As TVB's Taiwanese drama, "The Benevolent Doctor Under the Stars" has fallen into a heavy role in Cass: in addition to Zheng Jiaying and Ma Guoming, who regard quarrels and fights as daily joys, Zhong Jiaxin, who has not appeared for a long time to shoot dramas, returned to the tricolor stage this time to play a single mother and doctor without borders who is pregnant in a test tube. In addition, Zhou Jiayi, who was filming on other stages and whose acting skills were well received, also participated in it and had an emotional line with Ma Guoming. Even the supporting characters are old acquaintances of Gong Cien, Hai Junjie, Chen Ziyao, and Guo Shaoyun, who are most Hong Kong drama fans.

Three weeks after the start of the broadcast, the Douban score of the drama was maintained at 9.1 points (5181 people scored), which showed its strength.

Speaking of medical dramas, this theme can be said to be TVB's specialty, whether it is the classic IP that has been made into a series of dramas such as "Magic Hand Benevolent Heart", "Benevolent Heart Decoding", "On Call 36 Hours", or "White Strongman", which has helped Ma Guoming win the Best Actor at the Thousands of Stars Awards Ceremony in recent years, are all masterpieces of drama fans.

Classic Hong Kong medical drama

Unlike these previous medical dramas that either focus on brain surgery or focus on the emergency room, "Benevolent Doctor Under the Stars" focuses on the pediatric hospital that looks less conspicuous and does not have high returns, but always affects the hearts of every parent.

Twenty years ago, an operation turned the back on the good brothers Xu Ganfeng (Zheng Jiaying) and Kang Congxin (Ma Guoming), who were still practicing pediatric specialists at the time. Years later, Kang became a consultant pediatric surgeon at Hong Kong's top Annie Hospital, an elite figure. Xu Ganfeng, who saved lives and helped the injured with his enthusiasm, treated the children of poor families in a second-rate hospital. Zhang Yixin (Zhong Jiaxin), an intern doctor who was at the same time as the two of them, returned after many years as a doctor without borders abroad and became a cardiothoracic and pulmonary surgeon. The fate of the three people who wander between black and white and gray is reunited because of a liver transplant case.

Cong Xin's wish is to build the first pediatric center for Hong Kong, helpless in a first-class hospital like Anne Hospital, medical resources are hard currency, compared to other golden chicken hen departments that can earn more, pediatrics is the least valued part, even under the unremitting efforts of several generations of predecessors, to win the right land, will also be suddenly blocked by the tiger, such as money and connections are more important than life, often let people want to kick his feet across the screen Zhou Zhenyao (Hai Junjie).

Therefore, the situation managed to gather Xu Ganfeng and Zhang Yixin, plus the head of surgery Mak Haiqi (Zhou Jiayi), and the senior doctor of anesthesiology, Guo Baojing (Guo Shaoyun), to create a Hard Team that specializes in complex pediatric surgeries, expand the momentum, and pave the way for applying for a pediatric center.

Still, the road in front of them seemed harder. This end is obstructed by the president of the hospital, and there is Zhong Huaishuang (Gong Cien), the dean of the medical school, who insists on putting his son into the group.

In the process of watching the play, the author found that the most common sentence in the bullet screen was: "After being a mother, I really can't see such a scene." A particularly impressive barrage is: "My mom just finished this operation and passed away." A short sentence, tearful. There are many complicated surgeries in the play, but what is really lamentable is the relationship between people who have become close or alienated due to illness. Sometimes, it is necessary to know the preciousness of family, friendship and love at the moment of life and death.

One of the cases that touched the author the most was the night when the Wind Balloon No. 10 was blowing and the storm was raging, cong Xin was on his way home, and he met the young woman Luo Lina with her half-year-old daughter Rui Rui to see an emergency. Lina repeatedly noticed that her daughter's breathing was abnormal, but once she arrived at the hospital, most of the doctors could not find out what was wrong, and decided that Lina was overly anxious, and rushed their mother and daughter home. The mother's intuition was accurate, and as the mother's core, she carefully noticed that Rui Rui may have a heart disease and need urgent surgery. It can be seen that the professionalism and patience of doctors are really the top priority in the medical process.

Many of the families around us have had a similar problem – do children have to go to the doctor for everything? Could it be that parents are overly nervous and waste the manpower and resources of the hospital? Under the subtlety, we often seem to have a thought: will we think too much? Bear with it, will the illness be automatically cured? In fact, everyone understands the truth, but it falls on their heads, which is another scene.

In terms of emotional lines, the author's favorite Xipi is Xu Ganfeng and Zhang Yixin, and the interaction between the two people has aroused a lot of sparks.

Zheng Jiaying's character this time is somewhat similar to the Law Bully of "Streets of Rage" that year. Xu Ganfeng seems cynical, but in fact he has a sense of responsibility. He wears a pair of cave slippers and red socks all day long, will tell stories to sick children, magic tricks, send cartoon stickers, is a "beard doctor" who is loved by everyone and blossoms, and even the surgical hat worn in the operating room is a baby bear.

And Zhang Yixin, played by Zhong Jiaxin, is not quite consistent with the obedient card she often plays in the past, and can be called the decathlon social cow x disease herself. This person is very pleasing, when encountering unfair things, she will be the first to speak out, is the existence of the built-in spit barrage, so she is often scolded by the leader, saying that she does not know how to respect the teacher and discuss seniority.

Zheng Jiaying and Zhong Jiaxin have a good sense of Xipi.

On the contrary, Cong Xin, played by Ma Guoming, has become the famous spare tire of the good man Mai Haiqi, the personalities of the two characters are very introverted, the emotional line is written in a numb way, and the sense of Xipi is not strong, far less than the fish boy and a head in the "On Call 36 Hours" series. If it were not for the two actors relying on their acting skills, I am afraid that the effect would be more embarrassing.

This is also the main problem of "Doctor Under the Stars" - the transition is not natural enough. Although emotional stories are interspersed in the daily work of doctors, they always give people a sense of rigidity. Equally problematic is the cut and rhythm of the show. There are many flashback scenes of the failed surgery in the play, but each time the audience has to keep reviewing the same type of picture, and the call back generated by the "water injection expansion" is really unnecessary.

If you are complicated and simple in editing, "Doctor Under the Stars" is a drama worth savoring: the starring acting is excellent, and the medical group portrait is well written. Whether it is the contradiction between the frontline doctors and the administration that is gradually intensifying due to medical resources, the competitive relationship between doctors and intern doctors, the relationship between doctors dealing with sick children and their families, or the world and monster parents who have risen to the industry, these perspectives are presented in a fresh and interesting way.

Some mothers would rather not treat their own illness, but also leave the opportunity to apply for government subsidies to their daughters, giving people a glimpse of the bitterness of "there is only one disease in the world, that is, poor disease"; some underage mothers hesitate to give birth to children, and the dispute between them and their fathers will affect the doctor's judgment and treatment of the disease; the intern doctor does not eat on time because of long-term overtime, faints in the stairwell without anyone caring, and the life of the distressing social animals is uncared for...

Whose life is more expensive? Who has the right to judge? On the operating table, should we respect the patient himself or the wishes of the family? If the starting point of this dream of being a doctor is a mistake, should it continue? These topics are also worth pondering.

As the hospital documentary filmed by the TV station in the play said: "Go to the medical country, chinese medicine to heal people, and the next medicine to heal the disease." "Small children in sick mode need more care. Parents who take care of their children also need to be concerned. Comparing heart to heart, when facing child patients, more patience and less anxiety are always good.

At work, don't be a numb person and treat each case as a new case. This is not only for pediatricians, but for practitioners in any industry.
