Story:
A simple or predictable story with good acting and execution is better than a complex story that loses its direction. For that reason, I decided to give the story a 9 because of how well the drama developed, even though the story wasn't out of the ordinary. The first few episodes were a little slow and melodramatic (major turn off), but it redeems itself quickly and prove to be really entertaining. Despite the sad theme, the drama managed to be both funny and positive. This is one of those longer dramas that actually get better and better as it progresses.

Acting:
Everyone acted pretty well. I particularly watched this because of Moon Chae Won, but I quickly found her character boring and unlikable. It was my first time watching a drama with Han Hyo Joo and she was really natural in her role as the female lead; it almost seem like the positive part of her role matches her real personality. Her scenes with Lee Seung Gi were definitely the highlights of this drama for me.

Music:
The music was adequate. I don't miss it or anything.

Rewatch Value:
I would specifically skip scenes between 2 characters if I were to rewatch this. I think it'll come obvious when you watch it too. However, I think the rest of the drama really made up for it.

Overall
Thinking about all those scenes that I enjoy makes me want to give this a 9. However, the scenes I disliked just went by so slow that I wouldn't even want to sit through it if I was occupied with other things. For that reason, I give this drama an 8.

This is a drama that you'll either love or at the very least enjoy. While many will rate this drama with a score of 9-10, I'm going to give it an overall grade of 8. (To be fair, I'm a little picky and never rate a drama with a 10.)

Story
The first two episodes of this drama really grabbed my attention. Just the pilot episode itself was emotional, exciting, and funny without feeling forceful at all. The most rewarding aspect of this drama is the character development and interactions; it was very convincing despite the major changes in most characters. However, with that said, I felt there were moments of fillers. Also, despite being a medical drama, I would say this focused more on their relationships/personal situations, such that even for surgeries, it was more about whether to do the surgery or not (or that's how I felt about it)

Acting/Cast
The acting and cast were excellent. Everyone did a good job. Particularly, Park Shi On (played by Joo Won) did an awesome job in portraying the role of an autistic; I think he'll be highly recognized for it. Doctor Cha (played by Moon Chae Won) Also did a good job. Moon Chae Won is actually one of my favorite Korean actresses, but I was a little afraid based on the teaser trailer that she'll play a passive character. However, I was wrong and really enjoyed her character here as well. Their chemistry was also impressively convincing.

Music
I'm not much of a music expert, so I don't really have much input. All I would say is that it felt suitable, but not great enough for me to want to listen to the ost on its own.

Re-watch Value
It's definitely re-watchable. I rated 8 because I cannot ignore the fact that I would skip a good amount of parts. Although many dramas do have moments of filler as well, I still feel that I have to include that to the equation.
