I think he's just a sweet plot device. :) I love how the kind doctors outweigh the grumpy ones. Even the prickly OB prof was acting like he was gonna miss Do Won when he was preparing to leave. 😅

"Dr. Oh's contaminated!" 😆

Except that she feels mind of threatened by him, haha. His goofy mistakes outshine her doing what she's supposed to! 😅 He keeps getting credit for messing up, haha. That would get annoying! 😅

He's getting his reward for being a pushover and being afraid to act on his feelings. 😉 Being a coward doesn't pay off in the end (even being the sweetest cowzrd there ever was). HE'S gonna have to "get it together" now. 😅 If he doesn't want to lose Yi Young, that is...

I thought that was a bit odd, too, and that wasn't even the NICU, right?

Do they also do C-sections in a full-on OR where they can't be with their baby right after? I thought they just did local anesthetics for C-sections so the mom could be awake immediately after. I've just always assumed that because there's a picture of my mom in the hospital awake as they're doing the C-section when she gave birth to me and my sister. 🤷‍♀️

I'm sure this will be no reply 1988 (also the same writer, yes?), but that drama has one of the most intense love triangles ever. 😅

She's a great character. Best of the profs, for sure, and just ahead of the awkward male GYN prof. 😅

Yeah, I think a lot of people are enjoying how different he feels as an ML! I enjoyed that scene of him with Professor Seo when she found out he did the surgery for the first time. Everyone else in the OR breathed a sigh of relief when he walked in because everyone knows how capable he is, but Do Won was secretly dying inside. Watching that scene again I saw him take a big, shaky breath before making the incision. Dude, the guy knows how to keep his cool! 😅 You can tell he's getting more awkward with Yi Young now, too, and having a harder time hiding his feelings... 😉

Yeah, someone you have fluttery feelings for versus the person you are committed to and see being with for the rest of your life. Theirs is a unique case, for sure.

After seeing 60 episodes of him in Seas9n 1, you do get quite attached. 😅 A lot of people seemed to dislike the arc with Ning Que rejecting the Bookworm Maniac, but I actually liked it because he had to come to terms with who Sang Sang was to him, and that arc in the story forced him to do that. It was unfortunate that he was so tall and she was short and child-like, though. It made their relationship feel a bit weirder than it needed to. 🫤

It's just a friendship story (with a LOT of F-bombs 😅).

I liked it. More than I thought I would. I liked that none of the friends got jealous of each other, they just remained loyal to each other the whole time fighting in the ways they knew how in order to protect each other (unlike Season 1). The boys' initial "becoming friends" felt like it happened very quickly and without much basis for things to take off, more quickly than in Season 1, but once things got going I didn't mind. I realized Baku didn't enter until what, Episode 3? So that gave us time to get to know Jun Tae and Hyun Tak who get a little less prominent once Baku enters the scene. It allowed us to get to know everyone. And there was plenty for them to bond over as the story progressed.

This was as much about Baku as Sieun. They shared the limelight this season. And yay for Su Ho to join the friend group!

I actually appreciated that most of the fighting happened almost exclusively off-campus in this, and I appreciated the lighter tone, too. Season 1 was too somber and melodramatic for me.

Ji Hoon brought the consistency so it felt like the same series despite all the new faces. 👏👏👏

P.S. Oh, and only one word makes up 75% of their vocabulary. Guess which one? 😅 They have a very small vocabulary pool in gangster/teenage boy/action dramas... 🤷‍♀️

I started Season 2 but in addition to the casting changes, it felt a bit off to me, and sad? The more I watched the more sad the events became, too? I didn't like the world against poor Sang Sang, and then even SHE changes because of her hidden identity changing her behavior. And Ning Que matures vastly but Dylan Wang feels so much... nicer? So I felt worse for the suffering he undergoes from what I saw versus Arthur Chen because in Season 1 he's such a jerk and he was so tough and resilient that it wasn't as hard watching him suffer. 😅

It is popular, but it's objectively not a good drama. 😅 The first review summed it up pretty well. I actually think BOFs is better than this one, but it has a similarly toxic/makjang-ish plot and over-the-top plot points. If you go into with that mindset, it can be enjoyed. There are lots of great actors in it before they're famous, and they all mostly do really well. I liked BOFs a lot more than this one, though. It's a lot less memorable. But after watching it, I totally got why it was popular. 😉

😅😅 The English in this was next level kdrama atrocious!

Ah, well, I don't want/need another subscription. I already have too many than I'd like! 😅 I want to try The Mysterious Lotus Casebook but it's also on iQIYI. 😔 Oh well! Maybe it'll come to Viki someday. :)

And the subtitles are awful compared to Viki and even Netflix. They aren't timed well and you don't always have time to read them and they'll fill the whole screen sometimes. 😅 I'm so spoiled with Viki! Amazon needs to do better. 🤨

I think you're describing people who don't possess what the modern world calls "privilege"; maybe another spin on your take is to see the drama's message this way: people (those with or without privilege!) can live rich, beautiful, fulfilling lives if they have people around them who love them unconditionally. 😉

Interesting, I was expecting Reply 1988 and Prison Playbook length since it's a lot of the same creative team. 😅

The FL improves only after a few episodes in Season 2 as well.
