Initially I started watching for Lee Jong Suk, who has proved as a very promising young actor. As the series progressed I noticed that the series has a very good plot overall. It has all genres, suspense, romance, action and you could easily characterize it as a 'medical drama'.

Lee Jong Suk has the main role, and he plays a prodigy doctor who was brought to North Korea when a politically strong individual tricked his father into going to North Korea to cure a politician during the war.

During the time he and his father where held captives and where used for their medical knowledge and expertise, Lee Jong Suk's character gained excellent medical abilities which he later on uses.

Destiny then starts to unfold.

I TOTALLY recommend this drama to anyone who likes what I've described.

Especially to Lee jong Suk!!.. Story was great!..Revenge through his skills... Young love with jaehee... Must watch

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.

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.

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 :)
