The cutest and sweetest story about a girl's one-side love come true.
The story was fabulous, I espeacially loved how genuine she was with her love and how persevering she was. Even though she gut hurt she still never gave up and found her dream and now wants to follow it. Very beautiful story about how a crush changed a girl's whole course of life. And the acting was truly awesome. I loved the FL's acting the most, her expressions were just sooo on point and really really good. I really enjoyed the OST too. It's got a very nice feel to it. It had a lot of comedy in it. Overall It's a great drama with a very cute story about the one-side love of a girl come true and a truly truly entertaining rom com with a motivational drive and creative screenplay. + amazing direction and cinematography! Hats off to the cast and team! 🏥🧑⚕️🍙👩🎓💘💉Was this review helpful to you?
Since release I've watched it 208 times!
Update as of today 10/9/22 - I have watched this 208 times since release! Since Viki put the show on I have watched it so many times. Previously I watched it on blitzfansub.comOriginal Review: 9/2/2021
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love this little drama. I found it the day the first episode came out on January 14, 2020. I have watched this more times than any other show or movie in my 46 years of life! For me It’s definitely obsessive!
I bought the DVD box set back last year. I’ve have purchased and read the manga so to be able to see the drama adaptation makes it that much sweeter! I actually have a Satoh/Tendo Tattoo.
Satoh and Mone have so much chemistry. I watched them together in a previous comedy but this drama was written for them. I know Satoh is known for his action films which I love but for me romantic drama and comedies hit the mark! No one else could play Tendo and Mone is Nanase 100%. Due to Mone's age they changed some of it from the manga and normally I don't like when a book, manga, novel is changed but they did it right.
The supporting cast is awesome as well! The clothing and sets were great! The theme song is my ringtone!

The only JDrama that would love to binge again.
So I watched this while it was airing and it definitely was very engaging. I remember waiting every week to watch the next episode. Sakura nanase being refered to as the warrior and then her appearing in the costume was always so hilarious. Tendo Kairi was the typical cold ML but him being affectionate to patients was such a sight to see. What I liked about this drama is that they didnt sweep away the medical aspect of the drama. The medical and hospital scenes were relevant throughout the drama and also very realistic. All the patients and their stories felt so real. The ex was also not that over-bearing and hate worthy. Nothing was over the top or bland in the story. The cinematography was great specially when Kairi comes to Nanase's hometown and gives her a surprising backhug it was such a heart fluttering moment. I loved the way they shot that scene. I havent watched many jdramas and many of the times I was not that satisfied. But this Jdrama really hit the spot. Overall a good drama I would recommend to those who like me had hit or miss cases in Jdramas.Was this review helpful to you?
Cute little show, easy to binge.
Touching at times, ridiculous at others. Loved the characters and their relationships.FL is like an open book, so straightforward that it's completely disarming, even while causing second-hand embarrassment. She is unapologeticly her joyous and hopeful self.
ML is a dream, cool and level headed, attractive against all his seriousness, frowning, and sometimes even rudeness. The warmth radiating from inside becomes palpable.
In summary: fun, dynamic, good acting, enjoyed even clichés.

THE INCURABLE LOVE WE ALL DESIRE
I had never been a big fan of J-dramas and I had been putting off this for a while. Decided to give it a go and I absolutely loved the show. I am seeing the cast for the first time, I haven't seen any of their works before. Initially, I didn't like any of the leads but gradually I liked them. Especially Satoh Takeru has got a beautiful smile. Pity that his smile was shown more only in the finale episode.Nanase's character wasn't bland. But, I do feel its unrealistic about the plot: falling in love with a stranger within seconds and making him as a goal of your life. The idea might be dreamy but it was a bit hopeful; it made me believe in love and fate. A girl finally achieving her goal of marrying her first love and even having a successful career which enables her to work alongside her lover...didn't think I will like such a cheesy plot.
However, I couldn't bring myself to root for any of the side couples. The last couple of episodes were so good. I was laughing and blushing throughout episode 10 that my mother seriously considered sending me to an asylum. The OST is good and its music is often used as background score during dramatic scenes. Overall, a fine show!

One of the best romcoms
This was a really good show. Although sometimes the plot may seem a bit pushed, the comedy covers it well. Characters act very naturally and it is a show you'll want to binge in one shot. The music is also great (official hige-dandism). I think the story sometimes dragged but this was a small issue with all the comedy it had in each episode. If you like an funny, heartwarming show where you won't have to think too much, this is perfect.Was this review helpful to you?

I felt ashamed from beginning to end
I don't know much about Japanese love culture, but I was really bothered by the way the main character behaved. She was childish and immature, with no self-love. Everything revolved around the "powerful" protagonist. The fact that he called her an "imbecile" all the time made me angry. PS: Girls, don't want that kind of man.He didn't care enough about her. I just wanted to scream: "PLEASE SHOW SOME FEELINGS" A tired Japanese cliché as always.
We need a character whose life doesn't revolve around a man. The only thing that saves the drama is the medical environment. It was really interesting to follow the hospital.

