I can definitely recommend the last two episodes!!
What I liked:1) Chemistry between Yang Zi and Ziao Zhan. I loved watching them together. Okay, to be honest, I loved watching him. He was a serious character, but when he met her, he really started to smile. Those smiles were so endearing.
2) The last two episodes really did an excellent job of finishing off the long-winded storyline without rushing through it. I was tempted to rate it higher because of that, but I just couldn't. Love for one another, love for family, and friendships are all addressed in these episodes. I got emotional they were so well done. I love being able to actually see a wedding, since we, as viewers, are usually deprived of that. And their oaths of love were very well-written.
3) The music was sweet.
4) When he asked her to marry him.
What I didn't like:
1) The character of Lin Zhi Xiao. She was pouty, immature, and pretty whiny. I was willing to try to be patient with her until "the big breakup". It was unreasonable, unnecessary and went on too long. In addition, she treated him terribly and then suddenly made up with him and didn't apologize for anything. And from an aesthetic standpoint, her haircut was driving me crazy! It was usually back in a ponytail that stuck out, or when it was down it was all stringy.
2) Uneven pacing. We had the rivals that were willing to do anything to get the person they liked. I really don't care for those types of storylines, but both of them just kind of all of a sudden went away. There was SO MUCH wasted time in this drama, multiple episodes could probably have been deleted and they wouldn't have been missed at all.
3) Secondary couples - one-dimensional and I didn't care about either of them.
If you are a patient person and aren't bothered by a lot of nothing going on, I'd say give this one a try, just to see how cute the main couple is together and to see how everything gets tied up.

The story is good... but I think their age difference in the story doesn't fit their faces. they look the same age. it doesn't look like they're that far apart.
Their acting is also amazing... the chemistry is very good...
I think this is one of the dramas that needs to be watched.
The conflict is also not too heavy, but quite realistic.
Yang Zhi as usual is cute, Xiao Zhan is very gentle.
I hope Xiao Zhan takes more dramas. He's good at acting.

The first 10 minutes of this drama already screams danger
Truth be told, I was really looking forward to this drama and checked it out when it went live. Sadly, it didn't go so well.The events that happened in the first 10 minutes of the first episode already made me want to drop it and it doesn't get better at episode 3.
The drama starts introducing the characters, ML Gu Wei and FL Lin Zhi Xiao. This is where problem 1 begins with the FL playing the cello. She isn't moving her fingers and the sounds that come up are so obviously edited in post production. They could have at least made an effort for the FL to move her fingers but no.
On to the bar scene where problem 2 arises. FL and her friends went on drinking at this bar. She has a really strict and controlling dad that doesn't like her going out with friends like what she's doing. Knowing this, she very stupidly posted it on social media for her dad to witness.
When her dad went to the bar to confront her, what did she decided to do you ask? She went and sat next to the ML (they were strangers) proceeded to take his coat and put it around herself so her dad can't see her. This is literally so stupid, you know what I would have done? Go hide in the freaking bathroom, that is so much better than taking a random strangers's coat and wrap it around yourself. I would freaked out if I was the ML.
After witnessing all this, madness, the ML reacted negatively rightfully so. He asked the FL who she was and to give him his coat back. The FL was like "come on just borrow it to me for a while, without it you wouldn't die." She sure has a lot of balls. And then, the worst part.... she proceeded to lean against the ML, now with her on top of him with his jacket wrapped around her to create this "romantic moment"
Her dad not being an absolute idiot, totally saw the FL and went up to confront her. He then asked her if the ML was her boyfriend. You know what she decided to know instead of being apologetic to this random guy? She said YES and put her hands around him. How the ML stayed calm during this whole commotion blows my mind. Luckily though, he does get mad and isn't acting along side the FL to her dad. He said they were strangers and the FL went all baby mode and got mad at him.
The dad then asked the ML if he was trying to take advantage of his daughter and because the FL is such a horrible person, she decided to jump on that, accusing the ML for trying to take advantage of her. I feel so bad for the ML, I would have probably cried if I was him.
It gets even worse. Afterwards when they met at the hospital and found out that the FL's dad is a patient of the ML which is whom he stole from his coworker (Gao Xi). ML was just like yea, this dude might have cancer, let me just give them a call without consulting my coworker first. Look at how smart and caring i'am HAHAHA. I still don't get why the FL hates the ML when it should be HIM hating HER after everything she did at the bar. Anyways, because of that encounter, the FL basically bad mouthed the ML to her family, telling them not to trust him because he only became a doctor because of nepotism or whatever WHERE HE CAN HEAR THEM.
Afterwards, because she forgot to take an overnight pass for her dad because he was staying there at the hospital. Another doctor offered her to stay in the doctor's resting room without telling the rest of his coworkers sigh. Plus I don't think they're allowed to do that irl. The FL then laid on the bed, playing her phone when surprise surprise ML walks in. At that point, the rational thing to do is to get up and say hi to the ML but instead of that, the FL hid in the blanket where you can so obviously tell a person is hiding there and the ML takes off his clothes, god I hate the cliché.
It's not completely trash as I really did relate to the FL's relationship to her parents and I liked her mom. The visuals and outfits were decent but other than that it's a skip for me. The side characters weren't really that interesting either. They were your standard FL's best friend female 2nd and ML's best friend make 2nd. I really liked Zhai Zi Lu in Lucky's first love, but here it's so meh.
Basically the FL is an asshole, the ML's actions were dangerous and didn't make sense. Side characters were uninteresting and the story was full on tropes. Idk if it gets better letter on but I cannot bring myself to watch it anymore. The performance of the actor/actress were pretty nice but the story was a big NOPE.

