Brief, concise, and enlightening.

Birthcare center was a strange drama I happened to watch. At first I found it hilarious with it's exaggerating first episodes. But as it went on, I realized how deep it tackles about motherhood and parenthood--as well as relationships. It was short with only 8 episodes, but it covered a lot of realistic angst. It's like attending a forum by a well known speaker. Brief and consice. It's strange because I felt like it was discouraging us to be mothers, but then at the end it was actually cheering us on. Highly recommend to people in relationships, planning to have children, and to every child that we are. "A good mom, is not a perfect mom."

I don't like giving high rates as to give room for improvement, and that's the only reason why I didn't give this a perfect (but almost) rating.
Disclaimer, I've never done a review before, like I've given some thought and I just end up saying 'nah why bother'. So thanks if you're taking some time considering my thoughts as to why; why did this drama, made me write. Go watch it now. Lol. Okay I'll just give reasons why I couldn't get over with this without expressing my gratitude.

First off, it's not the kind of drama that has higher kind of production, okay. It's a chill type, romantic-comedy, so the props and the settings aren't heavily equipped like those in high production kind. So don't watch this with too much expectations in that department.

But

#1: the acting skills were great.
From the supporting main leads to supporting roles. Like Zhao Xin, Chen Chuchu, Su Zi Ying, and Lin Xi to be specific, they had it in them to convince you that what their angst, fear, or yeah, what they deemed valuable really has value, though with so much thought in the modern times these are petty things (I mean this the nicest way) so what I mean is, their acting skills managed to snatched me out from the present time. Next, a very important point, the chemistry between Chen QianQian and Han Shuo (I hope I spelled these character names correctly) was so palpable, they got me reeling for their next interaction and got me feeling hurt when they're apart. Without the chemistry between the two, the whole drama would simply fall apart, like i would've not followed through to the 'a bit vague story line' if it weren't because of them; plus they also acted well, individually--apart from the whole romance thing. And personally, the characters Bai Ji and Zi rui are my favorite, please find out why by paying attention to these actors' (whatever their real names are) on point comical acting skills. I just thought without these 8 people, the drama wouldn't be as fascinating as it was.

#2: the plot.
oh, here we go, the topic I so wanted to discuss. There were some points in the plot that got me saying 'oh so it's gonna be like the other drama I've watched', and then it did, but then it also did not. I think that's the most enjoyable part for me, when I wasn't able to guess what's going to happen next. It was kinda shaky, to be honest there were parts that I was like "oh that escalated quickly", "what the heck is going on?" But it's because it tried to go beyond the normal in the 'safe zone' kind of story telling we're all used to. But trust me, it'll make sense. I love how it all turned out.

#3: FEMINISM
Feminism is the main point of this drama, and as a feminist it conquered a very big part of my being, especially when they expressed (not through words but the whole story says) that "feminism is not about women being superior to men, but it's about equality, meaning giving the same chances and RIGHTS to both men and women" like how it must be. I just wanna give a 90° kind of bow to the writer/s.

#4: Humour
The humour of this drama is aligned with mine, and I think to most people too, since I laugh easily, ( tho I think it'd be so much better with better sound effects). But yeah up to the very end, it's witty and hilarious that despite being sad that it's gonna end, I was still smiling, they just give you this fun vibe.

#5: Concept (Writer-character relationship)
Gosh, this opened up my mind to so many aspects (as a low-key novelist) as to how to treat your characters. Really I appreciate the lesson a lot. I can't explain more, otherwise I'd spoil it. But to anyone reading this (I hope there are), try watching this, I know you must've watched a lot of dramas with the same genre, but every story has its own uniqueness, and importance. Just try (in a soft voice) watching this, and JUST TRY (yeah in a loud-imma-scream-if-you-dont voice) I've watched it thrice already! ☺️

A drama that won't feed your anxiety.

Viewers often love a drama they can relate or put themselves to. And there's no way you can in this drama, unless you're living in ancient times with bethrotal marriage. No kidding, this drama is far too impossible to happen in real life, like the situations, the characters, the way they think,and even the choices they make! Which is more interesting. It's hundred percent fantacy but I promise they won't hurt you, rather make you laugh a tons if you don't judge them too strictly. I suggest, before you begin watching this, make sure to put yourself in the third perspective (the viewer), if you won't put yourself in their shoes and just see what's happening as it is, then you'll enjoy it--to the point it's therapeutic. Enjoy everyone!
