So this is my very first Chinese drama that I have watched successfully and to be honestly, I did not think that it's going to be that great.

Let me start by saying that this drama, was realistic in many ways and had its sense of seriousness while dealing with multiple problems. Some of you might have problems with the amount of time in which psychological problems could be solved, but I give it to the directors that they need to complete these problems within certain episodes, thus things got resolved much quickly.

Now let me move on to the actors.

Yan Shuren our main Lead, he is such an amazing actor. Every frame was just built for him. He is calm, composed, practical and when his time comes to really act, during the end of the series, he outshines all.

Sunshu- now I am a little confused by her way of life. As a psychologist, she needs to remain calm but at a lot of places, I found her to be childish. Even the dialogues or the way you portray them, she was at time way to harsh. Well that's what I felt.

Chi fan- Hehe I found him adorable. He is an amazing friend and can I point out. I am so envious of his Marvel collections. Hehehe ????????????

The rest of the supporting characters are amazing too. They'd start to grow on you.

As for the romance part, it's somewhere in the background. Not on the forefront. You'll enjoy the subtle ongoing of the drama for it sure is Melodrama. One needs to have patience to compete this.

For all the episodes I saw, yes I'll recommend you guys can watch this drama, for if you like the calming effect and not too fast paced dramas.

Njoy!!!

I’ll be the odd ball again and say this one is hard pill to swallow. I personally was/am having a hard time connecting with any of the characters. Although they appear to be people with internal struggles it still just feels like it’s missing something. Dumped by your love years ago, meets him again, gives cold shoulder and then all of a sudden friends again. The level of pain displayed does not match with the ease into it again. So far there is 70% hospital drama, 10% family issues and 20% romance/in my feelings. Makes for a good hospital drama but not so much romance drama for me. Acting is good but somethings missing for me, maybe emotions. Had to drop it.

From Survivor to Healer is a Chinese medical drama about the lives of the staff at the psychiatry/psychology department, and the love story between the psychiatrist Yan Shu Ren and psychologist Sun Shu. This drama discussed workplace politics, and mental illness. I liked that this drama didn't portray the doctors as perfect humans because in reality, no one is perfect. The cast was great at portraying their roles. The soundtrack was nothing special; it wasn't bad but it wasn't the best that I have heard. Overall, I quite enjoyed this drama and would recommend it.

So this is the first drama I saw with this type of story line. This drama is overall good . The psychologist sun shu character was greatly played. This drama is very good and the whole cast is also good and Chen yifan also played his role well.
If I talk about the cutest character I found in this drama was jingran, the nurse. She played a good character and it suits her very much.
Psychiatrist, shuren also played a great role and his acting was good. The plot of this drama almost set in hospital. The thing I like about this drama was it actually shows true human feeelings and discuss about the things which actually is going on in society. People actually take so much stress.
The thing I don't like about this drama was that it becomes boring sometimes.
Overall this drama is gud if you want to watch it but it's rewatch value is not great because you just get filled after watching it one time. That's all I want to say.

Incredible story with incredibly adorable characters

First of all this drama was indeed amazing. I did not expect it to be this good and I put off watching it for soo long because it had so many episodes but let me tell you. When I started watching it. IT WAS HELLA WORTH IT. I enjoyed every episode. The storyline just feels so natural and it just flows so well at a good pace. The acting was awesome and so so good. The music suited the drama very well and it just blended with the story so good. Overall, it's a definite watch worthy drama that is just so adorable πŸ’”πŸ‘©πŸ»β€βš•οΈπŸ§ πŸŒ΅πŸ§‘πŸ»β€βš•οΈπŸ–€

Left me empty!

I guess I needed to write a review for my low score. The drama never leaves the first page. (If you know what I mean) It does not build to anything in order to finish anything. It starts off slow and depressing and never goes anywhere from there, in my opinion.

To be honest this drama is about emotional baggage, everyone's emotional baggage and mental illness. Everyone is the drama is pretty much mentally ill. Or you can just say emotional baggage. Sure, we all carry some but there are still good days unlike this drama.

If you like the male and female actors they are nice to look at but that is about all they have to offer here.

I am not sure if there is more than one song in the sound track. I just kept hearing the some depressing song over and over and over.

I watch dramas to be entertained not to be depressed.

If you are already dealing with emotional baggage you might want to stay away from this one. Somehow I don't think this will make you feel better.

let's start off by me saying that this is another Chinese, Korean, and pretty sure other language drama plot that has been made about two lovers fell apart because of their own problems and reunited. this is getting my own for me! I want to watch something new and refreshing, it doesn't have to be all happy drama, but you guys get the point. From reading the synopsis I can already tell it's going to be one of those dramas that drags the story to 40 something episodes and we don't really know what's going on or can't get into the story. Sorry if you disagreed with me, but this is just my opinion. If you asked me why I wrote this when I only watched 5 episodes of this drama? I'm pretty sure that there are people who have a judging limit(Idk what to call it) of deciding that this movie or drama hooked me or not. which, for Me, it takes 5 episode.
