A drama that is focused on the balance of career and life

This is another chill slice of life drama to watch. The story is really quite simple, there are some tense scenes but due to the characters' line of jobs.

I've suddenly became a Bai Jingting fangirl after watching him on 'Reset' and been going through his dramas, after seeing so many good reviews here, I've decided to watch it. Honestly, this drama is really cute to watch, I love the realistic and natural approach they did here. Though I think 40 episodes was a bit too much for this kind of drama.

Things I love about this drama:
- I really love the healthy relationship between the main leads. Both their occupations are very demanding, yet they were able to maintain their relationship. They have a huge trust, patience and understanding with one another. Also they would apologize if one made a mistake, and they do clear up any misunderstandings with one another. This is something I usually don't see in dramas, and I really love it so much.
- Also I love how natural the main leads chemistry was. Also after their characters got together, they really gave a good job showing how awkward things can be at a start of a relationship and how it builds up afterwards.
- They really show the importance and difference between a police and a doctor; and how these jobs are very crucial and demanding. I love seeing the main leads very dedicated to their jobs.
- It's my first time to see a drama having three couples. I love the huge difference with each couples, and they were quite enjoyable for me (though the second couple did get to the point of being frustrating). Main couple was a huge fluff-fest, and show how pure and innocent their love is. While second couple was quite funny, more on the passionate side despite the second ML was a huge blockhead. Third couple, I seriously love them as they were really level headed and mature. Another thing each characters of these three couples, I love how passionate they are with their work as well and how helpful they are when a disaster strikes in.
- Have to say, I love the FL's character development from the first few episodes and how she became such a great doctor in the future. There are several episodes where you could see that she's a strong FL and a smart one as well, you could also see her overcoming something she fears in the early episodes and I really love that they made her character that way. Another thing I like was that our FL looked very realistic with none/natural make-up and didn't doll up much; which is given as her occupation as a doctor. I found this detail really nice, as I don't see any real life doctors dolling-up for their work.
- It's fun seeing the ML's gap, being a very strict and cold (?) captain of the police team and becoming a very smitten and awkward man when it comes to the FL.
- OST, I seriously love both the opening and outro songs so much. Outro was very upbeat, while the outro was really calming; have never skipped them when I move to the next episodes.

Cons:
- Despite this being quite an enjoyable drama for me; I felt that 40 episodes was a bit too much for my opinion. I felt that after the main leads got together, the story started to progress a bit slow and the next few happenings/arcs in the drama was a bit unnecessary.
- I did mentioned that I still love all three couples of this drama. But as mentioned that the second couple did quite get frustrating, and how I wish they didn't drag their relationship until further down the episodes. This couple also have a love triangle. (I'm glad they didn't put it with the main leads)
- There are several side characters that are very annoying and can be stressful. Two of the annoying side character have an arc nearing the end of the series and I felt that this arc was just not needed at all.
- The romance to be honest was really slow paced, especially for the second and third couples.
- Not sure, but I didn't really feel much character development with the main ML; but it was nice seeing flaws about him in several parts of the drama. He didn't felt too perfect, but I really did wish they gave him a development that was really noticeable.
- I felt like they have forgotten several characters, such as the main FL's best friend that has a sickness. I wanted to hear a closure for her, but we never gotten it through the run of the drama and it's like she just disappeared.

To be honest I'm not sure if the medical terms and procedures are all correct, but I'm hoping they are as it would be very informative.

Overall:
The story is not completely unique, but it's enjoyable. The first half of the drama really hooked me especially during the disaster arc, but as mentioned I felt the pacing started to slow down after the main leads got together. If you're into something light to watch, seeing couples with a healthy relationship, a drama with a dash of several tense and maybe frustrating scenes; maybe you'll enjoy this drama too! For re-watch, I'm not yet sure if I'll do another re-watch for this; sure I did enjoy this but not to point that I would do another run again for re-watching it. Maybe I'll re-watch some parts that I've enjoyed but not the whole drama.
