An awkwardly put together drama at times but still very endearing and worth watching.

The story was very simple and very surface level. Some of the main characters lack depth, our male lead in particular, Dr Ye Je Wook. It almost feels like he's not a main character, but rather a support character. His past isn't much looked into as far as his past relationship goes and while I appreciate that it doesn't follow the typical story of the Ex trying to break up his relationship with Bo Young, it's basically dropped entirely. Just stuff like this could've been done to boost the whole series. The finish of the series sort of ends on a squib too with a few people saying goodbye and there being no real follow up. They didn't make good use of the pacing either. But don't worry about the criticisms as the characters are all enjoyable inspite of their flaws such as Bo Young being a cry-baby, Shin Min Ho being a child basically, etc as it kinda makes theme more relatable and easier to like in the end. One addition to the drama I like is the side duo in the Radiology department. The comedy between those two is consantly one-point. They are both the opposite people but the same people. The whole hospital cast makes the show and story worthwhile. What is also a highlight is the relationship between Bo Young and Dr Ye. It's very sweet, even before they get together. The triangle wasn't a great part of the drama as Min Ho works much better as the friend throughout the show but I get why it's in there.

The acting is good. It fits the tone of the show and it's plots when convinent. The leads are all strong, even if they aren't the best developed. The chemistry between the cast was nice. Even when they were mean to each other, it was all endearing .
