Fantastic Acting
Now I just wanna say that I haven't really watched a lot of medical dramas because I know I'm not gonna be able to get into it, nor does it interest me whatsoever. But this one? It made me appreciate the genre and what it can offer me as a whole. I get it now, I get why the medical genre is popular.
I know this is a Chinese take on the Korean original, but mind you, I haven't watched the original as well, so this is gonna be a fresh take on someone's lens who has no knowledge at all.
Watching this made me remember why i wanna retire early in life, because ever since i discovered cdramas, i've never looked back. It's very hard for me to watch kdramas or jdramas now because they are so compact due to declining attention span because of shorts/tiktoks. Now there can be exceptions from time to time, I'm not generalizing, but i'm just saying, cdramas know how to properly fluff a story without making it draggy. Though yes, since this is an adaptation from the korean version, it's following almost the same number of episodes, even shorter at that, unlike your standard cdrama 30-40 episode, but they managed to capture my love and appreciation without fluff.
As i've said, i haven't watched a lot of medical dramas, nor am I a medical student. So i'm probably just gonna be brushing off the medical side of it. Though i'm sure you can still appreciate this because the acting is so good. Every. single. actor/actress. here they are all good at acting down to the extras, there's no flaw in the acting. I actually came into this purely because of Jiang Pei Yao, but i stayed because of the acting, and for the plot i guess haha.
The story in the beginning can be annoying or i guess you could say the MC, but as it progresses, you feel that he's slowly becoming even more humanlike. The dynamic between the characters is very smooth. The chemistry is impeccable. By the way, i love how they handled Chen Hui and Yuan Ye's romance, its very open-ended, because i was thinking if this was the korean version, I'm pretty sure there will be romance in it, but in here there's almost little to no romance at all, not until the end, and again it's very open for interpretation, i love that.
Overall, Fantastic Drama, if you're someone like me, watch it blind, don't look at anything else, and when you're done, make your judgement.
