Sirenas

The first few episodes of this were intriguing and you can see why this was titled with psychiatrist in it. A somewhat arrogant doctor who scored high in academics with zero failures to heal suddenly experiences a traumatizing first failure which resulted in the death of the patient. He then becomes mentally traumatized himself and is no longer able to practice acupuncture anymore. Then he comes across a clinic within a small village and slowly starts to experience a different way of healing patients in the real world compared to palace life.

Those who live within the clinic are the endearing part of the series. Various individuals who have different traumatic histories who came together under the main owner, a kindhearted and interesting doctor. They bring the series to life with their bonds and quirkiness. But it evolves into more of a case-solving show where it's less about the medical practice and more about finding culprits. This would be interesting if the cases weren't resolved in such a carefree way. As an example, there's such heavy emphasis on the abuse women have to endure from traditional rules but when the mystery is resolved, they all just easily and happily walk away from the families as if the rules/obligations no longer apply. This is unrealistic.

It's hard to describe but because the dialogues and plot are so simplified, it's one of those series that will tug slightly at your heart strings but also one you can easily put down for another day. It's an easy enough watch but nothing really that compels you to move to the next episode. And other than the head owner of the clinic, none of the characters particularly stand out for me. But if you're looking for a more lightweight watch that incorporates some heartwarming stories and a fun team bond, I would recommend giving it a try.
