So much potential just ruined

What do you get when you take a great story, great cast. some great lines and dump a bunch of slow mo never ending monologue with violins, piano, cringe and misinformation... 5 stars and some bored viewers.

This drama has so much potential, really the cast is great, it has the looks, the chemistry, the diversity (ish), no one overly annoying and most of all no one lacks talent. The story has everything I love in a drama, it had my head spinning the first few episodes with suspense making my head spin of all the theories, it tackles some of my absolute favorite issues, including child abuse, domestic violence, mental illness, suicide etc. It has some amazing friendships and relationships and even shows a person who lives with a recycled heart as a competent human being! Topped off with sweet, sweet romance, fluff and amazing side couples. This could easily have become a 10.

But then, it was just dragged out, and just turned in to a mess making me bored instead of spinning my head by the time we got to know the truth, I honestly could not have cared less.

At some point the main characters get to have conversations with their inner child, I am sorry but all respect to inner kids watching it on screen just makes me want to barf. And the monologs just never end... They try to be healing and non judgmental but end up just bad, cringey and boring. I think they try to tell us that the smallest things can make a difference but it just becomes to much... Again sad because some parts are actually good and worth hearing, just that it gets drowned out by the moralisation, and never ending slow motion talk (okay it was not sloe mo but it felt like it) and I do not have double speed when I watch Netflix on my lap top so I endured it... But If you do not mind this stuff, go on watch it because it is pretty good between the boring parts, and hey it also has some sweet animals in it.

Now to the misinformation about heart transplants, as a person living with a recycled heart this bugs the hell out of me, why you may ask well, I will not spoil this so Ill just say it is used in a very dehumanising way for the plot from several angels but also misinformation is bad for those who may need a heart and those who live with a recycled heart because it effects how we are perceived and can scare the s*** out of us and people around us.

While watching I wrote this:

Ok so as a heart transplantee I just have to say a few words, people who receive hearts have no time limit, we may have had before but not any more. As long as we go for regular check ups and take our meds we should be fine. We may need a kidney or liver later on but I think it is pretty rare, and my liver and kidneys are in great shape (I check them every year)!

We are not restricted from exercise at all, it may take a while for the heart rate to go up but other than that we (I) should probably exercise more.

We are more susceptible to infections (our meds lower our immunsystem), and skin cancer, some of us get anxiety, survivor's guilt and more often than not try to compensate for the loss of time due to previous illness by overworking and getting stress induced exhaustion...

But can otherwise live perfectly boring lives, do whatever we would have done without the experience of recycling hearts...

So now you get a lesson about recycling hearts, this of course goes for those with access to good health service, I also assume restrictions can very from place to place but for those wondering I take lots of meds, have a bunch of big scares (his is never visible) and need to avoid soft ice cream and milkshakes from a machine, unpasteurised dairy, raw fish or meat, grape fruit, ice from a machine, always wash vegetables well and cut off the ends of tomatoes, avoid raw juice if it is not freshly made and need to avoid ibuprofen . I am allowed to drink alcohol in moderation unlike him, and I think that is it...

So if you do chose to watch this you may want to bare this in mind...
