This Is Reality: , Facing Life, Romance, Friendship, Hatred, and Grieving
I don’t usually enjoy medical dramas because I feel dizzy watching operations.
But for this one, it was worth it. The banter between the characters was amazing, and the blooming tension between Dr. Koo and Oh Yi Young was so good. They went from in-laws to enemies, with Oh Yi Young crushing hard. And to be honest—she fell harder. I really wish it had been 16 episodes because it felt too short!
I better not forget about the other residents and their love stories—some were crushing _hard_. I’m looking at you, idol boy. He was falling fast, and I wish there had been more scenes with him and Kim Sa Bi. Speaking of Kim Sa Bi, she’s my favorite character—so down-to-earth, and the only one (in my opinion) who faced a life-threatening event.
I also feel like Pyo Nam Gyeong was maybe crushing on the doctor intern. There was a little tension between them, even if it wasn’t obvious.
And let me not forget some characters I would happily give the finger! Every time they spoke, I felt my face twist in irritation. One abused his professional power, and the other was a backstabber—what a vile human being. But hey, that’s proof the drama did its job well—getting me invested, making me _feel_ something! Every great story needs a few villains to stir the pot. Still, I wouldn’t have minded seeing some well-deserved karma hit them like a freight train.
On top of all that, the funny and slice-of-life moments were the best—watching them stand up for each other was heartwarming, and the phenomenal actors made it all so real.
Thank you for a great drama, TvN!
