O Amor É uma Panaceia (2023)

Romance Takes a Backseat to the Monotony that can be Medical Research

This started off as an engaging show. The adventures in Lakanya served as a nice foundation for the romance to build between the leads. Moreover, the timing used to move the story to China was well orchestrated . Though I enjoyed the ML being utterly smitten with the FL at times he came off embarrassingly pathetic especially when he and her first got together. He became less desperate as the story progressed but could still be obsessive and stalkerish.

Nearly all the supporting characters could be annoying but they too mellowed out with time. Save for the FL’s nemesis who was nothing short of insufferable and cartoonish. The SML had potential but unfortunately the writers decided to turn him into an un ethical ass whose only excuse was mommy and daddy issues. SMH.

The series introduced characters that could’ve been integrated into the story in an interesting way but were promptly dropped without warning. There were storylines that could’ve been key to the overall plot that were dropped as well. The love and angst of the romance was at times good but got bogged down with the Huntington Disease plot. Though the ML was obviously deeply in love with the FL I found it hard to believe he’d give up his research on glioma and being a neurosurgeon both of which he was passionate about to go into the black hole that was researching a disease in which finding funding and finding a cure was futile.

The ending left me confused. Was the FL dead? Or in a long term care facility and thus unable to attended the conference on the breakthrough the ML had made with a drug to treat Huntington’s? The way she was framed in that last scene it looked as if it was the former. Either way it was sad.

The acting was good. The leads had nice chemistry but some awkward kisses. Not sure why that was, being as the actors heights matched well which should’ve made their close moments easier to pull off realism in those romantic moments. This started as an interesting love story but then became all about Huntington ‘s Disease. I can appreciate the writers going there, as it’s so rare for Asian dramas to address disease and imperfections but I much preferred the focus on the neurological activities and medical emergencies that arose with known and random patients

Per me è no

Ho guardato questa serie per via della presenza di Luo Yun Xi. Un medical drama di 40 episodi con un romance ostacolato dalla malattia di Huntington di lei. Non una trama originalissima, ma se sviluppata bene, ci poteva stare. Purtroppo però l'ho trovata poco riuscita: nulla da dire sul cast e il livello di recitazione, ma la storia in sé annoia alla svelta. Tanti episodi e pochi elementi da sfruttare, che finiscono per ripetersi e tirarla per le lunghe, facendo calare l'interesse a zero. Ho faticato a finirla, alcuni episodi li ho quasi saltati a piedi pari. Potrei elencare una lunga serie di difetti e pecche ma sostanzialmente il problema principale è solo uno: le manca l'appeal.
Una nota puramente estetica: Luo Yun Xi, che ho sempre visto molto esile anche in altre serie, qui appare proprio emaciato (paradossalmente, nella storia, la protagonista soffre di una rara malattia genetica ma sembra più in salute di lui, che tra il volto scavato e il tono dell'incarnato davvero da l'aria di essere lui il malato).
Al di là di questo, non mi sento in generale di consigliarla. Ci sono tanti di quei romance-medical-drama più accattivanti e interessanti in giro che davvero la visione di questa serie lascia un po' il tempo che trova...

Miss, for me..

This was not my cup of tea. I was looking forward to it because I have been a fan of Luo Yunxi since Ashes of Love and was mesmerized with Till the End of the Moon. The writing here is so lukewarm, that it does our ML no justice. I was familiar with Zhang Rue Nan when I first watched her in Date with the Future. I liked her role as the relentless, kind, tough young reporter and was hoping her role would, once again, be along those lines. It is to an extent, but it falls short because she makes herself so unlikeable in this drama. I don't know what it is. Perhaps, the writers are at fault here for writing her in a way that made me feel less than charitable towards her. The way she pushed away our ML may have been necessary for the conflict in the story, but there has to be some underlying pull to counteract the push. All I saw is push here, and she gave off some very negative vibes. That, and the lack of chemistry between the leads killed it for me. I was happy the secondary couple did not take away too much air time from the main leads, but they almost disappear completely at times. Still, there was some annoying cliches and some outright ridiculous medical implausibilities that really raised my eyebrows. I will continue to watch Luo Yunxi because I can't fault him for this stinker of a show, but no more Zhang Rue Nan dramas. She is cute, but there is nothing in her performances that screams overwhelming desire to see her in anything ever again. Cui Yi, as Su Wei An's mother, was a biggest bright spot in this dull drama.

Should be a good one, but it has some negative points

I dont care whether a drama has happy / sad ending. It wont affect my rating

This drama whole plot is fine. But it has some negative points

Chinese drama lately often picture a marriage which not approved by parents. Gu Yun Zheng couldnt forgive his father until the end. This is BAD example for family in real life. I dont think govt should approve this / keep promoting this kind of culture

This Gu Yun Zheng always to find perfection but in the end he also couldnt save his most loved person.

I couldnt understand why if SWA doesnt have hipertension, why she wont try to take HDQ 39. Since it only has negative adverse effect for hipertension ppl such as her aunt

Acting is good
Ost are excellent
But morale story i dont really like at some points. Ending is good though IMO, realistic

80% of Cdrama based on novel, this make drama plot cant have creativitiy. Stick with novel although it is unrealistic at some points. They should have more dramas NOT based on novel so can have free, creative and realistic scenario

Great ? for trying to heal depression and saving life

This tv series has romance but that’s not all what important! It’s a controversial issue about someone who’s been dismissed from graduating medical as a profession because of jealousy of her supposedly best friend she trusted and her connection because she comes from a rich and educated family- an evil purpose! It’s a story of trying to heal not just disease , depression and most important is trying to find how to help people who are suffering from Huntington disease ! I like 👍🏾 this because, it made me understand Huntington disease and we hopefully 🙏🏾 one day help them to heal .

