I have wondered if that really was the case. From the very beginning I had a feeling she might not really be who they say she is. I wonder how Shan Dao came to pick her of all people. But I hope they overlook it and she is able to continue doing TCM, because she is good at it and with people.

I don't like her. I have disagreed with so much she comments on. I have stopped watching her. Sometimes, I feel she just isn't watching the same dramas I am.

I can't stand her. I never agree with anything she has to say. Even if I disagree with Marcus on some things, at least he isn't as blatantly rude as she is, imo.

have you started watching that? I thought about it, but I am currently watching Gen Z, Here We Meet Again, and Back from the Brink. I am not sure if I can handle 4 dramas at once.
Also, if you have how do you like it so far? I was initially interested in it, then I watched the preview (trailer) and it wasn't I guess what I was expecting. I mean it is good she is branching out and I am liking her taking a more serious role, but I am not usually into these types of dramas.

I was wondering the same thing. I thought it was weird Gen Z wasn't #1 as well.

Episode 27 was a bit underwhelming for me (the leading up and during and just a bit after in the hospital of Meng Meng's suicide) and I say this because I knew it was coming or was expecting it, my fault for watching all the spoilers. I wish I could go back and not have watched them, I think I might be a little bit emotionally more invested. **wanted to add, did any notice the hand that fell from the gurney? to me it looked like a male's hand and not Meng Meng's, so that also played a bit of "is this real" aspect to me.**
As it was, I felt nothing and didn't really get that emotional tie. LYZ did great in his emotional crying scene, but I didn't get that feeling I wanted to cry with him. I felt it was kind of forced, maybe because I was expecting it and knew it was coming.

Now the bungee jump and Tou Tou running like a mad woman now that had emotion and I was feeling it.

Episode 28 is my favorite. Tou Tou brings out the best in RTZ and if his parents can't see that it sucks. I love how the writer has portrayed this relationship because there has been so much growth with RTZ on account of Tou Tou. She makes him a better person and gives him his confidence. Even his father, who has been the most cynical and critical of him, now trusts RTZ. (although, it took his own master to tell him what his own son did was correct) I loved seeing RTZ and Tou Tou work together in the village and helping those people, it was one of my favorite parts.

RTZ sitting outside the toilet, while TT is inside:
"Have you figured it out?" ~RTZ
"About what?" ~TT
"Be Mine" ~RTZ
"What do you mean?" ~TT
"No one has ever professed his love to you before?" ~RTZ
"Profess your love? I really haven't seen someone profess their love while defecating" ~TT
"Well, think about then."~RTZ

"The two of them are professing their love in the toilet." ~ Dr.'s wife
"Dating in the toilet?" ~ Dr.

LOL, Absolutely favorite scene for any drama I have ever watched. I was so giddy watching this scene. You can't get any better than that.

lol that was my favorite part, as well as when she told him they had to set rules before starting to date, for major issues she made the decisions and for minor ones he did.

Perfect comment, tried liking it 100xs, lol. Everything you said is 100% how I have felt for that whole entire plot line.

LOL, the tiles were the best part of ep. 26.
"If I knew she was going to find them, I would've told her to bring them all back for us to reassemble them ourselves. Our medical center would be considered an intangible cultural heritage, too."
That made me laugh, especially knowing he made that poor woman spend over a year looking for these tiles for a "so-called" old non-existent prescription.

Although, I am a bit confused that she still kept searching for the tiles. I thought she understood the reason he had her look for them in the first place, after her little speech in ep. 25. It seems she understood the true meaning behind the "search" in the first place. So now I am confused.

yes I agree

LOL ok I guess after reading a lot of the comments, I am one of the very few who liked the first 30 mins of episode 25. I mean some of the stories were meh, but overall I liked the whole speech.

YES!!!! my thoughts exactly. They should have never allowed her to move and definitely allowed him to be the one to treat her. I think this is the biggest mistake in the whole drama. This plot is so very disappointing to me.

