[Ep1] Drama alternates between 2019 (present) and 2012 (past).
2019. Our doctor drama starts abroad with guns. It ain't a serious Chinese doctor drama if we don’t do this in Ep1. Our FL is in danger! It ain’t a romance if our FL isn’t in danger at least once.
 |
| Ning Zhi Qian is in the picture too. Her eyes are filled with him. |
2019. Our ML risks his life to save Ruan Liu Zheng! She was his wife! And the villain lets them go just because of that? Lol. And he’s the most fearsome guy around?
2012. But Ning Zhi Qian is dating Dong Miao Miao. Ruan Liu Zheng was in love and out of love all on her own.
2019. Ning Zhi Qian seems to be the object of Ruan Liu Zheng’s scorn. She won’t drink his water without wiping the bottle lip. She also deleted his number, which she needs now. He’s just a little petty and tells her to remember it on her own. She remembers it!
[Ep2] 2012. Dong Miao Miao breaks up with Ning Zhi Qian before their marriage. She’s in love with someone else. He tries to keep her by promising to spend more time with her. She says he can’t. He’s going to be a full time surgeon soon, and he’d never place love before his career. Ruan Liu Zheng overhears everything. She even follows him to a bar and takes him home after he’s intoxicated. By chance, she meets his mother, an obstetrician. The two ladies connect immediately. The next morning, Mom Ning tells Ning Zhi Qian to consider Ruan Liu Zheng, who’s so sweet and cares so much for him. Mom Ning also apologizes to her son. She didn’t give him a proper family. She was always busy with work. As a mother, she thinks she failed. She wants him to learn to love someone and then he will truly be loved.
2019. Mom Ning passed away six years ago. She died in a car accident in Africa while she was on duty. After seeing him again, Ruan Liu Zheng tells him he seems unapproachable. It must have been tiring and rough for him these years. Yeah. No love.
2012. Ruan Liu Zheng helps Ning Zhi Qian overcome his heartbreak, but she’s misunderstood by her classmates for being the other woman in his relationship with Dong Miao Miao. (It doesn’t help that they’re riding on the bike together and she’s wearing the motel uniform, lol. Yeah, that's exactly how cheaters show off they slept together: wear the shirt that spells out the motel’s name.) Ruan Liu Zheng doesn’t mind the rumours. She knows she’s innocent.
2019. Two months later, Ning Zhi Qian is back! Ruan Liu Zheng is reconnected with him by a mutual associate, Supervisor Wang, who recommends Ruan Liu Zheng to be his student. They can’t escape this mentor/mentee fate. Ruan Liu Zheng is shocked and he’s masking his smile with his chewing xD. So very reluctantly, he accepts, hehe. Then Supervisor Wang urges them to add each other on WeChat. LOL. She’s eating her own words, and he’s loving it. Who told her to delete him and refuse to add him again. Look who needs to grovel now. She offers to add him first, and he takes his sweet time to wipe his mouth and clean his hands before finally accepting her request. He texts her, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t add [me]” (hahaha) and “Remember to take back your pjs” (which she left at his room back in Africa).
Supervisor Wang drives Ning Zhi Qian home, but he’s asleep and she’s unsure which condominium it is. Ruan Liu Zheng remembers. Could he be pretending to be asleep? Then when he unzips his suitcase, Ruan Liu Zheng goes wide-eyed. He can’t be returning her pjs in front of Supervisor Wang! No, he’s just giving a present to Supervisor Wang. Ruan Liu Zheng doesn’t take any risks and zips back his suitcase immediately. The night is finally over, and then he texts her about her pjs in his suitcase, lol.
Ding Yi Yuan is the other mentee transferred to neurology. She straight up asks Ning Zhi Qian why he accepted Ruan Liu Zheng instead of her when she has the better specs. You guys didn’t have a marriage passport/certificate together, duh.
[Ep4] 2019. Ning Zhi Qian tells Ruan Liu Zheng not to order him sweet and sour food for lunch. She should know his taste. She’s offended because she never gave him food. He cuts her off, “Next time, notice.” Does this mean he wants her to bring him lunch? I also really like how they’re dynamic completely shifts now that they’re off work. I love her no bs attitude – not that he’s the type of guy who bs’s a lot. But he does want to talk to her. And she does not. But hold up! Ning Zhi Qian has a son! Six years old! And their divorce was six years ago. Did he pull the baby out of his butt? Oh! Could it be the baby his mother delivered from Africa before she died?
2012. Ruan Liu Zheng (23yo) and Ning Zhi Qian (27yo) plan to marry! What happened? How did we jump from confession to marriage? Does he love her?? Already??? It seems I’m not alone and just about everyone is concerned whether Ning Zhi Qian actually loves Ruan Liu Zheng (e.g. the boutique staff who thinks Ning Zhi Qian loved his previous fiancée more, Dong Miao Miao who thinks Ruan Liu Zheng should cherish herself more, and Ning Zhi Qian’s friend (a lawyer specializing in divorce). The two getting married have no doubt. Ning Zhi Qian believes love can be nurtured. Meanwhile Ruan Liu Zheng is optimistic that she can influence him to fall in love with her. She even rejects her acceptance at John University. !!!!!
2019. Ruan Liu Zheng can finally assess patients with Ning Zhi Qian. He advises her to take her washroom break now or she can consider briefs. It was genuine advice. Her bladder almost broke.
2019. Ruan Liu Zheng cries in the stairwell, thinking that she messed up the surgery. Ning Zhi Qian hovers at the door awkwardly, but lets her overcome this obstacle on her own. I think that’s the right call. Ruan Liu Zheng is tougher than she looks (especially now), which Ning Zhi Qian knows. She picked the stairwells to cry alone and not for comfort. Just because she’s a girl doesn’t mean she needs special treatment either.
Cheng Zhou Yu (neurosurgeon; Dr. Ning’s friend) steals Ding Yi Yuan’s parking spot. That was low. Anyone without a temper would be enraged with that move, let alone Ding Yi Yuan. Ding Yu Yuan gets revenge by (accidentally) smearing urine on him. Why would Ding Yi Yuan touch the urine drainage bag without gloves?!!? And then leaving the room with the germs on her hands? There’s a sink in the room. There’s hand sanitizer on the wall! Do basic hand cleaning before leaving and spreading whatever possible germs that patient has! These two might just deserve each other.
2012. Even the honeymoon is last minute and even then it’s cancelled at the last second. Ruan Liu Zheng still!!! isn’t angry and tells the driver to head to hospital immediately.
