Had a Blast...
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this drama... I didn't expect it to. I initially thought this would be yet another drama set in a hospital setting similar to Dr. Romantic with romance in the busy trauma unit (eye roll), but this drama came out to be far far better than any drama of its genre.
I absolutely loved how this drama infused comic timings into the serious scenes and how the 'villains' (if thats what they can be called) was funny. It made them less threatening and lifted up the comical side of this drama.
Also, I am so glad this drama didn't have any romance in it because the lack of romance made it so much more genuine and watchable. If they had incase added romance into it, then it would have gone all south. Another interesting fact was this drama didn't dwell into any characters personal life too closely. All it showed was that these are the doctors and this is what they are supposed to do. Save lives. I think the drama showed more personal info on the patients rather than the doctors who were the lead, which made it a fresh take and interesting scenario to watch.
Though there were scenes where I laughed out loud or scoffed at the scenes depicted in the surgery/operation theater, it wasn't too cringey. JJH's character is supposed to be a pompous know it all, but he comes out as a marshmallow. A total softie. Also, the secondary characters all shined bright and stood their own in every scene they were in. No matter how small their role was. The casting was done to a T.
As for the story, 10 out of 10. I never felt a minute bored or felt like the drama dragged out. Not a single scene. It felt perfect and apt with the 8 episodes.
What I want from this drama is now another season. I really hope there is a season 2. I want to know what antics are now the HNUH Trauma Team up to. I hope this drama would be renewed for another season. Would be a total loss if it didn't. *Fingers crossed*
