Ultimate Rewatchable K-Drama
This is such a classic. I bet this was the start of most people's obsession with K-dramas and full proof that not every romance drama needs overly detailed and perfectly executed writing. Sometimes, all we need is a simple yet well-done romance that can make you laugh on the days when you need it.I appreciate the comedy and the storyline. Though, despite rewatching it a thousand times, I still don't get why the background story is necessary.
It can make you cringe in the best way possible, and I'm a sucker for the boss x secretary trope. They have the best chemistry ever, to the point that I was hoping they'd get together in real life lol.

Is this written by a 6 year old?
This is just straight-up shit just like the webtoon, a teenager can write a better story than this. The main characters are boring with not much depth in their characters, I don't see the chemistry everyone's been talking about. Hwang In-Yeop definitely carried this formulaic drama.A lot of people adore Cha Eun Woo, and I understand why. His looks are extraordinary, but he's like a wooden plank on screen. I've seen all his dramas, and his character is always the same. I would rather have an average looking actor who can actually act.
On the other hand, Moon Ga Young did pretty good. Seo-jun and Jukyung have more chemistry, and I was actually rooting for them to get together. I just don't understand why they have to force Jukyung and Su-ho as the endgame when we can clearly see who's the better man. But I get it, Seo-jun deserves someone better.
I was hoping to see Jukyung's character development as this drama is about a teenage girl who was bullied for her looks. So, seeing her confident and secure of herself plays such a vital role in the whole drama. Yet, they didn't do none of that. I don't think they have properly shown how she finally appreciates herself. It's just more focused on who ends up with who, and that's just what makes this drama even worse than it already is.
There's just nothing I hate more than an FL who can't do anything by themselves without their prince charming. She's a weak character, the writing is an absolute mess. No wonder why the webtoon is hated by many.
Not only that, I just don't understand how people get captivated with an emotionless character. I might be biased but Seo-jun takes the cake!
All I really liked about this drama are Jukyung and Seo-jun's chaotic scenes together plus the amazing OST. I wouldn't say this is entirely terrible, but if you're expecting a lot and your standards are high then it might disappoint you. I would recommend this to K-drama beginners since it's light and mediocre.

Underrated
Even though it's a medical drama, I was moved as many times as Dr. Baek's held that scalpel.I bet the production team must've gone all out with the budget, judging by how realistic this drama looked. The cinematography is top-notch and really highlights the intense scenes.
I say it's underrated because this drama deserves more appreciation. People are missing out on a GREAT medical drama, especially since it really focuses on the theme without any romance.
They showed the sacrifices frontliners make, and even though I'm not one, I was genuinely touched. It made me a little emotional somehow. I love characters who have a strong sense of responsibility, passion, and pride.
**Story**
The story itself is interesting. It’s entirely focused on one character who has an intense obsession with saving his patients. But it’s not just about him; it also shows that despite living in a world full of greed and hunger for money, there are still people who have a strong sense of duty. Seeing them work together as one team was absolutely amazing.
I had to skip some scenes whenever Director Hong appeared because of how annoying he was. I just can’t understand how a doctor’s priority isn’t saving patients. It doesn’t make sense to me, and it’s irritating because it’s true. Money really messes people up.
And that’s what made the story even better—it’s realistic. It’s happening in real life.
Maybe some people won’t like how glazed Dr. Baek’s character is, but I personally loved it. I relate to his character, and that’s what made him so admirable to me.
It might be one of the reasons why this K-drama touched my heart. I would love to help my people someday. It’s not just a dream to me, but a duty I feel I need to step into.
But the ending, where he revealed the reason why he wanted to become a doctor, really surprised me. That was such a nice twist — the cherry on top.
I loved seeing the character development. Although, I don’t know about Director Hong. May he rot somewhere. Kim Won-hae really knows how to play these irritating characters.
**Acting/Cast**
A round of applause for Ju Ji-hoon. He not only has the looks of an attractive man, but also the skills of a great actor. He’s so versatile, and I love every role he plays because he’s really great at what he does.
If you guys didn’t know, he played the Crown Prince in Kingdom. I’m not surprised now by how good he is, considering all the dramas of his that I’ve watched.
As for Choo Young-woo, I never expected to see him play a character like this. Seeing him first in Head Over Heels felt weird because of how silly he acted there, but I understand now why he did so well as Bong Soo.
Though, it still makes me cringe a little because I just don’t think the role fits him that well. I don’t really have a problem with it, though.
I’m looking forward to seeing more dramas from Jeong Jae-kwang. His long hair is cute.
The characters are written well. They all have their own unique personalities that gave more diversity in this drama.
Overall, the cast is great, and no one underperformed.
!!!!
You guys should start watching this, and see if you might like it too. Although, if you're sensitive with seeing blood and organs, it may not be suitable for you. But for adventurous watchers out there, try this out!