O que salvou o drama foram as atuações. Não desisti, exclusivamente, por causa do trabalho do ator Luo Yun Xi, mas até o capítulo 22 não há muita coisa para prender a atenção, pois o roteiro é mal elaborado e os personagens pouco gostáveis. Do início até a metade do drama, a protagonista feminina não é admirável e suas ações são desprezíveis, pois é uma garota que não valoriza os sentimentos daqueles que estão ao seu lado, seja o namorado ou a amiga. O protagonista masculino, na sua busca incessante por reconquistar a protagonista feminina (por mais que ele fosse o personagem mais gostável do drama e que, realmente, a protagonista feminina ainda o amasse), protagonizou uma série de cenas de assédio.
O tema sobre as pesquisas sobre a doença de Huntington foi explorado de forma superficial, assim como, o desdobramento dos testes com o medicamento feito pela protagonista é uma incógnita para cada um pensar o que quiser sobre o que aconteceu.

Good medical drama for doctor that forget what he need to do except money.

The drama story is very good for medical drama. It's have many research about medical.i like lou yunxi and zhang ruonan chemistry. How zhang ruonan inteprate her character as chinese women who fall in love have a shy whenever kiss scene happen. The love story overall good but not too much . In medical view it's good many time writer and director many times make reminder for doctor that forget what the doing because of money with hippocratic oath. Because i see many doctor forget about that too. It give a few different insight too about parenting not always father or mother true. But we have bad father too. In research about new drug the gave a lottle explanation that good too for people not know about drug know how difficult too make a new drug.. rewatch story for me is in middle because not many very touching story,romantic,or not too medical too.It's more about how huttington disease patient fight for the disease and good doctor, bad doctor and bad drug factory.
The bad thing:
1 in medical they doing cardiac shickin true way. But the ecg is false it's need to 0 first before come to normal because it's the effect of pacemarker, and they drill patient head it's true but it need on proper place don't in middle road, have good research about medical but not enough.
2 the love story touching but not too romantic because too many story that not too important add in there.
3 The second women and men story too few .the antagonist reason for become bad people logic is nonsense too.
4 the ending not tensed and sad ending. The tensed feeling and romantic feeling sometimes too shallow. When the men love the women it's not too clear how he love her. It's just make because only small contact and good way of meeting her. He fall in love with her. Need a few fixed.
5 parent. It's make the mother and farher is too bad person. But have a new way to tell not all parent perfect and they need people make judgment too.
Good thing:
1 in medical it give people know more about what docter need to do. Like drill the head when herniasi brain happen, Doing shock in approite time not in 0 heart rate people, process of research new drug is good way.
2 in love story their chemistry good and how the actress acting in very traditional way shy when kiss it's very good detail need to add because now many chinese film too open like west people.
3 in drug research it's good they tell we need a step from animal, people in small number and big number people all need to do.
4 for the parenting new way of thinking about not all parent is right.but not too wise too because chinese is cultural country about respect parent and teacher.
5 this film can watch till end but for me not too good to rewatch

OMG! Can we have better script and plot. It is bad in so many levels. Don't waste your time.

Love is Panacea is another drama about a top-notch, intelligent doctor who falls in love with his student.

I watched about 6 episodes of Love is Panacea, and don't waste your time on both. I love Leo Luo, and Zhang Ruo Nan has better on-screen chemistry with William Chan than Leo Luo. Here are the reasons why I am dropping these two:
- Love Is Panacea: Leo Luo and ZRN's on-screen chemistry is cheesy and non-existent.
- The plot is so stupid, and they try to make things more exciting and dangerous, but the delivery of it is so bad.
- This one is similar to South Winds Know, which was so bad that I don't want to invest any more time in it after I have watched 5 episodes.
- Like South Winds with doctors go to M Country to help the poor and needy, then run into local terrorist-terrified people. In Love is Panacea, Dr. Gu went to Lacaya with a similar plot; instead of speaking English, they speak French.

I fell asleep watching it because it was so boring, and the 2nd CP acted so badly as well. It seems that Leo Luo did better with historical drama than modern one. I give it a 5.0 rating.

LO INTENTÉ PERO NO PUDE

me gustan los trabajos de yunxi y después de till the end of the moon quedé en DEPRESIÓN por lo mucho que sufrí, pensé que este drama podría ser un curita en el corazón pero estaba muy equivocada.

Voy hablar de mis principales problemas con la historia y el porque la dropped

1.- el doblaje en francés
Se hablar francés y en lo personal me temblaba el ojo cada que hablaban en francés, era DEMASIADO obvio que estaban doblando, no puede con eso

2.- la química
no fue un asco pero tampoco fue asombroso, realmente no me compré la idea que se gustarán.

3.- EL BESO
fue tan incómodo de ver, nada encontrar de FL pero no sabe besar, tuve que saltar la escena de lo incómodo que fue
