I wanted to like it...

Production wise, it's ok.

Acting wise, it's not horrible. The actors, both leads and supporting, do an overall good job.

Story wise, it's alright. There are multiple storylines to follow (which can make it feel a little choppy sometimes).
1) My favourite storyline would probably be either Dr. Zhan and her father (if it's more developed going forward) or Xiong Fei and Luo Yuan (balancing getting to know each other and their own lives and aspirations).

2) My favourite character is Falcon (he's fun, caring and has depth as a character). A close second is Xiong Fei or Dr. Zhan's nurse friend (though we don't see much of her).

3) My least favourite character and storyline is Ding DingDing. Her introduction leaves a bad taste and I have not been able to warm up to her or Zhou Ming. Dr. Cai was also a torn in my side, but at least he was never (at least not yet) portrayed as a main or sympathetic character.

But the other storylines. characters and relationships feel flat. Even actors who have good chemistry together come off as kinda illogical or rushed. And that makes the show as a whole extremely underwhelming. For the first about the 10 episodes, I was watching the entire thing. But afterwards I found myself fast-forwarding alot.

Still not sure how I feel about Luo Ben. I think he's a good person, and there are definitely some great characteristics or traits there, but he feels almost… 2D. Predictable and kinda underwhelming-ly unchanging. The same could probably be said about Dr. Zhan. And maybe that's my greatest gripe with this drama, because I decided to watch it partly because of the director and partly because of Lou Yun Xi and Janice Wu,
