After finding out that the writer of Stranger and also the Male Lead in Stranger were going to be in this drama, plus the addition to Lee Dong Wook who I know is a very good actor. I knew I was into a very good drama just from all those factors alone. When starting the show I thought it was just going to be about Jin Woo fighting against injustice ( Which you could say it was ), but infact this story was about many things; the power struggle between the doctors and Hwajeong, the relationships between the characters and also the mental health of others.

This wasn't my first drama for alot of the actors in this drama so I knew what to expect with the actors and also the writing since it's made by a trustworthy writer. Every character in this show had a play in the story no matter how big it was.

With the Main character in my eyes, Jin Woo. He basically represents the set of people who are not in a high position and who are also vunerable to people high on the ladder and shows us what to do. I really liked his character in this story because he wasn't overly cocky nor too much of a push over. His relationships throughout the show were fun to watch and I liked to see how they developed throughout the drama. His relationship with his brother was truly beautiful in my opinion it's how all relationships with brothers should be. The last scene between the brothers honestly nearly made me cry because how touching it was because Seon Woo really like the ocean so to just see them having fun was nice to see. Jin Woo romance in this was also cute to watch although it's not the main focus, it gave both us and Jin Woo a breather from all the politics happening in the hospital, I really like the actor who play Seo Hyun which was Jin Woo's love intrest and I've seen her in only one past drama so I will definatly watch more of her stuff. Also the imaginary Seon Woo which Jin Woo made in his head was also quite sad to see because even though it's Seon Woo on the outside, everything he said was just what Jin Woo was thinking even if he didn't say it outloud or in his head, Seon Woo basically told him. I also like how he confided in Seo Hyun about the Seon Woo in his head and she accepted it and asked to meet him so that probably removed a huge weight of his chest.

Now with the second Main character with was Goo Seung Hyo, I actually really liked his character, one reason was because I got to see a didfferent side of teh actor who played Hwang Si Mok in Stranger who was a pretty 2D charater due to him not feeling emotions. Seung Hyo was basically the proxy antogonist in this show, I say proxy because he begins to changed ever soo slightly due to the introduction of Lee No Eul in which was the first person he became intrested in. He acted all tough all tough and acted like nothing affected him but on the inside he is actually soft and care about things and that's what No Eul saw in him and that's why she started to like him. I'll admit at first I wasn't a fan of thier ship because I felt bad for Seon Woo but as time went on I started to like the ship ( Only took me 16 episodes to realise that and I wished I liked it from the start).

The OST in the show was quite standard as nothing particually stood out to me but I did enjoy it as it added to the scenes.

Overall I really enjoyed this drama as it was a nice switch up from the Romace Drama which I allways watch as Romance is my favourite genre. This show and Stranger made me appreciate non-romance center based plots and I will definetly watch more of shows like these where they focus more on the world building rather than the Relationship between the two leads.