[Ep6] 2012. Ning Zhi Qian is an expert with ramen because that’s all he ate as a child. His mother was always busy at work and his father is 神龍見首不見尾 (a dragon; his head can be seen but not his tail), an elusive existence. (And this is why Ruan Liu Zheng makes him lunch every day.)
2019. Ning Zhi Qian asks Ruan Liu Zheng to pick up his son, Ning Xiang. After confirming that she’s been in Africa, the kiddo asserts that she’s his mother. He even shows her the wedding picture that Ning Zhi Qian kept. And this further confirms Ning Xiang is the baby boy Mother Ning delivered. At least, I think so.
2012. Ning Zhi Qian doesn’t have the appetite to finish Ruan Liu Zheng’s meal that’s made with love. He asks his married buddy for advice, “If I don’t eat this [lunch], does this mean the marriage cannot last?” Basically...? LOL. His friend’s advice is to endure everything he doesn’t love. That is marriage. Hahaha. Communicate guys, communicate. And to keep up the marriage, he throws away her food. Ruan Liu Zheng saw that. Oof. But she holds nothing against him. Of course he can be sick of her food, she used to be like that with her mother’s lunch too. And then she washes his bento while trying her best to hold back her tears. He solemnly stands behind her and then walks away. Dude! Turn off the tap, turn her around, and hug her! Tell her you’re sorry for throwing it away and tell her why!
2019. Ruan Liu Zheng learns that Ning Zhi Qian adopted Ning Xiang. He was abandoned at the hospital with a brain tumour. Wait, does Ning Zhi Qian have the requirements to adopt?
Cheng Zhou Yu makes fun of Ding Yi Yuan. He jokes that her father must love his work because even her name sounds like Hospital (Yi Yuan). Being the director, her father can keep her from “eating bitterness” (= tough work) but he can’t keep her from “eating vinegar” (= jealousy). To rub it in some more, he hands her vinegar. This is why he’s single. Haha. But I like him for keeping her away from our couple. When she loses her appetite and leaves, he gladly takes her leftovers. I feel like that’s a metaphor. He’s taking the leftover girl in our main couple’s relationship.
[Ep8] 2019. They somehow rigged the competition and got a trophy for scoring last place on everything. I guess that's an applaudable effort on its own. During the speech, Ruan Liu Zheng announces that she’s Ning Xiang’s mother. Then kiddo wants a kiss for the camera...and timely drops his medal. (I love our CP's smile! It’s so natural and the expected reaction between two people who care for each other. And then they smack the kiddo, lol. (Good boy!) The problem is what will Ruan Liu Zheng do with Ning Xiang? Be his mother forever? That’s what Ning Zhi Qian would want (:
Ning Zhi Qian gives up his opportunity abroad (also Join University) for Ruan Liu Zheng who’s pregnant, but she’s not! She feels bad, but smiles that it must be because he misses her. Eeeee....It doesn’t look like that... Ruan Liu Zheng also gave up her abroad opportunity for this marriage and so she naturally assumes he loves her a lot to do the same for her. But he looks like he’s regretting... D:
2019. Ruan Liu Zheng is jealous ~ She thinks Ning Zhi Qian went on a date, but she’ll help him out and babysit Ning Xiang. She gets her clothes dirty and washes it at his place. Quite timely, Ning Zhi Qian returns to see her dressed slightly sensually. He’s a little bothered and throws his shirt at her face, lol. I like that his gruffness is consistent.
[Ep9] 2019. Ruan Liu Zheng is so jealous of Ning Zhi Qian going on a date, it’s all over her face, lol. Girl, don’t be so easy again!!! She uses Ning Xiang as her excuse. She’s like How am I supposed to explain to my future date that I have a child? Why do you have to explain a child who's not yours?! xD He’s getting a kick from her going on a date like it’s impossible. Girl is gorgeous! Of course she can go on a date. You’re going to regret, sir. He volunteers to explain to her date. She says that’s not the point. I don’t even know what the point is, lol.
2012. Ning Zhi Qian leaves Ruan Liu Zheng in the middle of the night with his suitcase! Oh, but she knew where he’s going (John University for his PhD), she just wasn’t expecting him to leave without a sound. Ten months later, she’s hospitalized (appendicitis, I think). She endures it all on her own without telling him, meanwhile he’s trying his best to finish his thesis as fast as he can.
2019. Ruan Liu Zheng wakes up in her ex-husband’s bed (which was her bed six years ago, and still is her bed now). He slept on the sofa though.
2013. Ruan Liu Zheng visits Ning Zhi Qian in the States, and for the first time he sees his dazzling smile. She didn’t know he could smile like that. He was always tired around her. She throws away the bouquet and takes the taxi back to the airport. All the memories of him neglecting her flood in. Of all things, I didn’t think a smile could be so heartbreaking and be her breaking point. I feel for her.
2019. Some “kids” these days....
2013. Ruan Liu Zheng wants a divorce. Her ring looks so loose on her hand. She lost so much weight.
[Ep10] 2019. A patient’s family member – so sordid and degrading to my eyes – gets physical with Ruan Liu Zheng when it was them who abandoned their mother (the patient) in the stairwell. Ding Yi Yuan protects her. Aw! And it was a cat fight! Hahaha. The fight isn’t shown, but it seems that Ning Zhi Qian stepped in and then the girls fought to protect him. Ning Zhi Qian only lectures Ruan Liu Zheng (because he only cares about her). Ding Yi Yuan is jealous, but the girls' friendship is established and the competition for Ning Zhi Qian is still on.
Ruan Liu Zheng brings Ning Xiang and Ning Zhi Qian back home to her parents. Huh? What happened? Why? Ning Zhi Qian notices that Dad Ruan still uses the thermos that he gifted him. Awww. He sits down and basks in the feeling of home sweet home: there's Ning Xiang playing with Dad Ruan, and Ruan Liu Zheng in the kitchen with Mom Ruan. Aww.
With this scene, I might just be able to understand Ning Zhi Qian a bit better. He was lonely for most of his life. His mother was always busy, his father was…somewhere that wasn’t home. He couldn’t adapt to Ruan Liu Zheng's overflowing love. He definitely liked her, but he didn't love her the way she loves him and that pressured him greatly. Then when he lost her, I think maybe it was then that he realized how much she meant to him. With her (in 2019), he’s more talkative compared to with anyone else.
I don’t think Ning Zhi Qian was solely at fault for the divorce. Man was faithful and hardworking. The man just did not have an appetite and didn’t have the heart to tell her he doesn’t want to eat her food. The worse he did was his inability to return her love the way she loved him. Is that really his fault?
