A series that had a lot of potential partly ruined by a poorly written story

I don't like long commentaries and analysis on series, so I'll keep it short.
I really like 2nd Chance stories and Peng Guan Ying, so I had some expectations for this drama. However, on the repeated advice of other viewers, I stopped at episode 30 because the later episodes have a questionable/silly arc.

PLOT: A couple of divorced surgeons, find themselves 7 years after their divorce, working together (mentor/resident) in the same hospital. They hide their former relationship from others. The ML adopted a child. But they still have strong feelings for each other, despite their traumas and especially their fear of another marriage failure.

PROS:
+ A CL with great chemistry, performed by 2 great actors.
+ Child (excellent and who will also certainly be a very good actor).
+ Dynamic production
+ Realistic context and credible medical situations.
+ The support characters are well developed, sympathetic.
+ The vision of (active) women is modern.

CONS:
- The multiple flashbacks on the different periods of the CL's relationship make the storyline quite confusing.
- The character of the ex-girlfriend is very ambiguous: she no longer wants ML, goes away with a French museum curator, but distills perverse ideas "for her own good" in the head of the FL (which further increases her feeling of inferiority).
– The ML (played by Peng Guan Ying) is annoying with his indecisiveness.... Traumatized by the failure of his parents' marriage, OK + dumped by his girlfriend just before the wedding, OK... But his behavior after his own marriage is not understandable !! Even when he confesses his feelings, even when he wants to protect the FL, he always keeps a distance, hides the fact he's helping her, etc.
- Last narrative arc with father's cancer + ML accident and amnesia + ML being sent to Africa, while the FL remains in ignorance: it's stupid and doesn't make any sens.
- lengths in the 2nd half (skipping or speed 1.5).

===> A series that had a lot of potential (CL + context + good cast) but was partly ruined by a poorly written story.

Je n'aime pas les longs commentaires et analyses sur les séries, donc je vais la faire courte.
J'aime beaucoup les histoires de 2nde chance et Peng Guan Ying, donc j'avais des attentes sur ce drama. Cependant, sur les conseils répétés des autres viewers, je me suis arrêtée à l'épisode 30 car les derniers épisodes comportent un arc discutable/idiot.

PLOT : Un couple de chirurgiens divorcés, se retrouve 7 ans après leur divorce, à travailler ensemble (mentor/résident) dans le même hôpital. Ils cachent leur ancienne relation aux autres. Le ML a adopté un enfant. Mais ils ont toujours de forts sentiments l'un pour l'autre, malgré leurs traumas et surtout leur peur d'un nouvel échec.

PROS:
+ Un CL avec une great alchimie, interprété par 2 super acteurs.
+ Enfant (excellent et qui sera aussi certainement un très bon acteur).
+ Réalisation dynamique
+ Contexte réaliste et situations médicales crédibles.
+ Les personnages support sont bien développés, sympathiques.
+ La vision des femmes (actives) est moderne.

CONS:
- Multiples flash-backs sur les différentes périodes de leur relation, ce qui rend la storyline assez confuse.
- Le personnage de l'ex girlfriend est très ambigu : elle ne veut plus du ML, rejoint un conservateur de musée français, mais distille "pour son bien" des idées perverses dans la tête de la FL (ce qui accroit encore son sentiment d'infériorité).
- Le ML (joué par Peng Guan Ying) est agaçant avec ses indécisions.... Traumatisé par l'échec du mariage de ses parents, OK + largué par sa copine juste avant le mariage, OK ... Mais son comportement après son mariage n'est pas compréhensible !! Même lorsqu'il avoue ses sentiments, il veut protéger la FL mais reste toujours en retrait...
- Dernier arc narratif avec cancer du père + accident du ML et amnésie + envoi en Afrique, alors que la FL reste dans l'ignorance : ne tient pas la route...
- des longueurs dans la 2e moitié (zapping ou speed 1,5).

===> Une série qui avait beaucoup de potentiel (CL + contexte + bon casting) mais gâchée en partie par une story mal écrite.
