In "The Outlaw Doctor," this week's plot reaches a climax as Zhang Junzai and Lian Bingfa walk into a remote dormitory located in the mountains, facing the most challenging medical trials and environmental tests in the series. At this moment, the bond between the two deepens amid adversity. Zhang Junzai and "Brother Fa" Lian Bingfa successfully treat the injured and assist in childbirth under pressure. Alone together in the mountains late at night, they share their thoughts under the starry sky, creating an ambiguous atmosphere that piques the audience’s curiosity about the future development of the "Fan Wan CP." Zhang Junzai mentions the hardships faced during filming, stating, "The biggest challenge was the difficult shooting environment, especially since there were no restrooms; everyone had to hold it in, making the shooting quite tough."
In the drama, Zhang Junzai and Lian Bingfa venture into a remote dormitory to assist a migrant worker who suffered a shoulder fracture while transporting wood, unexpectedly encountering a pregnant migrant worker who suddenly goes into labor. Zhang Junzai hurriedly has to transform into a "midwife" to deliver the baby. However, after the baby is born, it does not cry, putting both the mother and child in life-threatening situations, causing her great anxiety. Zhang Junzai highlights that this rescue scene requires attention to many details, and the crew and actors need immense patience: "Surgeries usually require special props, but since we were handling an emergency in a dormitory, we had to use tools from a toolbox to substitute for real medical instruments, which made the process quite challenging."
In addition to the tension and excitement within the scenes, the off-screen shooting was also quite difficult. Zhang Junzai mentioned that this scene was not filmed in a studio but rather in a real metal house on the mountain, stating, "The filming team had to carry medical equipment and tools up the mountain, making the whole process very challenging." On the other hand, Huang Dawei plays the role of the medical equipment agent "Zuo Jiaqun" in the show, working to help the missing migrant workers obtain medical services. He strives to recruit Lian Bingfa as a partner but harbors a dark secret involving organ trafficking and human smuggling groups, which puts Lian Bingfa in danger once again. Huang Dawei shares, "I spent a lot of time thinking about this character, as he exhibits many behaviors that fall into the 'gray area'."
