44 Episodes too Long!

What a waste of time this was. The story was neither compelling nor interesting enough for 44 episodes. Turned out we got more of the same shots of bloody operating room scenes, nurses stations, patients, more nurses stations, doctors in white coats, and far too many medical terms to keep straight. And for the record, it was 45 episodes not 44 as the blurb says.

The acting was ok - even though the actors had very little to work with given that screen writing. There was really zero chemistry between the ML & FL. She was supremely annoying in the beginning, and when she finally calmed down, she became unappealing. The older actors did well and were very convincing in their roles. Fu Bo Wen could have been something other than apologetic and repenting all the time. As unnecessary as his character was, I found the ER doctor Chen Shao Cong to be the most amusing and his girlfriend to be cute and amusing as well.

So many holes! One minute mama is in a coma, the next she's walking around at home! What happened to Zhuang Shu's sister? She needed to come down from her high horse with a serious dose of reality! Why wasn't the hospital dean locked up for his misdeeds? And what happened to Chu Jun?

If the writers and director didn't waste so much time on meaningless scenes with heavy cello and violin music (what was that for anyway?) Maybe they could have developed the romantic relationships better - at least give us some couple time! What was that ending?! It was ridiculous and a bitter disappointment after investing 44 episodes of boring medical jargon.

What a dismal disappointment this was. I don't care for Bai Bah He - but I like Jin Dong.

Absolutely NO rewatch value for me - and the OST was a bust as well - too heavy on the cello and violins, and they did very little to enhance the scenes. Whoever did the clothing needs to go back to design school too,

If you're looking for romance, this one isn't it. If you're looking for a riveting story, sorry, this one isn't it either. IF you like to pick apart the accuracy of the medical lingo and procedures, have at it. There isn't much else to recommend this one!
