An episodic drama with a good amount character side-plots

The entire value of this drama is on the consistency in storytelling when it came to He Dun (our main female lead) counseling patients. Each patient dealt with many things that relate to social issues, media misuse, and how awful people's judgment/character assassinations. A lot of heavy topics are handled quite well and even take pointed moments to blame certain people (ie media outlets, netizens, victim-blaming asshats, predators) for their actions. I definitely would NOT recommend this to anyone who may be triggered by the topics. But again, the best parts of this drama game are from He Dun talking and counseling each patient. It was incredibly hard not to feel for each patient and their struggles. Their problems were also not quick fixes; they involved work and even passed seeing them we know they are still working on it. This was a really good message to have.

In terms of our characters, each one has their own mountain of personal issues they deal with. One character, Ye Jia Hui, takes a good chunk and slow burn of the character side plots right to the very end of the drama. His plotlines are arguably what has kept this drama from getting a higher rating for me. He Dun and Jing Bo Ran are a delight in chemistry and their romance plotline was a bit slow and really enjoyable as well as rewarding. Tang Li Li was a ball of energy filled with flaws that many could identify with. Each character had their pride/ego that they put up against each other but ultimately sought friendship from each other. He Dun & Tang Li Li's friendship was endearing.

If you are into healing dramas this is solid but be aware that it is not really built on our characters as much as nurtured by them. The focus is often on the patients, and we get our main characters in the backgrounds developing most of the time.
