I have so many things to say about this drama but the most important is: This is not bad at all!!! I feel SBS killed this with the constant delay in releasing the eps especially because it was one ep per week at that. This is the sort of show that needs to keep the tension momentum building but because of the delays, it fizzled out. So do not mind the rating this is a solid 8.5 to 9.0 rating. There were some things that I did not like for example Muchan and Joo Hyun were the perfect tag team but during the second half, they were nowhere near each other. Jiyeon And Haejin had crazy good chemistry. Honestly, this trio were absolutely fire together which is why I don't get why people keep saying this is bad. The writing may not have been ideal in some parts but the actors were ACTORING. I don't know if this is an Amazon show thing, this is only my second time watching one after Island so I may be wrong, but why do they feel the need to rush through the ending so they get to have enough minutes to hint at a -let's be real- highly unlikely second season. Besides
that, I don't think the ending is bad, and -THAT- death didn't feel that unnecessary. Was it FAIR? no. Did I cry? Absolutely YES. Did that person deserve better? OF COURSE. But I think that the main theme of this show was injustice and SADLY we got that right to the bitter end. And I like that because it made us feel exactly as Kwon Seok Joo: WRONGED!

I'm on ep 11 and honestly, I don’t see the chemistry between Dr Oh and Dr Park. I mean if anything it looks very one-sided to me, so much that it’s making me pull my hair and scream at Dr. Oh: “GIRL VALUE YOURSELF THIS MAN HAS CERO INTEREST IN YOU, HE ONLY HAS EYES FOR ONE WOMAN”! There WERE some moments in the beginning that I thought MAYBE Dr Oh was the endgame, but then Dr. Han appeared and it became PRETTY clear to me that ship had sailed and it went down the drain. She's running around for him, calling him, defending him from HER boyfriend and he barely pays attention to her. Also, I ADORE Park Haejin but his character needs a LOT of improvement if she ends up going back to him. That extremely handsome face won't be enough. I need to add, that Dr Park devil may care attitude is sometimes a little TOO reckless, anybody else without plot armor would've been fired by now.

I'm on the last episode of The Killing Vote and I don’t wanna finish it because then I will have to wait I don’t know how long until PHJ's next project 🥲. I hope he’ll do a good sageuk next! But no matter what I’m already anxiously awaiting his next project!!

I’m going to think of the what-ifs if I want to. Why can’t I? I haven’t even finished this I’m on ep14 but this is way too camp and all over the place. Yes, it’s bad but the cast can do so much with that cursed script. That’s the thing about these Netflix dramas lately, all about known faces, good cinematography, and budged only to have the worst script and plot possible. So yes I will imagine what I want to make it worth my time. I'm not even a fan of the “villain” actor but his backstory is more fleshed out than the ML’s! Of course, people are going to side with him. If you want to blame someone blame the scriptwriters and director.

Ugh, I don’t hate Hee Shik but can you imagine if they had taken the Shi O route? IMAGINE less on the grandma and mother and Maybe something along the lines of while he was developing that drug he came across a family with powers similar to what the lab was trying to recreate and then met her. She agrees to help him get out of that world that he was forced to join and protects him like nobody ever did!!!!. CAN YOU IMAGINE? WE COULD’VE HAD IT ALL?!? More depth, more shades of gray, and more chemistry(not that I necessarily think she has no chemistry with Heeshik but I feel their chemistry is cute while her chemistry with Shi O would be more complex?)

Finally finished this. Personally, I did not feel the chemistry between the leads (I'm guessing because of the age gap -of the actors-) but they did have good communication skills. The story was too bland, there was no real tension to carry this story. There were some nice subplots thrown in there with some of the patients and that first-year doctor but the main plot was meh. The teacher/student was a little weird and it stayed in the back of my mind every time they were together. Otherwise, the acting was good and I guess it was fine. Despite the ratings I had big expectations but this drama is not a boom but a whisper. Not bad but not what I expected based on the first eps.

Wait nooo! I just finished ep 3 and came here to comment how much I love this but Twitter and the comments here keep saying that the ending is bad?!? TT whyyyy! It's really good so far. God, I'm tired of 2023 dramas disappointing me. I want to cry. I will finish this though because Park HaeJin is looking scrumptious as always, and the acting of the leads is great so far.

Uh. This is weird and not necessarily because of the age gap, though that’s weird in itself, but okay, I'll take the bait. BUT the fact that HE was HER teacher. So he was in a very delicate position of power over her when he developed feelings for her. Imagine a former high school teacher that you haven't seen in years and the first thing that comes out of his mouth is to ask if you got married/have a boyfriend. No hello, not anything else. Don't tell me it doesn't feel weird especially because you know he's not asking only to catch up but because he has a different personal interest. And YES nothing “physical” happened between them when she was a teenager. But she was a troubled teenager who lacked attention and love and he was somebody that she looked up to and admired, how can he come back and say without an ounce of hesitation or shame that he's glad she hasn't had a relationship and that he likes her (and it is hinted that he already did as her teacher). Teachers in school are supposed to be mentors and guides for kids, especially for children like her who lack a proper home. And NOW he ALSO wants to be her mentor in the hospital? GIRL. So to me, all of this feels a little (a lot) icky. Kinda wish she would get together with Dr. YoonDo though I know that's not going to happen. I'm on ep 5 and I wanna keep watching because outside of the power dynamics between the leads, everything else is exactly what I enjoy in a drama, they don't make dramas like that anymore. But I don't know if I'm going to be able to push through and tolerate this main couple.

