No melodrama needed, for an engaging and fascinating watch of the medical community in HK.

I have always had a liking to HK medical dramas, as I grew up watching The Hippocratic Crush series, which brought star Kenneth Ma to stardom, making him one of my favorite HK actors. He is also in this drama, making it a must-watch for me. I would not say Kenneth Ma is the star of this drama as this drama offers more of an ensemble cast, but he is still awesome and deserved the best actor award. This drama takes place in one hospital; it can be said that we do not get much (or even any) about the context or upbringing of the characters, which makes the characters shallow and lacking a real soul, but that is not a very big problem for me, as I do not enjoy watching dull character moments. Also, each character has their own distinct personality, justifying the actions that they take throughout the story. As doctors, each character is calm and professional, making it realistic (as tvb dramas tend to add melodrama, when it is unneeded). Overall, a very different approach and perspective on the HK medical community and an enjoyable and joyous watch for me, offering an engaging and absorbing storyline, with subtle but solid performances from the actors.
