One of the best medical cdrama i've watched

It's so hard to find a good quality medical cdrama so when I started to watch this i have no high expectation. It didn't disappoint me tho. Exceeded all my expectations. While there's rivalry and hospital politics, they're not toxic. Any misunderstanding are wrapped up in time, not dragging and annoying. All characters are lovable. No one is problematic. Time flies so fast when I watch an episode. It keeps me wanting more. Patient cases are interesting and heartwarming. I especially liked how mostly are coming from emergencies and some cases are hard to diagnose. I personally don't care about the scientific and explanations. I just want a medical cdrama where I can enjoy watching it. And this is one of it. I keep looking forward to going home and settle in my bed and watch it and keep wanting more after i'm done. It's really feel good. No stress. I hope it stays that way. I'm bad at writing anything but i need to let this out. This drama is so underrated. I wish more people get to watch it. Highly recommended.

My Favorite Bromance This Year

They really outdid themselves; “Justice in the Dark” might be in the dungeon but the director made sure that “Live Surgery Room” surmounted the boundaries of Bromance!

It was halfway through that I learned Qiu Zhong Wei (“Justice in the Dark”) was helming this project. For those who have read the novel, MC Zheng Ren supposedly has a love story with nurse Xie Yiren, which has been totally sidetracked in the adaptation. If you are wondering why, the answer lies with the director who obviously prefers bromance. So, we got a drama with lots of medical terminologies thrown in alongside oodles of delicious bromance. Must admit, I was afraid that the script might pair the male protagonists with the female leads who had a crush on them; but surprisingly they didn’t. The director makes no efforts to appease the censorship and the show solely focus on the budding relationship between the male protagonists. Also read somewhere, that the male leads spend months getting themselves familiarized with the medical terms and surgical processes. In short, this drama is a commendable artwork made possible by the hard work of a dedicated team that includes some talented actors/actresses.

Expect a strong bromance/friendship cos the chemistry is CHEMISTRYING.

We have ZR who came to the hospital his father help build almost 20 years ago, to work & also investigate what happened during those 17 years…there he meets different patients & diseases. He looks cold,distant & blunt due to the past but slowly opens up to another smart man called Su Yun. SY also has his own baggage, but slowly changes while having ZR around.
Note that, even tho it’s from the novel, it doesn't follow everything accurately, then again which drama has EVER followed a novel to the T?🤔. So don’t expect some system or whatever & yes they’ll blur the surgery( due to censorship I guess) so keep that in mind too.
Zheng REN & Su Yun work together, become very close to the extend that, ZR wants SY by his side all the time. Whenever SY is sad, ZR gets emotional too…mind you, he NEVER cares nor shows emotions to anyone except Su Yun. They are basically best friends/soulmates you could feel the chemistry oozing 🤭. There may be disagreements but they quickly solve it as adults. Mostly when there are disagreements the two leads start bickering & become negative towards each other but NOPE! Not ZR & SY.
So give it a watch & you won’t regret it.

A Medical Web Novel Adaptation Ruined By Censorship

If you're watching medical dramas for the heart breaking stories of patients and the drama between doctors, you might like this drama but for everyone else who watches medical drama for the medical scenes (surgeries), this drama is a complete waste of time.

This is adapted from a web novel where the MC has a system. The system give him his godlike knowledge and skills which allows him to amaze everyone and cure everyone.

In the drama however, the system doesn't exist. Nothing replaces it. He just has the knowledge and skills after waking up suddenly one day. No need to have the training that everyone needs to go through to become a skilled surgeon, just sleep and wake up and you have the hands of god!

If you want to watch doctors doing surgeries, just go back to Korean, Japanese or American dramas. Majority of the scenes during the operation is centered around the expressions of the surgeons, or the viewers talking, or the medical machinery and the few shots you have of the operating area is completely blurred.

What's worse is that novel actually has explanations of many of the medical terminologies or descriptions of the surgical areas to help viewers understand what's going on.

In the drama however, all of this is absent. So unless you're going to pause and google every thing or is a doctor/medical student yourself, you probably won't enjoy this show much.

Similar to every other system novel that is adapted, it's trashed, but the drama and medical cases are still good to watch as they're taken straight from a very successful novel so if you like a drama like that without all the things that make a medical drama a medical drama, you'll like it.

Decent acting talent from Vin Zhang, but the story is unrealistic. It went downhill after episode 6.

