Sure, but the drama landscape definitely changed a lot in those years, so let's hope that it will not be outdated

I thought that The Good Bad Mother was just an exception, but King the Land is also already on our netflix! Finally something is changing!

IT'S ON POLISH NETFLIX ALREADY I'M SO EXCITED! No 4 week delay <33

I agree that ep 16 didn't feel rushed, but it was because of the fact that they decided to not mention some things, and bring a reaaally oversimplified and convinient solution to other plots.

I feel like instead of actual resolution to conflicts, everything was handled in an overly simplified way. As a result, we got a final episode filled with monologues we've heard before and no actual action. We didn't even have a proper operation? Everything happened off-screen.

Instead of actual confrontation with the assemblywoman, they won her over with the power of love and friendship. By operating in hospital which is full of suffocating smoke, which noone remembers apparently after the rain starts to fall.

The younger doctors were never truly shown, that admitting nontrauma patients to trauma centre will have bad results. Everything became KDJ's responsibility, the one person who wanted to have it under control.

CEJ remained a stubborn kid right till the very end. And why? Cause she had a beef with KDJ about her falling asleep while operating, which was valid in the first place! But she got over it so no she acts like it was never a problem lol and now KDJ was in the wrong apparently. Laughable.

Everybody being mad at KDJ because he's bringing new people? Never mentioned again.

Overall I feel a lot of missed potential, especially with KDJ. I know that they didn't have time, but they should have realized it sooner in the season.

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