They are not really biologically related. It is hard to explain a lot of Chinese culture and how they view relationships. I don't even know where to begin to explain it, cause lol I don't remember how they explained it, it was either toward the end of ep. 1 or somewhere in ep. 2. It just happens that Tou Tou is the only living descendant of certain acupuncture sect, where a lot of what RXZ's family got their knowledge from. Their ancestors studied and learned together, which made them "family". I am sure someone else could explain it better, but that is how I gathered.

As far as the affection part, we have seen very tiny miniscule moments but nothing to show that they actual have any serious affection toward each other yet, except from lots of previews people have been posting.

I just can't believe all the halt to dramas, basically entertainment in general came down to one comedian's ill time joke. It is crazy how messed up that is.

Episode 25:

~I loved the whole first half, the speeches and so much insight to TCM vs Western Medicine. I really enjoyed listening to it all, best part of the episode.

~Now, I am a bit aggravated again about the whole Meng Meng situation. I can't get over the fact that she is suppose to be a patient, but yet they seemed like it was some huge loss when her parents came and got her. She should have never been staying with them in the first place. I am so aggravated about this whole scenario and plot of the story. If I was in the medical field, I would be screaming right now, about the whole unprofessionalism that that plot was from the beginning.

~I feel sorry for Li Quan. He is under so much pressure from his parents to be great and earn a lot of money. He now puts pressure on himself to fulfill that role that he is working at a massage place. I really want to see better for him in this drama. I like his character.

Now to continue with ep. 26

I think a lot of people actually thought it would be either her that died or RTZ's grandpa. So for myself it wasn't much of a surprise.

LOL!! I guess I missed that in TOOL (although, I did skip quite a bit in that one)

Me neither. I like seeing him in this role. Now will be interesting to see him when JOL 2 comes out.

I had to laugh the other day when I was watching "Here We Meet Again". They went to a hotel and she saw a toothbrush that sanitized itself, etc. She asked the hotel clerk about and he described how it worked and everything. It was so very obvious. It is one thing when the PP is just sitting there or in the shot, but to make it so blaringly obvious and for every episode, almost like they do the face masks, for almost every drama, lol.

Also, I think I know which drama you are talking about with Liu Te. I think I recall all of those product placements, so many. Sometimes the PP is good and ok and I don't even think about it, but when it happens so blaringly obvious it becomes a bit annoying. It makes me not even interested in the product.

Nice episode today, a lot of TCM informative information.

I had a feeling the woman with the asthma/bronchitis/lung problem was going to help them out with their TCM apprentice class. She just happened to be introduced in the story right at that point.

Loved seeing the older woman now cancer free, she has balanced her karma and she even got her children healthier as well.

I always like seeing the banter between LL and RXZ, but I wish he would be a bit nicer to her sometimes, he always seems to give her a hard time, how could he tell her she isn't pretty.

So curious about who is contacting Meng Meng, wondering if it has to do with the person who got her pregnant. She seems really stressed about it and I am so surprised she didn't say anything to RTZ about it.

I can't believe they invited that Mr. Liu to their opening of the new apprentice place. I thought he would be the last person they would want there. I do love seeing how his son keeps popping up, and RTZ was practically glued to him while he was on the ladder, yet Tou Tou was on the ladder by herself (wonder if RTZ was trying to keep Liu jr. occupied and away from Tou Tou, I could be just reading to much into it).

Also, curious to see what Li Quan is up to, that he didn't help them with the clean up or show up to the opening of the apprentice building.

Finally, one thing that really bothers me about modern Chinese Dramas is there blatant throw it in your face product placement. For one, some of the stuff looks really good, but we can't get it here in the states, so I am jealous. And two, they show it excessively. It is one thing for it to be just on the side or in the frame, but for them to keep saying "Oh here is your favorite yogurt" or "have this yogurt its good for you" etc. Or the shrimp one today, "these dumplings have shrimp in them, you will get full from eating them" .
