Yes! 👏👏👏

Yeah, looks like it. The actress is 20 years old and she will be playing a character who is a surgeon (did not specify if in training or already a consultant) who could probably be in their mid to late 20s. I don't think she will be doing a 20 year old surgeon character.

You were able to finish all 40 episodes in 24 hrs?

As someone who actually tried to time his scenes in one episode, I cannot agree to those numbers. When I hit the 15 min mark of screen time, I stopped because I realized how ridiculous it was. I know it's nitpicking but it's just outrageous. Calling out because he only had 2.5 hrs of close up scenes and the rest are not close up? He filmed for 4 months with a script as thick as a college textbook and it shows. If everyone starts measuring the presence of the actor based only on close-up shots, then we have lost sight of everything else the actor has done on the other non-close up scenes. And that's when a good character is seen as nothing more than a "young loverboy".

Okay, so 2.5 hours of CLOSE-UP scenes for the ML. Not a TOTAL of 2.5 hours for the entire drama. I am watching this and DYX definitely has more than those few minutes per episode that they are claiming. The way people are trying to make this series the “bad guy” is getting out of hand.

2.5 hours of CLOSE-UP scenes, apparently. And then someone, somewhere ran away with that and labelled it as 2.5 hours total scenes. Anyone paying attention to the drama could clearly see that DYX had more than those supposed maximum of 7 mins of screen time in an episode.

So I did something weird and tried to verify the numbers they put there. Lol! I rewatched a past episode and timed his scenes which included him in the foreground, background. And nope. Those numbers are ❌❎🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️. In the episode I rewatched (14), they are off by at least 10 mins. So yeah, don’t believe them.

I’m just curious what the screen time stats are for the other lead actors and supporting actors in comparison with DYX. I know that the time average is not equally distributed for each episode, there will be episodes where there will be more screen time for this actor, etc. Maybe because I am not really watching the entire series for DYX alone (don’t get me wrong, I love DYX and he’s the reason why I started watching this in the first place), it doesn’t feel like he has significantly little screen time as compared to others. When he is onscreen, he takes up that screen time with his presence and his great acting, and that is amazing. I already expected SQ to have more screen time because she is the first lead actor/first billing and the story is mainly about her character. And this story has lots of support characters whose stories interweave with that of the MC and so expectedly they also need some screen time. But I agree, maybe many expected differently.

Did they also mention the screen time for the other actors, including the other main lead Song Qian?

Have you read the novel? I am just curious how different the characters in the series are from the novel?

I am just a tad bit confused. The review indicates that you have gone through 40/40 episodes but you said you feel like dropping this series? So at what episode are you actually making this review from? Just to have an honest gauge at what perspective of the series this review is from. Because I am pretty sure by the 7th episode, DYX definitely had more than 30 mins of screen time.

Rating all episodes in one go? Hahahaha! It kind of reeks of desperation and bitterness. I think I will be sticking with this drama. Interesting, very colorful (including black) characters, plot looks good, too. 👍

I just recently started and episode 1 also hooked me. I, unfortunately, read through the comments before watching. And the HATE for the FL character AND actress is ridiculous. Even before the show aired, so many hateful comments already. It's either the age or the acting, or both, they hate on but now that I am watching this, those comments seem so unjustified and just plain hateful.

Finally started watching this. And the way they built up the siblings' relationship, especially Wei Jun and Wei Yun to endear then to the audience, just so they can rip it out of our hearts a few episodes later... so cruel.

Very interesting so far. Loving this different character or DYX. This will be my first Song Qian drama and I don't see any problems with her acting. I think she's doing a great job.

I think her character (any character) is allowed to have different facets to it and that includes moments of weakness, fear, regret, caution, hesitation, cowardice (?). She may be a brave warrior but it doesn't mean that she has to approach all the other aspects of her life the way she does in a battle.

Hmmm... It's very slow burn so there's really not much physical/skinship in the first half of the series. Very little kissing scenes, which was no issue for me personally, just because it felt refreshing to see the romance side not being carried heavily by the physical aspect of the relationship. But it all boils down to preference. So if you prefer a more intimacy-heavy kind of series, this is not it.

But, again a very personal take, I think they did well in creating a feel of intimacy (non-physical) with the two leads. The long stares, the gradual feeling of closeness, the little gestures. I think that kind of intimacy was nice.

The trailer and synopsis look promising. I am so excited to see Deng Enxi in this kind of role!

I just started it. Looks very interesting!

I say go for it! Give it a few more episodes. 😉

It's not a bad ending. I'd even say it's a good ending, a fitting ending that follows the overall theme and feel of the series.
