Yes there are a lot of inaccurate things being shown.

It's the first drama in a while that felt short to me - like they could have added more episodes no problem to add more clarity and character development. I enjoyed it and I kind of like the ending even if some are frustrated.

It's rough. I thought it was being a bit dramatic with the emergency appendectomy but then I watched Episode 4... the first few minutes - I don't understand how the guy survived that. It's an aortic rupture and he's on a remote island that's likely a few hour away from the hospital. And then at the end - maybe it's the lighting or whatever but why did she amputated immediately? Did I miss something?

I know it's not a remake but this is where I appreciate Japan's "Clinic on the Sea" because I don't remember it being nearly as dramatic and over the top.

I guess the first episode was better than I expected it to be. For whatever reason I tend to nitpick any drama where medicine is a major feature. I guess when compared with all the overly dramatic and unrealistic medical dramas - this is very good by comparison. Still early days and only 1 episode though.

Yeah, the show was Janice Wu. Her funny expressions and interactions was the main attraction of the show in my view. She was entertaining when it felt like there was little movement on the story/plot.

A continuation with her gone seems silly and like it's bound to disappoint. I think they should have new characters for this new cast. Re-shoot some of the season 1 stuff so you can have the first 1-4 episodes be a quick summary of 'season 1' (with the new cast) to set up this new show. Keep the pregnancy and the major storyline but just add a quick backstory in the first few episodes... tons of shows do that (especially with kid actors playing the adults as kids).

Was the page taken down? Just stumbled across it and looks like it could be interesting.

It's late so maybe my memory sucks but I could have sworn the movie was mostly in English. I had no idea it was a Chinese movie... Chinese-French... never would have guessed.

I watched it because I liked time travel concepts but it's a forgettable if slightly below average story. I don't really remember any stand-out performances. The woman playing Su Lin was OK, Mark Chao was OK, the guy playing the teen wasn't as good. The story wasn't great either but I am a sucker for anything time-travel no matter what country makes it.

I mean I'm a fan of the lead actress and the supporting cast seems good... not sure about the 2 guys or the other girl listed... also not sure because it's a medical drama. The trailer looked filled with too much ridiculous drama.

This might be one of the few cases where I'll end up picking the Japanese version over the Korean version if the trailer is accurate to how the show will be.

Dramas out of Hong Kong and Japan - I find they're generally boring and devoid of emotion or the ridiculous story makes me roll my eyes. Soap operas, medical dramas and dramas with a large number of boy/girl band stars in lead roles are also ones that I'm skeptical about. Edit: I don't have a hard set criteria but I've become more skeptical of dramas that meet any of those criteria.

It's off to a slow start... assuming the introduction and description are accurate and they will be forced into situations together.

I think the male lead is taking too much heat from viewers where he and his wife should share blame. It's a marriage in trouble and I think the writers have done a decent job setting this up.

I didn't mind the first few episodes but it slowly started to lose it after that.

That is the worry. There are new episodes that should be slowly subbed as the week goes on but is that over now? Have they moved somewhere else?

The Facebook page (SJDK Fansub?) I was watching this on seems to have disappeared. Has it disappeared for anyone else?

I liked it. The guy was stiff and like you said - a lot of flaws but the drama has a charm to it and it works.

Japanese shows are a tough sell for me. Too many ridiculous back-stories combined with bland/meandering plots (probably a symptom of manga/anime based stories).

I thought this was good. The characters were explained and defined really well and I thought the show occasionally tried to get us to think about certain themes/problems.
The mystery and ending were well done but personally I found it a bit telegraphed.

This is pretty good. I think they're doing a decent job mimicking each other.

The 3 youngest members who I rate the lowest are obviously all new to acting so hopefully they improve and surround themselves with people so they can improve.

But a good story could have really helped them. It's not there. I don't know what manhwa is but this story just drags

The problems start with a lack of direction in the show. I'm not sure what the writers and directors are going for... it's just not working and it's not good.

So now we have to look at the cast and can this cast support it?
Krystal - she has the easiest role that doesn't require good acting.
Gong Myung - awful. He has to play a much harder role though.
Im Joo Hwan - he's much older and the experience shows. The strongest of the main cast members.
Nam Joo Hyuk - overrated. Not convincing. One dimensional in his career so far.
Shin Se Kyung - I think she's alright. Her face always seems to be puffy which makes it hard to read her facial expressions but I would put her down as the 2nd strongest main cast member.

For me right now this is below average/poor but not awful. I'll see it through just because I almost always finish things.

Dec 31 2017 was a placeholder and Dec 31 2018 is the new placeholder.

The thing here is China has a 'Korean Entertainment Ban' going on since last year. Actors fall under entertainment. China won't approve any TV show with a South Korean actor/actress.

So we have to wait for the ban to be lifted and then there are questions like: will season 2 still happen? How much was filmed before this ban? None, some, most or all of it? Will the cast come back for the show or have some moved on?

That's why you see the move from 2017 to 2018 in the air date on here. Because it is unlikely this will be on TV before the end of 2017. It is possible we never see season 2.

After a few episodes it's starting to get repetitive. It's a shame.
