This is one of my favorites of this year. Honestly, I started watching after reading the synopsis and didn't bother even to check who the actors were. (ended up checking 5 times before realizing that wei daxun was the male lead LOL)I've been trying to look for a drama that could keep me hooked at all times, and this was one of them. I remember seeing the poster on iqiyi a couple of months ago and when it finally aired, I was somewhat skeptical since I didn't want to start another drama and then quit halfway through. I can proudly say I finished this drama within 4 days. I originally expected a lot more romance in this drama based on the tags but was somewhat slightly disappointed. The leads went through quite an adventure but don't worry we have two lovely side couples. However, the screenwriters did a fantastic job at portraying how Tang Jiayu would be since she is a mature woman who has faced a lot of challenges in her life so she won't be so easy to move.

Some pros:
1. the characters all had really nice characters, even if you're supposed to hate someone you don't really really hate them because their story gets told later and why they act the way they are
2. happy ending - not the type everyone expects but this story does end happily
3. almost no shots or close up shots of the surgical process - I know some people can't stand all the blood and everything so this is a bonus (I personally don't mind)
4. the music usage is really beautiful - blessed to have zhou shen's voice as the opening song
5. semi-realistic portrayal of relationships - enemies to friends and respect earned and given

some cons:
1. ending - I'm sure everyone would agree after watching that we were robbed of tang jiayu and ye yiming's screentime
2. the most important/sad characters dying - after like a couple deaths, I'm always on the edge of my seat in fear that someone important will die next

the middle:
1. 36 episodes - i don't find this too lengthy but i don't find it too short either seems about right for the typical cdrama

so that's all i gotta say for this drama, overall everything comes down to personal taste but i would recommend this drama if you're really interested in medical dramas, would not recommend if you're looking for a romance tho. anyways i hope you enjoy this drama like i did and have an amazing day ~
