It is up to you to decide whether this is worth your time. I liked it, but you might not.

***Huge Spoilers Ahead***

I don't know if I'm writing what I feel at all, but I decided earlier that after seeing a beautiful ending today, I'd write a review for viewers like us who have loved this show for so long. But honestly, after witnessing how it ended, I have no hope that this review will be useful for them.
After hearing the final line of the 15th episode, I started a bad conflict in my head, and I'm honestly disappointed that the actual ending is so consistent. However, after watching the 16th episode, I realised that the show was a bittersweet version of one that aired the previous summer. And that is the one we are all familiar with: "2521."
I'm not going to compare the two shows right now to show how they're similar. But the real point I'll make is that after watching ending of this show, I realised that while the ML and FL in both shows were the best options for each other, they weren't meant to be together.
And because I finished watching "2521" as part of my daily routine, I don't think I'm as upset by the ending as I was last year. I will also say that I will not be sorry that I watched these two shows in the future, because even with endings like this, I will still say that I enjoyed both of them.
But what if I was asked if I hadn't watched the show and if I didn't know how it ended? Would I knowingly start a show like this? I'm not sure what the answer is to that. Maybe I would have done it then, maybe I wouldn't have, but the chances of not doing it were definitely higher...
Finally, for those who haven't seen this show yet or are considering starting it, the only piece of advice is to avoid making decisions based on how others feel. Read both sides' arguments, then ask yourself what the final decision you're willing to make out of this is.
Lastly, I'll say this: I wish you a "happy watching" experience.

Disappointed! Could've been much better...

The screenwriter must be a teenager in her mind who's still living in her fairyland!
There's no way a grown-ass woman in her perfect mind would write this cringe dramatic nonsense.
If we ignore the fringes, the basic plot of the story is as follows: Ten years ago, a boy was being bullied at school, and his father noticed but couldn't say anything as he was working on the roadside.
This irritated the youngster, who despised his father's profession. After a while, an older sister arrives with an advertisement featuring the boy's father. After seeing the commercial, he realised how vital his father's job was to society. The youngster had a crush on her since she created this lovely advertisement for his father, which allowed the boy to reconnect with his father. They met again after ten years, and the boy wanted to make friends with her, but as time went on, they gradually became more than just friends.
One day, suddenly, the boy's mother discovers about her son's relationship and tries to break them apart as she thinks her child isn't good enough and might suffer in the future as the couples don't belong to the same class in society.
Surprisingly, the boy received his father's complete support and resolved to prove his mother wrong in order for her to embrace their relationship.
After a few months, the boy achieves professional success while maintaining a harmonious love life, prompting his mother to finally accept their relationship.
The end.
A 36-episode drama could've wrapped up within 10 episodes easily, but the rest of the episodes were unnecessary fillers that dragged the plot beyond a tolerable point.
The plus point of this drama that forced me to engage with it was the chemistry between the leads.
The chemistry was deep and mature, which was actually what I was craving from the show.
A solid 7 out of 10 is what I'm capable of rating it.

Following your fate blindly or having a bit of courage to challenge your fate, which do you prefer!?

What is it that you actually want to happen in life if you had the choice to choose from:
1. Allow your life to unfold naturally; fall in love with the person who is entwined with you by a crimson thread of fate; and accept the outcome that fate has planned, happy or tragic.
Or,
2. Even if you are aware of your fate and the one that awaits you, muster some bravery and fight against it in order to have a happy ending and spend time with your loved one—not the one that is predestined.


