What makes me watch the drama initially is because I am a medical student so I have interest in medical dramas. However, I find this drama totally different from the other medical dramas I have watched such as Good Doctor and Medical Top Team.
Why do I say so? Usually medical dramas are focused on the medical stuffs and the management of the hospital. But for ER Couple, it shows not only these, but the relationships between the main casts - romance and friendship. This makes the drama awesome as they actually relate the medical parts into their relationships. For example, medical errors are commonly made, which implies in life which you will often meet many obstacles. You can get what I mean if you watch the very last part of the last episode - the part Jinhee narrates.
I really like how the drama shows how Jinhee managed to overcome her fear and to take the risk bravely in order to be with Changmin. She transformed from a little girl who is cowardly facing her relationships into a brave woman who is willing to have the courage in order to create her own happiness.
Another thing that I really love is actually the characters in this show, especially Chief Gook and Prof. Shim. Chief Gook shows the care towards Jinhee in a cold way and he does not even interfere her love life at all. Usually second male leads will just use any means to get the female lead, but well, not for Chief Gook! As for Prof. Shim, I was actually shocked by her character portrayed. At first I thought she is a common second female lead who likes one of the male leads and well, the love rectangle happens. But it doesn't seem to be that case for her. Even though the viewers can see that she still loves Chief Gook, but she doesn't show out those kind of jealousy and instead, she helps him out a lot by telling him to be more brave and confess to Jinhee. I really admire this kind of women because they are truly good friends.
I also like how they show the progress of Changmin's mother to Jinhee, from hatred to neutral, like how she realised that controlling her son's life doesn't make him even happy at all.
Also, I really love Jin Ae and Kwangsoo and Baby Gook! They do make this drama merrier.
I believe that this drama has a moral value behind it - to tell us to believe in miracles and believe in ourselves no matter what. Because every decision we have made for our life depends on whether we believe in oneself and our family to make our decisions unregrettable. (:
