It's pretty much perfect in all categories.

If you want to get political, how about telling the whole story? Like how it all started because the Hamas terrorist organization that governs Gaza kidnapped, raped, disfigured, and slaughtered women attending a music festival, dragging them across the border into Gaza. Killing the children and torturing and killing the men.

Thank you. I can certainly understand the second reason. Particularly for long shots outdoors where sound equipment like mic booms would be seen, and even medium shots where baffles don't block enough of the noise. But wouldn't you think that learning to speak in the dialect/accent of their character would be part of the actor's job?

Why is it necessary to dub the actresses if the drama is written in Mandarin and the actresses are speaking Mandarin?

Ancy Deng is a terrific actress! At only 19 years of age, she carries this drama with all the confidence and charisma of the older, more experienced actresses that are usually cast in historical dramas. And the camera absolutely loves her. This girl is a STAR.

Not only do I not understand the hype for the drama, but also for Park Shin Hye's performance. I think she was miscast and that another actress with some prior experience playing an anti-heroine might've made me stick around a bit longer.

Great concept; too much on-screen violence. Someone teach filmmakers that violent acts that are implied can be just as shocking as over-long scenes of violence that are shoved in your face.

Really excellent. I hope the 2nd season is picked up by another Korean company before an American company decides to produce an inferior adaptation.

Sure. And I'm a fan of several besides Ha Ji-won. But this page is about Hospital Ship and Ha Ji-won. Anyway, here's some kick-ass fun compliments of Ha Ji-won.

Not claiming she's a great kisser. Claiming she doesn't need to kiss to show what her character is feeling.

Imo, Bai Lu and Zhao Lu-si, two c-drama super-stars, are the best kissers. K-dramas are, comparatively, much more conservative.

Sometimes a kiss is redundant. Like when Ha Ji-won really, really likes her co-star.

The K-drama kiss experts are sure a tough crowd! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z7kbUfa7Kk

She rarely plays characters in k-dramas for whom romance (and kissing) is that important. In this one, she's actively uninterested in having a relationship and the ML has to work his dimples really hard to get her to look at him even. She made one k-drama that is a rom-com, The Time When We were Not in Love, and she aces it, so maybe watch that. Secret Forest is her comeback after a 3-year break during which she was recovering from the sudden death of her father and her younger brother's suicide, and it took several episodes before she got into her role. Her movie, Love So Divine is a sexy, hilarious rom-com which you might enjoy. As you can see, I'm a major Ha Ji-won fan.

Excellent from beginning to end, although the 2nd season never happened.

Yang Zi is one hell of an actress!

I see. Thank you. If I were a c-drama producer I'd definitely think twice before making one with vampires.

Thank you. Considering the amount of uncensored blood that's spilled in historical c-dramas, the fangs must hold great significance.

HSH was very good as the 2nd FL in The World of the Married, which had a really great script. But I've dropped two other dramas in which she was the FL. I think, for me, it isn't so much her acting as her choice of dramas. Soppy, depressing romance and extreme violence and sadism just don't appeal to me. Nevertheless, I like the idea of 2 FLs, so I'll give her new drama a chance.
