So it didn’t start well for me, Oh Yi Young’s entitlement was triggering for me, and the rest of the residents were as annoying. Also they made them extremely incompetent that, other Sa Bi, how did they even get into med school? Sometimes it’s not about knowledge but simple customer service they can’t do. That’s why I warmed up first to Jay because he had human decency and keeps trying despite being the least smart among them.

That being said, the character development here is phenomenal. It’s very slow and while we see their growth the characters stay themselves. I also enjoyed how nurses are respected by the doctors and work as a team. We get an episode about it when one of the residents gets a humbling experience which was cute.

I wish we had more of the life of the other characters outside the hospital like we did with Yi Young’s sister and brother in law.

The episodes where we got guests from the main series reminded me how much I miss them.

More like they were so advanced they were canceling people before it was a thing in the rest of the world :P

Jokes aside, in my opinion the issue isn’t what constitutes as a crime, but the unforgiving nature of the culture. It’s guilty until proven innocent. If anyone knows they would know how much I love the country, the culture, the history, but in truth it’s very difficult to be Japanese living in Japan

I saw some scenes from the Arabic version, which I’m sure they follows the Turkish one closely and they really removed a lot of the realism to it.

because it probably was lool

okay because as the story progressed we see more than “oh she killed her baby” or wtv + we find out there was more to it. Where in my view she was wrong is never communicating it (and he’s equally guilty of that as well). The problem is how the relationship ended. She was completely tuned out and never gave it a chance, and this made him guilty as if he was the one at fault. It took maturing for him to understand and move on. And it took maturing for her to understand what marriage means. And I think that’s where her decision about having children changed. I’m not saying having children itself is the mature thing, but in her case it’s understanding that relationships change throughout marriage and that it’s okay but she gets bored and needed something to keep her on her toes haha. So the part that I disliked about her was keeping contact with her ex because that’s what kept hurting him.
Despite all I’m saying, the presentation of this relationship in the drama was for me a strong point and had me thinking.

How far along are you in the drama?

What makes her heartless is how and why she ended the relationship not the baby. The baby was a factor that changed the relationship and both are at fault for not discussing it. The truth is at one point he started liking the idea of becoming a parent but he set it aside because the relationship was his priority since she didn’t want children. She left him because she was bored and put the blame on him. He believed it and kept being in contact with her because he couldn’t move on. She moved on but let him hang on. Their characters are interesting and multi dimensional but overall I think she inflicted a lot of damage on him. Anyways I like their resolve in the end, it kinda reaffirms how I see it but that’s just me

This drama is all about promoting the general medicine department. It’s idealistic and there isn’t really any antagonism. If anything it promotes being professional despite your differences which was a breath of fresh air. I especially enjoyed the episodic patients in each episode. It’s predictable and an easy watch, and doesn’t try to pretend to be anything else. Sweet but ultimately forgettable. Except for that episode about end of life care. Maybe because I’ve seen it in life but that episode really touched me and was really relatable.

No romance, not really friendship but camaraderie dynamic. The main attraction is the episodic cases. It’s idealistic about promoting treating patients as people and not their illness and taking their difficulties seriously

My thought the whole last episode 😂 I mean he brought them no drama but had to deal with all of theirs. He made the decision to stick around though

Thanks for your insight what you’re saying is making a lot of sense

Also what Leo went through is traumatic. putting it under the rug instead of addressing it is wrong for his wellbeing

How does everyone think of the dynamic of the family? I feel there’s something creepy. Even their closeness and happy times feel fake. They also impose so much on Leo as their “treasure” it can be suffocating

For me especially when the uncle took the blame I thought the only logical explanation would be the brother but I thought maybe he was too young

Since she was with her friends I didn’t think it was during work hours + I sometimes watch bits at different times lol
totally with you on her character. I found it funny during court her newbie coworkers were fawning over her like she reinvented the wheel but everyone else weren’t that impressed.

I don’t think the skin care was during work hours.
Other than that I agree with everything you noticed and your criticism. I’m glad you said it I’m feeling too lazy to write haha

I find their team is fun so it’s a missed opportunity to not shed some light on them and their cases. I wish they had SHOWN what happened to the other female associate rather than make her absence do the talking. But I like how the ml took care of her a bit this episode. I think I would have liked if we’ve seen him teaching each member.

Nothing new but it was sweet and fun. A mix of Kdrama Reply 1997 and Thai movie Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

For the romance part, I’m good with the movie length. For the era and the youthful antics, I wouldn’t mind a whole drama for that :P

After all that, I find her choice of marrying her long time friend (which I assume was pining for her his whole life) interesting. Especially with the ongoing connection she kept with her ex.
it’s just funny how the first scene we saw of her in the drama showed someone seemingly living her best life, but now my view of her changed. She’s more like someone that can crumble at any moment when things don’t go as she expected. Unless she matures for real. Anyways thanks I enjoyed that chat with you about this aspect of the drama. tomorrow new episode yay 😁

I think when one enters a marriage, you owe it to yourself, to the other person and to the home you created to communicate along with every change they face and do an effort. While both parties might have been at fault here, she was the one making unilateral decisions which shows her selfishness. Her reason for divorce was honesty childish. And many people like and the man of the case end up devaluing their relationship for really shallow reasons and as you put it, clouded by their own feelings to see the other. One thing I appreciate is that she didn’t cheat. But maybe if she had it would have been easier to let him move on.

I do think she matured in that she realized she was wrong hence the sense of shame she felt when he saw her pregnant. I just think she hasn’t matured as much as she thought she has. I also think she has yet to truly love. She was still enjoying the attention she was getting from her ex while she has moved on. From here I’m inferring based on what we know but I think she decided to become a mom because she realized with her following relationship that things don’t stay “red” and eventually get boring so she didn’t want to repeat the same mistake but instead decided to love her child.

Anyways a very realistic and unlikable character.

I appreciate the nuance portrayed in the relationship between ML and his ex. She’s not straight up evil but she’s evil to him, even if she didn’t mean to. Both have the right to change and not change their minds about how their family would look, with or without children and so on. You can tell his desire to become a parent grew during his marriage but he still respected her decision.
But she never communicated with him. She didn’t put any effort, got bored and decided on her own. She didn’t straight out say it but still blamed him for her feelings. Then when they separated, he was hanging on and she could tell and still let him hang on.
The worst when she matured and realized her selfishness she didn’t face it. Anyways I’m glad started standing up for himself against her.
Again, she’s not your typical evil ex, and her character is realistic, but she still hurt and stole have of the guy’s lifetime. I know a lot of women who usually go through this with selfish men.
