Dr. Romantic Season 2 Episode 8

Powerful

One powerful episode, I am quite impressed that the writer introduced such controversial issues as domestic abuse, group suicide, organ donation as it relates to a hospital setting and the moral and ethical dilemma hospital staff are faced with but more so on how it affects them (at a personal level) and, of course, the impact on the patients and their families alike as these have long been taboo subjects rarely if ever addressed or discussed. Not only does it address them but it clearly articulates the deep consequences if not dealt with appropriately. I really like the writer's approach to these issues with a definite push to have them taken seriously. One would think with everything that has happened at the hospital and continues to happen Dr. Park and team would have learned something but unfortunately, it all seems to be falling on deaf ears. I love Mr. Jang---tricking the Park team into committing money to gain support.On a different note, I adore how Eun TaK (can I say he is super sexy) and Dr. Yun's (I love her so much) relationship is developing and how he already confessed -- that nurse who likes him needs to give up, his made his choice. I also admire the growth in Cha this episode and how she stood up for herself against the pressures of team Park. I can only see her going forward from here. I also see how Seo appreciates Master Kim in the subtle ways he uses any given situation that arises to push them to confront their issues to become better doctors and people. Every episode seems to bring Seo closer to the "answer" he seeks. I've known from the get-go that Seo had "strong" feelings for Cha I doubt she realizes it and I can see why she hasn't as she's just too much going on a personal level but now that she seems to have a handle on her phobia I look forward to seeing how she deals with this new twist in her life.I loved the message of this episode; it serves as a reminder that one should never judge a person by external appearance alone. Everybody has a story, even a lifer (I so appreciated the organ donation storyline, it was extremely emotional and heartwarming at the same time). The moral of this show continues to be—no life, no matter whose it maybe—is beyond saving. I adore this show, and I cannot believe we are at the halfway point already, I do not want it to end.
