●HOW I CAME TO IT
This drama was so hyped during the release, that I barely tried to watch it because of all the spoilers everywhere. And with the release of the second season, which is still running but I see no hype, I decided to watch the first season and I don’t have to wait for the second season.

●PLOT VIEW
Story of five friends who studied in same medical university comes to work at the same hospital. They form a Band as a condition of one friend to work at the hospital. This eventually keeps them together while juggling the hardships of daily life as a doctor. all of them gathering for food, music but the best was being there during the morose.
While there also touching snippets of patients which sometimes put the doctors in an awkward position and sometimes left them crying.
The hierarchy of the hospital is clearly visible but this didn’t make the series any dramatic, it was rather fresh seeing how the seniors resident poached the interns to choose their specialty. I reminisced my intern days in the Operation Room and how the seniors bossed around and super seniors asked to join the same specialty. The dreams of the medical student, to first OR experience as an intern, the first case, the first car just gives a meaningful peek of life of doctors.
The endless gossips in the cafeteria contributing to the fantastic five-story revelation was different which also showed other doctors are equally important hence a more progressive story is built with these characters.

●ACTING/CAST
In fact, the characters are all likable
Jung Kyung Ho as Kim Jun Wan is an excellent performer. His romantic track and all the humorous things he does are at point.
Jo Jung Suk as Lee Ik Jun is the first time I watched him and he took me over with his witty performance. He's believable and has a kind of goofy personality, clever and quick-thinking in his job.
Jeon Mi Do as Chae Song Hwa is a fine artist considering this is her first main lead work. She is talented and has a pace she will go a long way in the future.
Kim Dae Myung as Yang Suk Hyung portrayed his caring mama boy character with excellence.
Yoo Yeon Seok as Ahn Jung Won has seen him in other series as a doctor, he was cute as a pediatrician and did his job well. But considering how strong I have seen him, this was my least favorite one.

●MUSIC
The music was good, I thought it soundtracked each episode with due discretion, never overpowering the scene. All the songs were covers from popular 90’s tracks which also resembles the character reminiscing their university days.

●REWATCH
This drama is so light that I can watch it any day to boost up your mood. If you want you can just watch one episode and it will give warmth.

●FAV SCENE
Lee Ik Jun and his son's moments are my favorite moments from the show.

●APPRECIATION
There's an ever-present light undertone to the drama which I personally found charming. No trace of melodrama is to be found so that you can watch with due expectations. Rather than cliche life and death situation in hospitals, it emphasizes the humanism of the professionals.

●RECOMMENDATION
Anyone who likes friendship-themed series, this is highly recommended. It's also a good one to be watched with the whole family.

●AFTERTHOUGHT
Considering this drama can be watched with a single episode without any urge for the next episode I decided to watch season 2. yeah there are no spoilers which are excellent and also the season1 ended with a cliffhanger. So I am in time to watch season2.
