Set in the past

I sincerely think the drama should have been set more in the past and her journey to being a doctor. The jump made from her teenage years and her being a doctor was a big gap to fill. It created a disconnection on my part. Plus their love story was really empty, not much to hold on to.

I do have to mention the number of empty in between plots. Especially that of the love triangle. What I find repulsive in dramas are love triangle but this wasn't worthy of one as it shouldn't have existed in the first place.

Most importantly, somehow, the ending was very unsatisfying.

This is a drama that doesn't get old.

I was on a rampage for Chinese dramas. I do have a lot of experience with long and boring chinese dramas but the few that gave me a reason to keep watching has just been as wonderful as this drama.

As someone who hasn't visited or lived in China or isn't acquainted with the chinese history and people, I was able to experience the ordeal of the Chinese people at this time.

It wasn't an in your face story, the story started from the female lead running from being engaged to she and her twin brother growing and becoming more mature with every encounter they came across. The bond between them did not seem exaggerated but was built overtime, which just made the ending very painful.

Officer Gu on the other hand grows into a fine young man with unwavering principles and stubborn character, how he fell in love with his wife was pure and seemed like fate wanted them to be together.

What hurt the most was watching Jun Shan lose Pyang and Xiang Jun the older sister of the twins fall apart. Watching her do she can to stand tall and then die in the end was a lot to take in. It also pained to watch the fall out of both husband and wife, but considering their characters it was well underway.

For the entire family, watching them depend on Jun Shan and then taking care of themselves when he was no more was more like a retribution for me.

What I could say was I was proud of every single character in the Gu, Hu and Xue family at the end of the drama.

A wonderful piece I must say.

It Couldn't Have Been Better

The drama could have the better.

Kang To Han's motive for wanting to bring the elites down wasn't strong enough. His niece was the cause of the fire not them. It was more like a transfer of aggression. What made more sense was the tenacity at which he went after the Minister.

The drama could have been one of both, the revenge for both the men who had something against the elites/system or the uncovering the reason behind the never ending plague and the dream project.

Also, the drama lacked the emotional connection for the characters. As there was too much going on, paying attention to the romance was almost impossible. Plus, it was so unnecessary for the police officer to die and also faking the death of Kang Yo Han twice was an overstretch.

All in all, the actors were amazing, they made the drama what it is.

I do think the drama if well written would be a gem.
