A Medical Drama the Delivered
I went into this expecting it to just be another typical medical drama that focused more on drama than the care itself. I was waaay wrong.Baek Gang Hyeok isn't your typical doctor. He has a secret and a childhood trauma that has shaped him to be the genius trauma surgeon that he is today which is why the Minister of Health and Welfare chose him for the job.
Seeing how tragic the trauma units are in Korea's hospitals she brings in Baek Gang Hyeok to rectify the mess and get it back to where it needs to be. Hospitals have become greedy and filled with corruption instead of focusing on the main point...to save lives.
Watching Baek Gang Hyeok bulldoze through the lazy and corrupt staff at a university hospital to save lives is a rush. He's blunt and straight to the point and even rude but is filled with empathy and compassion for each and every person that is in his care.
This is exactly the kind of medical drama that I want to see. I want to feel the anxiety of possibly losing a patient when they are against all odds. I want to feel the joy when they succeed in saving a life. I want to feel that rush of racing to the scene of an accident. This drama gave me all the feels including some laughs and sadness and frustration.
Ju Ji Hoon (Baek Gang Hyeok), Choo Young Woo ("Anus" and "Number One"), along with Ha Young (Nurse Cheon Jang Mi) did and excellent job delivering what I wanted to see. I grew to love all three characters quickly and immensely enjoyed watching them interact. There was plenty of character growth that I admired and wanted to continue watching.
Honestly, 8 episodes wasn't enough for me. I wanted it to continue to at least 12 or even 16. It was just that good. There were no boring moments for me. I really hope there is a 2nd season.
