I love how they're doing and where they are going with Season 3.
The sudden unavailability of the original new doctors from S1 created a Dr. Romantic tradition of taking in new doctors and training them in Master Kim's principles and ways.
Come Season 3, they can not just remove Season 2's new doctors just to keep that tradition, so what they did is to move the original cast to the new Trauma Center.
In this new Trauma Center, Seo Woo Jin is like the young Master Kim. True enough, from episodes 1 to 4, Woo Jin has showed how he truly learned, and duplicated, Master Kim when it comes to treating patients and training people.
Meanwhile, Master Kim and the seniors of Doldam Hospital, with the support characters from Season 2, are the main crew now. Doldam is basically back to ho it was when S1 and S2 started… short on staff and Master Kim the all-around doctor.
Oh, and Master Kim is going to train two new doctors… again. Doldam's tradition.
All the while, Master Kim's grand plan is to make them all grow, as well as to convince his rival that the Trauma Center is the best place he could ever be.
You see, Master Kim is fully aware that everyone in the hospital started worshipping him, but he is only human and that means one day, he wouldn't be there to solve all their problems. They haven't realised it yet, but they all already learned what they Master Kim can teach them.
As episode 4 said, the pupil has surpassed the Master, which is a universal truth in any culture, at any given time in history (or today).
It is Master Kim letting them all go, work with someone new, his rival no less, so they can grow. This in turn will teach them that Master Kim is not a god, and that they need to stand on their own without him.
Which is what was repeated in episodes 1 to 4, they always have Master Kim to back them, or as a last resort.
And I think this is where Season 3 is going, and I can't wait for all the challenges they will face and how they are going to face it individually and as one unit. Are they going to forget everything they learned from Master Kim that the patients come first? Are they going to forget the morals they learned from Master Kim? Or, are they going to go beyond their differences and see above and beyond their biases, to create cohesive team, the best in Korea?
Even Master Kim's rival has a lot to learn. He is too by-the-book. Like his daughter said, there has to be some flexibility if it means it will save a patient.
Which is true. We wouldn't be where we are now today if great minds before us were 100% by-the-book. Absolutely nothing comes out of being 100% by-the-book. No innovation. No improvements. No humanity in it. We just have to learn to judge, draw a line, and balance it all out.
Look at the military, that is a fine example of 100% by-the-book. Who brought them innovation? People, brains, who are not controlled by the military. We should not make ourselves slaves to principles and rules. We need to be flexible because we are human beings and everything, like it or not, is case-by-case.
This is, at least as far episodes 1 to 4 are concerned, is what Season 3 is about. Growth. Learning. Flexibility.
please someone slap the princess in the face, to see if once and for all she pulls herself together and does something…
She's annoying, yes, but her character is representing a lot of modern people today.
Far too many people today no longer have morality in their bones, they open their mouths without even thinking. That they represent other people by what they are doing and should be thankful.
For example, people who loves to accuse other people of “cultural appropriation”. And when you tell them that you are fine with it and you don't consider it as such, they'll be angry at you for disagreeing with them. They'll even accuse you of being a fake.
Another example. People who loves to talk a lot about things they do not understand, thinking they are representing us Asians, us Autistics, us Brown people, when in reality, they are just making things worse. They make issues about non-issues. They give half-baked solutions and lots of foolish speech. But the marginalised groups, the people they are supposed to be representing with all their fancy words? They never asked for their opinion at all, zero, nada, zilch.
Exactly how the Princess, in this show, has been doing. She is thinking from her privileged position. She is thinking that they are helping them. And when they are proven wrong, they still act high and mighty. Look, she didn't even apologise, instead she turned it into an “analysis” or a “case study”.
And she'll do it again given an opportunity, because up there, from a position of privileged, their way of thinking will always be “we know better”, exactly how people who pretend to be speaking on behalf of others do. Like again issues on autistics, Asians, brown people, and people who use faulty public transportation, are always supposedly represented by whoever.
That is who the Princess is. She represents all of those people. And I am glad her character exist so people who should feel uncomfortable will feel uncomfortable. ^_^
How 'bout if Lee Gyeom becomes king and Lee Seol will live normally and get to be free with Dan O? hehehe
I totally agree. Seol only wants revenge, after that, he's letting everything to chance.
While Gyeom knows that the government itself is a contributing factor to the problem. Current officials, and department/agency heads are led by allies of the dictator.
If they only change the king, the king will still be controlled by the self-serving officials, and they might even plot to install their own king (which was probably what happened in the first place).
Seol was heading straight into battle without any strategy, and without scouting first.
Gyeom is a strategist. He sees other ways to defeat the king without the king knowing anything.
Sometimes, I feel like we should start a "betting bracket" - who will survive and who will die. I'm rather surprised…
Yeah! Hahaha.
Do you have a script for that? Or know of a website? We can do it for fun, not just for this show, but for other future shows.

Yeah, I hope they'll survive in the end. They gave them all the best feel good scenes, it would be very very painful even if only one ended six feet under. T_T
I can't tell if it was real or not. If it was all scripted, their unified team against Pyo is very very very scary. I mean, you can not pull a fake reality as huge as that. You need power and money to get everyone to play their roles and keep quiet about the truth.
And also, you will need to convince everyone, even the President, why you have to do something like that when you can just go arrest the person and put him to death. I don't even think it is legal to begin with.

That's how many people, not just attorneys, should be today; however, many choose to be the Princess or the Minister and his corrupt party.

I also don't even know what to call it, because the ending stays the same. What's different is, are they who we think they are? Crazy. LOL.
^_^

So, is the new reality real or not?
