Nice article you've got there! I always forget that people who doesn't work in the medical field might take advices from dramas because they think is right. Sometimes I think that certain scenes are so stupid that it should be obvious to everyone how stupid it actually is. So, I think this article made some really important things quite clear to many people ;)
As for the scrubbing. Well, I think this a part that differs from country to country as it seems (I'm a medical assistant). Things have changed regarding that (at least where I come from). Surgeons aren't supposed to scrub their hands so "fiercefully" anymore (if they didn't dig up dirt right before ;)). They do clean them normally with verified medical soap and (before the first operation of the day and if they don't leave the OP for the rest of the day - depending on the duration of one op and how many follow before the first break) they clean above and underneath their nails with a soft sterile brush, before they do the desinfection part (and after that the sterile gloves, etc).
They changed the scrubbing because of micro injuries of the skin which would ultimately increase the risk of infection and hinder the performance of the surgeon.
But with all these rules, first thing should always be nails as short as possible ;)
(But again: This applies for my country and can and will differ from other parts of the world)
Agree with almost everything you said about the drama ;) Esp. the second leads were unnecessary. There was no point in their story, esp. since everything went back to the beginning in the end...
The only thing I disagree with is Sindy. I actually quite liked her character and the change she went through ;))
I enjoyed watching this show quite a lot. The instrumental music was great, the beginning was awesome.
Even though I can't complain about the acting in general, I did enjoy the teenager waaaaay more. The adult versions were good, but in certain situations they seemed shy/not in character to each other. Their later scenes felt somewhat staged.
Nam Da Reum is such an awesome young actor that I wish him all the best, that he won't be exploited and that his future career will always be bright.
The big villain was a played so, so well. Heo Joon Ho was just someone in Emperor: Owner of the Mask, but here he was remarkable. The character lost its teeth in the second half, but I do think that was intentional since the teenagers grew up and overcame their past fears in comparison.
Hyun Moo. Great character as well throughout the drama. His development was one of the best parts.
The story was solid, I didn't discover any major plot holes, and they followed the red thread without going astray. Though there were some situations where you ask yourself "How stupid come someone be?".
The finale was... well, very basic and even a bit too "symbolic", imo.
Really good article ;) I think I'm the Doubter and the Post-Watcher.
When it comes down to writing, I prefer to write a review after watching it all. But I do get your point with dramas that run a very long time. I never thought about that before and I can see the problem that arises with those when wanting to write a review for the WHOLE show.
I usually take one till two hours to write a review... :'D There's also the language barrier which makes it hard for me to find the right expressions sometimes.
Since I completely changed my line of work (from hotel business to medical assistance), I can totally relate to your decision, even though I'm only going through a vocational training and not studying ;) I've been interested in medical stuff as far as I can remember, but I never considered taking that path in the past. And even though k-drama was not the pushing factor, it still made it a lot more appealing to me.
And I'm so happy about my decision because my work life has become so much better and way more interesting.
Congratz on following your dream and best wishes to your future!
I heard the ending sucks? Can someone describe it w/o spoilers? Is it an open ending, tragic ending?
It's an open ending. It doesn't suck, imo. It might not be to everyone's taste (esp. if you consider personal wishes of every single viewer, no matter if it would be right or wrong) but it's quite fitting and the most logical one considering the story and the characters ;)
You can definitely write about older dramas, too! There are a few "standard" article formats for this:- Review:https://kisskh.at/article/thoughts-on-because-this-is-my-first-life-1220172196https://kisskh.at/article/review-fullmetal-alchemist-live-action-2017-0226182328-…
Ah, okay. Good to know! Also thanks for the examples! ;)
I always wondered... CW articles only include those dramas that are currently airing. But let's say you want to write about a drama you yourself are watching for the first time (or are just finished watching it), but it's an older drama. So, basically it would be more like a review in article form... What about those?
I came across this movie before. Although it looks interesting, the scoring and some comments put me off.I am…
I don't know why the rating is so low. The movie is not that bad actually. I like that it's calmer and that you get at least a chance to feel with the character.
I'm not a fan of splatter movies either. Just because they are kinda... boring? I need a the scary feeling of it, like you do.
Thank you! It was a little different to the others after all.
It does! Though I won't read it today since I have to go to sleep now >.< But I will within the next few days... I hope :''D Within the week my time is always short due to my long drives to and from work... :/
