I felt....

I've never seen a medical drama done this way before... it somehow felt light hearted more than serious but that's what makes it so...different. It's a good kind of different. It is able to make the doctors seem more human even the main, Dr Baek, he felt so human. What do I mean? To start, we barely got any story for each character's background but that's what I expected with only eight episodes and it being a medical drama but even without the background you can see his personality in every interaction. He takes nothing too serious, except for the lives of patients.
Then we have his assistant doctor, Jae won. They were the first to meet from the trauma center team and the chemistry was there instantly and once again he felt like a normal person though we only see him in the medical setting, it didn't feel like he was some genius with split personality, like some of the other medical kdramas I've watched. He became Dr. Baek's student with the most beautiful reason "Because he was running" (I won't explain that bit). He just wanted a stable job and then this new doctor showed up out of nowhere and became the reason he doesn't care for stability. Even as he grows in the drama, we still see him asking questions which should be expected when working with a doctor as "crazy" as Dr. Baek.
Nurse Gangster can't remember name was what sealed this drama down. She was firm yet soft. Once again, she had character as a character. Though nurses get looked down upon in a hospital setting in these shows and real life it's clear that she has a heart for the patients and doesn't act abnormally tough but tough enough for you to know that she can do whatever she wants. Her always being protective over them was cute and gave big sister vibes.
Then there is the Anesthesiologist, not going to pretend to remember his name even though I just finished. He was that guy. When all the other anesthesiologists didn't care to help the trauma center, he did. He was there every time. You can't question his loyalty. He may have had the least screen time of the other main characters he shined through whenever he was there when they needed help in surgery.
There was also enemy became friend, Yu rim. At first, he was bugging the hell out of me but then he warmed my heart when he changed. He may not be the most intelligent doctor, but he does care.
Though we had a few villain-like characters one that I assume went to jail I think everyone can agree that the biggest villain was money. The financial areas in medical dramas always infuriate me but that's what you expect. The cast had the chemistry to make this story fantastic, and it had not one single boring episode. I need more, season 2 please.
