As a doctor, I couldn't help laughing at all the impossible surgical scenarios created by the series... CTVS surgeons doing renal transplants and intra-uterine surgeries and stuff. But I liked the part about Dr Park Hun being an ingenious surgeon who could trace the surgical anomaly simply by careful observation. This is a documented fact that in olden times when there were no CT scans and MRI's then all surgeries were performed 'blind' and the skills of those surgeons were superior to our generation. Lee Jong Suk stole the show with his charm, hair style and expressions. I liked him very much in this series, simply because of the range of emotions he was able to bring into his character, never once deviating from the role. All supporting cast was good, especially his father. The villains were well casted. Some scenes turned out a bit too melodramatic but the main characters kept the fell of the series alive and I found myself rooting for the good guys right till the end! If u r a Lee Jong Suk fan then u will enjoy this series :)

This drama is incredible. It was full of suspense and the storyline was strong enough to captivate me to watch entirely. However, I did find some of the characters very dull. Overall, it was a very unpredictable drama.

This Korean Drama is really a master piece of Lee Jong Suk. Awesome Acting with the perfect blend of Romance & Comedy. I've watched this drama in 2020. But after watching this I knew that why peoples are crazy about Korean drama.. Now I'm totally into the K-drama world..

It is only because of Lee Jung Sok that I managed to finish this show. The first eight episodes is a pain, it starts to pick up momentum in Epi 9.

This is supposedly to be a TV series with a complex plot, but lose its excitement and steam while the show stretch to build up the suspense.

The four lead characters are a mixed bag. The main lead Park Hoon is average & predictable, it is only the good acting of Lee that makes it bearable to watch Park whining, whispering and moaning about Jae Hui over and over again for the first 8 episodes. Lee Jung Sok is a promising young actor who not only have a pretty face but with real acting to boost. The Park Hoon character seriously is a waste of Lee's talent. This is the irony; the second male lead's character is far more interesting. Dr Han is a determine, intense, and talented doctor. Hae Jin Park really gives this character life and make it so believable. Good actor and handsome too. The female lead - Dr Han Seung hee or Song Jae-hui. It was written to be the main focus of this show, supposedly more prominent and important than Park Hoon. Actually the character was well written but it was the ineffective BAD acting of the actress that ruined the character and to a large degree, the show. The actress has zero acting skills, expressionless and emotionless. Her trademark expression/acting is the constipated frowned look which runs for the whole series. It is as if she is always holding back her emotion, no joy, no pain ... nada... The two leads have zero chemistry and watching them hug or whispering "I love you" to each other is like watching cartoons - ridiculous and at times hilarious. Her un-stylist dress sense is another pain to watch. The worst character is the second female lead - Oh Soo Hyun, average, pathetic and selfish to the point of annoying. I do not like this character one bit. The actress however delivers the character as it was written. Oh Soo Hyun is naïve and witless; she'll do what her father wants without question. i.e. she didn't seem to mind her father's evil act of sending Park Cheol and Park Hoon to North Korea and ruin a family. All she cared/crying about is her love wasn't reciprocated. The same with Dr Han's situation, she gets all upset by Han's revenge but not how her father had wronged Han's family in the first place.

The ending, however is satisfactory, Park Hoon ending with Song is reasonable. They have known each other since childhood, their relationship was built over a long time and have a strong foundation (I wish the actress did a more credible job), they experienced the highs and lows of their life together. No way he will end up with another woman he has just met, specially the daughter of THE man who caused his father's death, his mother's insanity and ruined his life. That just doesn't make sense.

The setting of this show is unethical & unscrupulous, putting people's life for competition is unacceptable and immoral. Watching the whole surgical team wholeheartedly focus only on winning is just so wrong. The supporting cast is strong, but there are just too many unlikable characters. The chairman, the chairman's son, Dr Moon (the clown), Dr Yang (the immoral one), the sex hungry young interns who make out at every hour of every day??!! The negatives of this show is overwhelming.

Overall, if you love Lee Jung Sok or Hae Jin Park, go for it. Otherwise, skip it.

This started off with dialogue so bad, i thought it would end up as the drama i gave the lowest rating so far to. Episode 2, didn't raise my hopes too much. There is a silly chase around a pillar, which I don't think was meant to be funny. But as the show got on, it got better. It seemed to be a show that wanted to tick as many Korean type dramas as possible from extreme violence to more light hearted fare, and in between. It was only as the show went on and no longer seemed to be going for extremes that it found it's footing, or perhaps I just got used to it. Acting wise. I thought Kang So-Ra was terrific, followed by Cheon Ho-Jin, who made a great villain. In I suppose in what was the nominal female role, Jin Se-Yeon was fine. But she's probably not as good an actress as Kang So-Ra. In the lead role, Lee Jong-Suk, came across as being one of the better pretty boy actors out there. Although I really had to use my imagination to think of him as a doctor, especially when he had that HAIR. What I was a bit confused by, was who was the main female lead. Was it Kang So-Ra, or Jin Se-Yeon. To me it was Kang So-Ra, and the playful scenes between her and Lee Jong-Suk were some of the best in the series. Park Hae-Jin's performance came across as being rather one note, but maybe that was the character he played. Choi Jung-Woo could have done with toning down his performance at times. The acting from the rest of the cast ranged from adequate to good, and better.
