One of the best dramas. The script is flawless.
This drama is an actual cultural reset. It has no flaws. It is a perfect masterpiece from a rookie writer's first work. She's made a fan for life.This drama is just a beautiful portrayal of relationships, romantic, sibling, parental, marital and platonic. I couldn't believe how perfect the script and story is, it heals you and makes you better.
From the first episode, I loved the characters, the setting, the chemistry and the way it was filmed. There was no way for me to escape from falling for this drama and its characters.
It's so close to reality, each character communicates. The communication and understanding between the character is given the highest regard by the writer, this has almost never happened in any other drama I have seen. It tackles pain that people face when they are in a relationship in a way that has never been done before. Some, if not all of the dialogues the characters say actually deserve an award. I will riot if the drama doesn't get an award.
The actors really outdid themselves. Sekyung's best performance yet. Her acting is amazing. Her character, one for the books. She's unapologetically herself, loves herself and takes care of herself. She puts herself first, this kind of character, I have never seen before.
Im shi wan has also earned a fan for life. His voice, his actions and expressions are to die for. He has such a hold on the audience. A genius actor. I cant wait to watch more of his works, as this was my first.
Sooyoung and tae oh also did a great job at making sure I feel all kinds of emotions.
Jtbc did God's work by releasing behind the scenes and interviews of the actors which I watched like it's my daily routine. I love the main actor's chemistry, honestly if they date, I wont be surprised.
Each and every character is precious in thier own way. There is literally nothing for me to complain about. Though I'd like to Express my love towards the secretary, his character is gold. He's so precious, funny and so human unlike the secretaries in other shows who are shown to be more robotic.
One more thing I loved about this show was that none of the characters were labelled to be a particular way. Nobody assumed anyone to be straight, this was truly a breath of fresh air. Its leading a trend towards more sensitive dramas in the future, hopefully.
The osts of the show are top tier. I would really recommend this ost called "sorry" by 2F, it literally gives you goosebumps. I watched and heard each of the osts during my one week wait between episodes.
Run on is always on my mind. One of my all time favourite dramas for sure. Highly recommended.

This drama was a fun one, definitely enjoyed it even though the story was mostly basic.The point of this drama was that even though every part of the drama was basic and mostly predictable, the writer made it fun and almost fresh, we knew we saw this before, but still looked forward and enjoyed it.
Some of the characters broke out of the general basic norms and it was fun to watch, but others embodied the norms, which still wasn't super annoying.
The number of people who watched this show on air made it more fun to watch. Literally, the whole world was talking about it and sometimes the seojun/suho debate got outta hand, but still, it was fun.
The osts were really fun to hear too, I will be hearing them often!
*****spoiler alert*****
I hated the way they made soo jin evil after giving us hope that she'll stay as jugkyung's friend and introducing her to be such a great character. They could have handled this better.
In the end, they really had to pull the "I'll come back after few years and act like nothing happened " trout. Aren't we all tired of this? I hate this move so much. There are mobile phones, we are in the 21st century. Kindly stop with this writers.
Other than these few story flaws I enjoyed this show a lot ♡

I personally dont enjoy the medical genre, it is a little bit too much for me. But this show is an exception. It depicts more real life of doctors than a fantasy that is often shown in many dramas. More than the medical aspects,it shows relationships of people. Friends, family, love and siblings is shown so incredibly well.
Our 5 friends are friendship goals. I love each of them so much! This is the purest friendship I have seen on screen, so cute and heartwarming.
The show is also so fun to watch,so many laugh out loud moments! The 12 episodes went by quite fast.
The music played during the show has the most beautiful lyrics and such emotional and nostalgic vibes. I love the band sessions of the friends.
The only issue I see is how the story keeps getting cut suddenly and shown in a later part of the show,I know they're to create an aspect of mystery but after a while I started to get annoyed. The ending has an abrupt ending, it ended like it was supposed to have more episodes but didn't. I wasn't satisfied with how most story lines had an open ending. I think there is a season 2 coming next year, so I'm excited for that!