2012/3 Ruan Liu Zheng is a sweetheart but my fellow girls, don’t be like that. She gave up herself to love him. She believed she could change him to love her (more). In that relationship she was lesser than him, and she put herself in that spot. She gave up her acceptance at John University for him without consulting him. She loved herself too little.
2019 Ruan Liu Zheng, I LOVE. She’s independent. She treats herself better. She is now his equal. This relationship (or soon to be relationship) will be much more balanced. And those six years also gave Ning Zhi Qian time to understand love. They’re both better now.
Ruan Lang buys a car for his sister, Ruan Liu Zheng, to drive to work. So sweet. And somehow Ning Zhi Qian still finds a way to get in the same car as her. He says she promised to play with his kid. Their kid, now, lol.
Ning Zhi Qian’s married friend barges in (I keep missing his name, lol. Is he his brother(-in-law)??). Ruan Liu Zheng scrambles to hide herself in Ning Xiang’s room, but the friend just opens the kid’s room, waking him up. Rude, much? Our smart sleepy kid cooperates. Ruan Liu Zheng is safe behind the door.
At the hospital canteen, Ning Zhi Qian approaches Ruan Liu Zheng. Tan Ya (the nurse friend), who is aware these two still have feelings for each other, channels her inner Shakespeare and recites You look far and wide, yet the scenery is the same as before. She shoves Ruan Liu Zheng’s face towards Ning Zhi Qian (= the sane scenery, lol). He’s confused and asks the girls what they’re chatting about. Tan Ya cleverly changes the topic to Ruan Liu Zheng's date on Saturday, her multiple dates. Disgruntled, Ning Zhi Qian makes a fuss about explaining her dates to Ning Xiang. LOL. I thought he volunteered himself to explain to her dates about their son anyway...? These two need to pay a fee every time they use Ning Xiang as their excuse.
Dad Ruan is supportive of Ruan Liu Zheng going on a date and moving on. He thought he was siding with the majority because the mother was saying that first. But now that he said it, everyone’s suddenly upset, everyone being Ruan Lang and Mom Ruan herself. Ha.
[Ep11] Ruan Liu Zheng’s date is Ge Qing. Well sir, why not Ge-tcha self outta here right about now? He says he respects doctors. She says she respects teachers. End of conversation. Pft. And of course she respects teachers, it’s how she addresses Ning Zhi Qian (; She spots Ning Xiang and thinks he’s her saviour from her blind date, but instead of addressing her as his mother like he usually does, the kiddo calls her auntie. Ning Zhi Qian taught Ning Xiang in time. Boo. She’s disappointed too.
Ning Zhi Qian is miffed when Ge Qing addresses Ruan Liu Zheng as “Xiao Zheng” (Little Zheng) and then as his girlfriend. Oh dear. Ge Qing even asks to meet up for a double date with Ning Zhi Qian and his wife. Sir, it’s your date, LOL. I also love how he messes up Ge Qing’s name and annoyingly calls Ruan Liu Zheng “Little Zheng” too. Afterwards at home, Ning Xiang says he has a headache and he wants to puke. Ning Zhi Qian calls the hospital but kiddo knows his diagnosis. It’s the reaction to his mother being stolen!! HAHA. The only cure is for Daddy Ning Zhi Qian to pursue her back. It’s two birds with one stone. A wife and a mother!
Ruan Liu Zheng tells Ge Qing the truth about her divorce and her child (her child?). He ignored her for three days and then he’s back in the hospital to say he doesn’t mind about her past. Ew. Bye. Ruan Liu Zhen begs him to please disdain her. LOL. Ning Zhi Qian saves her from Ge Qing, who cries pitifully that his feelings were scammed. Omg, hahaha.
The real 2ML has arrived! Xue Wei Lin is a handsome successful lawyer. Ning Zhi Qian, you have competition. Even Mother Ruan is supportive. Mother Ruan changes too fast, lol. But he looks pretty perfect to me too, haha. At the same time elsewhere, Ning Xiang is worried for his father because another man can steal Ruan Liu Zheng. Ning Zhi Qian scoffs. He thinks it’s impossible. Hohoho.
[Ep12] 2019. Ruan Liu Zheng takes care of Ning Xiang who’s scared alone at home. He just had a nightmare. When Ning Zhi Qian returns home, he’s distraught. Where’s his son? He quickly phones Ruan Liu Zheng, and it rings in his home. He looks around and finds them sleeping in the little tent. He grins, relieved. Awwwww. He’s so happy, he’s even smiling in his sleep. Dude really isn’t romantic. She’s sleeping on his bed! Touch her hair or something.
Ning Zhi Qian meets Xue Wei Lin! We get a passive-aggressive handshake. Muahaha.
Second CP: Tan Ya’s husband is potentially cheating on her. Ruan Lang (brother) takes care of her for his sister. Here comes our jie-di romance (OWYM).
Third CP: Cheng Zhou Yu, who’s temporarily Ding Yi Yuan’s mentor, teaches her his Three Don'ts in patient care: 1) Don’t take initiative 2) Don’t reject, and 3) Don’t take responsibility. She’s like what kind of dick manual is that. LOL. It’s not bad after listening to his explanation, haha.
The fully recovered patient finally gets a hug from Ning Zhi Qian. He has always yearned for some attention from him. Hmmm. He leaves his plants for the doctors. Ding Yi Yuan takes particular care of Duo Ruo (Lots of Meat). What an appropriate name for a plant. Also, I’m under the assumption that doctors are a bit more careful with plants, especially if they’re working with immunocompromised patients.
It’s Ning Zhi Qian’s birthday. He’s a little smug as he lectures Ruan Liu Zheng for buying him an expensive present. He’s not so smug when he realizes it’s from Ding Yi Yuan and returns it immediately. He’d only accept it from Ruan Liu Zheng even with all the “complaints”. Then the team surprises him with a birthday song. That’s Cheng Zhou Yu’s voice singing, “Happy birthday to YOH”.
Ning Zhi Qian finds an excuse to get in Ruan Liu Zheng’s car and finds another excuse (a la Ning Xiang) to get her in his home for his birthday. To both of their surprise, Grandpa Ning is home. Ah, the dragon father. Ning Zhi Qian loses all appetite.
[Ep14] During a truth and dare game, Ning Xiang asks Ruan Liu Zheng if she still loves his father. Memories of all the times she was hurt swell up. She answers that she doesn’t dare to love him. Afraid to be hurt again.
Ding Yi Yuan announces to everyone that she’s over Ning Zhi Qian. Cheng Zhou Yu thinks he has hope! Since when did he like her? Bullying her all this time meant that he liked her? I totally missed that, lol. The next morning, he’s jealous that another doctor gave her breakfast and so he dumps it in the trashcan (because it’s unhealthy McD) and gives her his. Sternly, she orders him to pick up her hashbrown from the trash. It’s not that she’ll eat it, she wants him to eat it. Lol!
