Lee Jaewook is a victim of his own class and talent. For such an extraordinary actor, viewers expects every drama of his that comes out to be extraordinary.

At the end, I don't really blame them. He's 28! he has demonstrated so much versatility since his debut, he still has his career ahead of him. So I hope those that loves him and his acting should keep rooting for him, for great scripts and success.

I love that the drama has a defined tone and theme and it's message it's never replaced. No matter how the plot progresses, it never lose its charm as a medical romcom/humane
healing drama. I hope they keep to it till the end

I'm absolutely loving the fast pace. We just concluded the fourth episode and it seems we already in episode 7/8.

Do you guys understand? Like we still have 8 solid episodes left for this drama yet it feels like we already know most things about these characters and Pyeondong-do island as a whole.

I have to give probs to the production for that level of efficiency.

And it also means there's still a lot to unpack, the journey is just starting.

I still stand on the fact that the love triangle some people are complaining on is purely non existent. I've watched the first four episodes and there's nothing like a love triangle. We already know who our FL heart truly yearns for since episode 2, she's been pretty obvious and straight forward about it. She isn't torned between between two men, except you aren't watching the show carefully. A scenario where the girl is only interested in one of the guy and the other guy is just having a one sided crush is to me not what I will call a love triangle.

I think the complain should be FL and SML having alot scenes together rather than this love triangle rant cause it is non existent so far.

The fast pace is even what is making the drama more intriguing. It's never dulling and you keep wondering what will come next if we get this much for just 4 episodes. It's not a downside.

And people complaining of chemistry, you should be use to it by now. Just some people ranting for nothing like they do under most shows

Personally, I believe the depiction of the growth and development of the relationship between our ML and FL is one of the best written lead couple relationship I've seen so far this year. Like its not just that fancy kind of Cinderella fairytale type of love where they immediately starts liking each other.

Their relationship was built from scratch and was set up well, how they respect, relate to and understand each other and how they are becoming each other safe haven episode by episode is a joy to watch. Sometimes they fight and misunderstand each other but in the end they will always talk their way through it make up. It's so subtle yet matured, heartwarming and real. It makes their eventual falling in love make sense, like you can't question why they will eventually fall for each other

The drama is so humane and I'm loving every moment of these characters, from their strength and their weaknesses , good sides and bad sides, their inner kindness, insecurities, fear,
guilt, misguided emotions and judgement and their development (the way the learn from their mistake, to love and heal) You watch this type of show and the characters feels like real people.

A love triangle between two guys and a one girl occurs only when the girl is at least a bit torned between both of them which is not the case here

So people watch ep4 preview and gets annoyed that they are pushing for a love triangle more and more when it's just the production gas lighting us to keep the buzz growing 😅

Doctor Chiyeon just has a one sided crush on Hari, no matter the time they spend together it will remain a one sided crush until he gets over it and hopefully get a partner on his own (someone like me won't really call that a love triangle)

Every episode is actually showing us how Ji Ui and Hari is getting closer and closer from mutual understanding to genuine friendship and soon love.

It's just that there's alot to also unveil as regards the past of these characters and I hope they will wrap it all together well

Exactly like there's no interaction between them so far that suggests a love triangle

Episode 3 shows there's more to Yuk Hari we don't know yet and I can't wait for the reveal, I believe there's a lot to most of the characters we are yet to find out.

My favourite part from this episode is seeing the villagers development and the subtle mutual understanding and respect that is building between them and the health workers

So I just finish episode 3 feeling fulfilled because it had the most character development so far: we got to see the downside, history, motivation and subtle development of various characters (SML, ML especially). An episode so basic, non flashy and simple but yet carried alot of lesson and emotional moments and I say I should check the comments section here to share my thoughts and listen from others and most of all I'm seeing is just people ranting unnecessary frustration because of a non existent love triangle. 'sml and fl spend time together' yes that was because they went for a medical assignment together duh.

Why are we so dramatic in the kdrama fandom. Sml obviously has a one sided crush on FL while FL obviously doesn't reciprocate. She is being herself around him just like everyone else . A character that is full of compassion and always want to help those around her. The ending scene even told us why she decided to go on the trip with him the first place and thats because she was worried about the ML trauma as pertaining journey on boats and seas. Like how is this scenarios automatically become a love triangle! Unless I have forgotten what a love triangle actually mean.

I heard a different thing from another person though, so I don't know which is true 😅

LJW is who he is. One of the best actors of his generation and whether you think your fave is more attractive than him or not, it doesn't change the fact that he is where he is because of his insane acting talent, strong screen presence and charisma: that's why he keeps getting lead roles and he is still adored and loved despite some of his questionable script choices.

Instead of talking down on someone's look and talent, use that energy to support your fave and pray that his or her own time to shine will come.

I doubt this was written by a matured person 😅

Rewatching episode 1 and 2, I really have to appreciate Lee Jaewook talent in using subtle facial expression to covey emotions.
Watching him is such a joy. Like he is such an insane actor, you just know and feel it .

And Shin Ye Eun is so natural, she merges with every character she plays with perfection.

Went and watched all the trailers that was released before the drama started airing and I was even more convinced that there wont be any draggy love triangle in this. It may exist for few episodes but in a very subtle way, Chiyeon is bound to back off early.

I was glad it was confirmed in a recent interview that Hari and Ji Ui will notice and acknowledge their love for each other as early as ep5/6. I like when lead couples get together very early into the show

I think you are being dramatic about it, but then I do understand and respect your opinion.

I doubt the location is A.I, they film the show on a real island, there are even behind the scene footage that the production company uploaded earlier.

As for the writing, definitely not. The drama is adapted from a popular webtoon on kakao.

A. I was was only applied in few scenes so far and it wasn't human related

It's medical romcom/healing drama. So I do say you should pass it if you looking for medical focused show
