This drama is so so so beautifully written. It indeed is about "Life". There isn't a single moment wasted. It'll keep you engaged from the beginning to the end. 'What next?' Is the question that'll always be on your mind. The drama starts off really slow and too much of hassle in the beginning, if you pick up the interest from there then you'll definitely end up watch the whole series if not then you'll probably drop after episode 1. Each and every character is so unique. They have all acted so well. The actors have put 'Life' to the characters. The end also isn't shown as the perfect victory by the doctors who fought which makes it even more realistic. However, the ending is perfectly perfect. Special mention to Mr. Gu's character, that is the whole best thing about the drama. He'll keep you engaged. He'll make you wonder what he is actually.. is he good ? Is he bad? Hats off to the writer. Indeed a great one. It deserves more appreciation than it got.

This really is about "life".

It shows the struggles of essential services like hospitals and the money-hungry nature of huge conglomerates.

You get so invested in the characters life and struggles that you cant help but feel emotional. The relationship between the two brothers was especially hard-hitting and I (a 29 year old male) found myself tearing up towards the end of the series.

This isn't a romance hospital series like a lot are. This is about scheming and backstabbing and the two protagonists doing what they think is right, and potentially changing their views along the way.

I'm surprised that this show isn't rated higher than 8 stars at least. Absolutely worth your time!

This series has an amazing ensemble cast, all individually outstanding actors, who work together brilliantly. The first half of the series was gripping, tense and had a real sense of foreboding about what was to come wrt the Chairman and his meglomaniac control of the hospital. The various subplots, the relationship between the Ye brothers, the budding romance between no Eul and Mr Gu, the under-appreciated Organ donor officer, the whole question of whether Mr. Gu was a decent man or merely duplicitous, were all enthralling and entirely believable. But then it seemed to lose its way. Without wishing to spoil anything, the series ended with NOTHING happening. A minor boardroom skirmish at best and a lot of unfinished storylines. I hope there will be a second series because the first established some fabulous characters and storylines. The series has such potential and such great acting that it would be a shame if it just stops where it did. First time for me to view a Korean drama and I enjoyed how stylish and slick the cinematography was and how unusual the editing is, relative to western tv. Well worth a binge.

There are a number of interesting story lines and characters in this series. Some get close to a soap opera-ish feel, but, all in all, well done. Good acting and cinematography and a pretty interesting soundtrack, too, When this series works, which is most of the time, it really works well, Also a good window into modern Korea. Recommended for people who like dramas.

This series is a medical drama but as another reviewer mentioned this show is not really about medicine and more about the power going on behind the scenes. I actually really enjoy those types of shows, so I went ahead and watched it. I think this show is worth a watch, but not something amazing that I would recommend to a friend. Probably a solid 6-6.5 but rounded up to a 7 because I really love the actors and I think they did a great job. The ending felt a little dull after all the drama, and not necessarily earned either. I wanted some more resolution at the end, but it just fell a little flat. Either way, not a bad show, just not a great one.