Live Surgery Room is a medical melodrama starting with Vin Zhang. He is a decent actor, and it was the first time I saw him act so emotionally in a drama when he found out why his dad committed suicide at Haicheng Hospital.

It was convincing, but the story went downhill after he found out the reasons why his dad took his life. Streaming surgery Live in real life is unrealistic, and this drama had no romance.

Synopsis: Zhen Ren is a surgeon who achieved his father's dying wish. With the help of ER director Pan, he joined Haicheng Hospital. He took steps forward to save a patient during a Whipple procedure. Zheng Ren devoted everything to being a doctor, and his skills caught the attention of genius doctor Su Yun, who began to study Zheng Ren's methods. Su Yun accepts and admires Zheng Ren as a colleague after witnessing his selflessness when they both signed up for the frontline rescue team after an earthquake. To treat a case of conjoined twins with arrhythmia, Zheng Ren and Su Yun join hands to form a team formed by a group of medical professionals that includes equipment nurse Xie Yiren, attending physician Lin Yuan (Wei Wei), consulting physician Chang Yue, and German professor Rudolph.

My Reviews:
1. The entire cast's acting ability was okay. Vin Zhang performed a decent job in emotional scenes. He is a decent actor, but he has appeared in many dramas in which I felt the scripts were not good, which makes his acting ability mediocre.
2. The first 5-6 episodes were engaging as Vin Zhang's character, Zheng Ren, tried to discover why his dad took his life.
3. Zheng Ren is a genius surgeon, but he cannot be the only one who performs all surgeries successfully in the entire hospital.
4. To have a story about how to survive in a hospital, they have to stream the surgery live, which is unrealistic in real life.
5. There was no romance in this drama, so if you are looking for it, you will be disappointed like I was.

I give it a 6.0 rating for bad scripts and unrealistic storylines.

A Pleasant Surprise

It is a strong male lead drama with no to little cutesy romance, thank god! :D|

The Live Surgery Room, a Chinese web drama, delves into the high-stakes world of medicine, where skilled surgeons navigate life-or-death situations with unwavering determination. Let’s dissect this gripping series.

Synopsis: Zhen Ren, a talented surgeon, fulfills his late father’s wish by joining Haicheng Hospital. Guided by ER director Pan, he takes bold steps to save a patient during a Whipple procedure. But this is just the beginning of his journey.

Key Characters:

Zhen Ren: Our protagonist, Zhen Ren, embodies dedication. His surgical prowess catches the eye of genius doctor Su Yun.
Su Yun: Initially intrigued by Zhen Ren’s methods, Su Yun eventually becomes his colleague. Witnessing Zhen Ren’s selflessness during an earthquake rescue mission solidifies their bond.
Xie Yiren (Equipment Nurse): Xie Yiren plays a crucial role in the surgical team, ensuring that instruments are ready and precise.

Visuals and Direction:

The surgical scenes are meticulously crafted, immersing viewers in the operating theater. It provides enough suspense to keep the viewers glued.
Directorial finesse captures the intensity of life-saving moments.

Overall Impression: The Live Surgery Room combines medical drama, human connection, and suspense. It celebrates the unsung heroes who battle against time and odds. With stellar performances and a gripping narrative, this series is a must-watch for fans of intense storytelling.

In a world where seconds matter, The Live Surgery Room reminds us that compassion and collaboration can save lives. 🌟

Well paced Medical Drama in 2024

This drama got me hooked since I started watching.

Each story arc was well paced without too much of “water injection”. The medical stories are also exciting.

The backstory for each character was well written, as well as the growth of each character over the 28 episodes. Personally like Su Yun’s character growth the most.

The acting of each cast member were superb too, and I think the made each character much more relatable and real life. The bromance between Zheng Ren and Su Yun also made the story light hearted and funny at times.

Overall, I think this drama is one of the best cdramas medical drama that I have watched so far, and I highly recommend this to those who are interested in a medical drama!

虽然28集终于奔入正题,但是这28集里经历的故也是真的精彩喔!
不是专业人,但是每一个病情手术还蛮细致。遗憾的是手术都打上了马赛克,,唉,要真实却要搞这样
主角光环很重,一切围绕主角和团队,但是现实都如此残酷了,看戏嘛,就喜欢这种欢欢乐乐的气氛。哈哈哈哈
感觉还会有第二季嘻嘻😁
