WHY waste time for fire and evacuation that ends in a rain? Is there really no better way to resolve the conflicts?

I feel like there are quite a few popular younger actors I liked in their first big role, but then they never really lived up to their potentials in my eyes. Whereas with LDH he shines more and more. He does get a lot of similar roles, but I feel like every one of them hits different. I look forward to seeing him in more dramas! (But he'll probably enlist into military soon, sigh)

It was pretty good! But had a lot of flaws nonetheless, so I wouldn't necessarily call it a masterpiece. All the flaws were mentioned by the commenters so I pretty much expected & accepted them coming into the show. There were a lot of simplifications, but at least I feel that the majority of plots were given a pretty satisfying conclusion.
Worth watching for the actors -I knew that LDH and RMR will not disappoint, but AEJ was also something else.

I honestly didn't think I'd see this day, nice! Also will it start really slow, if they're dropping 7 eps at once?

Nah, Andrea is cute and all, but KDJ is so unapologetically sexy here, don't miss Andrea one bit xD

That would be a valid plotpoint - that Kim Sabu's approach changed with a different generation, and now KDJ cannot imitate that, as younger people are different. But CEJ is supposed to be 3-4 years younger than KDJ. That is not a different generation. I understand Kim Sabu not yelling at her anymore, but he didn't even properly reprimend her for her actions in ep 13, when she took on his patient without authorisarion...

I agree with you on Woojin, he was a bit arrogant in ep 13 but I wouldn't call him annoying, I see a character development for him in those 2 eps. But Eunjae was out of character in ep 14, very irresponsible. This is not character development, she is acting like a teenager and not a 35 year old. People have the right to call her annoying in my opinion. She truly did make my blood boil. Maybe there's a redemption arc for her, but I'm afraid that most of it will be swept under the rug.

What angers me the most, are the nurses. Like what was their reason for boycott? That they have another thing to do (the blood fridges or whatever) and KDJ didn't ask their opinion? Or that they don't take patients from Doldam, which gives them less things to do at the time? I am really iritated at the simplification of treating them as a crowd with no own opinions. They followed just because the plot needed them to. No reason behind it. They didn't even try to talk to their boss, like what the hell. Lazy writing here.

About CEJ, most of the things have been said already... She's supposed to be 35 here, yeah no way. She needed a proper scolding from master Kim, not a pad on the head. Like wow, she did wrong and feels like she's the victim here. I get that KDJ was in the wrong for yelling at her in the middle of operation. But other than that, her being mad about him doing her work or about new doctors coming, that's just rubbish. I instantly disliked her a lot. Thought she's better than that.

Yeah like these people just can't take care of themselves. They are doctors yet they somehow don't understand how important their health is and push themselves to the limit. Like take some time off, rehabilitate, go on vacation, you never get such a chance. But Woojin and Eunchae both have a saviour syndrome at this moment, as if Doldam wouldn't function without them. While Dong Joo left and focused on himself for a few years, so that later on he will have even more to bring to the table, they just think the world revolves around Doldam.

Yeah, I know, but in no way does AHS look 35 in the drama... especially when you put him beside YYS who definitely looks his age.

This really makes their dynamic weird to me, cause they are supposed to be very close in age and experience, but it just seems like a 25 year old student is correcting his 40 year old professor.

Also, I feel like Kim Sabu, however bad it may sound, has a wide net of some powerful / influential people as who owe / support him, that he's been building his entire life. He knows when he can afford to make a reckless decision, just like in ep 2, when he admitted, treated and supported the North Korean refugees in a way not to threaten his career (which also will not last as long as the young doctors', lets admit it) and hospital. He has both the backing of contacts, as well as impressive experience. This cannot be underrestimated.

Yes, you're totally right!

Yeah, like what's the point of trauma centre if it's indistinguishable from Doldam Hospital

Yes, that's why I kinda don't miss her this season - we already have so many doctors which fulfill the "idealistic" role. Whereas Dongjoo is a breath of fresh air (Inbeom would be too!)

Also, the most unrealistic plot is that Dong Joo and Woojin / Eunjae were residents at the same time 😆 like, Dong Joo looks like he could be their professor, and those 2 still look like his students, I'm sorry... I would never say they are 3-4 years apart

The conflict between Dong Joo and Eun Jae is so damn interesting. They both are in the right. But I'll support Dong Joo on this one - he had Kim Sabu's full support this whole time and she knew it. If only Eun Jae called Kim Sabu, this situation could have been avoided in the first place. She tried to be the savior herself, and had a bit too much faith in herself. On the other hand Dong Joo made all the right calls, sending the child patient away when he couldn't handle it, with no selfishness whatsoever. It was not easy for him but this is showing so much growth! Also his lines about how they can't be Kim Sabu - he's right, what can I say.

On the other hand I get that he's not the most convincing leader out there. He wasn't really trying to win the crew over. I understand him yelling at Eun Jae, but especially in the light of recent episodes (suicide plot) it might have been a bit too much. But then again, it wasn't a mistake, she was clearly acting against his will.

I was just about to comment that I was looking forward to another project from Shin Won Ho, that's not another season of HP which he was clearly a bit tired of looking at the state of S2, but then I read that that is in fact the case xD what a joke of an article

LJW in a dark drama that could actually be well-written? Sign me in. Those 5 minutes in Kill Bok Son weren't enough.

Well we sure didn't have mystery rom-com for a while... (sarcasm)

Dunno how to feel about this one. Up until the flashbacks in ep 12 I loved pretty much every minute of it. Incredible chemistry between every character, memorable cases (even though I hate shows that are on procedural basis), the character development, everything worked. I didn't care that the ghost lore made basically no sense.

And then eps 12-13 (or were they 11-12) came along and I was bored to death. I didn't care about the past at all, these weren't the characters I fell in love with. I skipped most of those 60 minutes (believe me, I tried). And then the ML wakes up as a whole different person, with a whole new set of memories, and even though after 1 ep they try to convince us that he's dealt with the memories and he's back to his old self - I don't believe it. In my mind he's a whole different guy from who we've known, and all his precious character development went down the drain cause now he isn't good cause he learnt how to be good in his present timeline, but because he remembered some memories of his past self.

Also, the romantic tension was built up SO WELL, I was waiting with anticipation for the confession and then NOTHING. He just woke up and just started declaring his love to FL like he was talking about the weather. So anticlimactic. And from then on, they continued to have no chemistry, 'oh they can't kiss cause the ghosts are there hihihaha'. Just damn.

Don't even get me started on the villain. The FL should have held the chief accountable for what he did to her and her father, he shouldn't have been caught because of the ghost... Also the evil ghost's plot was so dragged I can't even be bothered to care about it. What was he motivated by until he stumbled upon ML and FL? Just eating others' energy? And when he met them, it was even weirder, he had such no plan for anything, other than his presumed 'powers' he was no evil mastermind at all...

Most of times I can look past over some things I don't care for in a show. Like in Her Private Life or in Extraordinary Attorney Woo - there were some unnecessary things, but I love those shows enough to make up for it. But this one... It was a bit too much. Such a waste. I envy everyone who can look past it, seriously