Now, if I talk about this drama, what I actually enjoyed is:
1. The best female character written in kdrama history.
FL, Oh Baek Ryun knew from the get-go whom she liked, what she wanted from him,who was interested in her at the same time,how to make someone fall for you, how to handle third-party interest without playing with their emotions,how to sacrifice for your soulmate,how to fight against your destiny, and lastly, how to wait, praying for your one and only loved one.
I know it's super rare to find someone like her as your partner, but if you find one, you should thank your luck for meeting her.
2. ML, Chun Sang Hyuk. When I first started watching, it seemed like he was constantly falling for different ladies in different decades, all of which ended horribly. He was even warned against falling for any woman, but if he does, it'll end in tragedy. So I was actually worried about how the current timeline would end up. But after knowing that he had unknowingly fallen for the same soul in different decades,I had no choice but to admire his character wholeheartedly.
Although he was reluctant to openly date anyone after his first tragedy occurred, when he came to know that FL was actually the girl from back then, he let go of all other warnings, etc., and finally started to follow his heart to pursue his hidden feelings.
He also fought against his destiny, remained heartbroken for decades with a huge guilt in his heart, fought again against his destiny after learning the truth behind all of the tragedies,died as a fairy, and got reincarnated as a human to live the life he wanted with his loved one.
3. Chun Dong Chil, aka A Bad Day to Be a Dog. He practically carried most of the story as a major supporting character.
I'm not going to say much about him here; you should watch to find out more.

Now let's talk about what I actually hated:
1. Chun Dong Koo, aka the dumbest irritating fairy amongst the four. A man with a personality like his is a menace to society. His story is only here as a filler. If we can cut his subplot, I guess it'll easily be a super exciting 12-episode drama.
I just find it a shame that after spending so much time on him, the script writer wrote that horrendous ending for him, which makes no sense to me, like, WTF! Why spend so much screen time on him if you already have that shitty ending for him?
3. Seo Jae Hee, the most self-narcissistic delusional freak I've ever seen. He's the second-most pathetic SML I've seen in recent times! A man thinking of him makes my blood boil.
I never liked his character for my own specific reasons, which I shouldn't put here in words.
This feeling only cooled down almost at the end of the drama when he slowly started to let go of his obsession over FL after learning the truth from his past life, which can't completely wash away the fact that I was frustrated with him in the past episode, so kindly bear with me.
3. Chun Dong Pal, Lmao, he's a filler. That's it.
There are also other little but point-worthy things that I liked and disliked in this drama, but I can't include them in this list as it is most likely already very long.
Overall, I believe I will remember this story for a very long time, which makes it well worth my time. If I consider the re-watchability of this drama, I believe once a year is sufficient to reminisce about the leads' fascinating chemistry.

Another Hidden Gem.

Q:- Is it really necessary for someone to have love in their life in order to be happy and to be the best version of themselves?

