This surprised me. The way the writing, directing and acting came together was incredibly vivid. Those kids felt so familiar and relatable with their anxieties, their half-baked hustle, their resilience. They reminded me a lot of myself at their age.
Uh huh. After consuming the bait all the signs were there: The plot is suspect. The acting is suspect. The soapy camera work is suspect. The sound work is convicted and sent to prison. And I have to pay time or pay money to access the next 97 seconds.
Think about it: You could watch Misaeng and Oh My Ghost for absolutely free. You get to watch two hours of My Sweet Mobster before deciding whether to subscribe for the rest. Hell, you can even gawk at the lovely Kim Go-eun's full frontal legally and for free on a major streaming site.
I'd fork over a fiver for Ga Doo Ri’s Sushi Restaurant long before I paid half a won for this. What a godawful, greedy, disrespectful revenue model for a show that isn't worth watching for free.
It's quite fascinating as an exploration of being alone. You have people coming together and separating in conventional relationships. You also have the near misses, the might have beens, and the should not happens.
Put together there's a whole mosaic of character interactions that I imagined as a bunch of straight magnets on a plane, attracting and repelling each other more or less depending on their relative location, and sometimes clicking together, permanently or not.
anyone know which region this is available on viki? no matter which region i check it says "not available in your…
It's not on Viki anymore. It's not on Kocowa or Apple either. It is in fact surprisingly hard to track down even an illicit source. Challenge accepted, I guess.
Ep. 8 speculation time: Given that Korea is well outside the range of any CL-600 variant, where does a plane without a tail number and operated by a murky PMC refuel?
I'm not saying that it's not hella entertaining in its own way and more engaging than Dr Romantic 3. It's also flawless on the technical and acting level. The medicine is unlikely but not entirely implausible so it passes there, too.
However, after ep. 4 I'm finding that this drama keeps trying to up the ante and outdo itself in OTT-ness for surgery, politics, humour, and action. As a result the plotlines become fragmented. Individual scenes become self-absorbed and have trouble staying in touch with the core concept.
Sometimes the transitions between scenes with different subjects are jarring. Initially I thought that maybe I was failing to appreciate the chaotic writing but a good crew can make even that work. I think my main issue is the impression that the editing was outsourced to a cage of monkeys with cymbals. As a coherent production it basically picks a fight with itself and doesn't seem to care if it loses as long as there's mayhem. I do believe that Season 2 will be better if they fix that.
It's very good but there's definitely room for improvement.
I was married to an ex-paramedic, ex-Army medic trauma nurse and this was dinner table conversation. It made me smart enough to find the "move all the patients" triage in episode 5 horrific but it did not make me pretty enough to star in it.
I'm sure you are absolutely gorgeous and look forward to seeing you in season 2. :)
I've started watching Chicago Med recently (never bothered til now) and like 5 minutes into an episode I was like…
It's predictable and steady in its full moon insanity so what you get now is what you'll get at the end. The only way it could get more bonkers is if they added the ridiculous triage from Trauma Code.

I think I lasted through three seasons of that. Serial HIPPA violations, a complete disregard for protocol and (personal and departmental) boundaries, and at least one felony-grade malpractice per main character per season.
After watching Chicago Med I felt like Hospital Playlist was a trip to medical heaven.
I play one on MDL. I'm also a lawyer, cop, and fried chicken shop owner. It's only because I'm not 10% as handsome as Ji-hoon that I don't get to be rich and famous for doing so.
I'm ten minutes in and already knee deep in tropes. You know you've watched too many medical dramas when you go "cardiac tamponade!" before the doctor does.
That ambulance driver should be fired into the sun and then fired for hitting that speed bump like a rally driver and coming to a screeching halt against traffic. At least I've now been warned that this will be totally OTT action.
Unexpectedly for a late special, this is the best part of the whole series. It's one step up from season 1 and season 2 (Gyakushu) is two steps down from here.
The aspect ratio and fishbowl effect are giving me a headache. I want to smack the cinematographer who believes that this anamorphic madness is appropriate for television.

It would have been easier to watch if Youtube didn't age restrict anything with a kiss. Screw you, Youtube.
