from beginning to end this show manages to keep you hooked with the nonstop medical action that happens in each episode as we watch baek kang-hyuk and his team gradually expand the trauma unit’s influence not only in the hospital, but in the country. both the physical and verbal comedy in this are top-notch and balance out both the depressing and heartwarming moments well, as the team is faced with the struggles of money-hungry bosses and severely injured patients. seeing the characters develop, in particular han yu-rim and yang jae-won, was straight up beautiful as they become such vital members of kang-hyuk’s team. all of the moments that they experience, from saving the life of someone dear to some of the characters to the malpractice investigation, all lead up to the final surgery which makes me bawl my eyes out every single time. seeing how far the team has come and how they all work together makes for the perfect finale right before we see how much the trauma center has changed from the start of the season. a story that encourages the viewer to fight against the odds whenever possible and to always do what’s right, not what’s expected, makes this one of my favorites for the underlying message alone.
