I'm starting this today as its leaving Netflix on 10/11. Thoroughly confused so I had to read a part of your review…
Hope you enjoy it and that you are also doing well! :)

you can literally just change the settings?
I don't know why either. I checked it a few times, but to no avail. At least, I'm getting to watch it. But thanks anyway! :) Also, just out of curiosity, I watched a few minutes of the dubbed version and compared it with the subtitles. They were very different. Yet another reason why dubbed versions should be banned.

Thanks! Disney doesn't have another version, which was the website I went through that took me to Hulu.. When I went directly to Hulu, it showed both.! Wish it was on Netflix instead, so I wouldn't have to deal with all of these ads, but I'll still take it. Thanks again!

Thank you!I completely agree with you. It drives me nuts that people get away with so much so easily and people…
You echoed my sentiments exactly! I was also extremely excited when I started this series! It was a big letdown.

Jeers to Hulu and Disney for giving us a "dubbed" version! We want the original Korean!
Replying to Coco Aug 2, 2024
I have read this review, all I can tell is that you may not have watched this show in Koreans' view but Just American's…
I'm afraid not. I've lived and worked in Korea and have seen many K-dramas. The acting wasn't good, which I would have stated even if it was an American, British, or any other show. K-Dramas traditionally have fantastic performances, easily matching or even outdoing their American/British counterparts. This wasn't one of them. I have been watching movies/TV shows for nearly 50 years and have written hundreds of reviews, as well as being a novelist. I can recognize good acting and writing. This show had neither one.

Genuinely can't believe such a terrible show has such high scores. The law aspect alone was completely laughable.…
Thank you. Yeah, I can't understand the scores either.

Your review is so much of what I feel as I close this drama. So many missed opportunities to make it more wholesome.…
I completely agree. Well said. Good series but only scratched the surface of what it could have been.
On Dr. Romantic May 2, 2024
Title Dr. Romantic
I'm curious that a doctor, prone to hallucinations and self-injury, would ever be allowed to treat patients unless she could prove that she was in stable condition. Based on the scene in episode 2, this is obviously something that occurs periodically and without warning, which is an extremely dangerous situation to put the lives of people in. The sheer absurdity that a "wise" doctor in Dr. Kim would allow something like this, is beyond ludicrous and reckless. It's something no true doctor/hospital would ever allow. Dropped this series right after this episode. Writers really need to do their research!

I even consulted a friend of mine who is a doctor, and she just laughed and said, "Unless a hospital wants to open itself to all kinds of malpractice lawsuits, any doctor with a mental illness would need irrevocable proof that the doctor could perform all duties without risk to the patient. Obviously, the writer has taken liberties without doing their due-diligence, which is so typical in the entertainment industry. It's like asking a mechanic to write about being a doctor. Unfortunately, most medical shows do this."

Excellent review!
Thank you. Given the high ratings, I already knew that this would be an "unpopular" review.

Title Good Doctor
I'm speaking here as an autistic person, my score is 7 out of 10.Also note:* I've heard a lot of good things about…
I just finished the 12th episode, and I agree with everything you said.

The FL treats Si On like a child or a pet. She never attempts to empathize or understand him at all. In short, she never really treats him like a person. This is different from ML in Extraordinary Attorney Woo who treats her and ACCEPTS her as she is! The FL in this drama is constantly trying to change him (or to use an even worse word, "fix" him). In many ways, the FL (for me) was even worse than Dr. Kim (who is also verbally abusive).

I have been waiting 12 episodes to see if either Dr. Kim or Dr. Cha will begin to try to see Dr. Park as a person, rather than as someone who needs to be "fixed" or "changed."

It doesn't matter if you're autistic or not, nobody should ever attempt to change someone else. There is only one person who needs to change: ourselves.

I also didn't like how Dr. Cha was upset that Dr. Park wasn't jealous about her blind date. Jealousy is NEVER an indication of love. Not ever. It's indication of ego, possessiveness, and control--three things that love can never be. She behaves like a 16-year-old high school girl who really needs to grow up.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo was a far more progressive and enlightening series than this one. What amazes me more is how ignorant these medical doctors are.

Thank you for this enlightening post. :)

Review Start-Up
I agree. There was just too little of the interactions between them.
On Bae Suzy Mar 17, 2024
Person Bae Suzy
Not a huge fan of Suzy Bae, whom i've now seen twice with the most recent being in "Start Up." She's a "decent" actress at best. She had zero chemistry with either of her two male leads, and her expressions are often too bland, even showing discomfort and/or disinterest. She just doesn't seem to have the range of so many other (and far more talented) K-actresses. I guess I don't understand her appeal or popularity unless is simply because of looks (which are okay at best). She looked so uncomfortable in "Start Up."

I'll definitely pass on any future K-dramas with her. Hope she finds something to broaden her range and put her in contention as a viable actress.

You know that's cool and all, but why are you commenting all that on her page...
Well said. Some people can handle constructive criticism. Some can't.
Replying to interregnum Jan 31, 2024
Yeah, when the love story for your leads has enough material to fill a two-hour movie, but then you try to stretch…
I like Our Beloved Summer because, for me, it focused on the fact that you have to love and take care of yourself before you can love someone else. The two leads realized this and realized that they had to heal themselves first. For me, the romance was cute, but secondary to the central theme of healing, which is why (for me, anyway) the series worked so well.

Who said you have to go to a big city in order to be successful? Not only is this deluded thinking, it’s also…
Well said!

I love this review and cannot wait watch Goblin. Extremely well written review!
Thank you! Trust me, after the slow/set-up first episode, things begin to take off! :)
On Jeon Yeo Been Jan 15, 2024
Person Jeon Yeo Been
What a mesmerizing actress! I saw her first in "Vincenzo" and then "Be Melodramatic," but as I am watching, "A Time Called You," I'm blown away by her versatility and how she captivates every scene! It also took me an episode to realize that she was playing both roles! That's how good she is! She also has great taste in movies (The Dead Poet's Society) too! Can't wait to see more of her acting chops! I also love the fact that she plays strong, female characters, which is badly needed in today's world.
