A great show that ended stupidly

i don’t even know where to begin! I’m writing this after watching the finale and i’m kind of mad. This series has been pretty damn good, but the writing in key moments has been hit and miss. I don’t write a lot of reviews, but i’ll stay mad if i don’t put down somewhere.

Let me start with the good first. Casting was damn near perfect. Kang young Wang and Jung So Min were perfect and their chemistry was great. All the second and third leads were cast extremely well too.

Story line and plot was very entertaining and kept me on my seat the whole time. To go 20 episodes and not make me feel bored is not an easy task. I haven’t binged watched a drama this good since another miss oh. So min was so hilarious with the intern and her control over her facial expressions is always amazing. Young Wang is really talented. He handles his roles so well and this was no different.

The bad. The worst thing first. Why in the heck do we waste almost an half an hour of the finale on the evil hospital director??? This man attempted to kill his brother in law, other patients, cover up malpractice, try get numerous doctors licenses suspended and fire people left and right. So why in F**K does he get a send off of cheers out of the hospital??? Stupid writing!!

Second thing. is there no punishment for any of these characters???

Dr Han, malpractice and corruption = no punishment
Dr Yoo. almost kills multiple patients = no punishment
Ja Hyuk - international let’s houses burn down and is responsible for the death of woong sun = no punishment. and will be rich from construction


Third bad thing. Baiting romance of Dr Lee and Dr Jung. I wasn’t sure this show was even going to have romance till a couple episodes in, but they sealed it when they had lee give jung a peck on the cheeks. After that barely anything except division between them 80% of the time. Even in the finale for some weird reason he doesn’t call her, how does that make sense? No kiss at the end, but a hand grab off into the sunset….smh. Tell me how the second leads had a better kiss than main couple smh.


I was really ready to give this kdrama a 9 out of 10 until the last two episodes. Knowing how to end your shows is a true skill that these writers do not possess.
