This show isn't very good, in my opinion, for many reasons. However, most of those reasons stem from the show being extremely, extremely main-character centric. You'll notice the same thing in many other K-dramas, where the MCs, either the ML or the FL, will become central in situations that shouldn't really involve them. For example, when a husband tries to get his wife out of a car she's stuck in, instead of doing whatever he can to break the window and get to her himself, he starts running around like a headless chicken looking for help, so that the ML can insert himself into the situation. I get that the husband needed help, he couldn't have got her out of the car just by himself. But he just stood by ineffectually. Every surgery in the hospital needs to happen with the ML present; whenever somethng needs to be done, all the other characters scream at the ML for help or - which is more annoying - they yell at him and cuss him out whenever something goes wrong, despite the fact that he was the only one who did anything.
I'm not far enough in the show to know exactly what happened to the ML's family, and why his brother resents him for it, all I know is that I resent the brother now. All he seems to do is scream and yell and curse at the ML, and it gets really old really quickly. The same applies for the hospital director. The guy is so cartoonishly evil it's not even funny. He sists in his office sipping tea, in his pristine white gown, occassionally giving interviews to the press (how????), and plots to destroy the ML's life, because reasons. I get that not everybody can be so annoyingly self-sacrificing do-gooders as the ML, but the hospital director isn't a person so much as a collection of plot devices and obstacles that the leads have to contend with. The same goes for that annoying sister? of his. I understand, your son just died, but I hate you anyway. If there's one thing K-dramas do well, it's creating annoying older female characters that scream like banshees and criticize the leads unfarily, without ever doing anything themselves.
The show is unrealistic, and it gets really old really fast. I don't care about the characters, they don't seem interesting, especially the ML is extremely one-note. I'm not even sure why I'm still watching.
