I’ve never liked a c-drama as much as I did with this one. The overall plot itself is simple, but the individual story arcs and the overall development of Dr. Mi and Captain Xing are so well-done! The angst doesn’t come much from the typical silly rivals trying to sabotage (though spoiler, there is one coming near the tail end, but it was again handled well!) but rather from the tension that come with their respective jobs. For me, this is such a breath of fresh air, it’s amazing to see both leads go through trials, both separately and jointly. The writing allows them both to shine as individuals and as a pair. And the supporting characters also lift the story to another level. Basically I was rooting for everyone.

MSC and BJT’s chemistry is electric! I love them both! They have tense moments, adorable moments, heated moments, funny moments, what can they not do?! My favorite moment is Xing Kelei’s birthday surprise to his girl. I was bawling my eyes out every time Mi Ka read a note.

If I had to nitpick, the thing that I least liked would be Wenbo’s hesitation, one step forward-two steps back with Xia. But I still liked their moments, especially with the old couple in the earthquake relief area.

A solid 10/10 for me!
