Great action

This is a great series so far as it starts off with a bang and keeps going with lots of action. It's a good storyline. I've enjoyed it's fast pace. I m not crazy about the FL as she s a bit of a nut and is a bit trying but there are so many other great characters I manage to keep interest. I think she s a good actor but not crazy about her role. Otherwise it's all very good and well done. I like that it doesn't get too heavy on any one character or direction. It keeps me wanting to get to the next episode. The love interests get a bit of too much bickering which isn't cool or sophisticated but it's not a lot. I look forward to seeing more and how it will end. The filming is good, locations, etc.

Not what I was expecting

Good to see parts of stories continued but confusing because the original story from season 1 was changed here in season 2. The original story could've remained unchanged, even though they lost Saint as Pete. The changes are annoying but I'm ignoring them to watch how things turn out for Can & Tin. By episode 3, I'll know if I'm sticking around
Likelihood of rewatching this is already low for me despite the cuteness of Can & handsomeness of Tin. Too many changes *sigh* left me feeling disappointed

First impression(watched the first episode)

Pooh has done a really good job even though its his first series. I felt Pavel and Nut's acting has also improved since 2moon2 and Oxygen respectively. It took me some time to realize it was Pavel. What a transformation of his looks. I just loved it. Talking about the series, there were too many characters so it might take me some time to understand whats going on. But, for sure ill continue watching it since my first impression was pretty good. I'll come back to this review to add in any details that i notice. Else I'll come back at the end to share my overall review and opinion on the series.

Note: this is just my impression of the series and characters. Doesn't impose anything on anyone. What I like, you might not like and viceversa

really annoying (sorry vengo)

edit: i made it 14 episodes in and i can’t do it anymore lol, i sensed myself starting to hate watch the show because i was seething with frustration at the mc. how can an mc be twenty nine whole years old and make such stupid, selfish decisions? i hear that rulu is a good actress so i’m gonna blame the direction for this. i found rulu’s portrayal of xiong dun utterly ingratiating. most of all it was her lying lmao. i know it was supposed to make her seem sympathetic but i felt no sympathy for seeing her actually hurt and endanger people around her. her voice was hard on the ears too?? i know she was supposed to sound cute and outgoing but she sounded like a woman in her mid thirties oncoming forties trying to sound like a baby. idk. gao weiguang i love the man but phew his presence wasn’t enough to save this shit. i really hope i can enjoy rulu jiang in another drama some day because this was really disappointing. not to mention her and viola mi’s styling was really unflattering here. i have no clue what these directors were thinking lmao. maybe i’ll return to finish watching for vengo but he’s the kind of actor that doesn’t carry a show as much as he depends on his costars and seeing as i hate everyone in the main cast that isn’t amy or xiong dun’s parents it’s not happening lol. the supporting stories, subplots, and cast are great though. it makes up for how unwatchable everything else is.

original review:

i think i’m not a big fan of viola mi or rulu jiang… the way they were styled in this drama was unflattering to say the least, and while i liked the character concept of xiong dun, i don’t really like her character? i always find myself more drawn to the characters around her—dr lin, aimi, her parents, the patients she befriends, etc. many ppl have commended rulu’s acting here, so maybe you’ll enjoy it. i personally didn’t, and the way they’ve styled her makes her already hard to watch. viola’s character xia meng has been a lot of shades of dislikable so far too, though i guess that’s on purpose.

gao weiguang is nice as usual. his short hair here makes him seem a little strange?? but you know, he has a nice face. those turtlenecks make him look a lot older and also cozy lol. and i love aimi’s actress and character so much i almost wish she was the main character. aimi and xiong dun are so close they’ve even made jokes about how they would marry each other if one of them were a man. to which i have to say, well why don’t you guys just get together regardless lol, it’s more realistic than being terminally ill and getting with your doctor. that’s another thing. i’m not sure how much of this is completely true seeing as it was based on xiong dun’s real life but it seems fairly disrespectful to sneak in such a weirdly unbalanced romantic plotline. what would the real xiong dun herself think?? it’s so weird!

there are a lot of other things in the show that i enjoy though. sub plots about sketchy doctors, about choosing love over all else including the pressures of work, the selfishness of children who don’t want to care for their parents but also the selflessness that many people are also capable of when seeing their loved ones are sick. it’s very much a touching show when it elaborates on these points. i’m looking forward to more of these side stories as i watch.

Personal opnion on generally the cast and acting:

I dont know how to feel about the new cast or the repeating story line, I honestly thought this was going to be a "season" 2 and not a "version" 2, something like, the extended side story of Knock and Korn from "Together with me" & "together with me chapter 2", though the actors are cute, they aren't as appealing as the original cast but, as I keep watching they do get more attractive.