Ning Xiang’s bio mother could be the daughter of the grandmother! This sentence looks dumb (because I don’t know names), but if you watch the drama, you’ll know.
Ning Zhi Qian and Xue Wei Lin are both invited to Ruan Liu Zheng’s for dinner. Mom Ruan laughs with Ruan Liu Zheng about the boys: Xue Wei Lin can keep up a poker face but Ning Zhi Qian is so awkward, he’s dying to use his toes to dig out another bedroom and living room to hide in if he could. Ruan Liu Zheng is basking in Ning Zhi Qian’s jealousy.
[Ep15] In Ruan Liu Zheng’s room, Ning Zhi Qian finds a dinosaur stuffie with his name sewn on it. She says it’s for hugging punching, but then hugs it. Girl, you’re giving him an edge. Don’t do that! They’re editing their research paper in her room, but soon, she falls asleep. Before he leaves her room, he stealthily slips the dinosaur between her arms so it’s like he’s hugging her to sleep.
Ning Zhi Qian and Ruan Liu Zheng take the plane to present their research findings. He asks her why she chose neurology when it’s so tough.
Ruan Liu Zheng: What you can do, I can too.Ning Zhi Qian: You don’t have to turn yourself into me.Ruan Liu Zheng: I don’t want to turn into you – she looks him in the eye – I want to surpass you. GO GIRL. He’s proud too.
Ning Zhi Qian offers to buy Ruan Liu Zheng clothes. She excitedly shops around, but he chooses the fugliest style and frumpiest size for her.
Ruan Liu Zheng (grumbles): Is it because a certain someone thinks I’m too beautiful and so he doesn’t want others to see it?Ning Zhi Qian: [Precisely] I don’t want them to see your beauty.Her heart flutters ~Ning Zhi Qian: I want them to see your professionalism.
Now he takes her to a salon. He’s paying. She’s excited again. I’m not sure about this...lol. And then she's in a boring bun with thick rimmed glasses.
Ruan Liu Zheng is jealous when she sees Ning Zhi Qian handing a bouquet to another girl and when that same girl exits from Ning Zhi Qian’s hotel room. Later on, Ruan Liu Zhen enters his room to look for him too. How come the hotel rooms don’t lock?? He just came out of the shower, and is feeling nauseated from the alcohol. Ruan Liu Zheng rubs his tummy. He pulls her down so she’s rubbing the right spot. Love this!
 |
| Tell me these two aren’t in love |
Gradually, Ning Zhi Qian feels better. Het burns around and smiles, relieved. “FRRRRT” He farts. LOL. BOYS. No wonder the relieved smile. One of the brightest smiles I’ve seen from him in the entire drama, hahaha. She smacks him, annoyed like a wife would be. These two were definitely married, lol. Then she also tucks him in and gazes at him lovingly. Ning Zhi Qian could have asked her to stay, but he doesn’t. I think he’s already extremely grateful.
The next morning, Ruan Liu Zheng is jealous again thanks to the same girl, but she also learns that Ning Zhi Qian drank so much because he was introducing her (Ruan) to all the elites in the profession.
Ruan Lan and Tan Ya catch her husband cheating on her.
[Ep16] Tan Ya isn’t ready to commit to a divorce. Understandable. Ruan Liu Zheng is supportive either way.
Ruan Liu Zheng’s first patient is a famous game developer. Ding Yi Yuan rubs it in. “Dr. Ning is letting you open the brain of a genius. China’s future gaming world is in your hands. [...] Your hand mustn’t shake.” Haha. Effectively rattled, Ruan Liu Zheng asks Ning Zhi Qian to give this surgery to Ding Yi Yuan. Ning Zhi Qian is angered. Her patient’s identity shouldn’t matter to a surgeon. He thought she matured over the years, but she’s no different from the past. She’s still weak and cowardly. Ruan Liu Zheng argues that she is being responsible by wanting the best for her patient. No. Being responsible is preparing for the surgery, not running away. I’m on his side. However, the surgery is stripped from her. The patient’s mother wants Ning Zhi Qian instead. Nonetheless, Ruan Liu Zheng’s patient care continues. I think it’s more on nurses than doctors for his gaming indulgence. But if the patient doesn’t listen while knowing the consequences, then it’s not on the nurses either....
Xue Wei Lin is aggressive in his pursuit for Ruan Liu Zheng’s love. And is Ruan Liu Zheng just letting him have his way?
[Ep17] Ruan Liu Zheng is going on a “date” with Xue Wei Lin. The way Ning Zhi Qian copies Ruan Liu Zheng applying makeup. HAHAHAHA.
And she holds his stare with her clear and translucent eyes. Then she tilts her head, and a strand of hair gracefully tumbles down. Her gaze is alluring and she knows it.
Spinning on her wheel-y chair, she teases him if he fell in love with her when he asked about remarriage. She’s so confident! LOVE THIS. He grumbles and asks her to stop spinning. Like his heart and head isn’t spinning from love and jealousy enough. He says she wasn’t 臭美 (chou mei; to show off one’s beauty shamelessly) like this in the past. She keeps spinning, and radiating. In a cute tone, she taunts him, “It’s not too late for me to show off my beauty now~”
Ruan Liu Zheng (slides her wheely chair towards him): Hey, do you really love me right now? Answer me.Ning Zhi Qian licks his lips. He’s about to say it!Ruan Liu Zheng (peeks at his video game): You’re dead. You lost your chance.
Ruan Liu Zheng slips away and flips her hair, sashaying out of his vision. Ning Zhi Qian finally uses his massager at the right place: his heart, hahaha.
Saved by the alarm! Actually that’s a code blue. There’s a dying life that needs saving and so Ruan Liu Zheng stays to help Ning Zhi Qian.
Ning Xiang is kidnapped by his bio mother! She is the grandma-patient’s daughter. Ning Zhi Qian takes him back, but it looks like Ning Xiang is going. He tells Ning Zhi Qiang a story of a cat, who’s all grown up, and wants to be like his mother to catch mice too. I teared up. Ning Zhi Qian is losing Ning Xiang.
Ning Zhi Qian gets a fever (after bio mom asks for her son). He also broke his arm, saving another mother and child from being hit by a car. This guy. He’s done so much saving T___T. Ruan Liu Zheng takes care of him, as well as assuring Ning Xiang that his father will be fine. But he’s still worried. When he leaves, who will take care of his daddy? T_____T. He’s leaving.
