That is my best advice. If you are coming from watching Spring Flower, Autumn Moon then be ready for disappointment. What made that drama so lovable for so many was Qui Ye devil in love and their chemistry. You see none of that here until probably the first couple episodes and the end. But I will point out in Prodigy Healer, never did I hear them profess the word love. I will never put down the acting because if Li Hong Yi and Rosie would be bad, I would not be watching. I won't even watch American, Latin, Korean etc dramas because they are too unbelievable and unengaging for me. I still stopped watching at 17 and skipped to 36 after reading several reviews. I was correct in doing that. I was still waiting for a little bit of more love scenes and maybe a different outcome but by 17 it got kinda boring and I wish I knew Chinese so I could only hear the story.
I saw the end and I cannot believe her "sister" is healed and pregnant after wanting to take her man away and poisoning attempt. smh I cannot even believe the censors passed that part of the story but maybe having so much Japanese resentment still helped that. Somebody in reviews said the timeline was ambiguous and somebody said 60's and 70's I advice you to get a quick read on Chinese/Japanese history and relations in the late 20th century and early 21th so you can see why. To me the time is between late 1930's to early 1940's and that is just by looking at the vehicles, clothing and hairstyles. This brings me to a point of why did he have to cut his ponytail but I can see it would make the actors go through less trouble to be on camera. Rosie looked perfect as someone who is a Doctor, Studied abroad and is a busy lady but Li Hong Yi's eyes should have been shown more and that hair over the eye was driving me crazy.
The end was a bit confusing because I thought she might be a ghost or he is pretending she is alive in order to cope. Then I remembered she ate the fruit of the tree and thus, this might have helped her survive or make a comeback and now she can have the same powers he has and move back and forth between the forest and her modern life. I needed closure and wish they had made post happiness scene that the villain got. I just hope the ML and FL would do more dramas together. Unlike other couples in dramas, their relationship is more believable to the viewer and now romantic song can compensate for the on screen chemistry.
