yeah and it makes no sense in terms of styling with where it's geographically located lol

I saw season 2 so I can answer you question 😅🤣

I cannot stop laughing how Thailand knows their target audience in the western counties that that's probably why everything is so European royalty coded in terms of aesthetics 🤣 Also 12 years old Disney Fans coded 🤡

But also, I don''t know... it kind of bothers me how European coded the cultural background of this imagined land is... coz like why? It's literally in Asia no? Where is this level of European influence even be coming from? Thai culture is so rich and grand and beautiful... Not that European is not, but the same way I would find it strange if a Polish production made a show that is clearly influenced by any Asian country while also setting it among other European countries, the same way it seems off here. It's just yet again another prove that the whole show is based on aesthetics alone...

I don't know. Like I love cheesy and ridiculous cringe trope filled romance like any other girl, but when they try to build the plot to be more than a royal romance adding like politics and historical background and it's all so juvenile in quality I cannot 🤣

That said, I appreciate how both Khanin and Charan do not trust the king and feel like something is sus. With how everything is dumb and illogical, I appreciate any moment of clarity.

Ramil, Paytai and Prince Rachata's dynamic and story I find FAR more interesting and less annoying because it's more "local" and personal. Everything happens behind closed door and is focused on the connection and power and control between them, so we do not seen any additional ridiculous external context.

That said, I'm happy for people who enjoy it and I'm 100% so happy to see people analyzing it and dissect every little moment and interaction coz from personal experience I know that makes drama watching even more enjoyable.

I would have liked to see Minato struggle more consistently with his desire; but what we got is a man who seems to be quite content with the way things are for the most time.< had a bit similar thought. How I saw it was that things were happening around and to Minato without him actively taking part in it, and he was reacting to them at the moment and then... nothing. There was no deeper reflection, nor change in his behavior etc. He was stuck in the cycle of copy paste reactions...

I was for sure more mad at the mother. I think as a mother she has an obligation to prioritize her son, while Uncle had no real obligation to anyone so him acting like a coward for me was more justified.

She ALWAYS prioritized herself, her feelings, her pain, her fears. Not once was her son her priority. She he should have been.

In also sucked, but I did see him has less of the evil. Wang should obviously not end up with him, coz they would just live in a limiting "safe bubble" together never truly staying true to themselves, and that's just sad. Wang is brave enough to explore, while both the mother and In were too cowardly and in denial.

I honestly feel like this is a vibe driven type of a drama - one either vibes with it or not 🤣

I liked how it was mild 🤣🤣🤣 For me it was fun intentional mundane mild, not the boring we don't care mild hahaha

Yeah I think there is a high chance you would not watch it if you have seen HP, coz it's similar in the genre. Both are for sure more slice of life in medical setting, rather than medical dramas with slice of life.

My personal preference when it comes to medical dramas leans towards bustling hospital corridors, tense surgeries or a team coming together when lives are at stake under pressure. < okay so yeah, we just like completely different thing in medical shows, coz I actually praised this drama for showing how mundane and not thrilling working at hospital often is 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Your opinion hurts my little heart, but I still think it's a great review 💖💖

So by the end some unexpected feelings happened lol

🙂I was not mad about the mild closer for some things.
🔥Pyo Nam Gyeong became my favorite character from the main cast.
🥲The 1h and 40 minutes last episode seemed so fucking short I am mad, I need more.
🥰Without going into details one love line was I curious about coz of the dynamics was kind of meh, and the other that seemed at first like an afterthought, gave me biggest butterflies with one scene.
😭 I want one season for each residency year

Overall, damn I enjoyed it WAY MORE than I expected after episodes 1-2. It grew on me a lot, so did characters. I love how there were no impressive and massive character development, just people learning how to deal with their flaws.

I love how a lot of cases were mundane, and it was not all high tension epic thrills in ER. As an office worker I like how they presented working in a hospital in less glamorized fashion - them doctors also spend hours filling papers and doing boring shit. Completely different field than mine, but still managed to be so relatable in many areas.

My Review: https://kisskh.at/profile/theKate/review/455850

Is it fun? Sure.
It is also extremely fucking dumb to the point I feel like they did ZERO work on the plot and logics and just focused on aesthetics? Also yes.

1. The only person with actual brain seems to be the bad guy. I am rooting for the bad guy. Everyone else just seems painfully irresponsible.
2. I hope the fencing is not the only way the pick the rulers, coz what the actual fuck would that be.
3. Apparently spaghetti is not italian anymore, it's a food from a lad that does not exist they created (just create a random dish that does not exist too, why steal from Italy lol).
4. They be putting aesthetics over logic so bad it's cinge - why the fuck would DNA test that just gives you percentage need to fucking load. My phone is apparently better technology than their fancy shit.
5. The way the whole economy of ALL the regions is based on one specific material they export lol No one specialized in anything else than gold, diamonds, pearls lol
6. The truest villain is the grandpa. Fuck him. Omg not only he awful he is also dumb. I think this is where they are leaning, that he is in fact the evil mastermind, and it's either annoyingly obvious, or annoying poorly done red herring.
7. THEY NEED TO FUCKING STOP WITH THE SMOOTHING FILTER ON ZEE'S FACE. It's tragically bad. Like, it's basically distracting. I cannot focus on anything except how his nose literally blends into his face in some shots. They are doing him so dirty with the filters...

That said, i still be seated for new episode next week 🤡

with no that much pleasure either 🤣

I did enjoy it, i just do not understand why coz I truly have barely anything good to say about it 🤣

if at least the angst had solid basis and good resolution. But no, they kept adding really serious issues, he cried and got depressed, and then they dropped some random quick fix 🥲

Somehow I was even more angry about the manager "pretending" to want to assault Akin to make a point. Like what the fuck was that? It's one thing when a trash asshole does a bad thing, but when a person who is on your side pulls a stunt like that? It was just gross as fuck.

And when the revealed he was not assaulted, and it was treated like not a big deal, when Akin still did face the trauma of thinking he was assaulted. How Jin framed it uner "you did not make a mistake" as if it actually happen it would be his mistake, and not a crime done to him? I don;';t know what the fcuk happened there but I was annoyed 🥲

Johnny's arc still makes me 🤬

if it was just dumb i would be fine, but I'm still angry about the victim blaming in the sexual assault bit 🥲

If I had to rate this drama based on just the chemistry between the leads and their acting, this was 10/10 for me. < same. The acting was amazing and the chemistry was just 🔥🔥🔥

The way we agree on the objective points, but vibed differently so it led to different subjective rating 😅 Love it. Even our review titles kind of match 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

when it was airing I lived for the second couple 😭

The color hue I personally only truly noticed in one scene, a lot of it was things I read about and was pointed out to be by other and then I added the more character analysis to it 😅

None of her actions have resulted issues for the hospital or professors < this is my issue tho... coz in a hospital that is extremely unpredictable place, her luck is just ridiculous. The fact none of her patients yet had any serious issues coz of her behavior is a miracle.

It's not like the drama is focused on realism, it's not. Why be "realistic" about that one annoying character. They obviously lean towards slice of life genre, but her character gives me soft makjang. She just stands out negatively too much and is too shallow - she basically ruins the picture of the show for me. At least make her more complex - give her some bad and good characteristics. But she is just annoying and incompetent bitch and that's it.
