Medical dramas are my jam. So this one and another on-going drama are my favorites of all that are airing now.
However, yes always a however LOL. I'm kind of used to how c-dramas, more often than not, paint female characters in a bad light.
First, the female villain is over-jealous, too over the top, too unrealistic. As medical student, so she's not stupid, but her actions are like from a low IQ person. She is there just to make viewers' blood boiling.
Then the female psychiatrist - She's a Harvard graduate for heaven's sake. Why acting so shameless? In real world, Lou can sue her for sexual harassment.
Last, the FL, you can't just dump your boyfriend cold turkey like that.
Nothing against the actress, but her acting is just one-dimensional. With her character, I would love to see her show more internal conflicts.
And now the romance, well I don't want to talk about the kisses as they are just so bad and so awkward that I feel bad for both of them. Just that Lou always looks at her like she's the only woman in the whole world, but she, well I don't feel much from her.

Why are too many dramas with fake brother in love with fake sister trope these days? To name a few, lost u 4ever, fireworks of my heart, the up coming the rise of ning, and of course this one.
Having said that, of all 3 guys in this drama, I like Yang Jian the most, looks rough on the outside but a softie inside. The way he quietly takes care of Zhao Yang just melts my heart.

That would require a lot of coding algorithm for each and every drama. Considering the website relies on volunteers and donations, may not happen

The look on his face when Jiang Hu blurted out Gao Yi's name was priceless - shock then sad, pain
But then it seems the sudden kiss compensated for all that, maybe? Not really, a drunken kiss doesn't count

It's a crime to look that hot in a PJ. You know who I'm talking about 🤣

Well said, spot on, and really funny 👍🤣

Episode 11 - after a negotiation broke down, she long left but he was still sitting there staring at the chair - "it's quite ordinary but why is it suddenly different now?"
The scene lasted only a minute or so but the unspoken meaning of his action, his few words kept me re-watching it many times.
And that I call great screenplay, great directing, and great acting.

I think they have changed a lot from the novel or else it won't pass censorship

Exactly. He's a business man and he acted just like one would. Business and feeling shouldn't be mixed. I could see he would help her revive her business down the road but he wouldn't spoon feed her.

The drama so far is as realistic as it can be in C-drama world.
She - had the world at her fingertips then all came crashing down. Adding salt to the wound, the people she trusted betrayed her. But she handled it all with grace and as dignity as she could.
He - he might have liked her deep down but he is not acting like her knight in shining armor like other cliché story line I have seen many times before.

So funny the rating is yoyoing between 7.8-8. I look at the episode' rating and did some math for fun. There seems to be 2 dedicated anti fans who are able to beam them up to the future and rate 1 for every un-aired episode.

Rate every ep if we can

And here's the rating goes, same old same old.
Some stupid, unrealistic, cheesy romance, non-story story dramas that cater to teenage hormone got 9 or 9.1; whereas dramas like this get low rating. If I watch dramas based on MDL rating, I would miss out bunch of great dramas.

I know right 👍🤣

Their first encounter was funny. He got a free burger. Their second encounter, the sexual tension, the amount of flirtation, the chemistry were just insane. If it were an American show, we would say "get a room already". 🤣

Child abuse is hard to watch. Hope the dad burnt in h*ll

More than half way and somehow I just dislike the FL, the way she treated ML. And ML, his endearing look at her, his un-conditional love, his sacrifice for her, made me think she did not deserve him. I hope FL's storyline is getting better.

Well, it's losing its charm a bit IMO. I know it when i found myself losing focus and skipping. Some one-liners are supposed to be funny, but they didn't make me laugh. Nam Soon is a bit too cute - the actress seemed trying so hard that she came across as un-natural. Mainly, the story is becoming boring. I hope it's getting better

Yeah, in the drama, his feeling developed gradually until he realized it.
In the novel, her parents knew when she came home at age 13 and they saw the jade bone on her hair. She was clueless until he confessed.
The novel handled it appropriately as he did not confessed until they met again when she was 18. However, the idea of having feeling for girl as young as 8 is still uncomfortable. And believe me, there are chinese novels that are much worse in term of pedophilia.

In the novel, they were 9 years of age gap. They first met when she was 8 and he was 17. She became his only disciple until she was 13. They met again when she was 18. Even though he had feeling for her, but he only confessed when she was 18. So nothing inappropriate.
In the drama, they changed story line and reduced the age gap to about 4 years.
