Now THAT is a Pilot

This is how a pilot should be written. A show should grab me by the lapels and not let me go until the end of the episode. I already have so many questions... but that is definitely a good thing. I'm so interested to see how all these different characters will interact with one another. Their personalities are so disparate, so I can already imagine how cool different character combos will be. Murder mystery mixed with hospital drama? Yes, please!Even cooler is the fact that this show has so many cast members from Stranger. I love the idea of seeing these performers explore different power-dynamics with one another. I know that, as a stage performer myself, I adore performing as different types of characters. I can imagine what filming this show might have been like after filming Stranger. ALSO! There is a disabled main character, and it's a young guy, too! I'm excited to see how this show treats him, seeing as Korea doesn't seem to approach disabilities very frequently. I think this is the first time I've seen a physical disability be an important part of a character's existence, rather than just... a thing they deal with. Healer had the mother, but her being a wheelchair wasn't really essential to the plot, if I remember right.However you slice it, this pilot slaps and I'm really excited to watch more of this show.

Episode 1 drops you in the middle of a big mess: the Hospital's Director's mysterious death.

The alarming music swells in the background as we get to meet our staff and all their package: Suspicion. Guilt. Ambiguous moral compasses. Hatred. Possible organ donation manipulation. hallucinations (?). Lies. Truths... Then, suddenly amongst all doctors who are trying to figure what just happened, a businessman appears to win (and obviously to wreck havoc in the process)


As I'm not a fan of medical dramas, I decided to give this one exactly 10 minutes to capture my interest. And capture my interest it did! In less than an hour, layers were unfolded, but it's just the surface we've scratched. As far as I'm concerned, I'm so curious to find the answers to all the questions in my head and see if Mr. Businessman is as bad as everyone supposes he is. With the grand entrance he made, I need to learn more!
