quite disappointed in the storyline

●FIRST IMPRESSION
I was looking forward to this drama since it was announced but after completing am disappointed.
Military Medical, WOW. just by hearing this feels like would see amazing action and flawless medical cases. Initial episodes were fine building a good base for the drama. But then it went downhill.

●PLOT VIEW
It had a great scope but the poor writing and 40episode felt like I wasn’t enjoying but wishing it to end sooner. The story jumps between military and medical, as someone gets hurt gets treated in a hospital whereas medics go to military camps for health checkups of soldiers. The soldiers trained in special forces help outside the border but then being helps in a case of drug dealing for local police. Why make ML a special force soldier, it could have served the purpose with a good police officer role too. Am not degrading that they shouldn't work with local police but they should have got more chances to show their ability in the role of a military officer. Military drills were amazing, but since they were in special forces how could they have missed out on morse code. They should have written it better.
all the characters were going round and round and in the last two episodes, they rushed to catch the evil guys wow.
The writers made a character with an identity crisis and who should get all the hate, but they turn him miserable and psychotic. He was a master manipulator, stalker, drug dealer but caught up in his wickedness. He was a complex character badly written and badly acted. the dark-web plot could have been better, seems to be taken from "The Blue Whale Challenge" which had incited many suicides and stirred concern in many countries.
Leads went from cohabitation to fake relationships to real relationships having mature conversations and understanding each other priorities and passion. Parents and their never-ending worries were meh because we all know at the end they all will agree.
FL outshines every time in the medical zone. But then all the other doctors were written pathetically. they gave up on patients and before doing the treatment for no appropriate treatment available, let the guardians make the decisions. They were only there as a supporting cast making the FL look good.
The relationship between teacher and single mother was one of the heartwarming side stories. Although less screen time it stays in mind.

●ACTING/CAST
Johnny Huang as Liang Mu Ze was eye-pleasing in his military uniform. His muscle build body and sweaty forehead holding the guns tightly and moving like cats were breathtaking. He was the only reason for me to finish the drama. He had more actions than expressions on his part so the sad scenes were just in bits giving few tears.
Li Qin was Xia Chu, tbh she was good with the energy, running around to help the patients. Choosing to fight and do my best every time but her expressions were not impressive to me.
Yang Su as Migu, one of the dumbest person in the drama. How the hell she was a media person when she can't read between the line. Or say the blazing zhou ren aura blinded her in the first love case. Her storyline was maintaining the drama but the acting was meh.
Jiang Yuan as Liang Shao Xue was loud and crazy but she was impressive. Her sadness and craziness were balanced.

●MUSIC
Ost was good, thanks to translators for the translation of the lyrics it feels more meaningful and hearty.

●REWATCH
NO, the stories were in parts with no connection to each other. If I didn’t binge this I would have forgotten what happened earlier.

●APPRECIATION
In the latter half, many times leads were having the conversation of the importance and passion of uniform. Giving the message of patriotism and dedication towards works and duty whether you wearing a white coat or a green uniform.

●CRITICISM
There was less romance of leads.
bad storyline

●FAV SCENE
Parrot OK meets Shao Xue with wicked laughter.
First kiss of the leads

●QUOTES
Sometimes we couldn’t help reminiscing about those guys in white shirts who played basketball on the courts. however, it's just nostalgia. Life goes on no matter what- Xia Chu
Rather than being a smart ostrich, it is better to be a brave fool- Liang Mu Ze
Just because this man wears a police uniform, I had believed that he was invincible, who knew he would get exhausted too - Liang Shao Xue

●AFTERTHOUGHT
This drama showed military uniforms, medical uniforms, and police uniforms. All working passionately for the country and society making it a better and safe place to live. We should appreciate and thank them for their hard work who leave behind their family and loved ones to be in their UNIFORM
