into 6. I can't believe we have 20 more episodes to go omgggg, Bai Lu is waaay too big and seasoned for this stupid plot.
I know what you mean you’re not alone and again it’s supposed to be in Africa I think 💀☠️🤪Unfortunately…
Totally agree with you sis. I remember the outrage from the Arab community after the appearance of a Gulf business man in 'King the Land', and a lot of Koreans didn't understand the backlash.
When you are portraying other cultures that you are not familiar with, you should do so with respect and proper research. However, it seems a lot of Asian filmmakers are ok with perpetuating stereotypes about other cultures, but when it is done to them, they are outraged and want instant cancelation. It's sad that this continues, and I hope to never see this trope again in any dramas. Asian dramas have a large support base across Africa and the diaspora, and we deserve to be treated with respect.
PS: thanks for your support, I was expecting to be met with a lot of pushback but I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing this problem :)
Yeah, their interpretation of places other than China is sometimes perplexing. This is how stereotypes and close-minded…
Exactly, and this is about the 4th C-drama I've seen use this trope, and it's really unnerving. It's like they forget how big of a black/foreign base they have watching and supporting their shows. Soon as I see this plot I turn off the show or wait until they're back to China. I feel like the Korean shows also do this sometimes but definitely not to this degree, hence why I only mentioned C-dramas at first.

Yeah I 100% agree with you, I just think there are rural areas in China that also need medical aid, whether they are portraying a fictional place in Africa or somewhere else, the inclusion of these stereotypes is not ok, and I think Chinese would be outraged if they were portrayed in this way in western Media, and rightfully so.
I really wish C-dramas would stop with these "medical aid in third world country" tropes. It's actually hella racist to see these black or brown kids with "stains" on their faces to appear poor or destitute. Turns me off. Next time stick to another plot, thanks
I come in peace, don't roast me, just my opinion lol.
Happy sunday everybody!
