WTF Gu Wei

Ok, The Oath of Love has been out long enough that I don't feel bad about posting an appropriately-tagged spoiler. And I'm STILL bothered by this months and months after watching, so:

Early on, the Dad has stomach cancer, and the rival doctor guy wants to do a big extreme surgery to have the best chance of preventing the patient eventually dying from cancer. Gu Wei wants to do a more limited surgery that will treat the cancer while enable the patient to have a better quality of life and still be able to eat normally. The patient opts for the more limited surgery...and eventually DIES OF CANCER. Gu Wei's reaction is just "yes, cancer is very sad, sigh," without any consideration of how they reached this point. The show doesn't seem to realize it has proved that rival doctor guy was right?

(The show also doesn't realize that being a serious cello player involves hours and hours of practice, but I digress...)

#the oath of love #the oath of love spoilers #tw: cancer #spoilers #rant #maybe they addressed this in one of the many scenes in the middle that i ended up skipping #i skipped all the sadface-stubble scenes #and all the scenes of a professional cellist not playing cello which was like 80% of the scenes #hilariously i went into this show thinking it would be one of those where two career people fall in love and support each others ambitions #....so much nope #like compare the amount we learn about cello in this show #with the amount we learn about e-sports commentating in gank your heart #this show is not about being a cellist is what I'm saying