A:-This show aids us in answering this question for ourselves.
```Major Spoilers Ahead```

The First Story:-

Qin Lan is the main protagonist here.
The only reason I decided to give it a shot was because of her, and as expected, I'm glad my queen didn't let me down.
Her character in her role here, Zhang Fan, is an interior designer who is divorced and no longer believes in stable relationships, but one day she finds herself in a mess when she wakes up in her room and finds a man there who's quite younger than her.After returning to her homeland, she becomes embroiled in another workplace misunderstanding, which turns her world upside down as she tries to protect one of her subordinates, Li Tian.

In relation to his age, Lin Sen is intelligent.
He meets Zhang Fan in France, and after hearing about her tragic past, he develops feelings for her.But when he followed Zhang Fan's footsteps back to China, he faced heartbreak, as he proposed to Zhang Fan to be his girlfriend, and she flatly rejected him and asked him to go back there from where he came and leave her alone. But after some time, Zhang Fan unknowingly took a fancy to him, and their love story began almost near the end.

The Second Story:-

Lan Ying Ying is the second main protagonist here.
From the beginning to the ending, the section I found the most annoying.
Her character in her role Pan Xiao Chen is a fantastic insurance salesman who is suffering from a seven-year relationship itch. She began to doubt her boyfriend as a result of his cold behavior toward her, and she discovered something quite unexpected and difficult to believe about her boyfriend, whom she had dated for nearly 7 years.

Wang Jun is Pan Xiao Chen's boyfriend and a pet doctor.
They were madly in love during their college days, but after living and spending time together for 7 years, his love for Pan Xiao Chen has now completely faded.
One day, he asked an online friend to seduce Pan Xiao Chen so he could use this as an excuse to break up with her.
But just as his friend was about to complete his mission, Wang Jun changed his mind and asked his friend to stop pursuing his girlfriend and stay away from her because he wanted to reconcile with her once more.

The Third Story:-

Zheng He Hui Zi is the third main protagonist here.
She had piqued my interest in this show, and strikingly, she had me engaged the entire time.
In this story, her character is a cute pet blogger who falls in love with any man who treats her sincerely.
When she discovered that both brothers, one of whom was her ex-boyfriend and his younger brother, who was one step away from becoming her new boyfriend, had cheated and deceived her, she vowed to destroy them until she felt sorry for them.

The remaining ones aren't worth mentioning, so you should learn about them while watching the show.
The side characters were also pleasent to watch. Especially Zhang Shi An and Yuan Meng.
That stand-up comedian, Life Xue Qin,was also fantastic at the start of each episode. I really liked her parts.
The soundtrack to this drama is also noteworthy.
I particularly enjoyed the beginning and ending OSTs in all episodes.
It was very unusual to hear this type of music in a Chinese drama.
The romance was okay compared to this plot.
Overall, I really had a great time watching this.
I'm hoping that this drama will be recognized in the near future.

"Rational Life"! Will it be a good watch or downright ugly?

I finally finished it.
Except for the horror genre, it was a rollercoaster ride of all the emotions that can be felt while watching a drama.
The first ten episodes are captivating.
I became so engrossed that I binge-watched the first ten episodes that I forgot how quickly time passed.....
But from episode 11 to 21, I was so bored that I became frustrated wondering how long it would take them to realise they love each other.
Surprisingly, it began to improve again with the next episode.
& I felt a strong desire to end this show.
It gets even better near the end.....
Episodes 32 and 33 are two of my favourites.
I was happy, angry at times, annoyed at times, felt the sadness as well as regrets of their mothers from their pasts, felt butterflies from heart-fluttering scenes, laughed my ass off at times, as well as cried a bucket at the end of it.
In a nutshell, it was a wonderful journey.
Based on the first half of the show, I'm sure most viewers will drop it.
I was also considering putting it "on hold."
Nonetheless, I forced myself to go for it.
But as I managed to secure closer to the end, I realised that all of the boring parts from the first half were necessary for all of the emotional scenes and heart-fluttering moments at the end.
So I'm writing this review because I'm glad I forced myself to wrap up it.
So I'd also advise trying to force yourself towards the end.
You will not be sorry later.
More importantly, don't forget to watch the special three episodes.

"Laughing Through Flaws: Unpacking [Doctor Slump] with PSH & PHS"

I'm glad it happened, and I watched it.
TBH, when PSH got married, I was worried if she'd ever come back to acting.
