Dr Chen and His Romance

Well, the show was entertaining (at least for local film standard), and I wasn't willing to watch one episode per day until the end of the month. I hesitated, and I actually decided to pay RM5/month to be Tonton VIP member. Being a subscriber, I could watch the entire series before they're aired. And shockingly I have finished the series! Well, since it is still being aired on 8TV at the moment so I'll not be spoiling anything here, but my comment is that, while the show is indeed entertaining, the conclusion seems a bit rush and I am not very happy about that. On Instagram, from what I read, it seems like 8TV is going to make short films as alternative endings to the show, and it should be interesting how it is going to be. Else, the current ending seems a bit sloppily done. It definitely could have been better. Plus, it seems all characters get some plot about them, but Dr Chen has none. Which is a bit odd. Usually, the main character gets a self-centric plot. I was thinking there might be stories like Dr Chen fainted or got into an accident and Xiao Xian got worried or something a bit cliche, but there was none. Nonetheless, as a Malaysian product, it's a great show. And I like it very much, especially since no local-produced series have caught my attention for years.