I'll just copy my review from letterboxd :))Here are some reasons why I didn't really like this drama despite its popularity:
- the father of the fmc is a dean at a school and wants rules to be followed but then he doesn't want to listen to a doctor because he knows better?? (literally even runs away from the hospital lol) I know he must be scared but bffr.
- the doctor (mmc) not fully disclosing the patient's diagnosis to the patient. like, okay, the wife and fmc know that his real diagnosis is stomach cancer, but i'm pretty sure that not telling the patient himself what he has is illegal lmao but okay, at least he's comfortable i guess.
- the mmc has trauma because his mentor died after a surgery that he performed on him. now, he cannot do surgeries anymore (or even practice with his suture kit) because he starts shaking and having a panic attack. understandable. not understandable is the fact that the leads have one (1) in-depth/serious conversation without bickering and being silly and POOF he can perform the surgery for the fmc's father. this was the moment that made me DNF tbh... like trauma is not healed after one talk, especially not with a girl you just met a couple days ago and that stays in the hospital all day because her father's sick (meaning: they don't even know each other). like, yes, her words can feel encouraging to him but c'mon... he had literal panic attacks and trouble breathing when they showed his trauma symptoms... bffr.
- the second lead romance was booooring and annyoing, so i would have skipped that anyway tbh, but yeah. so far, the only second romance i liked was in "Moonlight" (still my fave cdrama...)
i understand the cast is suuuuperduper extra famous and popular and i thought they worked quite well together but the story... eh not so much - at least for me, sorry

Gave up after 5 eps
Sigh. As a noob to Cdramas, i love Xiao Zhan after The Untamed so I decided to check this out. But everything annoyed me from the start. One of them being that Yang zi was trying to act as an 18 year old. Like can we stop please. And also as a medical professional its totally unrealistic to have those doctor patient relationships as portrayed in the show. The father's denial/hesitation at getting medical tests made no sense, like why would you be so selfish and put your family through hell when you already know you are unwell and need treatment? This is 2022 and not 1900s. Argh i just cant, dropped after 5 episodes. Also the trope of the Dr Gu's junior who's in love with him... like thats done to death and super annoying.How disappointing.

This drama makes us reflects about our Life & how we value everything around us
This drama I think it's not only entertaining because it's romcom but also really HIT THE HOME aka very RELATABLE to some people out there including me. Let me ask you all, raise your hand if you have gone through some of this;- have conflicts with parents about to decide something that related to your future; whether is about your education, your choices of jobs or how much your parents understand you or support you
- have dealing with family who have sick or even have complicated illness that we also have to take care.
So with this side about family even in the earliest episode, adding I believe later some conflicts about romantic relationship, I can say this drama is really good. Especially with how all the actors acting on it is really great (see how Xiao zhan & Yang Zi acting crying in the trailer I believe is really makes our heart also feel pain & hurt). So I really recommend this drama as one of our must watch list not only we can get entertainment but also get something to reflect about our life without feeling being preach or lectured.

Great acting and not too much stupidity or silliness
ML and FL were great but so were the supporting case. I really enjoyed the opening and music very much. The relationships took a bit of time to develop and great acting by everyone. I really enjoyed the supporting case and without the supporting cast, I would not have liked this series as much.Not a lot of twists or turns but mostly focused on development of love and relationship between different characters and there are not evil characters or sinister plots. It's about search for love and how life changes with death and love. I was kind of surprised by the ML performance. Much better than I expected.
There's no stupidity in the plot where you scream at the screen and ask how anyone can be this stupid. It just flows and though at times, I got annoyed by the FL acting so girlish but I guess that's her character. I mean... 20s and still having dolls and stuffed animals in bed that kind of thing. And too shy to kiss each other that kind of thing.
Opening music is amazing and unforgettable. Just beautiful song.

Refreshing Drama
I have watched this drama more than twice already, so its no surprise that I like this drama a lot. I would summarize this drama and say, its a romantic drama with an easy-going plot, the acting is excellent and the OST is on point.The plot is not too dramatic, e.g angry protagonist or revenge, but just ordinary people living ordinary lives having ordinary problems, relatable stories and very close to daily life context makes this drama not boring at all.
The romance in this drama will sweep anyone off their feet. The chemistry between the male lead and female lead is so beautiful and believable. Also their excellent acting made their characters come to life. The cinematography is good too.

Dont waste your time
Please dont have high expectations before watching since you will be in for a massive confusion and disappointment. I got to know about XZ and saw his other recent works such as Ace Troops and some snippets of his stage play as patient no5: his acting is quite on-point. Mind you, DC was bearable and I managed to pull it until the final. Going to this drama, i already struggle to finish 1st episode. He almost has no facial movements like blankly staring into the camera reading his lines. I got confused and had to research that this drama was delayed in airing and was produced way back when XZ was relatively new. No wonder but that wont change my opinion that his acting was so bad. YZ has a lot more naturalness in her acting, her cuteness and bubbliness dont seem forced but that is from just 1-2 ep for me. And as I read other reviews her bubbliness got worse to the point of being pointless and annoying, I decided to drop this drama as nothing will save the drama for me: clique plot, bad acting from male lead and bad direction for the female lead.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