But when I heard she was returning, I was too excited to even check what type of show it was. Later, when I found out it was exactly the kind of drama I like, I was relieved I wouldn't have to step out of my comfort zone just for PSH.
Plus, with PHS as the male lead, their chemistry was hot chemical.

Was it a long-lasting, memorable drama?
A Nah, there are definitely more memorable ones out there, whether it's rom-coms or medical dramas.

Was it a flawless project?
A. Nope. There were quite a few flaws (I'm not going into those details, as it'll be very long by then), but the lead's chemistry and PHS's comedic role made me overlook them.

Were all the characters well-written and bearable?
A Nope. Some characters annoyed me from start to finish. (Spoiler Alert: Hong Ran, Ba Da, and Wol Seon)

Is it worth a re-watch?
A In my opinion, nope. Once is enough.

Is the plot perfectly written?
A. Nope,the plot is full of plot holes.

Firstly,

I still have several questions unanswered in my mind regarding this drama. We'll never know the answers to it, as they were literally buried towards the end.

Secondly,

The overly drunken plot was cringe-worthy, to be honest! Like in the past, they tended to create side character stories much more detailedly to fill the gaps for fillers, but nowadays they use drunken plots as fillers.

Atlast,

The character development of the obnoxious characters felt suddenly unbelievable to grasp.

How was the acting?
A. I believe every single one of them did a tremendous job portraying their roles. I loved, admired, and sometimes loathed them.

Overall value?
A. It's not perfect, but it's enjoyable for a chill time. The comedy helps forget the bad stuff, making it an easy watch. So, I'd give it a solid 8.5.

A tragic, unrequited, but touching love story.

The story takes place in the year 1999.
Yeon Doo and Bo Ra are two childhood besties.
One day, Yeon Doo meets with a stranger at their shop and gets a crush on him.
She tells her best friend, Bo Ra, about this and refuses to go for heart surgery in the U.S.
Bo Ra promises Yeon Doo that she'll help her to get every detail about her crush and that she must go for her heart surgery in the U.S. and come back healthy.
After coming back from successful heart surgery, Yeon Doo asks Bo Ra about her crush, showing a photo that Bo Ra sent her before.
But suddenly  Bo Ra was stunned, as in this photo there were 3 people: Bo Ra,Yeon Doo's Crush, and a guy whom Bo Ra likes, and the guy whom Yeon Doo is pointing at is the other guy whom Bo Ra actually likes.
She suddenly realises that all along she had guessed the wrong guy and Yeon Doo's actual crush is the guy whom she loves.
Bo Ra chooses her friendship over her love and tries every attempt to get Yeon Doo and her ( Bo Ra's) lover closer, despite the fact that it's actually tormenting her inside.
But eventually, Yeon Doo finds out the truth, and she's devastated, thinking Bo Ra simply made a fool out of her.
But after so much thought, Yeon Doo slowly understands Bo Ra's intention and attempts to fix all the misconceptions by telling everything about her to the guy Bo Ra loves.
Bo Ra finally reunites with her lover on the day of his departure to a foreign country.
He promises that he'll definitely come back for her and tells her (Bo Ra) to wait for him.
After many years of waiting, Bo Ra finally meets with her lover's younger brother instead of him and gets a package from him containing the old memories of Bo Ra and her lover.
At the end, a startling reality is revealed that leaves Bo Ra and the viewers in tears.
 
My personal thoughts:-
Many viewers are going to despise this movie after this twisted ending.
But I found this ending adoptable.
Even though I'm disappointed by the ending, I do believe that a distinct outcome would have been far better and more palatable.
We can't always have our way while things are happening.
So, even when we're watching a drama, there are moments when this kind of ending isn't at all loathsome.
So, if you think you're this open-minded, give it a shot; otherwise, if you can't stand unfavourable outcomes, try something else.

Is It A Good One Or Skipable!?

I wasn't sure at first whether to start this drama or not.
Additionally, the rating was too high, but I still wanted to test it.
I finished it in two weeks.
But in just 5 days, I finished the first 30 episodes. because it was so fascinating.
But after that, I think the show lost its way and started to get tedious and annoying.
Around episode 60, the storyline started to pick up steam once more as we got closer to the finale.
And everything ended well (Somewhat Satisfying).
Acting: Yang Mi and Ethan Juan, the leads, did a fantastic job!
My particular favourite medical sage cast members were Zong Yue (Yi Lai), Zhan Beiye (Gao Weiguang), and Xaio Qi (Sunday Jiang).
But, unexpectedly, at the end, I felt love for just an evil character:-
Feng Jing Fan, also known as Folian (Rain Wang),
Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this drama! & The Experience Exceeded My Expectations
Though I'm not sure why, I don't think this one is worth revisiting...
But if you have not watched it yet, you should definitely do so.
