Brilliant drama marred by fantastic impossibility

This drama is packed with good storytelling and great acting, and I would give it a higher rating if not for the main thing I'm here to talk about. Spoiler alert: In one the early episodes one of the female leads is pushed off a tall 30 or so story building and we assume she must be dead because there is no other possible outcome in real life, but the next thing you know we see her in a hospital bed with a sling on one arm and apparently no broken bones or other serious injuries.

This show is otherwise a serious drama about serious situations, not about the supernatural or a cartoon, but here is this woman that miraculously survives a fall from a skyscraper and not a single character ever questions it or otherwise even makes a single remark wondering how she could have survived it or how unusual and fantastic it is. This is the second drama I've watched recently where a character falls from a skyscraper and survives and no one questions it at all, so I'm wondering if it's a uniquely kdrama inside joke or a new trope that writers are playing with to deliberately tease their viewers.

A Hollywood production or really any kind of production I've ever heard of could not include such an event and be taken seriously thereafter because viewers would be angry at such nonsense. It was a very interesting and fun drama otherwise but that stunt left me puzzled and confused at what is going on with that.
