The cliffhanger for ep 33 was a bit unexpected 😂😂😂🫣🫣🤭🤭

I didn't see that coming.

The Olympics are on this week. I hope so because I will be glued to the tv. Not dramas.

Nope. Just watch on

By the way contrary to my posts ep 31 and 32 happened to be my favourite episodes. I like the angst.

The previous episodes were the standard drama fare. Everyone was too perfectly beautiful and things were just going along. I'll like to see where the obstables will lead us.

Lol.

I am also happy because Han Ting has some spine here. I have been watching XK since that palace drama and this drama finally made me forget his sad fate in that series. He was always fine in the subsequent roles but they were not particularly fleshed out roles. I like him finally displaying some actual guts even as a character and not take a step back for anyone. Yes. Not even for the female lead.

Oh yeah I remember that avatar. They were shouting in some other episodes as well. I just ignored it.

I wasn't even being sarcastic. I have done this quite a few times trying to calm someone down. Ji Xing is all over the shop as they say. And yes I had one colleague who did quit. Or have people been asked to leave the job.

I can't even make sense or summarise Ji Xing's actions as a CEO. You know; if you're reading the blurb of a company's CEO.

At the end of the day, after reading and reading so many comments; can I say it now?

Ji Xing should have just started up the business, got the investment and gotten a professional CEO but she remains a majority shareholder but became the R&D Director and Su the Assistant director. They both have zero business sense.

Then at least someone has some business brains and she can fight all she wants with Han Ting without her making a unilateral decision. All major decisions have to be voted by major shareholders.

That is what happens when you jump nilly willy into business just because you think you have the brains and ideas. Brains and ideas do not always succeed in real life.

Its been really frustrating reading about people justifying her actions. At the end of the day every hurt is compounded because she is the CEO. That woman has zero insight in her personal life and zero insight about her shortcomings as a business woman. She is only good at the programming side of work.

She is a nice person, a good friend, probably a good girlfriend and all but boy she is not really to commit to a " in good or bad " type of commitment. Is he?

I am not excusing Han Ting. That guy is consistent. Ruthless and good in business and nothing else comes before business. Loves Ji Xing but JX is categorised into his private life. Business is business.

Ji Xing is all over the place. Excuses for her are all over the place crossing into her personal life, business identity, friendships, lives with colleagues or sample patient group, business clients and boyfriend's family.

My God. That woman is a mess. Reading about her actions and justification is like trying to untangle a sentinel event incidence. Those of you who are used to trying to sort out someone's mistakes at work?

That. Is Ji Xing.

If I put my work persona on and am trying to appear empathetic and am writing down what happened; I would be going internally " what the hell just happened and how do I put a positive perspective for you so you so you won't resign. "

But wait. She did. 😂😂😂

Excuse me, did I miss something ? Ep 31 was on Friday. What is this 9 months talk?

What? On the you know where? At the end? I was thinking of starting the drama. Guess not.

Yes. That was very logical. Well said. The Cdrama writers try to sugarcoat stuff and love their rich men but it always makes me cringe whenever they make the guys appear dumb in love and the women just lap it up. I am actually happy they stayed through to their characters. Li Xing as a character has been incredibly naive. She has always been very clever but her emotional and personal ethics are not or is not ruthless enough. All that caring for the masses etc. That is a luxury you can afford when you're at the top and not when you're struggling to thrive and survive every day.

We have seen enough loose lip talk in other dramas. I guess this is covered under pillow talk. However obtaining information via pillow talk in dramas has made me cringe each time.

Wow. This might be the best episode or scene yet.

A good scene is a good scene no matter whether its a sad or romantic scene. I enjoyed that confrontation. Nothing like letting everything rip apart and hearts rip into shreds. Pain, blood and gore. Love it.

The bonus was that Li Li had her scene too. I really don't know how this would end.

Ah. Now your post makes sense.

As you know EVERYTHING is made in China. My friend's conpany is based in Scandinavia.

