If you like medical dramas with romance, emotional growth, and a strong female lead who slowly comes into her own, then you’ll probably enjoy this drama. I liked this one overall, but I won’t lie — it definitely tested my patience at times. It’s one of those older-format K-dramas where you can feel the episode count, but when it’s good, it’s really good.

LIKES
-I liked the romance overall, especially once it actually settled
-Strong character growth, especially for the female lead
-The emotional moments worked and felt earned
-The acting was solid and their chemistry was so nice.
-I liked seeing the medical world paired with personal healing
When they were together and communicating, it was really nice

DISLIKES
-Why is no onr talking about this man falling for an underaged girl. It was not tastefully done at all. I cam't belive they tried to act like that's okay.
-Too much breaking up and getting back together
-Had to start skipping towards the end. Watching became a chore.
-The push-and-pull went on longer than it needed to. I got frustrated watching them separate when they didn’t need to

FINAL THOUGHTS
I did like this drama, but it’s not one I would rush to rewatch. It’s a good example of an older K-drama style where the romance is there, the emotions are there, but the pacing and repeated conflicts can wear you down. Still, the journey was meaningful, the ending was satisfying, and I don’t regret watching it.
Overall, a good watch if you’re in the mood for a medical romance, just be prepared for some patience-testing moments along the way.
Rating: 7.5/10 (enjoyable, but dragged too long)
