There's just too many dramas with doctors right now and I initially thought I can't handle watching them. I started late in watching this drama and I was urged to watch because of a lot of people saying that it was a good drama.
First impressions: Watching the first episode is real challenge. Our main lead is a person who doesn't feel emotions so he was really off-putting for starters and also this is my first time watching Jang Hyuk. I can't also connect with Park So-dam's character. I'm not invested in the story yet, the characters nor the actors at first, but I still carried on.
What lasts: I kept on watching the drama and it really did grew on me. I no longer find the main lead annoying but instead I found his experiences and relationships worth knowing and relatable. I find him very hardworking in a sense that he knows that there is something scientifically wrong with his.brain and yet he still makes an effort on becoming a good doctor. I liked his relationships with the nurses, residents, and his fellow doctors (those power Rangers are really funny) - how they find him heartless and frightening at first but righteous and amazing in the end. I do like him with Ji Sung and she relly helped him change emotionally (though he doesn't have it).
I found myself waiting for this (compared to that other drama with doctors) later on. It' really more of a human drama and more focused on the main lead and his relationships instead of just the romance.
The show proved that efforts do pay off. The drama is definitely for all. Afrer all, it isn't fluffy and soft.
