I recently received two recommendation for this drama and actually I was considering whether I should watch this…
This one is epic. As sb who dropped the mess that was DOTS at ep 5, this was such a positive surprise. This is the first historical drama that I finished without considering to drop. Just go for it.
The plot of ''moms fighting for education'' might've been quite unique when this show first came out. But now we have Sky Castle, Lady of Dignity, Secret Mother....this one doesn't specifically stand out in that department. With the affair part, the writing was a bit too convenient. They just fell for each other in the blink of an eye. And to justify cheating, the non-cheating spouses & in-laws were made too cartoonishly unlikeable. SKY Castle, World Of The Marries, Lady In Dignity, Secret Mother are dramas with similar settings that I personally think have better stories & ofc cinematography...
I loved this drama (9.5/10) but I can see that it's not for everyone. I think it's crucial to have the right expectations before starting a drama so here are the things to keep in mind b4 starting:
*This is not a medical drama but a hospital management one. There are very few cases & most of the focus is on the hospital as a business corporation.
* No heroes, no villains strictly. It's all about your perspective. Multiple sides of the story will be shown with each changing your conclusion.
*There is chemistry/tension between characters but very little actual romance.
Overall, you will enjoy this if you like serious dramas like Stranger, Chief of Staff, Survival 60 days etc If you are looking for a morally perfect dr with superhuman abilities saving lives, look elsewhere
DON'T SKIP THIS ONE! I was about to drop this after the 3rd episode, mainly because of the stupid FL/love line but I'm glad I didn't. Don't worry, she gets more mature afterward & the story becomes so engaging that she wouldn't bother you anymore. I've seen time travel series b4 but this one is mind blowing. Don't hesitate, just go & watch!
There is romance but not your classic fluffy type. Sexy & manipulative
No happy ending, unfortunately
