Loved the realistic portrayal of the OB/GYN profession
A reviewer wrote that the show wasn't realistic. I totally disagree. I was a surgical technologist for 7 years, and the show is in fact quite realistic in almost everything, particularly the OR scenes. The only parts I found questionable was the open sharing of medical information and the huge c-section incisions, they're usually much smaller than what was portrayed. Not sure what the law says about patient privacy in South Korea but in the US talking about medical information with random people is a big no. Otherwise, I found the medical part super accurate. Everything from intubation scenes, blood transfusions, and even the scrub tech was legit. Also the scenes about how important it is to get a HPV shot to prevent cervical cancer was surprising! Cervical cancer is super preventable. Get your HPV vaccine and Pap smear. I worked at a teaching hospital for a few years, and yes interns and first year residents are absolutely clueless and chaotic. Had a few pass out right in the OR, had others almost stab surgeons in the middle of emergency surgery, and other such nonsense just like in the show. I also absolutely loved the realistic portrayal of what it's like to give birth. The show showed many realistic depictions, of what happens during childbirth and what women go through. No medical show in the US would ever show such accurate scenes. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the show and was never bored.Was this review helpful to you?

I cried a lot
This drama I felt was fantastic from beginning up until episode 14. Like most everyone else, I was disappointed with how it ended. It made no sense, especially considering how much the ML and FL communicated with each other only to end up broken hearted for no real reason. Well I guess taking a job in NYC without telling your girlfriend is messed up and I would be super pissed over that. It made a lot of sense that FL did not want to go through the same thing she went through with her mom. Both people that were supposed to love her the most, almost always chose their careers over her. Clearly there were traumatic events that led to all of that but jeez, how sad is that? At times I felt this story was more about friendship, specifically the relationsoip between He-Doo and Yu-Rim while the romance was more in the background. Anyway, the ending was spoiled for me before I watched it, so I knew it was coming which is why I think I cried instead of being angry. lolOverall, I thought the acting was fantastic, the OST was so good, and the production was top notch. Everyone told me not to watch it but after finishing "Weightlifting FairyKim Bok-joo" I wanted to see more of Nam Joo-hyuk and this is where I ended up. I don't regret watching it though. Just wish it had ended differently. I still think it is worth watching, if you want your heart to get ripped out. :D
