Breath of Destiny (2021)

Thoughts...

Breath of Destiny is a drama with a very unique concept. I've completed watching the whole drama and I have got to say it is quite interesting. The plot was unique first as it was one of the first Chinese dramas I have seen in which the cast or the characters actually speak some English which is a huge surprise for a person like me who waits for subtitles.
The drama revolves around doctors doing whatever they could with their hands to save at least a life or a heart beat and also unravel the mystery behind a medical outbreak (I won't spoil what it is though). The beginning of the drama of how it began was very thrilling that I was completely caught off guard cause I didn't know that the story or the plot would begin that quick.
The story is a medical genre, one of my favorite genres and also portrayed how people in some places of the world live.
It also shows the courage the doctors have when facing life and death and how they over come these incidents and situations.

WHY I LIKED IT...
Well, this drama till now has evolved quite well. It did not have too many twists and the story was well connected and displayed. It showed a clear flow or direction unlike some dramas where the plot is so mixed up and has so many twists that you fail to see the main reason or the story that the writer wants to show you.
I also liked it because it is a medical drama and I for one am a lover of those [if you want any recommendations check them out in the recommendations page.]
It is worth the watch if you're interested in such suspenseful dramas or are not scared of blood.
I don't know if it is worth the rewatch though as I have not yet completed but it is a doable drama and a fine way to spend the weekend if you want to add some thrill and suspense to your evening.

Medical drama with goodlooking leads n interesting small stories...

What I like:
- Main leads... their chems is good, they can act, n visually they both look good... IMO their portrayal as doctors r believable, they both have good characters n they stay in characters from start till the end (smart, strong, passionate about their duty)... plus the ML is funny while the FL is stubborn, so for me their bickerings r cute...
- I just like medical theme dramas...
- The plot... in the beginning these volunteer doctors join a small island hospital to treat local people... it’s interesting to watch the small stories behind the people who live there, the contrast between the modern world n the island kinda life, to see the newcomers adjusting their lives there n how the locals see n treat them...
- Not really a luv triangle... SFL is kinda annoying n obviously still wants to be with ML, but she is engaged to his BF anyway, so not that many unnecessary moments... SML likes FL, but no efforts so yeah...

What I dislike:
- Around eps30 forward, they focus on the investigation of the virus outbreak n this plot thickened till the end, but IMO not in an interesting way... the way everything unfolded was too long n boring with long interrogations which honestly I skipped like lots!
- They kinda wasted the mainleads... I don’t need them to be lovey dovey, but in a drama I prefer to see the leads in the same scenes, at least knowing they r in good terms n at the same place where they can do their job, side by side investigating stuff together... but nope the last 10eps there were so little scenes they shared together n in the middle of it there was an unnecessary misunderstanding, typical drama... plus the ML got too much alone scenes with the SFL, no romance, but still too much IMO... so for me it was disappointing in those last few eps, coz they started off really good...

Overall if u like medical drama, then u should check it out... i think the medical parts r believable n entertaining... the casts r good too... i admit sometimes it’s kinda hard listening to them speaking in English coz u know it’s def not their first language, but it didn’t ruin the drama for me... I enjoyed it...