However medical products are coming in from China. Its true though that I wasn't putting my thinking cap on. I was literally just watching but not really concentrating. I am pretty sure though that the hypothesised study outline I just made up could be feasible because it seemed based on the clues.

I wasn't kidding when I said I was zoning out. That was me zoning out because when I am concentrating I do concentrate. I forgot to mention back in the days when I had more free time I helped in Korean medical and legal dramas subbing. So I know how " heavy " the technical lines shoud be or how often it appears. I don't like business dramas as much because its boring and technical and specific to the xyz industry. So I wasn't " hearing " as much technical jargon either medical- zero actually besides the one random " skeletal, interbody. " I understand more Korean than Mandarin but I have dabbled in Mandarin subbibg before but only every day conversations.

Anyway.... the Olympics startsď next weekend? I know this is a China station but I still expect it to drop an express story.

Funny story, something broke down several months ago and someone asked me to contact this email. I don’t normally do that since we have people who did it. I was a bit shocked that the supoort centre was in China and I was emailing after my work hours because of the time differences. It got sorted out eventually because they finally referred the matter to another sub- contractor in another state in my country.

I don't say it and I won't say which country I'm in but your lives are dependent on China made equipment. Yes there are European made ones but yeah China. Cheaper. And they are able to churn out bigger amounts. Although having said that there are currently worldwide shortages on some pretty critical items. I was actually a bit shocked since I was told it was going to last 3 months.

So customising an artificial implant based on individual patients? Gotta say it would only work or should only work in China. I presume that they would have done a 3D MRI reconstruction to see the implants measurements.


See? This is when I think and then when I am not- when I watch dramas I was thinking that Li Li has some guts. She made her stand and stood her ground. I mean she could be patient and see how it goes for a few years if she likes him that much.

The show did a very perfunctory show of them meeting investors. Its just them. Then Su did depend on a senior to get the machine. The show did not show why Su was interested in starting a business or in any competition.

They had a very small core team. She did programming for robotics. Then she suddenly became an expert in the intervetebral replacement. That's orthopaedic. I have no idea why that is under smart healthcare. I understand about Xiao Huang in Han Ting's business. I presume the skeletal or joint replacement business niche market they are doing is all because SOMEONE in their company is both good in design and customising the part. This is clearly very much a China or city specific trial.

They have no capital- plot device is Han Ting. Can't work out the programming skills from her and Su to the joint replacements design.

No one with HR experience so there is no HR talk except the couple of interviews scenes.

Some really, really short keynote speaker role for Han Ting and Ji Xing.

This is the trend I see on Cdrama. Medical technology- have seen a few.

There are hardly any medical device companies with such a small R& D team.

The founders have hardly any industry contacts. Its city specific. She won a national contest in University.

I can't even freaking figure out what freaking business speak there is besides Han Ting dropping words of wisdom. China only conferences- I presume its only China vs international conference.

Single hospital study- how many laminectomy/ intervetebral disc replacement can one hospital do? I presume they will need to do over 50 before they can publish it.

So yeah- discussions about how the medical equipment company came about. How Han Ting operates his subsidiaries instead of just acquiring companies. Then the drama claims that at least 2 other companies under him had made technological breakthrough. The Ganghua, his own in Germany and then the other one in Ep 28.

Its just drinks and games talk for negotiation. Some company dinners. 2 small conferences. Maybe a show of them meeting under 5 investors.

Some token politicking amongst the board members? Only 2 rivals. His sister and the other guy. One city. Plus Germany.

Do you see the business tension? Nah. The stakes are not take high.

If you want to say this show has the female lead starting a business and the male lead happens to be the backer and how their relationship evolves and how they end up being a stronger couple and bringing the wind of change in advancing medical technology etc etc then sure its that.

If you want to say this is a business drama where we see how the medical technologies companies are advancing, showing the change in industry and how companies succeed because the entrepreneurs starting it are smart, motivated, have good business sense to advance their ideas? That the show shows how the industry advances bringing China to the forefront - sorry been watching too many of these sort of dramas on Cdramas- and advance to the world stage?