[Ep18] For the night, Ruan Liu Zheng takes care of a feverish Ning Zhi Qian, who’s clutching her hand in his sleep. In the morning, they’re like a family of three, eating, laughing, and joking around.
Later, Ruan Liu Zheng even helps Ning Zhi Qian with his tie like she’s his wife.
Ning Zhi Qian (asks softly): Why did we divorce? O. Does he not know?
Speaking of Ning Xian, he really is leaving! WAH T_T. The Bio Mom is subpar to Ning Zhi Qian, but she says she can give her son something that he cannot: a mother’s love. Overrated. Sorry, you know what, maybe not. Every family is different. I’m just upset seeing her. And he can give his son something that she cannot: a father's love. >______> The most important factor is that Ning Xiang wants to go. He always wanted a real mother. He also knows that if he leaves, Ning Zhi Qian will be the same as the past. “He doesn’t even cry so how would he know pain?” Oof. When he cries, it means he’s completely broken. Ning Zhi Qian overhears and finally agrees to let him return to his mother.
Ning Zhi Qian doesn’t send Ning Xiang off and so our kiddo runs back up to find him. He misses his father already. Stay!! T_T They hug, but later he carries him to his mother. Ning Xiang won’t let go until his mother pulls his hands away.
Ruan Liu Zheng completes her first surgery on her own. Everyone praises her except Ning Zhi Qian. After work, he phones her, knowing that she has been waiting for his call, waiting for his praise. But he says that he won’t praise her. A perfect surgery is nothing to be arrogant of. It is the standard because every imperfection is someone’s (quality of) life. When surgery talk is over, he asks for her plans tonight but she doesn’t hear it because Xue Wei Lin is here to take her for food. It turns out Ning Zhi Qian wanted to invite her to dinner too. You could have started the phone call with that FIRST. He cancels the reservation, which now goes to Xue Wei Lin who brought Ruan Liu Zheng to the same restaurant because she likes it here. He said he tried to make a reservation earlier but it was full. So Ning Zhi Qian booked really early.
Meanwhile, Ning Zhi Qian is sick and having ramen all alone. He has a cold, a broken arm, a broken heart, and a broken family (all his life). This man.
[Ep19] Ning Xiang’s text to Ruan Liu Zheng saves his father from a night alone. She goes to him, and it was Xue Wei Lin who dropped her off. He tried his best to smile through it (but he hated it). After a while he calls her to check on her, which irritates Ning Zh Qian to no end. Now his symptoms are headache and retching. It’s the same as Ning Xiang. LOL. His symptoms are induced by three words: Xue Wei Lin. She smiles, reclines on the couch and crosses her long slender legs. I don’t know how they’re siting there with so little clothes on and being so normal. He asks her if he can’t tell that he’s jealous or she’s pretending. Girl wants to HEAR it.
Ning Zhi Qian (bellows): I’m eating vinegar (=jealous) can’t you tell? The sourness is practically killing me! LOL. He’s so funny.
She jokes if it tastes like a certain type of vinegar. He laughs “ha-ha”. Not funny. He surrenders. He admits that he likes her. Now he asks her, as if cross-questioning her, “Do you dare admit that you like me too.” Ruan Liu Zheng doesn’t know. Well, Ning Zhi Qian stands up and says he has a way to verify. He kisses her! The way she goes “AIYAH” LOL. She accidentally hits him, and worriedly checks his head. He’s smug now. “And you still say you don’t like me” He pulls her in for another kiss. She squeals. See he couldn’t resist how little clothes they had on too.
Tan Ya is settled on a divorce. Her husband is cheating again.
After work, Ning Zhi Qian picks up Ruan Liu Zheng from her home because they’re staying at his home. Our childish Ning Zhi Qian salutes to Xue Wei Lin, a gesture of domination. Our top brain surgeon has beat the top lawyer. He even smugly ushers him inside because our lawyer has no food at home obviously.
I wasn’t expecting such a quick reconciliation!!
Ruan Liu Zheng and Ning Zhi Qian grocery shop together. When she pouts at her booboo, our unromantic Ning Zhi Qian lectures her surgical skills. When she wants spicy fish for the night, he dismisses her. But he notices she’s upset and so he tells her that spicy isn’t good wound-healing. He’ll steam the fish. Ruan Liu Zheng smiles. He has his “good” reasons to change all her decisions, but if this happens all the time, it can seriously be annoying.
Ning Zhi Qian’s bro is getting married and our MLs are always #6 in the brotherhood. During the wedding reception, Ning Zhi Qian is unapologetically rude to Father Ning and his wife, Auntie Liu. I feel bad for Auntie Liu who’s putting in the effort and chugging down the wine for her husband.
[Ep20] Ning Zhi Qian holds a grudge on his father for never fighting over his custody. To him, his father never loved him.
Wu Xiao Fan (the male doctor) caught Ruan Liu Zheng feeding Ning Zhi Qian – or not. He’s either blind or he’s blind.
Ning Zhi Qian publicly apologizes to Ding Yi Yuan for misunderstanding her. She rushed her surgery to optimize her patient’s recovery. It had nothing to do with arrogance. She’s touched and asks for a hug. I like that Ning Zhi Qian peeks at Ruan Liu Zheng who nods and then he goes for the hug.
And so Ning Zhi Qian proposes! Tan Ya is in on it and drags everyone along. Everyone’s confused why they have to remain seated when the movie is over and cannot be more over. Then the proposal PPT appears. His voice surrounds the room. He says the six years without her, his sky had no colours. Life was just breathing. It’s really Peng Guan Ying and Wang Chu Ran’s kid pictures. Peng Guan Ying was so chubby! Ruan Liu Zheng is in tears. She exits the theatre in hopes of looking for him, but from somewhere close, his voice calls to her, “Liu Zheng.”
Such a formulaic proposal. But hey I think there’s some sincerity. He asked her to (re)marry at the rooftop which is his favourite spot in the entire hospital. And he chose blue balloons to symbolize there’s colour in his sky again.
Am I grasping at straws here? xD
The magic wears off the next day. In the morning, he yells at everyone congratulating them on their engagement.
And uh oh, he’s not liking her food again...
Double uh oh, he doesn’t care about wedding prep. Ruan Liu Zheng is on her own again. This guy doesn’t think it’s necessary. He kept their old wedding pictures and ring in good condition. He’s pretty proud about that.
