So many cool characters with cool abilities. It's like watching the X-Men at times. The bald guy even harkens back to Charles Xavier. But the most interesting guy is the one who claims he has no martial arts. A veritable walking jianghu encyclopaedia.
The chaebol thing is just to justify how the FL has so much money. In the webtoon, it was the same, she had to…
To me they spent rather too much time on the whole "aunty challenges FL for supremacy" thing. It's one thing for FL to be rich, it's another thing to dwell on the family infighting. I don't mind her being the "chosen one" but I'm just wondering about its relevance to the whole narrative.
It's not a deal breaker but it's only a 6 episode first season so you'd expect a bit more discipline in the writing.
I think the show could have been better as a whole if the character development for the core characters was better written and if the showrunners were a lot more decisive about where to go with Bai Zhu and Xiao Yan's dynamic. They teased the push and pull all the way to the end which doesn't TBH paint Xiao Yan in very good light. It raises uncomfortable questions the character. The romance itself was a point of contention all throughout the drama and could have been a source of healing for her in the way that it was a mechanism of growth for him. Towards the end she seemed more like a reactive figure and someone just for Bai Zhu to fall in love with. It's a case of "Physician, Heal Thyself."
The show was strong on the patient stories and all the social issues that their backstories highlighted but far weaker on developing the core supporting characters. The younger doctors and nurse were basically comic relief and figures of mockery.
There are definitely great action set pieces in these first two episodes but the set-up feels clunky. Not sure why the show really needs a chaebol angle at all. Aside from the fight scenes, the best parts in these first two episodes are the flashbacks to a common past. I don't feel that the script/storytelling is on par with the visual effects.
I don't think it's an unpopular opinion. At the very least half of us (more probably) think that the finale was…
I understand it alright. I am a long time science fiction fan and have watched many major Hollywood sci-fi franchises over several decades on film and tv. I've watched just about every K drama with sci-fi elements. I even read sci-fi novels from time to time. I have no problems understanding anything in this department.
What I understand is that it is the responsibility of the writer to be clear, not on me to try and fill the gaps for her.
I just don't like sloppy writing. I don't like the egregious lampshading in the finale. If the writer had any courage of her convictions, we should have seen all the hard work done much earlier.

"Any theory is valid" That perfectly sums up my problem with the show. In one fell swoop they changed the entire narrative emphasis. It's too sloppy for my liking.

Reminds me of Bulgasal.
