Welcome to Milele Village Reviews

Wu Mei is the most natural and authentic character. As the head nurse and deputy team leader, she carries her responsibilities well, promptly resolving conflicts within the team without dragging things out. She portrays a lively, distinctive, and down-to-earth individual.
Zhang Yu Qi's performance is seamless, leaving no traces of acting, and it has given me a new impression of her.

It feels like it's been a while since I last watched a drama featuring Zhang Yu Qi, but it still gives me a familiar feeling. She exudes a cool and confident vibe, and her delivery of the original dialogue is on point. It's filled with a sense of responsibility and warmth.
She portrays the generosity and self-assurance that a head nurse should have, and she also straightforwardly expresses the challenges faced by the team. I'm looking forward to watching more as the story progresses.

After watching one episode, I must say the cast is excellent. The entire ensemble delivers performances that feel very natural, and the dialogue is lifelike. The plot has a good pace, and the editing is sharp. Each important character's personality and profession are portrayed accurately.
Especially impressive are Ma Jia's assertiveness and the vice dean/master's endless compromises. It's a helpless love indeed!

Hilarious! This drama seems serious, but the details are all filled with humor! Ma Jia finally manages to set aside his pride and go find his master, only to coincidentally encounter his "archrival" Jiang Da Qiao as well.
They even share an unspoken understanding as they jointly deliver senior milk powder. I'm looking forward to seeing these two reconcile in the upcoming plot!

Assisting foreign countries is not an easy task. It requires sacrificing certain things, such as family and the companionship of one's daughter, just like Jiang Da Qiao portrayed by Zu Feng.
Sometimes, competence alone is not the sole criterion for a promotion; one's overall qualities in various aspects also come into play.

The story in the first two episodes feels very realistic, exposing another side of the workplace where background matters more than skills. But Ma Jia's character is quite interesting, incredibly "bold" and doing things that even ordinary workers wouldn't dare to do.
She also voices the thoughts of many people, which is very satisfying. Five stars from me.

From what I've seen so far, Wu Mei is my favorite character. She is generous, doesn't sweat the small stuff, and prioritizes patients above all else. Workplace dramas should definitely have more character setups like hers, showcasing the strength of Chinese women.

The first few episodes are good, not at all superficial, and very down-to-earth. It portrays a middle-aged person facing career bottlenecks and family crises, "going crazy" to fight for their rights.
The harsh realities of the world and heartwarming stories coexist, making it quite relatable to real life. Looking forward to what's to come.

Ma Jia was one step away from writing "I want to be a director" on his face. This is exactly how us working-class individuals blatantly show our desire for promotion and salary increase. The sense of identification is incredibly strong.
After all, we want to have the skills and experience, so why shouldn't we be allowed to hang up our achievement banners?

The current impression is not good. The male lead is arrogant, emotionally unstable, and fails to understand that the burden of a family should be shared. It's not fair to overly blame the other party.
In the workplace, one should not bring their negative emotions onto others. Unjust treatment should be fought through reasonable means instead of throwing tantrums like a child.
Perhaps these issues will be resolved and there will be character growth later on, but such a start is highly uncomfortable.

For the sake of dramatic effect, they had to arrange a protagonist who constantly gets into trouble and then gradually undergoes transformation and taming. The actress, except for the female lead, hardly gets any screen time.
Some dirty and tiring scenes are simply avoided, like when they first arrive in Africa and have to clean up a dusty room. Since the female lead doesn't go, other actresses also can't go to those scenes to showcase their skills.
Otherwise, they would be targeted and excluded. This reflects the dynamics of the entertainment industry.

I was truly moved when I saw Wu Mei and Ma Jia performing the surgery. I used to think that acting on their own was not right, but in this scene, the value of their actions becomes apparent. Indeed, doctors should prioritize patients, and Wu Mei's willingness to take responsibility in that moment was truly powerful.

Ma Jia's story confirms the saying that people move on and things cool down. It also showcases the most authentic aspects of the workplace. His character design is quite likable, being principled yet also quite arrogant. He can directly confront his superiors when he's unhappy with unfairness or injustice.
As a working individual, it's enjoyable to watch.

I've watched two episodes, and it's quite thought-provoking. Ma Jia's professional life is relatable, where his exceptional skills are overshadowed by office politics. The conversation between him and Dean Liang is particularly frustrating to watch.
It would have been good for him to explore opportunities outside by switching jobs. If it were me, I would have made the same choice.

When Ma Jia said, "Coming from a small place, he accepts his fate," I was truly moved. They say hard work pays off, but in the face of reality, all that effort can only make way. Perhaps this is the bitter reality faced by working-class people.
The drama portrays this aspect quite realistically, though in a light-hearted manner, rather than delving deep into the hardships. After all, the upcoming foreign aid storyline will be the highlight, where Ma Jia and Jiang Da Qiao are bound to accept and understand each other, ultimately fighting side by side.

