It was a pretty interesting drama about pain medicine and issues about euthanasia. I thought it would be similar with beautiful mind of Janghyuk but it was different. I kinda started to like the premise but then it becomes boring in the middle that I had to skip some parts. The chemistry between him and her leading lady is not much either.

This is a program that would have gone down as an amazing movie had the characters risen to their roles. The issues discussed like eusthanasia and prolonging life have no straight answers. Both doctors , patients, families and caretakers go through intense pain and dilemma. The legal aspects clash with the doctors and patients decisions most times. Dying and death are not easy to decide on and the question of the role of a life saver like a doctor becoming the Terminator of pain.

Ji sung as the doctor protagonist plays his role so well. And his good looks ..the female lead was dead pan . No doctor weeps all the time like she does. Playing a role requires a lot of preparation and if those nuances aren't captured the character becomes weak.

Many issues are left open ended as should be because there are no one answer to the issues discussed. The dilemmas were well captured .

The team of young doctors stood and stared most of the time and appeared totally ignorant. I couldn't stop comparing with Dr Stranger, The Good Doctor - action packed and capturing reality powerfully.

But saw the whole program because of the powerful issues raised and Dr Cha's role.

When like me, you are from a country where euthanasia is actually legal and accepted widely across the population this series becomes a bit annoying because they keep debating about it and it just doesn't make sense to me.

Otherwise the series is interesting and the acting is great, just a bit of an irrelevant subject to me.

Interesting story on a doctor's obsession in the diagnosis and cure of often-neglected rare diseases and a good discussion on euthanasia in Asia.

In reality though, with limited medical staff and resources, most patients will not receive as much attention and diagnosis - which was also somewhat depicted in the initial episodes.

Absolutely fabulous medical drama! Incredible story: I did not expect such an amazing narrative! Every episode was completely captivating. The entire cast was so incredibly talented: the chemistry among all was unbelievably enthralling and endearing! Ji Sung's performance as Dr. John was extraordinary: he is such an exceptionally brilliant actor. Bravo to the cast, crew & writers for a wonderful emotionally riveting show! Loved it!
