Amor é Panaceia (2023)

"Love is Panacea" shines brightest when delving into the challenges of medical research and the emotional toll of grappling with a life-threatening illness. For those anticipating a romance-centric plot, the series may fall short of expectations. Romance, while present, takes a backseat, and unfortunately, the romantic scenes are marred by inadequate writing and direction.

As the narrative shifts its focus back to the home country, there's a noticeable enhancement in storytelling quality. While a few unnecessary clichés persist, accompanied by questionable editing choices, the overall experience becomes more palatable. Fans of Luo Yunxi, medical science enthusiasts, and those drawn to angsty romances will find "Love is Panacea" to be an engaging and intricate modern drama.

Despite its strengths, the series does suffer from an abrupt conclusion, leaving me wishing for a more satisfying and well-rounded ending. Nevertheless, if one can overlook this shortcoming, the show offers a compelling exploration of medical challenges, love, and the complexities of modern life.

Miss, for me..

This was not my cup of tea. I was looking forward to it because I have been a fan of Luo Yunxi since Ashes of Love and was mesmerized with Till the End of the Moon. The writing here is so lukewarm, that it does our ML no justice. I was familiar with Zhang Rue Nan when I first watched her in Date with the Future. I liked her role as the relentless, kind, tough young reporter and was hoping her role would, once again, be along those lines. It is to an extent, but it falls short because she makes herself so unlikeable in this drama. I don't know what it is. Perhaps, the writers are at fault here for writing her in a way that made me feel less than charitable towards her. The way she pushed away our ML may have been necessary for the conflict in the story, but there has to be some underlying pull to counteract the push. All I saw is push here, and she gave off some very negative vibes. That, and the lack of chemistry between the leads killed it for me. I was happy the secondary couple did not take away too much air time from the main leads, but they almost disappear completely at times. Still, there was some annoying cliches and some outright ridiculous medical implausibilities that really raised my eyebrows. I will continue to watch Luo Yunxi because I can't fault him for this stinker of a show, but no more Zhang Rue Nan dramas. She is cute, but there is nothing in her performances that screams overwhelming desire to see her in anything ever again. Cui Yi, as Su Wei An's mother, was a biggest bright spot in this dull drama.

Should be a good one, but it has some negative points

I dont care whether a drama has happy / sad ending. It wont affect my rating

This drama whole plot is fine. But it has some negative points

Chinese drama lately often picture a marriage which not approved by parents. Gu Yun Zheng couldnt forgive his father until the end. This is BAD example for family in real life. I dont think govt should approve this / keep promoting this kind of culture

This Gu Yun Zheng always to find perfection but in the end he also couldnt save his most loved person.

I couldnt understand why if SWA doesnt have hipertension, why she wont try to take HDQ 39. Since it only has negative adverse effect for hipertension ppl such as her aunt

Acting is good
Ost are excellent
But morale story i dont really like at some points. Ending is good though IMO, realistic

80% of Cdrama based on novel, this make drama plot cant have creativitiy. Stick with novel although it is unrealistic at some points. They should have more dramas NOT based on novel so can have free, creative and realistic scenario

Great ? for trying to heal depression and saving life

This tv series has romance but that’s not all what important! It’s a controversial issue about someone who’s been dismissed from graduating medical as a profession because of jealousy of her supposedly best friend she trusted and her connection because she comes from a rich and educated family- an evil purpose! It’s a story of trying to heal not just disease , depression and most important is trying to find how to help people who are suffering from Huntington disease ! I like ?? this because, it made me understand Huntington disease and we hopefully ?? one day help them to heal .

yet another show to release before Wanning comes home :(

I have been waiting for Immortality for eons now, this is yet another show that was filmed wayyyy after hyx and got to be aired before it.

This is not that bad, but it isn't that great either. The story/plot is very bland and boring. It's the same set up as a bunch of other shows. It's supposed to be a medical drama. It kind of is, I mean they talk medical stuff, but none of it seems right. They can't show the surgery really. The surgery scenes are not realistic in the slightest, all they really show is the characters hands all bloody. The surgery's also happen the same day as they talk about it which makes no sense. Not much of this show makes sense, but if you look past that I mean... you have Luo Yunxi and that man is beautiful. He's too good for this show, but I digress, it's all we have until hyx releases. piste

Relationship dynamic is just just copy and paste. They hate eachother at first, guy falls for girl, girl kind of falls for guy and then plays hard to get and runs away, guy gets upset and heavily pursues her, girl won't give in for longggg time, blah blah. It's upsetting, because once they finally get together it's pretty cute. I really enjoy their moments together once they are a couple; sadly, we don't get to see much of it though because it takes a while for them to finally officially get together.

Acting-wise is okay. Luo Yunxi is amazing as always, putting in his best effort and far exeeding in delivery. The FL Su, is just okay. She isn't unbearable to watch, she just doesn't have much range. Her facial expressions remain the same pretty much throughout the whole show, with a constant grimace on her face because she is running away from her feelings towards the ML.

I like the side characters. FL's best friend is honestly more likable than the FL herself and ML's side kick is decent too. They have a cute romance I guess.

