This review may contain spoilers
When you have watched the previous season, you will always compare this to it. Overall, the story and the vibes are still the same. Nothing turns into a massive downfall or some kind like that. The story is (more) intense, and we get a (very) slow burning romance too. The new main doctors Cha Eun Jae (Lee Sung Kyung) and Seo Woo Jin (Ahn Hyo Seop) have a great character. They both deliver the character excellently, while Kim Sa Bu and the whole Doldam staffs are of couse nailed it again.
However, the story this season seems a bit overcooked. Compared to the previous one, this season has more focus to the hospital politics rather than the patients or the doctors themselves. In the effect of this, we barely get stories about Eun Jae and Woo Jin's personal back story. The villains don't seem to learn from their past mistakes, neither to repent nor to find a better idea to beat Dr. Kim. Instead, when he already has an upper hand, he chooses to play a impactless card. Like he is the president now and he can do whatever he wants, but he chooses the rough way only to lose it! The connection between the first and the second season is though not definitely disconnects, but is rather blur. Yun Seo Jung is mentioned several times, Kang Dong Ju once or twice, but Woo Yeon Hwa? She disappears and suddenly Doldam becomes "short-staffed" again. There isn't any privacy in this hospital because apparently it is very easy for you to eavesrops everyone.
When Nam Do Il contract's terminated by the management, I don't get it why he decides to keep it himself. Burdening Dr. Kim and this situation does not connect together in my opinion.
On top of those, this is still a Dr. Romantic. This is still a fight between consicence and greed. People who have watched (and enjoyed) the previous season should definitely watch this sequel!