Ma Jia's portrayal is both authentic and relaxed. The authenticity is evident in his state of mind, including professional and family issues. The relaxed vibe is reflected in his interactions with his apprentice, featuring both mentorship and humorous cuteness.
Well, this middle-aged man's state of mind has truly won me over. I can imagine how interesting it will be to see him on an overseas medical mission.

A tribute to the 60th anniversary of the dispatch of Chinese medical teams abroad, this drama deserves praise for its subject matter. It's rare to see a production that avoids preachy and rigid storytelling. The actors deliver performances that feel authentic, immersing the audience in the plot.
Ma Jia's character is both pitiful and hilarious! However, he also manages to discover new possibilities in life.

Such a realistic portrayal of a dual-career family. Both of them are busy with their work, and it's inevitable for the work-related emotions to spill over into their home life! But luckily, Liu Xiao Xian has become more outspoken and can proactively express her vulnerabilities.
Ma Jia's comforting words also show high emotional intelligence. However, I have a feeling that their marriage may not go far...

You can always trust Jin Dong! The portrayal of the middle-aged rebellious worker was so authentic, it was like watching my dad. He was passed over for promotion because of a competitor's contribution, but he remained determined and continued to work meticulously without making mistakes.
That's really impressive. As a fellow working class, I admire his dedication.

Peng Wei embarking on a foreign aid mission just seven days after getting married truly showcases his determination and sense of responsibility towards his career. Although there is a sense of reluctance, I believe he will bring joy and sparks to Maile Village during the foreign aid journey.
I'm looking forward to witnessing his remarkable journey in Maile Village!

The dramatic conflicts are portrayed excellently. One character is diligent and hardworking, while the other has just returned from abroad, and both believe they are outstanding enough to deserve the position of director.
As a result, every encounter between them is particularly intense, filled with bitter mockery and mutual suspicion... Their acting skills are unquestionable; they are truly fantastic.

The drama pays attention to many details that are spot-on. For example, when the senior and junior brothers visit their teacher's home, one of them takes off their shoes inside while the other leaves them outside.
The commendation plaque being insincere, done by subordinates, leads to a misunderstanding by Ma Jia. All these details are in line with the characters' personalities, and the careful attention to detail is one of the key strengths of the drama.

In life, it's often the case that eight or nine out of ten things don't go as planned. The feeling of disparity when putting in significant effort but not receiving the desired outcome is truly realistic.
The struggles faced by the campaign director and the news reporter in selecting topics require tremendous effort, and it's heartbreaking to witness their endeavors.

A lineup of talented actors carrying the drama. It's already satisfying to watch these seasoned actors deliver impressive performances. Combined with the humorous and joyful style of the drama, it showcases the extraordinary journey of compassionate medical professionals.
It's truly witty and profound, overall a high-quality production.

A very realistic medical drama that incorporates elements of light comedy. It's overall an effortless and enjoyable watch. The tone is particularly vivid, and even with the introduction of many characters in the first four episodes, they are all memorable.
Each person has their own charm and uniqueness. It feels like a lighthearted comedy about the lives of healthcare workers, filled with humor and liveliness. I'll definitely keep watching.

I feel that this TV series is not about idolizing a character, but rather about depicting the emotional journey of an ordinary person deciding to participate in medical aid abroad. Ma Jia's initial decision is actually a better choice for a small character who has been toyed with by fate.
It's about choosing a different way of life and truly making a difference.

I finished watching two episodes, and I feel it's really good. It's different from the medical-themed dramas I've seen before. It focuses more on their careers and personal lives.
The upcoming storyline involving foreign aid may bring about a change in the characters' attitudes, leading to personal growth and friendship. I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes.

TV dramas with foreign aid themes are rare in my impression, but seeing the creative team, I felt assured. After watching the first episode, it's indeed commendable, so I'm here to leave a comment right away.
The plot is very smooth, and the portrayal of the lives of contemporary urban professionals is quite realistic. Now, onto watching the second episode!

Liu Xiao Xian and Ma Jia, one program officially ended and the other failed in a professional title selection, but both of them didn't give up easily. Instead, they chose to explore new possibilities in life. The two of them were in sync, fighting side by side, which aligns with my view on love.

Following the teacher in the drama learning African languages, I've learned that it's not only about accurate pronunciation but also about delivering it with enthusiasm to achieve authentic pronunciation. I've gained knowledge. The meaning of "African time" is quite interesting, but I won't spoil it.
Watch it yourself! The concept of medical time being above all other times is something I strongly agree with and find awe-inspiring. My salute to the medical teams involved in foreign aid missions.

Programs that cater to the desires and needs of the people cannot compete with parent-child variety shows. The realistic dialogues and the passion poured into the production over several months were shelved due to higher ratings.
This is the naked reality. Liu Xiao Xian's storyline holds great significance. We should all reflect on why such programs are becoming increasingly scarce. It is us who have deprived these types of shows of their survival space.

