Slow-paced but worthwhile?

I went into this expecting a slow, slice-of-life drama and got exactly that. The main couple, Kyoka and Seita, are extremely awkward to say the least, and it hurt a bit to watch sometimes. But for some reason, that was what charmed me about them, and I found myself enjoying every little bit of their awkwardness. It's also those slow and comfortably tense moments that I felt that I could see the leads' acting shine through. I don't think I would have continued through and finished watching otherwise, as the drama itself isn't anything extraordinary, so extra points for the main leads (and the rest of the cast really).

Something casual yet heartwarming

Honestly wasn't sure what to expect going into this because I saw some mixed opinions on it but was drawn to it regardless because of its focus on pharmacists in the hospital. I don't think I've ever come across a topic like this before in my experience and found it a nice, refreshing point-of-view since when I think medical drama I always automatically think of doctors. About how realistic it is, I wouldn't be able to say because I don't have knowledge of the field, but I found myself too absorbed in the drama to be too worked up about it anyway.

Now that I've finished the whole series, I can say with full confidence that it definitely was a nice, casual drama to watch on the side and feel all cozy as the drama leads us through the different patients. I loved how it shows their lives continuing outside (or inside) the hospital at the end of each episode as well, it really tied in the whole "everyone has their own life outside of the hospital" thing they were going for. Although I do admit that I got a bit too tired of all the "emotional" speeches and moments near the end, I wish they could've spaced it out more or something, it felt a bit too unnatural or forced sometimes, especially after watching the same pattern each episode and multiple times in some as well.

On another note, I'm currently obsessed with the OST "YES AND NO" and I wish there was a version that starts slow like it does in the drama but had no luck finding it anywhere. Overall it was a nice watch whenever I had time on the side and I can see myself coming back to watch certain parts.

Loved it!

Wow this is the best drama I've watched in a while! I can't believe I just let it sit in my to-watch list for so long... I was hooked throughout the whole drama. I also really loved the ending! I usually don't like drama endings but I think they ended this one well, I was very satisfied with it. It didn't feel rushed or anything. Also as a huge fan of Goblin I enjoyed this even more, it was fun seeing how the writer interpreted their version of life after death and the supernatural. I'm not the type to rewatch dramas but I would rewatch it with a friend or family member!
