The best medical kdrama I've ever watched. The story is very unpredictable and fascinating. The two main character did an amazing job with the acting. Really worth watching❤

It's a good role for award winning actor Jang Hyuk, who always excels at bringing an unusual character to life. The rest of the story could be backdrop for his scenes. That includes the medical stories. I only remember two of the patients' stories that had enough air time to be of any interest. All but a few characters seemed like props, not people. Some of them seemed bizarre because they acted so inconsistently. Incongruous events that came out of the blue and that should have made me cry made me laugh out loud instead. Then, the writer herself turned a dangerous surgery into a comedy! What a confused mess! I wondered whether the series was written for Jang Hyuk. He seems to have all the good lines to say. Or did he make gold out of dross? I kept watching for Jang Hyuk and for his character's story. As muddled as that story was, he made it work. 6 stars.

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.

I just finished the drama for the second time in a few years interval and I have to say I'm still in love. I'm older now and can understand more of the concepts that I ignored for handsome male leads and the love story when I was fifteen. This was an impactful drama which is what movies should be about, they should teach you and engage all your emotions be it joy,sorrow,mirth or incredulity and this did just that. I empathized with Lee Yeongo, cheered when he started learning to feel even if it was just a little, felt sad and understood Dr Hyeon moral delimma.

I'm sad it ended with fourteen episode but I will definitely watch it again and I hope someone else gives it a chance and falls in love like I did.

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.