I gave the series a second chance after 4 years.
Story:Nothing New Under the Sun, a funny and routine Japanese romance. It includes ALL possible tropes (serious car accident, one partner being ill and the other taking care of them, love triangle, stalker, one of the partners needing to study abroad, the shared futon forcing them to get closer, amusement park, the infamous ice cream accident, everything, everything, everything).
It is very reminiscent of the series "They Kiss Again" with the clumsy, unintelligent woman who makes mistakes and falls in love with an intelligent, apathetic, and even somewhat mean doctor. In the end, after much persistence and tireless efforts, she captures his heart.
Is it possible to capture the heart of someone out of our league? It is only possible in Asian movies.
Christian and educational aspect seen in Japanese series, and it is evident here as well. This worked well up to episode 6, combining humor and excitement, butterflies in the stomach, and tears, as it is still a hospital drama and something always happens.
As you grow older, you realize that the figure of the Virgin Mary( FL) represents the qualities that will bring you love and blessings in life. On the other hand, as you age, it becomes increasingly difficult to accept this figure because you discover your own flaws and your inability to be like the Virgin Mary, even when you try very hard. This can create frustration, and it’s intriguing to think about how the average Japanese person feels when this is constantly imposed on them. It's not easy. On the other hand, you can't judge it because a person (at least a normal one) aspires to this highest good.
Actors:
The actors are excellent, the main actor less so; he has moments where he feels like a manga character more than necessary, but later he loosens up.
The lead actress is excellent.
They have electrifying chemistry and are very compatible in the intimate scenes; it is noticeable to the extent that it is hard to understand why because it's a very handsome guy and a cute and average girl, not feminine, very unkempt. She very much resembles the actress Yoon Eun Hye at the beginning of her career, especially her smile, but the Korean actress was really attractive and appealing, she had something very feminine about her. In contrast, the Japanese actress is not attractive at all, and her clothing is not appealing either. But it's also something beyond that makes her physically less attractive. This is not accidental and comes up in one of their scenes.
Music:
The music is excellent, very invested and beautiful in various scenes; it works great. Towards the end, less so, and this happens a lot when they start overusing the main song just to play it.
Can you rewatch it? Yes, you can.
I think only their intimate scenes are worth rewatching because they are both full of passion and humor.
What doesn't work as well?
The endless collection of tropes and the continuous educational series that goes on and on, reaching the point where it becomes tedious and you have to skip scenes, until it really becomes a bit tiresome, which is a shame because until episode 6, it kept the flame alive. But from episode 7, there were scenes that should have been skipped, especially the car accident and the long study trip. It wasn't executed gracefully enough to watch like at the beginning. This series is not timeless; it also does not feature anything special except for the cute moments between them. I don't think they are capable of breaking out of their tropes, but still, I think that if there are already tropes, they should have added more lightness.

Camp so much camp
Thsi is so campy but in a good way. The story is really cute . The lead actress did a great job bringing her role to life she nailed innocent but also courageous when it came to what she wanted so well. Thats not always easy to do and the lead actor was so good he nailed his role. Im being vague I know but I dont like to give spoilers because it ruins it for people who are first time watchers so all ill say is this is a cute sweet campy love story worth watching and its really good for partners who like to watch series together.Was this review helpful to you?
When 'Demon' doctor Tendou Kairi is about to be too overbearing, and callous for words, he all of a sudden does or says something incredibly romantic, kind or protective. This addictive formula creates an enjoyable 10 episode series. There is a lot of screen time between the leads, creating emotional and physical chemistry. This romance was fully fleshed out compared to series double the length.
Yes, there is a large age gap (I'm guessing about 10 years), a power dynamics issue (he's one of the lead doctors in her department, and whilst she is technically managed by the head nurse, he has a lot of power over her workload), and an experience issue (he has romantic and sexual relationship experience, she does not). But, I actually never felt like a boundary was crossed in practice. He never removed her from work or put her on work based on their romantic relationship, jealousies etc., he didn't pressure her into sex.
In the end, you get to feel the vicarious thrill of your first romance being the best romance with a man you think is attractive, competent, wealthy and powerful, and willing to change and give it all up for you. It's exactly what an old-school shoujo should do, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

nice garbage
I went in knowing this would be good in the way that taco bell is good: actually really bad if you think about it, but fun at the time. I think my expectations were in the right place and I found it a mostly enjoyable distraction, and it did actually get a little bit better as the episodes went on.It had ever shoujo troupe in the book, so much so I started a note in my phone to track which troupes I thought they would use and I had a 75% prediction accuracy. There's a place in the world for silly little shows like this, and I respect it. Two years from now I'll completely forget this thing even existed, and that's okay.
