It was okay. But for those who have huge expectation prepare to be disappointed

I just finished all the episodes, thanks to the express tix in WeTV I got to finish watching it earlier. So my review contains spoiler.

After watching the final episode my final thoughts was 'huh? It ended it like this?? Is there a special episode coming?' Because it ended in a weird vibe. It felt rushed and lacking.

Overall:
I've been waiting for this drama since the first teaser was released in WeTV. The teaser looks so good, the couple look intimate and the vibe felt like it was a heavy romance plot.

Sad to say the teaser was what we expected but the reality is different. if you're looking for a drama that focus on romance between the main couple, this drama is not it.

To be honest, you'll see more of the FL in her workplace, solving cases & problems than her spending time with the ML. I could say 70% of the plot revolved around the FL's career, 10% of the ML's development, 15% romance and 5% other problems.

I gotta say, this is one of the drama that I skip a lot of scenes, only to watch the couple scenes together. Why? Because only the ML and FL scenes are interesting to watch. Xu Kai and Yang Mi did a very good job, great acting, great potrayal of characters and they seem to have a good chemistry with each other despite the age gap. I found myself giggling at their scenes because they are just so adorable. I'm rating the cast 8.0 only for the 2 of them. Qin Shi and Yang Hua is just perfect.

The 2nd couple, Tao Junhui and Wu Fei is just bad. I don't get why they even bother with these two. Their couple screentime could be put into good use like giving more screentime and romance development to the main couple instead. They even created something unnecessary like Wu Fei turning against the FL. Tao Junhui, god I hate this man. I couldn't find one good thing to about him.

Other characters are good. Li Dai surprise me very much. I thought she will be the FL's enemy but turned out they become bestie. ML parents are great, FL family are great and I actually like Meimei and Wen Yu romance although they are kinda toxic lol).

Conclusion: this drama started off great but as it goes it became too heavy with the law cases. The ending is the most disappointing episode for me. I hope there's a special episode that shows more of the couple's future, although i doubt that will happen.

A very good drama but...

This drama actually has so many potential of being a great drama however, the ending really brought down. If you hate bad ending you can just watch til episode 30. Don't even hope of a second wedding bcus there's none. You should just imagine their wedding after episode 30.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE DRAMA

The leads character and personality. Ning Zhiqian is the cold, logical, and stubborn person meanwhile, Ruan Liuzheng is the cute, emotional and sensible person. Both of them are so different, but they fill in each other's weaknesses and nurture each other. In my opinion, it was possible because of them are a neurosurgeon. They understand each other occupation. To be honest, I was really frustrated with Zhiqian character, I sympathize with Liuzheng a lot and that's probably because I'm a woman and I know how hard it is to love someone but felt like they don't love you as hard as you do. And when the part where Zhiqian was scheming to get back with Liuzheng, I was actually cursing him telling him that he should do more because his effort was nowhere near what Liuzheng had done for him before but regardless, Liuzheng still accepted him (i rolled my eyes at her after that kiss btw) gave him another chance because we all know she never stop loving him and you can basically see love pouring out of her eyes whenever she look at Zhiqian. This all became what I actually love about the show, because it hit close to reality. The reality is men doesn't really change and women will find 1 reason to stay with you even if they have 99 reasons not to.

WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THE DRAMA

100% everyone who watched the drama til the end said the same. This drama has an ending that was so unnecessary. It totally ruined the whole thing. It leaves viewers so unsatisfied. And approaching the end episode you were hoping that it wouldn't drag til the end but shit dragged til the end. For me the whole going back to Africa shouldn't happened. Especially after the roller coaster of emotion during the covid plot. They should probably give us more happy moments after the frustrating push and pull, the sickness of family members and the death of Liuzheng's dad. Xue Weilin relationship with that female doctor would be interesting than them going to Africa for the war plot.

THE ONLY GOOD THING I FOUND IN THE ENDING

I love the fact that amnesiac Zhiqian actually shows his fun self. He's actually a fun person, he loves being outside and loves to have fun and smiles a lot. That part of him was locked away due to his bad past and expectations. And as usual, Liuzheng, is still there, waiting and loving his amnesiac Zhiqian.

EXTRAS

- I really like their English conversation. It's clear and not cringy.
- Their actual age gap is 13 years apart but it didnt felt like in the movie. Peng Guanyin looks younger and Wang Churan looks mature than their actual age.
