If product placement bothers you that much, don’t ever watch Thai dramas, lol.

Thank you! This is a great idea! So many people approach dramas with only binary gender and sexuality in mind and that interferes with being able to appreciate the full spectrum of humanity. Another example is in BL shows, when a guy thinks “I can’t be gay, I like women” as if bi- and pansexuals don’t exist. Thanks for sharing your insight.

As a doctor, a lot of the medical scenes in the beginning were ridiculous and I could never connect with the female lead after that. Especially when the two women surgeons were bickering. Also, when the Arab leader guy was hemorrhaging and she insisted that they “properly take down the adhesions” before stopping the bleeding, I was literally screaming at the TV. You ALWAYS stop the bleeding first, not fiddle with adhesions and squeeze in a transfusion that is going to come flooding right back out again. Ugh.

But it’s not a BL. The director made a major point of stating that before the series aired. I’m still not sure why they made a series full of BL actors and tropes while specifically stating that it’s not BL, but it is what it is.

She is in less than half of the episodes. She is not a major character at all. The show was mostly enjoyable for me, but I can’t tell you whether it will be worth it to you or not. Most relationships were unresolved and you would have to watch the 8 episodes of WTD Final Call to wrap everything up.

Yes, I adore Kizumi! I have re-watched The Novelist so many times! <3

If you really want to know “what about Kuzumi?” Then you absolutely have to watch this show. The ending made me so happy!

My thoughts exactly. If the male leads weren’t so attractive, I would have given up on it, or at least skipped to the last episode to see how it ended because there were about 20 episodes of complete nonsense before the ending.
