Yang Min Fei is a meticulous doctor with a stern demeanour. She has an unparalleled enthusiasm in her dedication to solving difficult medical cases and saving lives. Guo En comes across as the extreme opposite of Min Fei. On the surface, Guo En appears to be lax and easy going but inwardly, he is sensitive, pays attention to details and has a caring, benevolent heart. He was an excellent student in medical school.

My Take
The Oath refers to the Hippocratic Oath which is an oath of ethics historically taken by physicians to uphold specific ethical standards when treating patients. In modern days, it has evolved into a document of professional medical ethics issued by national medical associations. (Reference: Wiki)

The Oath is a drama exploring not just professional medical ethics, but also the use of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) vs Western medicine in treating patients, with romance and friendship weaved in. An easy and enjoyable watch in just 800 minutes (less 5min opening and ending credits per episode).
