At first I wasn’t that interested in watching Syndrome just because I thought it was going to be just like all the other medical dramas that ended up disappointing me either in the plot department or romance. I decided to try out an episode when I heard someone finally started subbing just because I knew the 3 main actors… Story- Starts off like your typical medical drama with one of the main characters moving from a small time clinic to a big time University Hopsital. Shortly after though, the plot starts moving into a darker area. There’s multiple birth secrets, illegal surgeries, and even a surprising ending that keeps in line with the tone of the show. The writers did a fantastic job of keeping me guessing on how this drama will end. Every episode is not wasted and each scene provides a purpose. This drama is different from the other medical dramas because it focuses less on patients/surgeries and more on the lives of the Dr.’s. My only complaint is that the romance wasn’t that straight forward and kind of ambiguous in the end. Acting/Cast- Phenomenal job by the whole cast. The 3 younger leads were so good they all had chemistry together. For example, the Park Gun Hyung’s character hated Song Chang Ui’s character for the longest and you really believed that. Han Hye Jin’s character could have gone with either PGH’s character or SCU’s character because they were both likeable in different ways. The 3 main older Dr’s did an awesome job playing their roles especially the villain Dr. He was a really bad character and yet you feel sympathetic for him. Music- The score fit the darker atmosphere and the OST was very good but not enough for me to want to listen outside the show. Rewatch- It’s one of those shows that can be watched again but not for a while. Final Thoughts: All I found the plot to be fast paced and intense throughout, the romance kind of pissed me off so my enjoyment kind of dwindled at the end.
