The Heart Reviews

I started watching the drama because I liked Mao Xiao Tong, and then I discovered Zhao You Ting. I really like this actor. I know there's some beautification involved, but I'm particularly fond of the parts where the characters uphold their ideals and demonstrate kindness.
Perhaps this is the aspect of TV dramas that both reflects and surpasses reality. If it prompts viewers to contemplate and strive for goodness, it's truly a meritorious deed.
Each person undergoes questioning and continuously explores the meaning of their life in their career.

The character designs for the two male doctors are quite cheesy, and the conflicts feel forced. Honestly, the hot-tempered doctor comes across as annoying. Mao Xiao Tong, on the other hand, looks gentle and comfortable.
There's no lovey-dovey nonsense; the doctors are all working hard, putting in long hours and intense work. It's realistic and deserving of praise. (However, it's surprising to see more arguments among the doctors than between doctors and patients, indicating that their workload is still not sufficient...)

I really shed tears in every episode. The tears would unconsciously circle in my eyes, not because of the main characters, but because behind each patient is the warmth and coldness of this world.
Of course, every actor truly portrayed their roles well. It has been a long time since I watched TV episodes back-to-back, and it's not something that can be understood by just watching a few clips on short video platforms.
Only by earnestly watching the unfolding of each story can one truly feel their sincerity and heartfelt messages.

Director Xiaofeng's family relationship storyline is incredibly touching, and the characterization of the two male leads is quite successful. Zhuang Jia Shun's struggle with poverty, little Qiang Wei, the caring grandmother with an "e" attribute, and the mutual understanding between Hua Er and Xiaofeng.
The husband scared away by the exorbitant medical expenses—these events have realism and warmth, which is quite rare in Chinese dramas. After all, the last medical drama I enjoyed was "Mechanical Doctor.

I'll provide a for the text you shared:

I watched it because of Jin Shi Jia, and with my strong personal bias, I can say it's watchable, although some cases felt overly contrived and emotionally manipulative.
Couldn't they take a slower, more detailed approach like in "Medical Examiner"? Nevertheless, compared to other domestic medical dramas, it's quite enjoyable.
I'll give it three stars, but don't get too proud!

Watching a medical drama for the first time, I think it's pretty good. Reality is already bitter enough, so it's nice to have expectations for a beautiful ideal. As for the lack of realism...
the screenwriter just wants to give each story a good ending. I still want to maintain faith in positive things.

Some parts of it were portrayed quite realistically, and the casting was good. However, Lin Yi's character development is a bit inconsistent. In the beginning, it was emphasized that the patient comes first above all else, but later on, when she encounters Mr.
Yan, who has some money, that principle seems to no longer apply. Can the logic be more consistent? It feels like the character is portrayed as someone with bipolar disorder.

The portrayal of the struggling low-wage worker hit me hard, just like how doctors become accustomed to the ups and downs of human emotions and Lv Shi becomes familiar with the gray areas.
But they are just low-wage workers, unable to change much. In this situation, people like Lin Yi and Zhou Xiao Feng, who wholeheartedly care for the patients, are particularly precious talents.

Although there are some unrealistic parts and flaws in the plot, it's still addictive, haha! Mao Xiao Tong is so sweet! I wish I had a sister like her. The sibling relationship is heartwarming (family-oriented), and I really like it!
Of course, the chemistry between Lin Yi and Zhou Xiao Feng is great too. Their emotions are well-portrayed. Impressive!

It's a great drama that people in the medical industry find appealing. I witnessed Lin Yi's growth throughout the series. At first, I even criticized him for seeming inexperienced clinically, but as the story progressed, he became more and more likable.
Dr. Zhou is a character I can relate to. I hope that every character in the drama has a good ending.

Zhao You Ting's acting is really good, and Mao Xiao Tong is beautiful, like a little angel in terms of character design. Surprisingly, Jin Shi Jia is the weakest among the three. Whenever there's an intense scene, it falls flat because of both the acting and the character.
The plot is decent, but it feels like the earlier parts were more enjoyable. The recent episodes have been losing their excitement the more I watch.

Every night, I watch it on Channel 8 with my mom, and it feels good. Watching it, I feel like it's a urban fairy tale, where the doctors aren't as good and the patients aren't as good either. But it's the same feeling when watching medical dramas.

