Depends on what it is that you find disinteresting about medical dramas. In this drama, all medical scenarios are not realism and should be taken with more than a grain of salt. The strength of this drama is the characters (medical setting is just the perfect backdrop for their idealism). Thus, I at least recommend watching S2 first because it's the same main cast and their character arcs are important to make this engaging. If this drama is still not for you, well, this drama despite its high ratings, is not for everyone.

I dropped S1 because the romance was incredibly boring. Is S2 better?

idk about the US, but it's available over in Australia

In Australia, Disney+

My problem is that it felt forced. Them just stubbornly not communicating was not presented naturally.

I hope we get some teamwork next week. They sure were stalling unnecessarily the last few eps.

She doesn't know the gravity of the situation at the time. Because the ML wasn't telling her. I'm more frustrated with him, because if he wants her to take his advice seriously, then she needs to know what's happening. She can't just be expected to listen.

I've seen a few shows where the killer has been obvious since the start, and they were still good. One of the benefits is that if the viewer is meant to already knows who the culprit is, the show will not waste time trying to obscure the obvious. I've seen too many where I've guessed who, and then wasted the next 5 episodes where the show thinks it's being smart haha but it just drags

So, if they can fill all the time in with a meaningful story, then this could be to the shows advantage. Of course, it's always possible it will lost momentum in the next few eps

ep 5 hasn't aired yet, that was ep 3

Ordinarily, I'd agree, but my gut is telling me otherwise. Honestly, I'm basing it mostly off her book interview, where she states that the killers in her books are always female because they can kill too, and she's writing from a perspective she understands (or something along those lines) This line would not be said it if wasn't relevant.

So, even if she's not the biggest evil, she is definitely involved.

I could be wrong, I will allow, but I currently don't believe I am.

I think she's improved. I used to really not like her, and I still don't love her, but she's much better at acting than she was.

No, it's the author the FL was working for. I am completely certain. In her book interview she said her villains are always female because women can be killers too - this was clearly relevant. And then she said in the final scene that she had to clean up some loose ends in the village, her hometown.

Not to mention her personality, completely lacking in empathy.

I hope they don't drag out the mystery of the serial killer for too long, because the foreshadowing in episode one made it obvious who it is. Hopefully they maintain this tone for the rest of the episodes, because it was really good.

I've never even read the viki reviews. I don't use the site much, because most interesting dramas are not licensed in my country.

Often the emotions in the subs fall flat, because they're not accurate enough. Like, the phrase they use is so vague and lacks personality. And I go, "Are they really finding those words so emotional?"

I don't know why, but I have always been totally ambivalent about the FL actress here. LIke, I've never disliked her, but I've seen her in the lead role of several dramas now, and her acting has just never wowed me. I never feel for her characters, and this drama is the same.

Still, this drama is enjoyable enough. I still look forward to this wrapping up my Wednesdays.

I don't know where you're watching this, but I'm watching on DisneyPlus and the subtitles are a bit... like, I've seen enough kdramas to know that they're not translating things directly. I often hear them speak (I don't speak Korean, but hear phrases often enough, I know what they mean), read the subs, and then determine how they got there by the context. They're not very good.

Agreed. I hate this trope too. It's fake strength.

For a strong FL that feels authentic (different genres to this) I must highly recommend Sell Your Haunted House. She's cool, a feminine, and strong, but also fragile (strong people can be fragile) and the actress was made for the role.

It's the ML's sister that he is avenging here.

My favourite airing drama atm. The acting is brilliant. The characters are fun and compelling. The script is intelligent and flows well. And the music suits perfectly.
