Love Is Panacea

 

When Gu Yun Zheng, an associate professor of neurosurgery, goes on a medical aid mission in the (fictional) North African nation of Lakaya, he meets former student Su Wei An, a "dropout" who has abandoned her medical career to become a businessperson. From bickering all the time to falling in love with each other, he gradually discovers that her odd behavior and resistance to his advances are because she carries the gene for Huntington's disease - an incurable disease which leaves her hopeless. He decides to give up his promising career and devote his life to researching a cure for Huntington's, fighting alongside his beloved to carve light out of the darkness.

It might take all 34 episodes for this to happen. This C-drama is a tale of a fictional country in Africa and how two doctors (well, she could have been one but she has a strange disease) come together to help the locals, do some brain surgery, and of course, fall in love. It stars our boy Lou (Leo Lou) and the most adaptable Zhang Ruo Nan. I swear she was totally different in DATE WITH THE FUTURE.

There were a lot of things I  liked about her strong-willed character. And there are some adventurous moments in the romcom too. Still...you have that stoic ML that might be joking when given a chance. I felt the drama did him right compared to some C-drama I have seen of his. Although, I think my favorite of his is LIE TO LOVE  or LOVE IS SWEET.