I also want to say that being a doctor definitely requires a certain level of dedication and it's truly an admirable profession.

The plot is really good, and the background music is both conventional and unexpected. There's a noticeable disparity in the details (the prop teachers are not on the same level, and their skills vary greatly).

Did Jin Shi Jia play herself? She's so adorable and tsundere with her big round eyes.
Was it filmed in Qingdao? The red roofs really stand out.

Xiaoran is like a shining little sun, radiating brightness!

This medical drama is a tearjerker. I really didn't like Lin Yi's character in the early episodes, but fortunately, he grows and changes later on. I found myself crying in almost every episode; it really hits you.
Especially during the episodes featuring Aunt Yang, it's heartbreaking to see how someone can endure so much hardship throughout their life and still maintain an optimistic outlook. However, fate continues to be unkind to her, and in the end, she departs from this world.

Originally, I could give it five stars, but the part where the head nurse gets pregnant was too discouraging. Lin Yi speaks the truth and gets criticized by three or four people. They even arranged a special role for Teacher Cao to "enlighten" him.
The whole segment gives off a feeling that the results of the prenatal examination can be ignored. No matter what the unborn fetus looks like, it must be born. It feels like responding to a call for inducing labor. Speechless. ????

The beginning was really good, with well-developed characters, a clear storyline, and impressive acting skills by the cast. However, later on, it fell into the common pitfall of Chinese dramas—yes, it got really heartbreaking.
Why does every protagonist encounter such unfortunate events? And why does every character have some kind of crisis or even a terminal illness? Although the plot itself is not necessarily bad, it becomes exhausting.
Can't they just make a drama with normal people, at least halfway through?

Some scenes are still a bit cliché, like when encountering a complex congenital heart disease case, it's predictable that Zhou Xiao Feng will eventually go to support impoverished areas. Overall, it's a series of touching medical stories with not much romance plot, or rather, the portrayal of romance is superficial.
There were some moments of suppressed pain in the beginning, but it feels like that's just the nature of the workplace, and the same goes for a doctor's professional career.

The characters in "Jin Shi Jia" have too similar personalities, with a serious problem of homogenization. Although the character of the puppy boyfriend is cute, it still lacks a certain charm.

Zhao You Ting's character is very close to her real self, as if she's playing herself.
The male lead is cautious and careful, which makes the contrast in his romantic scenes even more endearing.

Mao Xiao Tong did a decent job, her character as the cheerful and sunny type is naturally likable. However, her face shows slight traces of cosmetic enhancements.

Agree with the concise pacing of the drama, with a strong start and a satisfying conclusion. The seamless integration of medical content and emotional storylines makes for a smooth viewing experience.
It also raises thought-provoking questions about contemporary issues. The chemistry between the three couples is enjoyable to watch, especially Yang Auntie and Qiang Wei. There are also plenty of tear-jerking moments.
However, there are some instances where the logic feels forced and emotions are overly manipulated.

There are some commendable aspects, but personally, I really dislike the portrayal in the TV drama where they emphasize the exceptional medical skills by promoting the idea of detecting congenital diseases in unborn babies through prenatal check-ups.
I don't find it touching at all; it's more like using love as an excuse for coercion. What's the point of giving birth to such a child? The whole family suffers, especially the child who experiences genuine pain. Parents shouldn't consider themselves great and indulge in self-gratification.

I couldn't continue watching after the first episode. The patient refuses treatment and dies, and it's all blamed on the doctor? What kind of values are these? And the self-righteous doctor thinks she can hold him back, coax him, and control him?
Are there really doctors like this in reality? How many patients does a doctor in a top-tier hospital need to see in a day? Is it even possible? Fabricated nonsense and yet it receives high ratings? Douban is done for.

This season's best Chinese drama series, even though it's an adaptation of a Korean drama, only borrowed the shell of the concept. Similar to "An Jia," the story is original and based on real-life events.
The only flaw is how they depicted a doctor, who is supposed to be worldly-wise and always considerate of patients, as such an annoying character. What do you think, Jin Shi Jia?

I witnessed life in a drama. Each person is the protagonist of their own story, following their unique life trajectory. It felt like watching a documentary. So when they were in pain, I felt it too.
When she cried, tears welled up in my eyes. And when he was angry and hurt, I shared the same emotions.
