You come for Dr. Kim & S1 cast+ the compelling storyline.
Once more I'm wondering why I watched this when I really don't like hospital genre dramas.[ I blame it on needing a break from an over abundance of historical dramas !]
Other reviewers said that it was better than Season 1 . Well, that may be true , but only id you enjoy a chaotic mess !To me the whole drama had me asking myself: " HOW are these people doctors ?"
The best & most interesting characters are Dr. Kim & the left over cast from Season 1
[though the lead nurse in this season, is too bossy & throws her feelings around like weapons]
While the over arching story IS compelling, I still say ( as with Season 1) there is too much blood and close ups of surgeries. Ridiculously, the blood doesn't stick to innards & the skin looks very fake. How many times must we see & hear blood squirting when they make the incisions ? The only thing the new characters shine at are the chaotic scenes ,so sadly, in all other ways they are lacking . Perky smiley newbie has a bland personality & her romance is just flat line. The male lead is an unappealing brooding ,morose character. The Female lead is annoying .Everything must be her way. Really the Lead's romance is nonsensical & lacking .She does not miss her boyfriend when she is away from him to the point where she Never once texts, or calls.
One of the long term doctors dedication to the hospital didn't seem noble to me as he chose the hospital over his family. It was appalling to me that when he was considering leaving, his colleagues called him a traitor for even considering leaving -as if his family were not important at all !
.There are happy endings for the couples, but don't expect much more than a morsel of warm fuzzies.
Edit this to 13 episodes, shorten the surgery scenes & infuse the (new) characters with some personalities that we can care about & then you might have a drama worth recommending .
*** Heavy Spoiler**
The group of doctors save a dear friend who has a no resuscitation will, and so the poor man has to die all over again some days later, but all is forgiven because the other people get to say goodbye-so THEY are happy (ish)!!