The scenes in Lacaya are kind of low budget. The dubbing over in French isn't too good, some of the plots that go on make no sense. The one I can't get over is in the fist episode I think where the FL "saves" some guy after he gets in a car accident. It's pretty wild. So she sees this car accident, rushes over to help the person in the accident, but doesn't say anything to anyone about what she's doing. They just assume she is some doctor and then she brings over a drill to drill a whole in the guys head, while still not saying anything. Obviously, everyone is freaking out, but she just drills away and the guy seems dead. The police come and arrest her and she finally says like "oh! I was saving him!", but like what??? I get she was saving him, but still, it's dumb. She gets put in jail and then bribes the officers so she can make a call and gets the surgeon working on the guy to come to vouch for her. Obviously, the surgeon is the ML and he does vouch for her. It isn't brought to court or anything, nothing about the law is really brought up and this all happens within the span of a day which is crazy. Then she wines about having to pay a fine and somehow gets it reduced. It's wayyy crazier than how I'm describing it. Honestly, I recommend watching the episode, cuz gee is it entertaining. It makes zero sense and you lose braincells watching, but wow. There's more crazy things too honestly. The script is pretty bad, but bad in a way where you are entertained, not too boring.

In all honestly, I am only watching this for Luo Yunxi. If you are a fan of him, you will enjoy this show. He's in it a lot, and yes, he plays the same character he has played in every modern drama he has ever been in, and yes, it is a waste of his potential and acting skills, but he is so fun to watch. He plays a pitiful "chad" like man who simps very hard for the FL. He is just great in this. He looks so beautiful too, the styling department did a good job on this one. 8/10 and all of that goes to lyx. Love him <3.

Last remarks:
Finishing this show, I just feel it is a bit empty. The plot is interesting and I just feel like the show went about everything in the most boring way. I only watched for Luo Yunxi haha.

Good medical drama for doctor that forget what he need to do except money.

The drama story is very good for medical drama. It's have many research about medical.i like lou yunxi and zhang ruonan chemistry. How zhang ruonan inteprate her character as chinese women who fall in love have a shy whenever kiss scene happen. The love story overall good but not too much . In medical view it's good many time writer and director many times make reminder for doctor that forget what the doing because of money with hippocratic oath. Because i see many doctor forget about that too. It give a few different insight too about parenting not always father or mother true. But we have bad father too. In research about new drug the gave a lottle explanation that good too for people not know about drug know how difficult too make a new drug.. rewatch story for me is in middle because not many very touching story,romantic,or not too medical too.It's more about how huttington disease patient fight for the disease and good doctor, bad doctor and bad drug factory.
The bad thing:
1 in medical they doing cardiac shickin true way. But the ecg is false it's need to 0 first before come to normal because it's the effect of pacemarker, and they drill patient head it's true but it need on proper place don't in middle road, have good research about medical but not enough.
2 the love story touching but not too romantic because too many story that not too important add in there.
3 The second women and men story too few .the antagonist reason for become bad people logic is nonsense too.
4 the ending not tensed and sad ending. The tensed feeling and romantic feeling sometimes too shallow. When the men love the women it's not too clear how he love her. It's just make because only small contact and good way of meeting her. He fall in love with her. Need a few fixed.
5 parent. It's make the mother and farher is too bad person. But have a new way to tell not all parent perfect and they need people make judgment too.
Good thing:
1 in medical it give people know more about what docter need to do. Like drill the head when herniasi brain happen, Doing shock in approite time not in 0 heart rate people, process of research new drug is good way.
2 in love story their chemistry good and how the actress acting in very traditional way shy when kiss it's very good detail need to add because now many chinese film too open like west people.
3 in drug research it's good they tell we need a step from animal, people in small number and big number people all need to do.
4 for the parenting new way of thinking about not all parent is right.but not too wise too because chinese is cultural country about respect parent and teacher.
5 this film can watch till end but for me not too good to rewatch

OMG! Can we have better script and plot. It is bad in so many levels. Don't waste your time.

Love is Panacea is another drama about a top-notch, intelligent doctor who falls in love with his student.

I watched about 6 episodes of Love is Panacea, and don't waste your time on both. I love Leo Luo, and Zhang Ruo Nan has better on-screen chemistry with William Chan than Leo Luo. Here are the reasons why I am dropping these two:
- Love Is Panacea: Leo Luo and ZRN's on-screen chemistry is cheesy and non-existent.
- The plot is so stupid, and they try to make things more exciting and dangerous, but the delivery of it is so bad.
- This one is similar to South Winds Know, which was so bad that I don't want to invest any more time in it after I have watched 5 episodes.
- Like South Winds with doctors go to M Country to help the poor and needy, then run into local terrorist-terrified people. In Love is Panacea, Dr. Gu went to Lacaya with a similar plot; instead of speaking English, they speak French.

I fell asleep watching it because it was so boring, and the 2nd CP acted so badly as well. It seems that Leo Luo did better with historical drama than modern one. I give it a 5.0 rating.
