A Lovey Dovely Drama With Touches of Emotional Scenes
In *Youthful Glory*, a medical romance drama, the vulnerability of lead character Do Ji Uin becomes a magnet for women who long to protect their man. Much of the series left me puzzled—how could a drowning incident involving a friend trigger PTSD in Dr. Do? Shin Ye Eun, portraying Yook Ha Ri, was a refreshing discovery. Her natural, unblemished features stood out in an industry often marked by cosmetic enhancements. Yet the drama never revealed how she actually resolve the scandal that drew her back to the island.
The finale was predictable, but I admired the production team’s effort to make the surgical scenes strikingly realistic. Comic relief came through hooligan Yeom Byeong Cheol, balancing the heartbreak of Ha Ri’s grandmother’s passing. Nurse Um Jeong Seon, initially unsympathetic with her deep-seated inferiority complex, underwent a heartening transformation. Meanwhile, Dr. Do’s battle against the governor seemed hopeless until Yeom, in a surprising turn, provided crucial evidence—even at his own expense.
The drama frequently highlighted the young doctors bonding with islanders, underscoring the spirit of community. Ultimately, each staff departed for better career prospects or National Service, leaving Nurse Hwang Sin Hye as the clinic’s steadfast fixture.
