Its Maoyan cumulative effective views are the highest in the history of the metric by a wide margin, reaching 4.189 B views as of July 1, 2026, and continuing to grow. Maoyan’s "effective views" (有效播放量) became the prominent/standard metric around 2023–2024. Before that, they used looser total playback numbers. The second highest is Legend of Shen Li 3.48B. There are only around 11 dramas over 2.2B. Most popular dramas can reach 1B with time + long-tail.
Is the ml a doctor? Confused since it has the tag and I remember the ML as being a CEO of some sort…
just rambling cuz I really like thsi story a lot... Han Ting in university was a medical student and Ji Xing an engineering student (probably mechanical since she was into robots). Then he transferred to a prestigious university in Germany, and he really only knew JI Xing probably for less than a year (maybe even one semester only) when he abruptly left for Germany to study. But Han Ting liked her a lot during that time and was going to ask her out too but then he had to leave suddenly. He never forgot her. He grew up with Zeng Di who family sort of think they should make a couple some day and Zeng Di followed him to Germany, but I think after meeting Ji Xing, Han Ting's heart was already taken. He told Zeng Di to go home after graduation and provided the robot concept for her startup. He got rid of her and also used her to do the startup which was actually part of his long-term plot. In Ep 1, when JI Xing presents the core module, Han Ting knew exactly what it was before she even said it because they worked together before in college in a competition. Han Ting is a genius level, he probably has medical, engineering, and business degrees. Han Ting has high IQ has to be above 150, he set up R&D center in Germany after school, he spent ten years doing that. Han Ting had it all figured out when he was a kid, lost his parents in an accident, he already had a vision and plan for pushing the technology forward in medical AI industry. Ji Xing was also really smart. Then along comes Ji Xing, who he had teamed up with for a healthcare robot concept in college because the engineering project needed a medical student expertise, and why they would reconnect again, same industry., and why he knew how brilliant she was, but her startup project however was in direct conflict with a key strategic initiative of his, that if discovered could derailed his entire plan to take back Dongyang Medical from his cousin who had been running it while he was overseas and doesn't really want to give it back even though their grandfather wants Han Ting in charge of it. So he still has to fight for it because his cousin has allies on the board and with Dongyang Medical he wants to push the Medical AI/Robotic industry forward at faster technological pace. Han Ting is a extremely ruthless man too and that makes him enemies.
I didn’t like the first 1-4 episodes, but after that, the show starts, and once the show starts, the show starts.…
I love the first episode so much, when Han Ting first appears on screen on the plane, completely derailing his cousin's plans to take control of Dongyang Medical. His cold icy exterior and killer instincts. Xu Kai portrays Han Ting in extreme pose and control over everything.
Some whiners keep bashing her acting skills, but what's really going on is overexposure. She's been working non-stop…
unless it's official from production, I don't believe it because I don't' think any producer can approach her while she is still under contract. I think depending on when her contract ends, it would take a few months to pick a script. So, if it ended Mar/Apr, then July makes sense, and the scripts she been reading as her independent studio, because her agency is not going to allow her to read scripts if she's leaving. But if her contract ended May/June, then I think she won't be filming until Sep earliest. I'm pretty sure she's independent now because of all the attacks she was getting earlier this year. And i doubt anyone will ever know exactly when her contract ends, of course, rumors.
Also, I guess I'm way more tolerant to domestic slow paced scenes, my guys just wanted to skip all the "dead…
I think your theory makes sense since they started over with a new script right as they are about to film too, isn't' that right? The original script which they deemed outdated for them took a year to write. I doubt one person can write this entire story that fast, and they probably writing as they filming. It's probably also why I keep reading comments about how the drama and novel are very different.

She hasn't filmed the past 8 or 9 months. Hopefully, the rest is doing her good. I know she says she's old but age is not it. She has old injuries that makes it hard for her body to keeping doing stunts. I think she's independent already. Her contract should have already expired sometime May or June. They just don't go around announcing these things. She'll likely start filming again later this year, prob. a modern one.
That's quite lower than I expected, but a few days ago I took a look at some reviews and they were brutal.
I think 6.3 is based on the comments after the finale If they used the comments from a week ago the score would have been 5.5. There are lot of haters, if you read the comments, it's really unfair to the score.