Oh, triple uh oh, Ruan Liu Zheng learns he bought the proposal. Nothing was original. The foreshadow from Xiao Er: so why did Ning Zhi Qian divorce? Because he didn’t propose well... Ruan Liu Zheng thought she could change him, but people don't change. This is why Dong Miao Miao dumped him. I’m in the camp that it’s wrong to think you can change someone to begin with. I’m sure Show agrees with this so I’m quite intrigued how this will be resolved. Ruan Liu Zheng wants to know if he loves her, which annoys him because he does love her. Well, she wants him to show it, show it that he needs her. She wants a marriage where they’re equals. Six years ago, it wasn’t, and six years now, it still isn’t.
Although Ruan Liu Zheng left angrily, she intended to register the marriage. But she was feverish and overslept. Ning Zhi Qian didn’t know. The way he yelled at her on the street made her realize she’s had enough. She wants to break up. Xue Wei Lin happens to be in the neighbourhood and overhears it all. Dude just hangs around the neighbourhood during the day all suited up?
Ning Zhi Qian learns about Ruan Liu Zheng’s fever from his father. It’s too late. But it doesn’t seem like it’s too late to ask his father why he divorced his mother/wife and if he ever loved her.
[Ep22] Father Ning describes it was love at first sight with Mother Ning, but after they married it felt like he had no wife. She was either at work or she was sleeping at home. It’s no different from marrying a statue. Although he respects her job and how she devotes her heart to her patients, he didn’t know if her heart had him. Mother Ning had asked for a remarriage, but Father Ning said it was because she wanted to give Ning Zhi Qian a family (which means it wasn’t for love). Father Ning was just a regular guy. He needed someone to care for him too (a la Auntie Liu who was his secretary). Ning Zhi Qian asks his father, “Doesn’t a good doctor deserve a happy family?” YES! In hindsight, Ning Xiang left Ning Zhi Qian for the same reason. He thought his father would be the same with or without him.
Ruan Liu Zheng knows that Ning Zhi Qian has already changed a lot for her. In the past, he would never propose like that. But it was the way he argued with her – that tone – she couldn’t stand it. She's also afraid of repeating the same mistakes.
Tan Ya’s husband wants a second chance. He’s faking it. He just wants the house.
The neuro team goes on a recruit. If they’re all here. Who’s at the hospital? Xue Wei Lin joins them. Ugh. I think our couple needs to sort this out on their own. I don’t need more jealousy. Ning Zhi Qian misses the chance to give Ruan Liu Zheng her favourite “First Love” cake, and then it's accidentally gobbled down by Dr. Qian. At least Ruan Liu Zheng realizes the cake was meant for her and it was from Ning Zhi Qian. She thinks it’s a pity too.
[Ep23] Tan Ya’s cheating husband is served karma. Him and his mistress are in a critical condition after a car accident, and the daughter he ditched at home is fortunately recovering from her fever.
Ning Zhi Qian and Ruan Liu Zheng are on the rooftop. This time they break up for real. He does love her, though. He doesn’t know when he fell in love. It could be when they divorced. It could be when they reunited in Africa. He just knows his feelings towards her are not the same as they were six years ago. However, he has too many flaws. He always blamed his father for his parents’ divorce, but now he realizes his mother wasn’t perfect either. He sees himself in his mother. What family would want a statue at home? His body may be at home, but his heart and mind is at the hospital. Ruan Liu Zheng was right about him. He is like a robot. And this robot is broken right now. He needs to heal himself first. Until then he doesn’t think he deserves a family.
Ruan Liu Zheng agrees to the breakup. There’s a saying that a shattered mirror is hard to fix (破鏡難圓). I think the saying is 破鏡重圓 – a shattered mirror is put back together. It’s a positive idiom meaning a separated couple is reconciling. Ning Zhi Qian assures her that he will teach her everything he knows so that she can be a great doctor. She stretches her hand out for a handshake, but he lightly smacks it. This guy never wants to give her a handshake. Why? Is it like a goodbye to him? Before she leaves, she tells him that she actually wanted to try once more. Ouch. The regret. But I think this separation is for the best. I’m glad he initiated the breakup. I’m glad the change is from within: his understanding of his parent’s divorce.
At home, Ning Zhi Qian phones Ruan Liu Zheng to tell her that her pjs are still at his place. It’s still about the pjs, but this time, the tone is drastically different. She coolly tells him to deliver it to her or she can pick it up later. They hang up. There’s nothing to hang on. To him this breakup hurt more than the first one. Xiao Er rubs it into Ning Zhi Qian for letting her go, but Ning Zhi Qian says he can’t let her fall in the same hole twice. Xiao Er agrees. “So why let her fall in the same hole twice? Just hold onto her!” Ning Zhi Qian replies that their relationship is like a broken mirror. He wonders if the pain in the heart can never be smoothed out.
Ruan Liu Zheng shows up at work with a cap on. I wonder if this whole time she was dressing up this whole time to impress Ning Zhi Qian...
[Ep24] Ding Yi Yuan and Cheng Zhou Yu are officially together.
Xiao Yu (the ballerina male patient). At first I thought I was reading too much and we’d be done with his story, but he’s back and the gay vibes are stronger. I feel like he’s got more scenes coming up. I hope he stays alive eh....
Ning Xiang has converted!!! He’s chilling with Xue Wei Lin now.. On behalf of Ning Zhi Qian, I feel betrayed.
Ruan Liu Zheng recognizes that a patient requires emergency surgery but Dr. Qian refuses to permit the operation because of the high risks (is that right? I guess he’s not dying enough for them to perform life saving measures?). Dr. Qian needs family consent first. However, the longer they wait, the less hope there is for the patient. Ning Zhi Qian agrees with Ruan Liu Zheng, but he isn’t at the hospital to perform the complicated two-part surgery. Our confident Ruan Liu Zheng takes on the challenge. She successfully operates the first part, handing the patient safety to Ning Zhi Qian who will take care of the rest. Our A team.
[Ep25] Oh. We can’t forget even if we want to about Xue Wei Lin’s credit in helping the patient. He stayed on site to search for the family. Even Ding Yi Yuan recognizes that he’s not a bad choice. I like how friendly the girls are right now. Forget about the men, lol.
 |
| These two can do a spy movie together. |
Ning Xiang understands the relationship like this: “Mama doesn’t want baba, but she still wants me, right?” Right. Hahaha. Then he tells Ning Zhi Qian that he likes Xue Wei Lin. They’re like bros. Double blow. Just when Ning Zhi Qian thought his son betrayed him, Ning Xiang says, “If he’s my bro, then he can’t be with mama.” So smart! LOL. He’s also excellent at flattery, complimenting his father for being strong and handsome. (He was trying to get his father to agree to a hangout between him, mama, and Xue Wei Lin. It was a no go, lol.)
