Also a little additional advice on basic life support for anyone reading the comments: If you find someone passed out on the street, remember DR S ABC. D - Danger. Make sure the surroundings are safe. If the person is in a vulnerable place e.g. passed out near shattered glass or there’s falling debris and it’s not safe for you to approach, then don’t. While it is generally deemed noble to risk your life to save someone else, practically speaking it’s better not to have two casualties - that only limits resources further. If it is safe to approach however, by all means, do go ahead. R - Response. Check if the person is responsive by saying “Hello, sir/miss, can you hear me?” in a loud, clear voice. Lower yourself to their ears and repeat the question clearly. You can also GENTLY shake their shoulders as long as they haven’t been in any physical accident. If they’re responsive i.e. opening their eyes or saying words, that’s a good sign and you can stop here and call help. If not, it’s bad so you need to move onto the next step. S - Shout for help. If there’s someone with you or you’re in a public place, ask them to call the emergency services (911 for America, 999 in the UK). Ask someone else to get an automated external defibrillator which should be around if you’re in a public place (there are instructions on it, should you be advised to use it by the emergency service operator in the meantime). If you’re alone, call the emergency service yourself, putting the phone on speaker as you move to the next step. A - Airway. Check inside the person’s mouth to see if there is anything obstructing their airway. If it’s something you can reach, pull it out. If it’s something like vomit or it’s too far down and you can’t remove it, leave it there. Move onto the next step. B - Breathing. Check the person’s breathing by lowering yourself to their mouth and nose and try to feel if there’s any breaths against your cheek. At the same time, look down at their chest from that level to see if their chest is rising and falling. If you see the chest moving, this is good and you don’t have to do CPR. If not, start CPR. C - CPR. Start giving chest compressions - you put one hand on top of the other and interlock your fingers and then put both hands onto the person’s chest with the heel of your hand in between the breasts on the bone (sternum). Try to stick to the rhythm of Staying Alive and the aim is to give 120 compressions per minute to try to keep the heart pumping blood. Swap over after 2-3 rounds of 30 compressions because believe me, if you’re doing it right, you’re going to start getting tired pretty quickly. If the person becomes conscious in the meantime, you can stop the chest compressions but continue to monitor the person until emergency services arrive. If there’s been a car accident, it’s important that the person doesn’t move as they may have a spinal injury which can become worse.
TDLR; when in doubt, call emergency services and take the advice over the phone. Read the above in your spare time if you like.
Dramas do this, even Marvel movies do this. I remember watching Dr Stephen Strange scrubbing in for neurosurgery and I shuddered - you’re telling me a neurosurgeon of all people, especially one like Dr Strange, is going to have such poor scrubbing technique? Heck no!
Also, one drama illustrates the point of not pulling out an impaled object really well - in Romantic Doctor Kim, there’s a construction worker whose abdomen is penetrated by a metal pole with a block of concrete still attached to and they actively show how carefully they try to avoid dislodging the object. Until someone messes up, trips and knocks the person holding it in place out of the way, the pole comes sliding out and then the patient starts to bleed out massively. They then kind of mess up the merit by making the female lead stick her finger in to somehow detect exactly which artery is bleeding but otherwise, it is a good example of why you do not pull the thing out of the hole!
I wasn’t expecting to become obsessed with this drama but here I am! I think episode 30 is my favorite to date - I never thought Dong Hua had it in him to be this playful! I just want all the episodes now :)
It took me so long to finish this drama - the initial set up is good but the story becomes very repetitive and takes too long to fulfill the major plot points. Still, I enjoyed Deng Lun’s character the most and really enjoyed the Phantom of the Opera-esque Yueming so 7/10 overall from me.
I was not expecting the sad ending! I was so hopeful that the brothers were going to make up and then he would go back to her with some grand gesture and she’d forgive him and they’d be social media nomads together 5evr.
I’m a sucker for a love triangle and this one doesn’t disappoint. Also I’ve been missing some high school drama in my life. Binged it too quickly because now I desperately want more! Love Alarm 2.0 is either going to solve our dilemma or cause some big trouble and I can’t wait to see which it is! 8.5/10 for me :)
I have a question - when did Prince Helian realize that Zhi Wei and Wei Zhi were the same person? Because as far as I saw, he went to propose to her, he couldn’t solve her riddles, he got beaten up by “Yiyi”, ate salt and had to call her aunt, and then suddenly he’s trying to sneak his way into Qingming to see Wei Zhi. Did I miss a scene?
I LOVED this drama so much. I was addicted. I love Jin Mi and Phoenix together but oh how Run Yu makes my heart beat - his confession to Jin Mi when she finds out the whole truth is still one of my favourite scenes in the whole drama. Ngl the boy’s got issues but who can blame him?
In a word? Fantastic! I loved this drama, from start to finish - the characters are flawed but brilliant, the acting great (for the most part) and the storyline memorable. Rong Le is the female lead I adore - clever, beautiful, brave and as stubborn as a mule. Her obstinacy can be grating at times but it sets her apart from other Mary Sue leads. She makes some questionable choices but at least she sticks to her guns. Wu You was a bit of a cookie cutter male lead and I think his character was one of the few low points to this drama. It didn't help that Aarif isn't great at emoting but I think his voice actor made up for the lack. Fu Chou - what a tragic character. I loved him when he was an unwilling villain. Rong Qi - the real MVP of this story. I am biased (I fully acknowledge this since every time Luo Yun Xi was on screen, I sighed dreamily and said, "I love your face.") but dear me, was Rong Qi one of the most tragic characters of a drama I've ever seen. A sweet boy, a remarkable liar and such self sacrifice like I've never before seen. I give this drama a 9/10. Highly recommended.
I like it - simple, all the drama tropes, somewhat obsessive male lead, Mary Sue female lead. It sounds like it wouldn't work well but it does. 8/10 from me.
Came across this on Netflix and didn't realize just what I was in for. It was entertaining and kept me hooked to the end but boy, did it make me hate cheaters even more than I already did. I still liked the movie though - 8/10 from me.
This drama has kept me OBSESSED for the past week. I both love and loathe Li Chengyin - definitely a special sort of male lead, a heartwarming and lovable character interwoven with a cunning and ruthless personality. Xiaofeng never stood a chance. She was always destined to be a tool in the midst of war, plotting and intrigue. Truly a fantastic drama - 9/10 from me!

Thanks for the answer but how do you know for sure though?

Any word on when we get season 2?
Because as far as I saw, he went to propose to her, he couldn’t solve her riddles, he got beaten up by “Yiyi”, ate salt and had to call her aunt, and then suddenly he’s trying to sneak his way into Qingming to see Wei Zhi.
