I think the most unnecessary romance plot so far is the how silly Min Hyeok acts. I hope they also do not force any unnecessary legal plot, comedy bits, melodrama, hidden connected past, medical issues, or anything else for that matter. I hope they do continue to ease into the obvious chemistry both leads have, and if that leads somewhere, no one should complain. I am sure some will though.

Did someone call for The Oath of Love?

As an international viewer, I do think it might be hard for us to understand (and accept) the process that dramas have to go through in China.

I feel like it has to be asked... October 2022?

Hopefully this drama will air before the historical tag needs to be added to it.

The Korean version of Legal High, but Legal High is more fast paced, literally.

An opinion should, but does not necessarily have to be based on facts or understanding. I do not think facts support it being pretty boring, but some of your other thoughts have merit.

Great acting, excellent choice of setting, and heartfelt stories with a splash of romance all around. JCW consistently delivers, and to those that want to see him be the Healer or K2 all the time, thankfully he does not listen.

I feel the writers and those involved with the project must have had deep connection with the subject of terminal illness or losing loved ones and family bonds or lack thereof. Even considering that they were amplified for dramatic effect, those scenes really hit home for me and for quite a few viewers I am sure. I do think that most of the gangster related stuff might have been culled from dramas and movies because that seemed so out of place. Yoon Gyeo Re had a past, we all do, but the way they chose to fill it and show it was distracting (for lack of a better word). Thankfully, the drama tried to cram it all in a few later episodes, so it did not ruin the first half, nor linger in the final episode.

Yoon Gyeo Re should garner JCW many awards based on talent. Just about everyone should be commended for their acting here. I also thought Won Ji An's Ha Joon Kyung really stood out as well. You could really see the depths of their characters. Choi Soo Young might always be recognized as a member of Girls' Generation first, but she can act as well.

This drama is not for everyone, and it does have its share of things that viewers might find problematic, but all dramas do. I do think it is worth giving it a chance. It manages to tackle deep subjects with a light touch. It almost felt like I was watching it with someone holding my hand. That was the feeling I got.

With only two episodes out, it is really hard to know how they will answer that question, but I am operating under the assumption that it is with savings, bartering his services, and goodwill of clients/associates/friends/acquaintances. He seems to just be scraping by right now (and staying one step ahead of the landlord), so I would call it a plot divot more than some massive, glaring plot-hole.

Drama and actor pages can draw commenters of all types, but as long as the articles are not about scandals, articles are usually a comfortable and supportive place to share thoughts.

Murphy's law must be in effect because as soon as I finished typing my original response about not binging, I clicked on a drama on YouTube and proceeded to watch five episodes in a row. I do not think the overall drama is that great, but I still want to watch more later. I guess I am still fine-tuning my drama sense.

Just about every other drama in the history of dramas: "Hold my beer."

As for the question to binge or not, I have found the more dramas I have watched, the less likely I will binge. Partially because I have watched all the ones I thought I would binge, and also I feel like I am a more efficient drama watcher. When watching Asian dramas was new to me, I was a voracious watcher. I could not get enough from Netflix and YouTube. Then I moved to other sites like Viki. I do not want to say I became a connoisseur, but the enjoyment I got from watching any Asian drama lessened as I began to look at more popular dramas and realized that quality was starting to matter. Finally, I have found my taste in dramas, and shed what I think are bad habits like "having" to binge, or "never" dropping a drama. I am still surprised by dramas from time to time, and still stumble upon dramas I would have never thought I would like and enjoyed them.

I do think the history of articles about drama watching is proof that there are no set rules that viewers have for watching (and enjoying) dramas. I suspect that even for the individual viewer, the rules or standards they use vary depending on any number of factors. It does for me. I am a fan of reading articles on this site, but even more so, I enjoy looking down at the comments to see what others think as well. Not everyone has the motivation to write an article, but leaving a comment is pretty easy. Thanks for taking the time to write an article that shares your love for dramas in a way that encourages others to share their thoughts about dramas as well.

PS: I have said a few times here that I wanted to see more of Kim Seul Gi because she is so talented and beautiful, but this is not exactly how I envisioned it.

Where can I find accurate information regarding the development, funding, and production of this drama? <--- This is how you should ask the question if you do not want to spread rumors or gossip.

I am getting strong Legal High vibes from this drama. I really enjoyed the first two episodes. Excellent chemistry between leads.

No. There is a hospital, and there is hospice. There could be a hospice staff at a hospital, and even a hospice facility that falls under the same healthcare system as a hospital, but they are two different things. This should not even be up for a discussion. You are clearly mistaken. Of course, the word hospice could be used, but the synopsis gives the meaning for it which aids in understanding the term itself.

It is the right word to use. Facility is a place designed for a particular purpose. For a hospice, it is end-of-life care. Universities have facilities like a gym or study lounge, and hospitals have facilities like pharmacies and food services.
A hospital is more for immediate care and eventual recovery where a hospice (facility) is focused on end-of-life care with the expectation that patients are not expected to recover.

Thanks.

The OP is not the only one who seems to not get it. It is a shame that their appreciation for Healer (let's face it, this is the one most are talking about) ruins their ability to enjoy another great character performance by JCW and a really good drama.

Thanks. I have seen AvenueX's name sprinkled throughout this site and finally looked it up. I am not big on reading reviews, but watching a review seems more interesting.

I agree. The better actors and actress seem to be able to disappear into their role while bringing that character to life.

You cannot argue with someone who probably spends most of the drama yelling "Play K2! Play Healer!" at the screen.
