Standard enemies to lovers movie, but with some open conversation about sex
This movie is like a standard version of the trope mentioned above but there were some sweet scenes and cute moments. It's not super creative in terms of plot aside from the doctors using their medical expertise to insult each other. There's some signature Kdrama elements like parental pressure to get married, a distant parental figure, and a past trauma that needs to be overcome. It does touch on some sexual topics not usually explored like some reasons men may feel unconfident in their ability to perform and women feeling the need to be "tighter" to prevent men from cheating. Because of this, it seems like they knew they'd lose the more conservative viewers, so they decided to go completely in the opposite direction added in some softcore scenes that don't really serve any purpose in the movie other than to show off Ha Joo Hee's body. I was hesitant to mention that in the only review on this movie in case people only watch it for that reason, but it did come out a while ago and a lot of people probably already know. And I think that if people end up watch the whole movie even if just for that reason, they may end up becoming more educated and aware of some of the stigmas related to sex.