Why are all these characters so lovable and easy to relate to? The way they made each case in such a manner that made me care and cry for them and how they dealt with the stigma and stereotypes of mentally ill people are beyond commendable. Also, Dong Go Yoo’s quiet acts of love are so dear and so so so special to me. Every single guy in this drama was the greenest bright flag. This drama broke me and put me back together. Why is this only 12 episodes long? TT I wish they had given GoYoo’s and Daeun’s relationship a little more time to develop, also the love triangle felt unnecessary.

I'm on ep 11 and this second FL is starting to get on my nerves. He went from cute and unlucky to annoying really fast. More than him being worried to me it feels he wants Doha to be in the wrong. And don't tell me “he's a cop that's his job”. She’s said multiple times to back off and he keeps coming back. At least come back with actual proof to back up your claim otherwise it seems as if you just want to get in between them.

I already read this webtoon and the story could sell well as a drama. I hope the screenwriter does a good job though 🥲 I need to see MinYoung Unnie back in a good drama with great writing and in-depth character. The last two have been a little off.

Well, I don't know how far you are but I wanted to check in and say that I didn't drop it and ep 12 makes things better! Not 100% but STILL much better.

I KNOW! It’s uncomfortable and weird AF. He tells her he loves her even before properly breaking up with his FIANCÉ. I’m surprised by how I've never seen anyone mentioning it before considering this show is super popular, and believe me, episode 10 gets worse. I don't know after that, I'm considering whether to keep going or drop it.

Now I'm starting ep 10 and I gotta say I miss their bickering!! I know we’re (FINALLY) getting the real deal about their past lives and everything but the drama is dramaing with no bickering in sight! But MOST IMPORTANTLY I need to ask WHY ARE THEY MAKING HIM A CHEATER?! NO, I don’t care if his girlfriend is a biatch, as far as I know right now he’s not aware of what she is doing. For all I know he thinks he's cheating on his perfectly fine, gorgeous, long-time girlfriend?! I don't approve of cheating and I do not support cheaters. It was all fun and giggles when we thought it was a spell because he couldn't help it, but now it's a little too much.

I'm currently watching episode 6, but I wanted to drop by to say two things: 1. I’m enjoying this much more than I expected -I seriously didn't expect much. And 2. I JUST LOVE the way Rowoon delivers the cheesiest, most cringe-worthy pickup lines with a deadpan face and voice. It cracks me up every time without fail.

I don’t know why I did this to myself. I thought I was up for some angst and tears but I hugely underestimated this and ended up with an incredible amount of sadness and heartbreak. I've known about this drama ever since I joined Kdramaland but BECAUSE I saw Park Minyoung say in an interview that she was constantly crying in this drama, and let's be honest the title is pretty self-explanatory, I put it off for a long time. Until now, because it recently became available in my region on Netflix, so I said what the heck, and pressed play. Big mistake. I'll wake up tomorrow with a gigantic headache and pain behind my eyes thanks to all the crying I did in the last episode. How could they do this to me? How could I do this to myself? How could they show us the life they could've had if he had stayed put, if he did not need to become king? THE KIDS AND THE LOVE THEY COULD HAVE HAD?!?? They spent all that time risking their lives to keep each other alive and safeguarding their love only to end up living the rest of their lives apart. I'm not okay.

I watched this last year and I'm almost done rewatching it. And honestly, I'm enjoying this much more the second time around. Don't ask me why but I think now that I know what the annoying parts are and when they are coming, there's not a ridiculous surprise that can irritate me. So I can focus on the less annoying parts that I liked.

The sister was the biggest letdown for me. The way they presented her vs. what she ended up doing? Disappointing.

Honestly, I haven’t even finished the first ep, and I'm already a little disappointed. I read the webtoon, and I remember that my thought while reading it was…this could make for a hell of a Kdrama if done well. And I already had a feeling with the cast (FL NOT included here), but this is not it.

A review mentioned it and I’ll like to underscore it. This drama reminds me so much of 2010’s romcoms is insane. it's a nice change of pace and scenery given the drama panorama the last year. I’ve read the webtoon so I’ll admit there were some things that they left out that bothered me but since they only had 12 episodes they did what they could. The chemistry between the cast and the leads carries this show. All in all, it is a nice, uncomplicated watch.
