And Palestine wasn’t some empty land. People had been living there for centuries mostly Arab Muslims and Christians with their own communities, culture, and identity, especially under the Ottoman Empire.

In the early 1900s, Jews in Europe were facing serious persecution, which led to more migration. At the same time, European powers were also pushing solutions to what they called the “Jewish question,” and one of those ideas was encouraging settlement outside Europe including in Palestine. This ties into the Balfour Declaration, where Britain supported a Jewish national home in Palestine… without really consulting the people already living there.

Then during the British Mandate for Palestine, immigration increased a lot, backed by international and colonial policies, while Palestinians didn’t really get political power or sovereignty.

And then in 1948, when Israel was created, you had the Nakba basically the mass displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Whole villages were destroyed, and a huge number of people became refugees. That’s not really debated by historians, it’s a documented fact.

Honestly, a fair solution back then would’ve been something like two states, where both sides actually get self-determination. But Palestinians weren’t really given that instead, many lost their land while they were still living on it.

So yeah, this didn’t just start with one event or one date. It’s the result of a whole chain of things: European persecution, political decisions made by outside powers, mass migration, the long-term impact of the Nakba, and colonization.

Yup, unlike you, I’ve actually read it.and Moses (peace be upon him) basically spends a lot of time reminding the Children of Israel that God literally saved them, fed them, guided them and yet they still kept doubting, complaining, and disobeying. He tells them to worship one God, follow the rules, and appreciate what they’ve been given, but instead, they question everything, refuse clear instructions, and even fall into things like "idol worship" right after being rescued. At one point, he’s essentially telling them, “You were given every sign possible, what more do you want?”

Don’t talk about topics you’re not educated on. If you’re brainwashed, that’s your problem you’re honestly coming across as pretty dumb.

how's the romance pretty slow ?
the plot is good?

Sun Qian has a very strong filmography she consistently chooses interesting and compelling scripts.

After watching the first 4 episodes, I honestly think this is a really solid drama. The balance between comedy and serious moments is handled really well. The character interactions feel natural and engaging, and the pacing is smooth enough that it never gets boring. It all feels pretty light and well-paced overall, which makes it even more enjoyable.

As for the ML, I get why some people might feel frustrated watching him constantly give so much of himself, always pushing through even to the point of exhaustion. But to me, that actually fits the whole point of the drama, especially considering the title. In real life, the medical field often gets criticized for dehumanizing patients treating them like cases or objects (transplants, tests, etc.) and doctors are often seen as lacking empathy.

Here though, it kind of flips that dynamic. And while that portrayal might feel uncomfortable, it reflects a certain professional reality: at the end of the day, people are expected to do their job. His colleagues expect him to fulfill his duties, like we see with the little girl’s case. Despite his own struggles and trauma, the patient still comes first, and his emotions get pushed aside.

Also, it’s worth remembering that in a professional setting, relationships aren’t an obligation. Everyone is primarily responsible for their role. Getting along well with coworkers is definitely a plus, but it’s more of a bonus than a requirement.

the webtoon was a masterclass i hope the kdrama will be as good as the webtoon

Oh really, you're getting bored? I'm not that far in yet, I'm only on episode 4, but so far I'm loving it.

By the way, there's a new drama called See You at Work Tomorrow that just came out. I have no idea if it's any good yet, but I thought I'd mention it in case you're interested.

There's also Dream to You coming out in July, and that's one I'm really looking forward to.

I think we can all agree that after everything the ML goes through, the title couldn't be more fitting...

Sure, keep defending inappropriate behavior if you want.

The execution of both dramas is fairly similar, but story-wise they're quite different. Dr. Romantic is much more focused on the medical aspect, whereas here the medical setting mainly serves as a backdrop.

That said, you can still clearly spot some similarities between the two.

Exactly. The hate this drama gets is seriously overblown. It definitely has its flaws and it's far from perfect, but it's still entertaining and genuinely enjoyable to watch.

To everyone who's unsure whether to watch this drama or not. don’t let the comments and reviewers fool you. This drama is far from perfect, but it’s nowhere near as bad as some people make it out to be. The hate is honestly a bit exaggerated (the rating should be a 8.2). I wrote a pretty detailed review covering all the pros and cons, with ratings for the different aspects of the drama, so feel free to check it out if you want a more balanced opinion.

I get what you're saying, but I still think there are a lot of similarities in terms of the overall vibe: the visual style, the atmosphere, the balance between comedy and more serious moments, the dialogue, the directing, etc. That's mainly what I'm referring to.

I also think the writing is very strong. If you take away the love-triangle aspect, it's a really well-written drama with compelling characters and relationships.

it should be a 9 or 10 honestly
So far, it's the best drama released this year.

This is probably my favorite k-drama of 2026 so far. It reminds me a lot of Dr. Romantic, which is still my #1 drama of all time. I'm only on ep 2, but I'm already hooked. The acting is excellent, the story is interesting, and the characters are so easy to get attached to. Ha Ri and Ji Ui have incredible chemistry, and the cinematography is stunning

every frame is a work of art. The pacing is perfect as well; it never feels slow, and I love how the drama takes its time to let every scene and interaction breathe. ♡

For now, I'll keep watching and see if my opinion of him changes. I'm definitely not closed off to the idea. But based on what I've seen so far, his behavior was clearly problematic there's really nothing to defend there.

What you're saying literally makes no sense.

Even if the ML had behaved the same way, I would have reacted exactly the same way. This has nothing to do with being Team ML or Team SML. The difference is that people like u are willing to overlook or minimize bad behavior just because they like a character.

I'm sorry, but if this kind of behavior is acceptable to you, it's not for everyone. We're not people's doormats. the ML himself was basically like, "Excuse me? That's not something you say to someone."

This isn't about picking sides. It's about basic respect and common sense.

As I always say being delulu is the solulu for many people.

Exactly! And yet, according to a lot of people, we're the crazy ones for pointing out disrespectful behavior. That's why I can't help but think that many are simply influenced by the actor's looks. I'm convinced that if the character weren't attractive, they wouldn't be defending him this much or making the same excuses.

Being attractive doesn't excuse condescension or disrespect.
Even the ML was shocked. He literally went, "Excuse me? That's not something you should say to someone." And he was way calmer than I would've been, because honestly, I would've put him in his place right then and there.