Ruan Liu Zheng and Ning Zhi Qian have the night shift. When it’s time for dinner Ning Zhi Qian orders skewers, but Xue Wei Lin is here first with homemade food from his mother and so Ning Zhi Qian eats two portions of skewers all on his own. Ning Zhi Qian even burps nasty, lol. And now he’s having indigestion. It’s bad enough that Ruan Liu Zheng has to force him to go to the emergency. She also lectures him for eating spicy and oily food. He clearly ordered it for her. But I think a regular person would ask first and then order.
Ning Zhi Qian has neurogenic gastritis. Being angry Ning Zhi Qian can worsen his symptoms. How to cure you when you’re the disease? Ruan Liu Zheng drives him home. He asks if she wants to go up because she left something (pjs) at his place. Are we doing this again? When she enters, she notices he kept Xiao Yu’s wedding present: the miniature sculpture of them as a couple.
[Ep26] Ning Zhi Qian doesn’t send Ruan Liu Zheng out. At night, he’s sleeping in fetal position because of the pain in his heart.
Auntie Liu has a brain tumour. She doesn’t want to bother Ning Zhi Qian even if he’s the best surgeon or the only surgeon who can possibly save her. Dad Ning assures her she owes Ning Zhi Qian nothing. For him, she didn’t even have her own child. O. Noooo.
Father Ning begs Ning Zhi Qian to help Auntie Liu. He refuses. NING ZHI QIAN. I thought you told Ruan Liu Zheng a patient’s identity doesn’t matter! But later, he’s drinking coke. Is that his way of running away from stress? And then we learn why Ning Zhi Qian can’t do the surgery. The trauma that his father left him still lives in his heart. He had ran after his father when he packed his suitcase but his father never turned around to look at him. His father never knew how much his mother loved him. Then he even got lost trying to find him. Half a year later, Father Ning married Auntie Liu, and that was the first time Ning Zhi Qian saw his mother cry in front of him. Ning Zhi Qian cannot forget the heartache. He cannot bring these emotions to the surgery table. I forgot he was human too...
Ruan Liu Zheng gives Ning Zhi Qian a video of his mother’s speech and we see how she devoted her life to her profession.
Ruan Liu Zheng: I think there’s a need so there’s a need. I don’t need what you think.
Then she asks who’s driving back to their hospital. He’s like Since you asked, of course you want me to drive. She says he must be tired from the surgery so it’s inappropriate. Yeah, he read her right. She wants a ride.
Ning Zhi Qian: I said it’s appropriate then it’s appropriate. I don’t need what you think. Since this show mentioned it twice, I shall mention that this is an (in)famous catchphrase made popular by Huang Xiao Ming on a variety show Chinese Restaurant (Season 3). He was blowing a fuse at everyone and said “I don’t need what you think, I need what I think.” He got roasted for that and now it’s become a joke, which he also joins in on. He’ll never say “I’ll need what I think”. Instead he’ll be like “What do you think? We’ll do what you think.”.
Ning Zhi Qian secretly takes a photo of the sleeping Ruan Liu Zheng. She’s awake now and asks if his father chose remarriage, if he would be happy. No. Ning Zhi Qian recognizes that from his father’s perspective, he chose the right choice for himself. Falling in love was easy, but maintaining the relationship was hard for them. Ruan Liu Zhen now understands why Ning Zhi Qian also rejected remarriage. No.....girl, that’s not why....
Father Ning tells Ning Zhi Qian that he knew he was running after him. It’s not that he didn’t want to turn around. He didn’t dare to turn around. Oof.
Tan Ya’s husband. Barf.
A criminal has Ding Yi Yuan at knifepoint. Cheng Zhou Yu runs forward to save her, followed by Ruan Liu Zheng. When Xue Wei Lin sees her in danger (YA, he’s here too.), he pins down the criminal along with the police. He suffers a penetrating abdomen trauma. A knife wound.
[Ep28] Ning Zhi Qian is jealous of Ruan Liu Zheng tending to Xue Wei Lin. We’re using that old style thermometer between the armpits... Show, you’re working hard to make Ning jealous. Even Xue Wei Lin’s family is praising his son for protecting Ruan Liu Zheng. Our Ning Zhi Qian, who’s sick with jealousy, tends to Xue Wei Lin himself, loooool. At least Xue Wei Lin is consistent. His neediness doesn’t discriminate between the girl he loves and the man who he hates. He’s just more annoying with Ning Zhi Qian, haha. He asks Ning Zhi Qian if he isn’t busy. The whole universe is asking the same question of you, Mr. Lawyer!! Then he tells Ning Zhi Qian that if he doesn’t plan to pursue Ruan Liu Zheng, to pull aside and clear the path. That’s true. Ning Zhi Qian, what are you doing?
But then Xue Wei Lin asks Ruan Liu Zheng how she would thank him if his assistance is successful!! Was he a team with Ning Xian all along?!?! He can sense it that the volcano is about to erupt. (He’s right. Ning Zhi Qian is keen on pursuing Ruan Liu Zheng.)
Xue Wei Lin will get a girl of his own! She’s Dr. Ai Fei.
Xue Wei Lin will get a girl of his own! She’s Dr. Ai Fei.
Ning Zhi Qian romantically transforms the doctor’s lounge. He has candles, coffee, and cake prepared for everyone, particularly Ruan Liu Zheng. She laughs.
Ning Zhi Qian is accused of accepting bribery. It was Ruan Lang who accepted the money to pay for Tan Ya’s rent. Ning Zhi Qian wants to take the fall or else Ruan Liu Zheng will be in trouble. Ruan Lang is her brother. She can be charged.
What’s with the bidong at the end between Ruan Lan and Ning Zhi Qian xD.
[Ep29] Ning Zhi Qian quits Beiya Hospital. Raan Lang feels guilty, but Ning Zhi Qian says he understands his feelings for Tan Ya. Love is getting to his head too. So he put Ruan Liu Zheng ahead of his career for the first time.
Xue Wei Lin thinks Ning Zhi Qian is irrational, which isn’t like him. Dudes know dudes best. And hey, he’s our top lawyer! He can help with the accusation. Show, can we actually use him for what he is?! He says he will beat up Ning Zhi Qian for Ruan Liu Zheng. He really does. They wrestle in the boxing ring. When Ruan Liu Zheng is here, Ning Zhi Qian gibes to Xue Wei Lin, Oh look, your mama’s here. Lol. Oh boys. But he’s making it clear that the relationship between Ruan and Xue is that of mother and son.
