Messy medical drama on life support that's painful to watch

I have only watched 6 episodes so will update this review but I am having to force myself to continue - I want to see i it gets worse or better! The characters, in particular the ML, FL and Master Kim, are arrogant, self-centered and melodramatic. The hospital operates in such a BS way - stripping credibility from the characters, the set up and the story itself. Would doctors really step away from treating a critical patient to ring another doctor and yell at them or plead with them? No, a nurse or the administrator would call while Drs got on with doing what they could for the patient. I don't like melodrama and I think that's why this drama doesn't work for me. It's not a true medical drama or a romance. It's a drama about dysfunctional people looking for absolution or validation in their work - and so doing a crap job at it while being super sensitive and petty, and making everything all about themselves and their broken relationships and aspirations. I am only watching now to see whether the drama can be rescued from the slow motion train wreck it is currently, and because I am interested in later seasons (which seem to get better according to reviews).
