I placed spoilers at the end of this review.
Overall, this was a very enjoyable series. The first episode really grabbed my attention which kept me engaged to watch more. They also did a great job introducing all of the characters. Some of the main characters start off unlikable, but the script does a decent job explaining the reasonings behind their actions. For example: I didn’t like Oh Yi Young at first but grew to like this character as the series progressed. I thought the script was good with the exception of a few aspects. My main complaint is it did not fully focus on all four main characters. This was supposed to be about all of their experiences as first-year residents, but I felt the focus was mostly on Oh Yi Young in many of the episodes. They do show some character development with Pyo Nam Gyeong, Um Jae II, and Kim Sa Bi, but most of the screentime was devoted to Oh I Young. My minor complaint is they didn’t fully explore the four main characters’ backstories. This is mostly due to another minor complaint which is the romantic storyline in the script. However, the cast was incredible.
Random Notes:
You don’t have to see “Hospital Playlist” to see this series.
It was fun to see all of the actors’ quest spots from the parent series. The good thing is they were written into the script without the need to see the parent series.
This will probably be a very unpopular opinion. I enjoyed this more than “Hospital Playlist”. It took a while for me to get into that series and also found some section boring.
As much as I would like a second season to further explore Pyo Nam Gyeong, Um Jae II, and Kim Sa Bi’s characters’ backstory/development, I would not be heartbroken if we don’t get it.
******Potential Spoiler Alert******
I was not a fan of the romantic storyline involving Oh Yi Young and Koo Do Won. This is weird because I like the characters separately and the actors had good on-screen chemistry. However, I found their storyline not very interesting and it removed the focus, and screentime, from the other three main characters.
