Beautiful Mind

One thing i hate about Kdramas (or many be it's Korean culture?) is when the male actor runs and grabs the arm of the female unnecessarily. It's ridiculous when the other person is 3 meters away and a couple of loud calls would suffice to draw her attention.

Another thing to hate- unrealistic show-off by the protagonist who is supposed to be a professional like a doctor. One would think such people would be mature-sober kind.

I found both these in the 1st episode itself. Add- cartoonish villain who tells his evil plan in open, a police officer who can't detect 'it's murder' even after seeing the car hit a person after changing into reverse gear. All these within 1st 20 minutes. For a show touted as realistic medical drama, it's big letdown.

The female lead is excellent and may as well salvage this.

" beautiful mind "" The best kdrama i ever watched...

Hidden at the center of over-dramatic scenarios and ridiculous medical cases that would never happen (yes, I understand this is a drama but still this was pretty over the top) was a decent story about a man who cannot empathize with others.

The supporting cast was a bit too large, but some of those supporting members were some of my favorites. The silly and unrealistic medical cases were frustrating to watch, because the central story was really good and heartwarming. Jang Hyuk was a fantastic actor in this, conveying so much emotion with very few expressions. The way he comes to learn about emotions and falls in love was extremely romantic and heartwarming.

The FL was so great in this, never annoying and she made understandable decisions and had realistic reactions. I loved them together, although I felt the chemistry was somewhat lacking.

Overall I was very engaged in the story, but found a lot of it was too overly dramatic. I definitely would not rewatch this either.

Very engaging and interesting storyline. The main actors were brilliant!

This is an amazing thing to watch. This series is definitely one of the best medical dramas out there. The main character Lee Yeong-oh is one of the most interesting, most wonderous things to see. Just watching him lights up the screen. You just keep wanting to see him more. He is also accompanied by an equally wonderous character, Gye Jin-seong. Her importance rises at the later episodes of this series. My one and only disappointment is that the series was only 14 episodes. 20 episodes would have definitely satisfied my hunger for more. Yup, the series is just that good. A must watch!!!
