WHY would it disturb anyone? You know what disturbs ME? People who go after obviously damaged people, thinking they can 'fix' them. It's ok to try to do that for acquaintances and friends, sure, but in relationships? OMG Horrible message. Really.

I guess you're not at all familiar with the source material, DeepZone....

????? He's super adorable. Good heavens, what kind of world is it that we hate the cute sweet guy who wants to help and protect, and instead root for the total JERK???? Mr. Baek may not be as horrid as he seems at first (ie his motives aren't terrible, just his people skills) but he HURTS PEOPLE. He's a fixer-upper, sure, but that's not healthy you know - to want that kind of relationship.
I'm SO tired of this 'nice guy finishes last' stupidity, and the whole 'being nice isn't really nice' nonsense disgusts me.

I truly enjoyed this drama. KHJ acted quite well thru-out, and the story interested me. I liked the rest of the cast, the little heart-warming side dramas, and the overall mystery of the reapers. I would loved to have seen more of the con-artist time-stopper, tracking down stolen artifacts :D Also more details about the back stories of the reapers and those with abilities (that sister and her brother especially). But it was only 12 episodes so the writers did what they could do with that limitation. I did find the ending satisfying, since they found each other again.
All in all an enjoyable watch. The OST (his song especially) was great! Not the best drama ever, but certainly worth my time. I may buy it - but that will be for KHJ :D

Yeah, I'd say a demon deity rather than a heavenly one LOL

Actually, this wrapped up a lot better than Evergreen did. Really liked the retired grandpa deity turning into a little boy at the end LOL

How would you even know if you skipped most of the drama? Really.

No, it was not as good as Stranger, but it still was good. And BTW I love the 'average KDrama' - this was more nuanced and ambitious. With entrelacement stories there are always lots of characters (famous ones include the French Morte d'Arthur and The Song of Ice and Fire (all the books....)
This storyline was realistic - people did change and learn but the changes were more personal and less 'get the bad guy' - cause as President Gu says, nothing really touches those guys for long. That's reality and this drama reflected it. The immediate crisis was averted, Lee Dong Wook's character came to grips with his brother's disability, and our pediatrician managed to make President Gu recognize his own humanity. I'd say that's character growth.

As anyone reading my comment might infer, I have no problems with criticism. I have big problems with unjust or unwarranted criticisms.

You have to do better than that - because the writing here certainly doesn't merit such criticism. Lots of quality creations don't appeal to me, but I'm hardly going to say that because I didn't like something it's poor quality. You've totally not convinced me that you aren't doing that - disappointment that this drama wasn't the same as Stranger in other words.

Right on! And so many of these actresses these whiners are fussing about look at least a decade younger than they are. I mean, in this one our leading lady definitely looks 28 - it's just that Park Bo Geum looks 12 (maybe 16 or 17 now LOL). Of course her HUSBAND looks 12 LOL.

Park Bo Geum's English is excellent!

So up for that!!!

What mistakes? Very few indeed compared to your average KDrama LOL

That cameo totally made me want season 2 LOL LOL LOL

It's important because if she died of an ischemic stroke the reporter can't be held responsible for her death the way entitled CEO wants.

I get it - really good, nuanced story telling, with realistic characters and a plot that demands your attention, aren't your cup of tea. Hardly merits you acting as if this writer somehow doesn't deserve all the accolades she gets. In fact she's a superb drama writer - sophisticated, nuanced, an expert at her craft.

I laugh. This drama was all about subtleties, about character interactions. Nothing overtly 'dramatic' here, or 'tearjerking'. Just a realistic slice of life drama about the problems hospitals and their personnel have, juggling the problems of politics and economics (the political/business maneuverings in this drama are some of the most realistic I've seen) and the main characters most certainly did learn and grow from the experiences they went through. It wasn't in your face, though. You had to actually watch instead of skipping most of it.
I understand a lot of people don't like subtle, nuanced storytelling, and I myself am not always in the mood for it. But that hardly makes this a bad drama - it in fact was excellent and well-worth the 16 hours I spent watching it.

Nothing of the kind. Just because it's not your cup of tea is no excuse to wrongly accuse the writers of doing a bad job. It had a very subtle, entrelacement type of structure ie plotpoints interwoven with each other, so that things that at first seem random come together to make a cohesive whole. This kind of framework for a story requires the audience to pay attention more than normal, which means for those who like to skip about and fast forward they will miss much of the meaning of the drama. So it becomes boring due to incomprehension. Many people lack the patience for this type of story telling - or simply don't like it - but that hardly means the writers don't know their craft.

Nothing gory about it. They don't even show much surgery.
