Unfaithful To The Novel Details
First of all, to be fair, I'm writing this review and giving rate to this drama as a reader of the novel and Yang Yang's fan. So, this review and rating might be biased.
As the novel's reader, I'm a bit disappoited with the plot because they added too much scenes that unrelated to the main plot. If they did the drama according to the novel faithfully, I don't think it would be 40 episodes. I don't mind some additional plot like Suo Jun or little bit of JiangYu/LiMeng, but honestly the most annoying thing to me is MengYanChen/YeZhi's scenes.
As a shipper of ML/FL couple, naturally I don't like SML. There are too much scenes for MYC, that even though you counted him as the SML, they told stories that don't have anything to do with the main couple. In the novel MYC only like ten scenes with the FL, and here in the drama they give him like a half of the drama. In the novel, YZ was supposed to be a character that appeared like twice, but she appeared in most of MYC's scenes. And that annoyed me. Another thing that annoyed me the most was the scenes when Song Yan's cousin, Zhai Miao, got arrested. In the novel, SY could pay the fine himself and it let him keep his dignity. In the drama, because of MYC's help, it made as if SY owed him something. In the novel, SY was supposed to have the upper hand from the beginning till the end since the Mengs owed him his military career because of their past schemes.
The only good thing that was included in the drama but not in the novel is the scene when SY rescued XQ's mother and the implication after that. Though I wished the mother got more of the "just dessert", but at least she was humbled by the rescue plot.
Plot wise, I don't mind they added some medical or rescue scenes to show off the action scenes. I can't comment much about the firefighters scenes since I don't know how they're supposed to be like. But I think they looked cool and accurate enough. I don't have medical knowledge in real life, but I did watch some medical korean dramas, and I gotta say that this drama is not on par with them. I know that Xu Qin is a surgeon but I don't know what kind of surgeon she is. It seemed she did all kind of surgeries. I know that she worked in emergency department, but I think even other surgeons did all kind of surgeries too. Either they don't differentiate between general surgeries with others or I just don't understand much. I just think that on the medical side, there's plot hole.
Acting wise, I can't say much. For me, Yang Yang did well in portraying Song Yan. And if people said that Xu Qin looked awkward, I think her character was supposed to be awkward, at least in the beginning. She looked okay when acting cute in the later part of the drama.
Soundtrack wise. I like it well enough in the drama. But, it's not memorable to me. Not that easy listening to my ears.
Overall, this is a good drama. Not exactly entertaining, since it's more like the serious type of drama. I like it, but I think it would've been better if it was faithful to the novel plot.
