Doctor's Mine

What a bullshit script and waste of time watching this...

I have not to tell you that this is a cliché BL with the worst things in it: An alleged rape, abnoxious woman and a story which is so boring and unrealistic that it begs the question: Who did greenlit this project?

I can't fault the actors, they did the best they could with this script. But pardon me: If you - as a brother - think your little brother was raped, you would call the police and then there would be a medical examination and so on - To keep the pretense of a rape for two episodes is the worst I have seen in any BL... Besides you can't rape someone without waking him up if he is not drugged - and he was not. So the premise is bullshit. And there is this annoying girl who got rejected but then suddenly she turns to her best (girl)friend and ends up a lesbian - OMG! How dumb can it be?

And because I was pissed at this, it's a waste of time to get into the gritty details of the rest of the story which was just awful and one cliché after the next. This was drunk writing, I can not explain it any other way. I know the actors need food on their tables, but when you read this script, can you really think that's a good idea to take on the role? I bet it was contractual obligations and they had to do this series.

The only thing I can't fault this series is the production quality which was really good but such a waste of money and effort. If you haven't seen this series yet, just don't. All the high ratings are just fangirls dreaming of cute boys/handsome men and nothing else, because it can't be for the story.

Beautiful Chemistry Makes Doctor’s Mine an Enjoyable Watch

Story
I just finished all 10 episodes and I’m glad we got a happy ending for all four couples. The story itself was not the best. The plot felt weak, and the jealous female characters were annoying and unnecessary. The SA flashback in episode 5 added nothing meaningful and could have been left out. It also felt unrealistic that all six boys and two girls began as straight but eventually turned gay. This is something that only seems to exist in BL worlds and not in real life.

Acting and Cast
Despite its flaws, I truly enjoyed the series. All four male leads were stunning, and the chemistry between MonPak and LeeArm stood out above the rest. Their connection was intense and believable, and their NC scenes were both hot and realistic. Some of the kiss and NC scenes in this drama rank among the best I have seen this year.

Characters
Two aspects of the story stayed with me long after the final episode. The first was the way the two brothers met their lovers. Knight’s first encounter with Mild was tender and fateful. As a child, he nearly drowned, and Mild saved him, planting the seed of love in his heart. Per’s story, on the other hand, was far more abrupt. His first meeting with Kan happened in a car during a sexual encounter, and from that glance onward, his entire orientation seemed to shift. Unrealistic, yes, but in the world of this drama, I accepted it.

The second aspect was Per’s mother. Many viewers will hate her, but I could not bring myself to. Per was her only son. She dreamed of seeing him with a wife, welcoming a daughter-in-law and holding a grandchild. Instead, he changed in a way she could not easily understand. From an Asian cultural perspective, this is not a simple transition. Generational expectations, family honor, and social image weighed heavily on her.
Per never had a true heart-to-heart with her, which explained her resistance. When she slapped Kan in the hospital, it was not out of cruelty but out of anger and fear. Her son had nearly died, and in her eyes, Kan was at fault. I did not agree with her actions, but I understood them. She wanted only the best for her child. In the end, I was glad they finally had the conversation they needed, and that she came to accept Kan and her son’s relationship. Many fans continue to despise her, but I believe her character was written with realism. If she had accepted Kan from the beginning, the story would have lost its emotional depth and its rollercoaster of drama.

Overall
This was not the greatest BL series, but it was still a fun and engaging watch. It gave me moments that were touching, frustrating, and unforgettable. I look forward to seeing the cast in future projects, carrying with me both the flaws and the sparks of brilliance that made this series memorable.
