Originally, I didn't quite understand the two stories in the drama—one about parents setting aside past grievances to save their critically ill daughter, and the other about the head nurse risking everything to give birth to a sick child with a heart condition. I couldn't comprehend why parents would go to such lengths, disregarding the consequences, to save their children. Then, I suddenly remembered something I read in a book before, which explained that the process of biological evolution prioritizes the continuation of one's own genes. Therefore, parents' behaviors towards their children, driven by their innate genetic instincts, are aimed at ensuring their survival.

Jin Shi Jia, after years of further study, returns still as Lu Zhanbo. Not only does he not seem to have increased his intelligence, but he also exudes an extra layer of greasiness due to the loss of youth. Watching him forcefully deliver lines makes one worry that the next second, saliva might spurt out and splatter onto the screen. Zhao You Ting's acting, contrasted against Jin's performance, is like that of a true performing artist, surpassing mere competence. The TV drama itself is at the level of a "domestic medical drama" that plays it safe. The discomfort brought by Lin Yi adds an additional layer of frost on top of the snow.

When I first started watching, I was worried that Jin Shi Jia's acting might be too exaggerated or flashy, but as I continued watching, I realized that the character was well-established and portrayed brilliantly.
It was my first time watching Zhao You Ting's performance, and firstly, he perfectly embodied the character. Secondly, he's handsome, and lastly, his acting is excellent.
The two female leads were also great. However, I couldn't accept the family that concealed their medical history and resorted to violence against the doctors. It showcased a deeply negative side of human nature.

Better than expected. The main character's design is quite cliché, and some plot points are far-fetched. The supporting actors' performances can be stiff at times. However, it's not to the point of being unwatchable, and you can still feel the sincerity of the screenwriter. The difficulties faced by both the doctors and patients are portrayed well. The characters are also well-rounded, as every family has its own struggles. It is precisely these various hardships that ultimately highlight the compassionate nature of the medical professionals, making them true angels of empathy.

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.
BlindBoxDetox1 year ago rating:6.3
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...)
Solidified Time1 year ago rating:9.9
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 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.
ReadRomantic1 year ago rating:7.8
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!
SugarDoughPie1 year ago rating:9.6
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.
Unnamed1 year ago rating:8.1
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!
LittleFairy1 year ago rating:8.1
I just finished binge-watching it, and I feel that the handling of doctor-patient relationships was touching. The music would start playing, and I couldn't help but shed tears. However, I felt that there were too few patients portrayed, and I wasn't really interested in the romantic storyline between the male and female leads. I wanted to see more about treating illnesses and saving lives. But in the later two or three episodes, only one medical case was discussed, and the pace slowed down, making me anxious to know what happens next. The development of the relationship between Lin Yi and Xiaoran also felt a bit lacking. Overall, it's quite enjoyable to watch. My heart goes out to Director Zhou. I feel like the whole world is unfair to him. Director Xiaofeng is both conflicted and kind, struggling to survive in the workplace through his own efforts, and I really empathize with him.

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.
Guo Daisy1 year ago rating:9.1
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. ????
ImpulsiveMe1 year ago rating:7.2
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.
Oxygenless1 year ago rating:7
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.
Blushing Hug Dragon1 year ago rating:9.8
Great! It's been a long time since I've seen such a good industry drama in Chinese TV series. I particularly appreciate the portrayal of various female characters in the show, especially Director Cui and Professor Fang. Director Cui, who chooses not to marry or have children, is not excessively portrayed as pitiful (previous dramas tend to add some unexpected events to such choices), but instead emphasizes her charismatic leadership qualities. As for Professor Fang, the focus is more on depicting her professional abilities. I really appreciate a script that respects women in this way.

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.
Mu Mu 211 year ago rating:9.3
It's not bad, actually. They've portrayed many doctor-patient conflicts and the difficulties hospitals face. I'm currently on the eighth episode, and I really don't like Lin Yi's character. It feels like Jin Shi Jia is playing this role of being morally superior and arrogantly accusing others as if it comes naturally to her... Although I understand that the story is about character growth, with the two male leads learning to work together and understand each other... The female lead is adorable and I really like her, Mao Xiao Tong portrays her character very comfortably. It's satisfying when Lin Yi stands up to the villains later on.
Overall, it's good, especially the portrayal of the female characters. Particularly, the mother of the male lead doesn't express regret for her choices, even though she feels indebted to her child. This is a good aspect. She has achieved her own success and made contributions to the medical field. Her relationship with the male lead doesn't instantly reconcile; the process of breaking the ice slowly is more realistic.

The trio from Dongli Hospital is amazing! The main couple's storyline has been captivating, and I really enjoy the chemistry between the doctor and Lv Shi. The CP (couple pairing) of Lin Yi and Fang Xiao Ran is also incredibly engaging. It's been a while since I've seen a heterosexual couple that works so well together. And in the final episode, we even got to witness the CP between Lin Yi and Zhou Xiao Feng. It was simply delightful, and there was no forced sweetness. It felt very natural.
As a workplace drama centered around doctors, I think it's exceptionally well-done. The portrayal of the doctors and their profession is commendable. I highly recommend watching it in comparison to other contemporary dramas.

They have such great chemistry! ???? Big hugs! Despite limited screen time, I really liked Chen Yue's character. Mainland Chinese dramas need more "selfish" and "imperfect" female roles. It will remind me of many people who have stayed at Dongli Hospital, recalling some unresolved separations and unexpected encounters. ❤️

I'm currently on episode 14, and the two episodes related to family ties made me cry. Just adding a comment, I really can't stand the unnecessary romantic relationship between Lv Shi and the other character... It's so annoying, I don't want to watch all the lovey-dovey stuff. Can't they focus more on the career storyline? Later on, they insist on mixing everything together, and it's hard to skip those parts. I'll provide further comments once I finish watching, but without the Lv Shi storyline, I would have given it a rating of 3.5-4 stars. However, with what happens later... it only deserves 2 stars.

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.

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.
