The most realistic romance drama I have ever seen. Usually its shown the ml has seen a girl in his childhood and then has been in love with her since then, which I felt completely illogical. Dr. Ning had a feeling of gratitude for Dingding when he realised she is the one who had helped him back then. It was not love back then, and it can be seen when he was happy hearing about her marriage. Dingding's best friend has won the prize of being the best male best friend to any woman in cdrama, kdrama history. i hate it when they show that opposite gender friendship is always one sided love. Dr. ning was a quiet but sensible man who noticed every details and could see through people's wrong intentions but did not interfere unnecessarily, he always maintained proper distance from other females and trusted his love. he wasn't someone too dominant but he was persistant. unlike those who corner the girls and force them to admit whether she has feelings, he always spotted the minor reactions dingding made and pointed them out to dingding. this drama did not show two people overcoming lots of challenges and then confessing love, it showed the actual relationships. it showed how dr. ning approached dingding, insecurities dingding faced after her old relationship, how people usually tend to avoid relationships in fear of heartbreak, compromises and understanding between a couple.
Its funny audience is more angry on dingding than dr. ning himself. I really found no such big deal as they were saying in this comment section. after reading these comments, I had expected any very big twist or misunderstanding to come but while seeing the drama, I understood that there is nothing like that. they are unnecessarily bashing the female lead. they have forgotten that dingding was in love with chen xu for six years and despite their break up, they were still frnds. she could not leave a hospitalized person alone, who is first in comma and then has memory loss. she did not cross the line ever, she even introduced dr. ning as her bf and hugged him infront of chen xu who was sick, clearly showing that chen xu was just a frnd. infact what angered me was dr. ning bringing yuren back with him at the end. I got so angry tha i was abt to throw the phone, why bring an outsider in personal matter? and dingding getting angry at the end was reasonable, while dr. ning everything she had in her heart, she was clueless. but it was not such a big matter as they have made here. LoL
About prioritizing her career, she refused to go abroad with dr. ning and chose her career, but thats because she left left her career and declined invitation to her dream company for her last relationship but what happened? it broke up. so this time she chose to love herself. bringing yuren back angered me the most actually.
In short, I loved this. The most realistic and logical love story ever. My comfort zone.