Then nah- this drama does not delve into a medical company. There is zilch detail except for the 1st couple of episodes, the 3D printer, the study tour in Germany. I swear when I saw the swirling the purple liquid in the beaker I laughed.

Some of you have attended conferences before? Have you seen what they are like especially if you're the key speaker?

Look I am totally fine watching this drama and enjoying it. Calling it a business drama vs a romance? Lol.

This is a romance drama with some medical technology CEO as the male lead. The FL has a company manufacturing joint replacments. How you plan to customise to cater to a large market? I don't know. 50 is a super small number. I mean its ok for a hospital but you need multi- center studies. Hers is barely enough for her to get published.

Either way you must feel more strongly than I do about calling it a business drama. I've long ago just accepted it as a romance drama and they tried to make it sound stressful being in this industry. Who the hell goes and does this and have the excuse of being naive and with zero business sense. The last time I read this it was all the online social media companies. Companies making medical devices are not started by dreamers. A decade of so ago but now... with so many extablished companies? Coincidentally one of my friends sell medical robots to hospitals internationally. I've been involved in medical studies and trials for a long time. I read research articles all the timee and we check the number of subjects vs how large scales and factors involve. Its a joint replacment right? I spent maybe a few evenings wondering what they mean by customizing vs having a series of sizes. It was just 2 plates and screws and one joint. Was the show talking about surgery for scoliosis? I didn't even hear the word mentioned? I can only guess it as the one and only subject is young and I presume hhad mobility issues. I haven't read up as much about how surgery for people with scoliosis have progressed.

Geez. Now you make me think. I was really thinking when I was watching this drama. I was doing it to relax.

Now did I miss the part where Ji Xing had Yi Chen's enrol patients for spinal fusion with customising the artificial implant using a 3D printer. Then the surgeon does the implant, screws and plates. Enrol 50 patients and follow up over either a 3 to 6 month period to hypothesis if customizing an implant makes for faster rehab or to increase the degree of mobility post surgery. You need to show more than 1 patient. And that was only to advance the plot point.

Now that I understand. All this talk about her company focusing on the skeletal system based on I don't see in the drama R&D team. And then XiaoHuang and the Ganghua robotics advancing.

Those sort of lingo will make me think this is a medical drama with some promise. Add on how you need busines smarts to run a medical company. So did Han Ting do a science post graduate or he did a MBA to be so smart? The Xiao Meng her bestie is 22. How old is Ji Xing?

Thank you. I can wait then. I presume ir will end before the Olympics starts.

I meant in ep 27 and 28 which aired. Everyone is talking about the bed scene and business. No one has mentioned what happened after Li Li met Xiao YC's daughter. Or XiaoMeng with that Lu guy.

I am stopping at ep 26 until ep 35. I have been reading and reading and reading and its all the main lead.

Can someone spoil me with the Li Li story progression? I actually like this couple and also XiaoMeng. I wouldn't mind watching tbeir scenes. I'd skip the business and the main leads.

I've always thought Su was naive. I am noy even sure he has a Masters. God. I hope he does. I work in the science field where Masters is common and PhD is needed for R&D positions. Science start ups are not as easy as one thinks. The show just makes it so easy. Anyway I digressed because my main point is that Su is pretty much clueluess socially and has IQ but in no way or form has any clue about having a business capital or ongoing business plans. He is not even fit enough to be a team leader much less a VP. But this is a drama. And oh yeah MBAs are no jokes. The assignments alone should give someone a clue.

However this is not a business drama so I led all this idiotic fantasy slide.

So if anyone can tell me about Li Li I'd be grateful. I quite like Lu Jialou as well.

Thanks.

I caught up with ep 26 this morning. What duh? Every single story arc got a major jump.

I can't even process it and now have to get to my day.

Did the writer get an epiphany? How could they and the director just dumped the whole lot into ONE EPISODE?

Which episode are you at?

I wanted to see what the novel said.

But thats not something massive to hide. Unless the ex and his kid are still in the house.
