ONE OF THE BEST DRAMAS EVER TOP 5 FOR SURE 1000/10 <3 I CRIED MY ASS OFF FEELING SUPER EMOTIONAL ESPECIALLY DURING THE LAST EPISODE I REALLY DIDN'T WANT IT TO END. This drama introduced me to Lee Dong Wook and he is truly one of the best actors to ever exist! As a person knowing how it is to deal with disabilities, I was surprised at how well he portrayed the character. It was absolutely flawless he got me shook in every scene! His every single facial expression was insanely accurate it brought me to tears every time; depressed while trying his hardest to fight through "Life" and the love and hate relationship he had with himself and the people surrounding him were flawlessly portrayed. Though he had been given the hardest role (while everyone else had really vibrant roles and had a lot to play with), he draws you in and steals the show in my opinion. No one else on this planet could bring such a complex character this beautifully to life wow just wow!
The brothers owned my whole heart in EVERY SINGLE scene they had. Their every scene was full of emotion, heavy, authentic and just too beautiful for this world. This drama simply depicted real-life human emotion and struggles. It was too real that for the first time ever, I truly did not feel like I was watching a drama.. The emotions and reactions depicted were so accurate to real life that I am still mesmerized just thinking about it. This drama is a masterpiece and a must-watch! I will definitely be rewatching this masterpiece soon <3
+this is the first time I saw Lee Dong Wook in a drama and OMG he is literally one of the best actors ever! He can depict any emotion through his eyes in a second! he completely took my breath away in his every scene <3

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.
Some of Korea's best actors, but not their best work, and the writing has several narrative gaps. Additionally, it's not a medical show, but a story of power plays that often didn't make much sense. It's worth a watch for the actors, but even so, I was not impressed. There are too many exceptional KDramas that this one IMO doesn't match.
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.
