Promising Premise, Disappointing Delivery with Unrealistic Characters, so Forced Drama
While this drama is decently watchable, it falls short in crucial areas, particularly plot execution and characterization—making it hard to fully invest in.
Park Eun Bin delivers an decent performance, also Sul Kyung Gu is just okay.
Female Lead: Her surgical obsession and impulsiveness could have been compelling, but she often comes across as reckless and overconfident, shouting like a "brainless rookie gangster" rather than a skilled professional. Her character becomes even worse in the last two episodes, where she just screams like a mad hooligan, completely losing any sense of professionalism or rationality.
Male Lead: The plot drags unnecessarily because he withholds key information until late in the story. His sudden "convenient" memories (only when surgery is needed) feel inconsistent and poorly executed. Additionally, his idea of "teaching her a lesson" by dying on the operating table is just plain stupid—what kind of twisted logic is that?
Seo Yeong Ju: His character is overly simplified—just a blindly loyal sidekick with no depth, making him boring and unrealistic.
Few Plot Issues:
Dog Fur Subplot: Illogical. Surgeons maintain strict hygiene, so the idea that she’d leave dog fur with the dead body is absurd. Also, that murder happened quite some time after she left her home.
Burnt Dogs: If the dogs were really burned, forensic evidence (bones, remains) should have been found. Hiding this info serves no purpose except forced drama. (In ep 6)
The last scene of Episode 6 is similar to Hannibal, but a sick person dragging a healthy person is really a mockery. (He could have just stabbed her and left.)
The way her Medical License cancelled was invalid. As far as I know, she didn’t fail or commit any malpractice. She wasn’t supposed to perform that operation, but this is still somewhat acceptable since it was labeled as an emergency. However, manipulating another doctor to avoid coming is wrong. That being said, revoking her medical license seems excessive—a suspension would have been a fairer punishment. And the way the ML says, "I can get her license," as if he controls the whole medical board, is laughable.
