Though I’m enjoying the show so far, I’m quite annoyed by some of the supporting characters, especially Fan Ye Ke. She seems to lack common sense and has a very twisted mindset (always thinking about how to get more respected, envious as PITA). What confuses me even more is that she was raised by a father who is a highly educated and respected man. It doesn’t really make sense that someone raised by a scholar would have so little sense of right and wrong or fail to develop good values and behaviour. How could Ye Ke not learn from her father that true respect comes from one’s virtues and not from playing petty little tricks to gain recognition or status?
Because of this, I’m worried that the show might continue treating characters like Ye Ke as tool characters, only serving the plot, without giving them enough logical or meaningful development. If that happens, I’m afraid the story could start to feel shallow, which would make the overall narrative feel less meaningful.
Wow, I'm glad that I gave this drama a second chance despite the first few episodes have somewhat plot conveniences. I think it’s actually a very meaningful and uplifting drama that’s perfect for this summer and the World Cup season.
OK I'll put it straight: the cinematography is clearly getting all the attention, but it completely backfires. The constant zoom-ins, tight close-ups, and rapid cuts feel like a failed experiment. Instead of building atmosphere, they leave scenes feeling fragmented and bizarre, making it difficult to grasp character dynamics, dialogue, or even the setting. Basically, the visual style fails the storytelling rather than helping it.
I'm quoting this comment from a YouTube review clip for this show: "Women in this show are clumsy at love, and all the men are clumsy at people."
This description can clearly be seen by the difference between the triple dating of male and female groups in ep 5 and 6.

Season 2 started with so much hope, but the main plot is a complete failure that absolutely does not keep up with the legacy of Season 1. Except for the patient stories, which are actually beautiful, touching, and full of genuine humanity, the rest of the show is a total mess. The villain, Director Sheng, is incredibly lazy and poorly written; he is just a cartoonish plot tool playing petty office tricks instead of showing how cold and calculating real-world corruption actually is, only to abruptly attempt suicide at the end because the writers were clearly run out of ideas how to deal with the villain. Even the main heroes lose their professionalism, acting like impulsive puppets who just shout and give preachy speeches, while the new character Ouyang is just to be a mindless supporter for Zhou. This is honestly a letdown.
I don't hate all the drama, but sometimes I wish it didn't rely so much on plot convenience.
Xiao Rui’s death and Director Sheng as the big villain are really getting on my nerves.
Realistically, Lin Yi would hardly be involved in the organ transplant process, so the plot point of Sheng offering him advice felt completely unnecessary. Furthermore, Sheng’s fixation on inciting internal warfare within the Cardiology department makes zero sense for someone in a leadership position; his petty tactics just look ridiculous.
The way Sheng manipulates the situation to push Lin Yi into a downward spiral of drinking, gambling, and toxic workaholism, to escape his grief while hurting those who care about him, like Feng and Zhou feels incredibly forced. Lin Yi is a grown man. Even in the depths of grief, there should be a more organic way to portray his grieving process over his nephew, rather than turning him into a pawn for office politics. Besides, Lin Yi's character was never written to be naive enough to be manipulated like that.
It’s clear this only happened because the script needed to keep moving and required plot devices to force character development. It’s such a shame.
Though I have prepared myself for the dark turn of Baek Tae Ju, I actually like his motive, not say his action is right, but it does make sense for the character since he drives for a justice world. My powerful CP Tae Ju x Sin Jae is still slaying even under the evil spirit.
I have to say the Kang x Baek couple is the main reason I click on new episodes, they're vibing and powerful together, it's fun to watch their bonding grow. Just hoping there won't be a dark twist later
Don't you guys think JM actually likes his ideal girl in his head before he realises feelings for someone can be very unexpected (like Ji Yeon)? I feel like he never sees Yi Do clearly but continues to express "I like her" - he likes the girl in his head more. That's why when he gets to know real Yi Do, he's disappointed b/c they're not the same, which explains why he changes attitude abruptly in about a day. One who has a very confident logic mind can be vulnerable when having to deal with honest emotion. JM literally caused a misunderstanding, which can be simply resolved if he is more honest and effectively expresses himself. It's not like Yi Do and JM have sth yet, so both will be fine by just being clear. I think if this situation happens in other dating shows, usually people will confidently say to their potential date that "I'm interested in you now, so want to find out more about you and our future, but I also have different interests so we should not feel attached yet."
I just don't understand how the guys don't see min hong in a romantic way ???I get people have types but just…
I feel like Minhong is really a girl's girl type, she is supporting, kind and empathetic. She gives great advices for others. I guess many girls will fall for Minhong because she has this realiable, confident and sweet energy, making her an ideal person to count on. But maybe what men looking for at a girlfriend is not these traits, female often seek these characters more, maybe that's why we girls all admire Minhong so much.
