A really interesting portrayal of the two cities/cultures and of traditional medicine. Refreshing as the story was character driven and had none if the usual plot lines or characters in k or c dramas - most refreshing!
I loved the two female characters - Jo was always strong and I loved her, NianNian grew on me as she developed and matured into a strong, confident woman - just took her a while!
However the two men? First time I didnt want the females to end up with the men! Even though they too matured it took 18 episodes for Jo's man and frankly I could not accept their pathetic, immature, selfish past behaviour. They couldnt cut it when times were hard so what hope for future troubled times? Also worst kissing ? I've ever seen in any drama !! Also Niannian and Ryans story was abandoned for several episodes- and was only given hope in the last scene. But as I said I wasn't too bothered with their relationship! With 3cpast marriages he was pretty unreliable anyway!
At times the drama used flashbacks and strange tactics to flesh out the drama and there was often discontinuation from one episode to another and even scenes - but the gist of it remained!
NianNians family were great. All the characters were flawed at times but this drove the drama and made them believable.
Worth watching for the women!
