Watching this drama for the love of xu kai. I've only discovered Bai lu in this drama and I must say she's a really good actress.Really, really good. Just make sure you have enough patience because i find it slow burn. Watching The Legends now because of the 2 of them and enjoying it more than I expected. Will be marathoning a xu kai fest this whole month. 💕

I said to myself last year, after it aired, that I will rewatch this every anniversary. Well, I can't wait for the anniversary. So I rewatched it ahead, like now. 😆 And my goodness. I'm having another withdrawal from this drama like last year. Even my Spotify is looped for the ost tracks.

You will be shocked. The Anime is just soooo different from the live adaptation- storywise. It has more humor but you will love it just the same. Like I do. 😍 Please watch that version too.

Start watching on episode 7(or 14) if you hate watching smart FL characters do harmful, crazy, stupid decisions in life because of poor self-image and insecurities. I pray that no young woman who will watch this drama emulate her pettiness coz it's detrimental to the whole of humanity (not kidding on this) lol.. If you want warm, fuzzy feelings and butterflies in your stomach, just start on episode 7(if it's a 16 eps). Or 14th ep for the 32 episode runs.

This is why I like kdramas because they ARE just dramas. They do make sure that it will remain just a drama for the audiences after it finishes. A great way to escape from our own harsh realities and enjoy it at the same time. That's why I veer away from too realistic plots coz it becomes scary sometimes to watch it as a form of entertainment. I watch the NEWS though to be reminded of what's real. The Good Bad Mother is balanced. That corny singer, samsik, and the MIB guys are perhaps just there to not make it seem serious because the rest feels real. And for me, that's ok, coz this still feels a drama at the end of the day.

I'm not sure how to start this but if you're looking for a drama with all the bells and whistles, explosive twists and turns, or even dreamy, unforgettable heart fluttering moments, then this isn't it....because all of those are superficial. PP is all about those important relationships a human being makes in his lifetime beyond the boundaries of blood and kinsfolk. A very simple and ordinary story but a well-crafted and well-executed storytelling; including the humor used. If watched w/ expectations, you certainly won't love this. But if you watch this w/o any preconceived notion of what it should be, you will begin to understand what it's all about and see where the drama takes you. For your peace of mind, let the writer and director take you to where they want to take you and not what you want this drama to be.

I guess I call it a character flaw. In order to justify the actions of a character, we have to understand first the context of why that action has to be done in the first place. As a viewer, it's normal that we sometimes resonate with the characters and their situations. But there are certain conditions in a drama that calls for themes that are
sometimes hard to swallow, at times, taboo. That doesn't mean though that it is normalized. I believe that for Kang Ho to grow up harboring revenge to his father's killers, it has to show that he grew up w/an abusive mother and bring that negative feeling as an adult. That vengefulness must have a root and what better way than to showcase a fairly abusive mother. It would be weird to show a very loving family as a child and then by the time he grew up, he just chose to be vindictive. The "abuse" I believe is used as an anchor to show his spite. And the mother became abusive because of what she experienced from the death of her husband.

Yes! It was in youth of may that cemented my being a fangirl - for LDH. Haha.

There will be more seasons for this drama just like Grey's, coz there are plenty of stories to tell in a medical drama. I hope that in the ff seasons of DR tho, writers would introduce a special person for Kim sabu. If Kim hye su comes back as a lover and head of trauma center, it's even better. Lol. The firefly scene w/the old lady is so sad to watch. At the end of the day, it just sucks to be alone. So for now, Dong ju will have to fill in. My bias for that role is still Lee Young Jo(KHS) her credentials fit that role perfectly coz she's with doctors w/o borders and she's the first love. 😉

This drama is in a class of its own. Do watch it now. You might regret putting it off for a long time. I've just finished watching it and I can say that the production value of this is quite high. It's just way up there. The sparse dialogues doesn't make it boring, it actually intensified the emotions that are evoked in some scenes. I also find it amazing how each emotional scene doesn't have to be drowned out by an ost to convey a heart wrenching moment nor it should spew out a string of cliched lines in order to help viewers resonate with the characters and their situations. I subjectively believe that the aim of the writer is for the viewer to immerse in the characters' feelings and to experience for a brief moment in each episode what it is to be in their situation. The drama's message is way too profound that to use empathy to connect with viewers is too shallow and disrespects the humanity in all of us. Well, that's my take on this. But then again, please do watch this drama.
I really want to see more dramas like this and I hope Netflix will continue to produce this type of Korean content with the same quality it has now for years to come.

A 7 year old kid would rather call MinJoo, "noona" than "minjoo-ssi". Yes, it is a plot hole that's hard to miss but I believe we weren't just used to seeing adults acting like a 7yo in everyday life. When we do so, it will always feel cringey esp. if it's forced. I've seen a fair share of 7yo's in my life due to my profession and many are actually mature when adults talk to them, esp. If they grew up in a dysfunctional and difficult household. It is during play though that you start to see kid's age differences and it becomes more obvious when surrounded by their peers in a similar setting.

Agree! I really wanna see more of her because the character is so inspiring. She's the kind of woman rarely seen in this era. 😂. And I sometimes kind of want to emulate her for being everything I'm not. 😆

Yang Se Jong is such a gem to discover in this drama. I saw him first in Dr. Romantic and delved into his filmography out of curiousity. And I'm not surprised that I became a fan of his after this. I hope to see more of him in other genres that would showcase his versatility as an actor. For me, he was the anchor in this drama. The police ml and the prosecutor, my goodness. I'd rather not comment. The plot holes are forgivable but still there are a lot of them that it's difficult to forgive them all. 😆 In the end, I stayed for yang se Jong's character coz, heck, it was enough reason to stay.

This was dubbed in my local language except for the singing parts. It was so refreshing to watch Suzy in a historical genre as this is my first. Is this really based on a real historical figure? Coz I still can't get it on my mind- the age gap that is. It's still unsettling for me.

Him and nàmgoong min in Dr prisoner is way better than in dots

I'm extremely sure that this drama will be nominated in the 60th baeksang. It deserves to be. I would be very disappointed if it won't. Ra mi ran's interpretation of a good bad mother is amazing. She irks and frustrates me at some point at the same time sympathizes w/her and then suddenly makes me cry or be happy with her. It was fascinating how a character can stir up multiple emotions in you in a single episode. And Lee do hyun is in the running for that actor nomination, no doubt about that. The script is incredibly good as well. Mi Joo is also an amazing character to play with. I hope to see more of her to shine in the last 4 eps. I wonder why this is just a 14 eps run.

It was an interesting watch. And was pleasantly surprised with Suzy's interpretation of Anna. I like the vibe and cinematography of this series. The mood felt natural to me instead of being forced into it. I know some wouldn't agree but I find the story immersive because I find that psychological thrillers are ought to be like that. Overall, despite some loopholes in the story, this was a note-worthy watch.

He might just go to US like Dr. Yoon and is a no-show for a few seasons. And then who knows might come back again. Lol. Anything is possible in dramas.

Lol. Same thoughts. AHS might have a very busy year ahead of him though.

I was in high school when grey's anatomy aired and it was such a big hit in school at that time. I never thought another medical drama can compare. I'm definitely wrong though. I'm glad we have Dr. Romantic.