The acting skills aren't up to par with the original cast, and need alot of brushing up on, there are also alot and I mean ALOT, of unnecessary pauses inbetween dialogues and the "awkward" pauses too are abit dragged out and it seriously gives me second hand awkwardness, and the characters do give off a more "hey this is the first time im acting/ met you" vibe on screen, as if they never ACTUALLY met before they filmed on set, so be aware if little things like this put you off, but all in all,

Actors 8/10

Acting skills 5/10
*mediocre, but I've only seen the first episode, I'll keep hope that they'll get better

Story line 4/10
*because its a repeat/ remake

I will keep watching even if some things dont progress since i really do love "2moons the series", so ill give this a try
Side note* fourth still hot and Kit still cute

Nepotism and unlikeability make this unwatchable for me

I usually am very generous for my dramas, giving at least a good four episode try before passing judgement. However, this, I cannot do. The story is written such that there can be no sympathy for the main girl who is likely the daughter of the director, and thus benefits from all her "serendipitous" events of nepotism, whilst passing critical judgement on her coworkers when she does not know the field, is woefully clumsy and unapologetic when performing a career-ending faux pas disclosing confidential information, and yet slipping by unscathed due to her privilege as she can just slip into daddy's office and benefit from knowing his little secrets. Unless a severe character change is in process (which I highly doubt) , this drama is only serves to sugar coat that nepotism is acceptable for those who suffered (who hasn't?) in their lifetimes or are conventionally cute or whatnot. To echo the other reviewer, the side character stereotypes are disappointing with an exaggerated "metrosexual" agent who has no other personality traits besides materialism and an "ahjumma" agent who is lusting for management. Typical and not appropriate. I had high hopes and was sad to waste more than 3 hours tonight. Yes, 3 hours, as I had to pause multiple times due to how boring this episode was// stopping to rant at my significant other at how trash this show was.

Truly want to complete watching the drama just for Peter Sheng.

The story is interesting. I am a fan of the male lead Peter Sheng and was all set to enjoy a piece of great work. Sadly, the actors were all disjointed as if they did not review their script nor did they understand their character parts. They seem to be in their own micro world and not acting with each other. The directing did not help either. The actors also seem to have mental changes with each screen change. For example, the crown prince at first screen had some noble air in the palace but turned into a jiang-hu thug during the academy screens. In one scene as he runs for his life, he bends over his knees in total exhaustion; as he straightened his back, he stands upright as if exhaustion did not exist a second before. The male lead's personality fluctuated through different scenes such that I can not pin his true character; is he cold elegance or young boyish or shy gentle? Two side characters joined the school the same time the main characters did under the approval of the elder as having a "good heart and character" turns out to be school bullies leading a group of followers in the next scene. [My confused self: wait a minute, aren't they new students? How did they become seniors with minions and power? What happened to the two sweet innocent like boys at the entry exam?] As a Peter Sheng fan, I believe his acting could only be as stable as he could musters under the destructive guidance of the director. There are also some flaws with film editing. I can only imagine a "could be" hit drama if only it was under better directing and editing.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).


Where does it come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

Where can I get some?
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

Not a bad watch

My first foray into Thai BL and I don’t think it that bad. Haven’t even started the Sky-Prapai section so I can’t speak to that. I just want to say for pure entertainment value, it is a good watch. I didn’t think about morality or feminism. Initial thoughts were positive, I even thought Payu a good influence on Rain as he advocates responsibility and being true to oneself. Payu is commendable as he helps strangers in need, is good to his juniors and seems to be both smart and charming. He looks to be the complete package. I’m watching with English subs so I don’t know if certain things were lost in translation but I find it simply entertaining. I can see why some people are sensitive to certain aspects of the series but speaking for just myself, I really wasn’t looking for a social commentary or anything serious & I didn’t look deeply into each character.

I'm really interested in seeing this, can anyone tell me where I can watch it?
Ok this needs to be at least 500 characters for me to submit, so here's hoping I can run it down with randomness.
My mother and I are now using the ViKi app to stream titles, and even though I can't understand the language (but I am slowly learning some mandarin) I love it.
I have now clue what my character count is at now, but it still won't let me post.
Ok, I just checked and of ^^^ I'm at 429.
I first became interested in this because of George Hu, everything else I've seen him in I've loved even when they were long and my brain wanted me to stop with the subtitles for a while. Then I leaned who else is on it and am now even more interested in watching it. So any help in finding it is appreciated.
