This is my first time writing a review so excuse me if I sound awkward!
Okay so I think people have mixed opinions about this drama. Personally I kinda like this drama. I agree the story is kinda weak and there's little plot development but I liked how the drama felt kinda realistic. I saw some of the comments saying that only the 1st few episodes were good and afterwards it started getting all draggy and boring. I do agree that the first 6 episodes were really good and afterwards the story was kind of dragging, but I didn't find it boring. The comedy kept the drama lively and interesting. If there wasn't any comedy and this drama took a serious approach, definitely the drama should have a strong plot or at least the number of episodes should be reduced.
STORY : 6/10
~The negative side of this drama is mainly cause of the story. From episode 1 to 6 and again 18 to 20 only there was some sort of development in the plot. In between the only development was Yoo Hye Jung and Hong Ji Hong's romance.
Also the 1st and 2nd years residents and Dr Kang Kyung Joon seemed less serious at times and being a doctor, that's not very professional. I found the other doctors good though!
~However the positive side was this drama made me feel relaxed. This is my 1st medical drama but I'm sure most medical dramas are probably tense and depressing. This drama takes a more cheery approach.
Also I liked the characters of YHJ, HJH andJYD.
I like the fact that YHJ is a strong willed woman. All her past negative events made her stronger and independent. It's nice to see the main female lead being strong minded like her in this drama. Also I like the fact that she's willing to take responsibility for her mistakes without blaming anyone else...kinda makes it impossible to hate her.
I like HJH's character a lot too cause he's a nice guy who supports the woman he loves. Most K-dramas they portray the main male lead as arrogant and the second male lead as a nice guy. And always the girl ends up falling for the arrogant guy. Here for me both guys are nice and kind so it was kind of different from the usual style. And I really liked that!
For me there was chemistry between the two leads and I didn't find the initial teacher-student relationship weird. Anyway there wasn't really a relationship while she was in school. Sure both did like each other from before, but the real relationship started when they meet again later.
Also I saw that some people had commented that there wasn't any chemistry between YHJ and JYD (second male lead) , but why should there be chemistry in the 1st place? It's just a one-sided love. She sees him as a colleague/friend and she never encouraged him. Only thing was there should have been more interactions between the two of them cause since he liked her, he should have put more of an effort to try win her over.
ACTING/CAST : 8.5/10
~I have seen PSH only in You're Beautiful before and I wasn't impressed with her acting there, so I wasn't expecting much when I 1st started watching this drama. However I was pleasantly surprised to see her acting her. She played the role of YHJ well in my opinion.
I liked mainly PSH and KRW and the bad guys but the other actors played their roles well too.
MUSIC : 8.5/10
I liked all the songs and the instrumentals. I liked No Way by Park Yong-in & Kwon Soon-il and Sunflower by Younha the most from the OST's.
REWATCH VALUE : 5/10
I would just give a 5 cause although I liked the drama, the story was weak so..
OVERALL : 7/10
I liked the drama and it's ending but cause the plot was kinda weak I'd give only a 7.
Overall I liked this drama but if you're looking for complicated love triangles and an arrogant first lead, this drama is not for you. This is more of a playfully realistic and simple medical drama without unnecessary love triangles and characters.