Ruan Liu Zheng discovers why Ning Zhi Qian resigned: for her. If he’s making up to her, she doesn’t need it, but if he’s pursuing her, she’ll consider it. He annoyingly answers that for her, he doesn’t need his career and future. Like a teenager, Ruan Liu Zheng smiles. Ning Zhi Qian grumbles. Doesn’t that sound fake and immature? Lol. He sounds so angry whenever he tries to be romantic. Ruan Liu Zheng mumbles that she only needed to hear his true feelings. Still gruffly, he replies that if they’re together, they can’t both lose their job (= he wants to be together with her). And who says a doctor won’t have a happy family? He recalls the divorce between his parents, but Ruan Liu Zheng shushes him. He wants her to listen though. Nope! She kisses him. And now no one wants to talk. He carries her into the room to kiss some more – and then we’re at a beach. That door must be the secret platform that transports them to the beach. Ruan Liu Zhen wants to know when Ning Zhi Qian started loving her. He doesn’t know exactly when. Like the volume of the sea, it didn’t fill up in one day. And this is why we’re at a beach.
Xue Wei Lin is at Ruan Liu Zheng’s house sweeping her floor. Okay. Where do I make a guy friend like this?!!? My floor wants some sweeping too. Ning Zhi Qian and Xue Wei Lin are clearly fighting but the parents can tell the dudes are friendly.
[Ep30] Ruan Liu Zheng thinks remarriage is just a matter of procedure. Not Ning Zhi Qian! He asks her for a movie date (to propose between the two of them). Isn’t that still the same? xD When Ruan Liu Zheng says she’s cold, he aggressively (lol) pins her to the railings and lectures her for dressing so little and gruffly offers to buy her new clothes. So that’s the perfect answer, lol.. She giggles at him for being uncharacteristic. Then he roughly headlocks wraps her with his jacket. Anything romantic is unromantic with him, lol. Now that he’s back to himself, she likes this more. O RLY?!
Oh, but there is another proposal. This time it’s in front of the entire hospital staff. Ning Zhi Qian's grin is wide. He’s down on one knee. “The ring is new, the person is old (original). Will you marry me one more time? I promise this will be the last time. He puts on the ring for her. This proposal isn’t pretty at all, but at least it’s sincere, lol. More about it in the comments.
Cheng Zhou Yu needs to overcome his insecurity issues.
Father Ruan has terminal liver cancer. Nooooooo.
[Ep31] It’s 2020 and COVID-19 has infected the drama.
Ning Zhi Qian and Ruan Liu Zhen prop after they help Cheng Zhou Yu and Ding Yi Yuan reconcile. It’s immediately followed by hand-sanitizing. Ruan Liu Zheng shoulder-checks him. Then he kicks her. Lol. Their teamwork really is impeccable. They even smell the same (haha) according to Dr. Qian who’s bullied by them even though he’s the director.
Ning Zhi Qian transforms the doctor’s lounge to celebrate Ruan Liu Zheng’s birthday. He even waltzes with her in the lounge. Who are you? What have you done to Ning Zhi Qian?
And of course Xue Wei Lin has time to volunteer for the hospital.
Ning Xiang is hospitalized for brain tumour recurrence! Ok. This episode is too much for my heart. There’s so many ticking bombs. Ning Zhi Qian yells at the mother for failing to recognize the symptoms.
Ruan Liu Zheng finally finds out about her father before it’s actually too late. Phew. I thought he was going to die without seeing his children. But how during COVID lockdown?
[Ep32] Ning Xiang lives! But Ruan Liu Zheng’s father died while she operated on Ning Xiang. Ning Zhi Qian couldn’t do the surgery for his own son. Aw. Ruan Liu Zheng couldn’t be there for her own father. T_T.
COVID-19 is over (?) but Africa is back. Naturally, someone has to be in danger. It’s Ning Zhi Qian. I don’t know where in Africa they are. They keep saying “DaYa” but there’s no English translation for that. They’re in Dahl.
[Ep33] Ning Zhi Qian is fine + a dandy smile.
Cheng Zhou Yu couldn’t complete the surgery as promised and therefore cannot marry Ding Yi Yuan as promised. She cries. “You’re not going to marry (娶) me? Then I will marry (娶) you.” So cute that she uses male version of marry. She says he’ll always be hers.
KIDNAPPING! We have kidnapping. Aigoo. Ning Zhi Qian is hostage in Ruan Liu Zheng's stead.
[Ep34] All hail Chinese doctors. Ning Zhi Qian pacifies the all time evil mafia. He's reforming “DaYa” ◔_◔ But African drama still not over! WHY. (I didn’t notice how funny the email was. Read in comment).
[Ep35] Imprisoned! Ning Zhi Qian is imprisoned. I like that Ruan Liu Zheng wore his oversized watch when they were separated. I also like absolutely nothing else.
GRENADE. Ning Zhi Qian is bombed!
But he’s alive.
COMA, though.
It gets better. Can you believe it. MISSING BODY. Someidoiotone stole his vegetative body and transported it back to China. Mr. Lethal had more logic than this.
[Ep36] Ruan Liu Zheng returns to Africa and Ning Zhi Qian is found. ಠ_ಠ
AMNESIA! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Ning Zhi Qian has amnesia. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Show kept saying it was the family’s decision to keep the truth from her that he was alive. Family?! What family? That you, Father Ning?! You are disowned by me on behalf of Ning Zhi Qian.
Here is what I think Show is trying to tell us: Ning Zhi Qian may have lost his memories, but the changes he made for Ruan Liu Zheng are still there. He smiles all the time and participates in social gatherings. Really, I can’t think of a better way to arrive at this conclusion without Grenade, Kidnapping x2, Coma, and Amnesia.
The end. Thank gawd it’s over.
Does he remember or not?
Do I care?
┻━┻︵ \(°□°)/ ︵ ┻━┻Remarks
[First Impression (Ep1-6)] Curious is me. Why are they divorced when they still care for each other? She fell so hard for him. Why does she want nothing to do with him now? Six years later, they meet again and are mentor and mentee once more. She can no longer avoid him. And they have a _ _ _! Or he has a _ _ _!!! (I don’t want to reveal because I quite like the surprise in Ep4.)
This drama is like a mature version of A Love So Beautiful. She’s devoted to her man. We just have a smarter FL. And a taller FL. This also reminds me of Unforgettable Love with a cute kid as cupid. We just have a higher functioning kid.
[Actors/Actresses] Visuals! Girl is gorgeous. Peng Guan Ying is a fine guy too, but his image is upgraded just because he’s next to her. For the record, I like the guy too even though he gives me chills whenever I’m reminded of him in The Confidence.
Wang Chu Ran isn’t just gorgeous. The role suits her mannerisms. I love the contrast between the past and present Ruan Liu Zheng. From cute and ditzy, she’s now cool and curt.
