I don't understand why this drama isn't rated higher. 7.9 isn't bad, but I feel that this drama was better than that. Sure, it dragged on at some points, but this drama stayed true to what I thought Yong Pal's character should be - a hero. He started off as the illegal medical practitioner to save his sister, and then he gave up his practice to do the same. The end goal is what was important to him, and along the way, he started to care for Han Yeo Jin (Kim Tae Hee). I understand that some people wanted more medical scenes, but that was one of the stated dilemmas of this show. Yong Pal was trapped and wasn't able to be the doctor he wanted to be. This show deals with health care in a broader sense, especially for profit organizations like the hospital Yong Pal worked for. Not to mention, the casting and acting was wonderful. I mean, c'mon, it's Joo Won and Kim Tae Hee. How could it not be? What I'm trying to say is don't be fooled by the ratings. This show may not be a solid 10 (I thought it was while watching it but I can definitely understand some of the short comings outlined in other reviews) but it was definitely enjoyable. I highly recommend it!