The male lead perfectly captures my state of mind, haha! If he can't win, he runs away. If he's unhappy, he speaks his mind. He truly embodies the reality of working in an office, doing things that I wouldn't dare to do.
It's refreshing! Who says middle-aged people can't avoid things? Ma Jia is quite in tune with the trends, just like young people nowadays. I'm learning from Ma Jia's character.

The driver was completely shocked by the apprentice's words, haha. Sometimes, when they randomly say things like "operate" or "open up the heart," it can really confuse people. The driver was wiping sweat off their hands, wondering what kind of people they were dealing with.

Yao Yao's kick to Jiang Da Qiao was hilarious! The whirlwind kick, kicking off without a word, and the glare she gave her dad, it felt like she was frustrated with his lack of progress.
She may be young, but she's wise beyond her years. The father-daughter duo is full of love. Yao Yao has ambition and a temper. It must be tough to meet the KPI of getting back together with her parents while keeping her career on track.
Dr. Jiang should stand up for his daughter's sake.

The workplace storyline of the doctors is also quite funny. The discussion between Ma Jia and the doctor who shares the same room about being married for seven years versus being married for seven days had me laughing so hard. It felt very realistic, portraying mid-life crises in a humorous and interesting way.
The depiction of another couple in the medical team is also vibrant, adding richness to the workplace aspect of the show.

Dr. Jiang is full of compassion, but Ma Jia is no less impressive. Performing hundreds of surgeries a year, putting in meticulous effort, yet not getting what they deserve. Anyone in their shoes would feel aggrieved. It's incredibly challenging to make a name for yourself without influential connections.
I empathize with their struggles.

It's my first time watching a story about a foreign medical aid team, and it feels quite fresh. When the members of the medical team introduced themselves, I could feel the passion and compassion in each of them. Even though Ma Jia joined with a bit of an escapist mentality, I believe that after experiencing the customs and culture of Africa, she will gradually change.
Escaping may be shameful, but it can be useful!

I truly salute the medical team members! Facing the harsh environment and challenges in Africa, I see their unwavering resilience and selfless dedication. They continuously grow in their work and I pay tribute to the Chinese medical aid teams abroad!

Jin Dong's portrayal of the character this time is slightly different from before. While maintaining a sense of composure, there's a subtle touch of humor that makes it more relatable.
The conflicts between him and his wife, as well as the challenges he faces in the workplace, feel quite authentic. Despite having skills and love, he still struggles to lead a fulfilling life, and it turns out that his promotion has nothing to do with his own abilities.

They managed to make a mainstream theme so humorous and entertaining. The creative team truly understands what the audience likes. Jin Dong playing a talkative and ordinary person is completely in sync, and his performance and lines resonate with the working class.
The other actors are also excellent in their acting, and the intense scenes are truly satisfying to watch.

I have a deep connection with this drama. Here's a suggestion for my friends: never resign impulsively. Difficulties are only temporary. Just like Ma Jia, he rediscovered his initial aspirations with the guidance of Dean Liang.
Moreover, he found a sense of responsibility as a healthcare worker through his "confrontation" with Senior Jiang Da Qiao. The experience of providing medical aid abroad further contributed to his personal growth.
It can only be said that "after the dark comes the light.

On the surface, they may appear to be doctors, but in reality, each and every one of them possesses extraordinary skills. At the training camp, they transformed into prominent figures—Ma Jia with his artistic talent, Peng Wei with his exceptional athleticism, and the other team members with their exquisite skills.
It showed me a portrait of talented men and women in the medical field.

Teacher Liang is actually an important character in pushing Ma Jia to join the medical aid team in Sanana. This character has truly provided Ma Jia with many opportunities. Although I'm not very familiar with this actor, they indeed portrayed the role to perfection and didn't appear weak next to a strong male lead like Jin Dong.

The talented Ma Jia is exceptional. He can skillfully wield a surgical knife to save lives, as well as paint captivating portraits with a brush. But the most impressive skill of all is his hairdressing ability. It's incredibly hilarious, and every time I watch it, I burst out laughing.
Who would have thought that the neighborhood committee would be involved in haircuts?

The relationship between Ma Jia and his wife is truly remarkable. When his wife first heard about Ma Jia's decision to leave, she didn't ask, "What am I going to do if you leave?" Instead, she was concerned about whether Ma Jia was giving up on himself.
After understanding his thoughts, his wife chose to fully support him. Even though they have to be apart, she still understands you the most and loves you the most.

Is it really necessary for the male lead to cause trouble in every episode just for the sake of dramatic conflict? Having an emotionally unstable character who can't communicate properly, ignores the advice of their superiors, and thinks highly of themselves, is this portrayal not tarnishing the image of aid doctors in Africa?
If it weren't for the authentic interviews with real aid doctors shown at the end of the episodes, I wouldn't even give this drama two stars.
