THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS REGARDING THE SERIES AND ENDING SO IF THIS IS A CONCERN, DO NOT READ ON.
I started this series mainly as I am a fan of Ji Sung and enjoy medical dramas. A new drama with two of my favourites, what could go wrong.
I believe that the acting from all concerned was great. I loved what they did, they played their parts very well and I really felt that they gave it the best effort that they possibly could.
I personally felt the drama had a very poorly developed storyline that left me cold. I started watching almost from the beginning and for the first half of the series, I was really loving it and could not wait to watch the next episode. Then something happened, and I am not sure why. Did the writers run out of ideas? Did they have to stretch out the series for some reason? We had Dr John’s serious illness about halfway through, not just his lack of feeling pain - what happened to that storyline? It seemed to go nowhere, or am I missing something. He went abroad and had another major illness. Very little was explained about that. This suggested more that the writers had run out of medical conditions for him to solve and instead sidelined his character. I wasn’t in the writing room so I don’t know. The story then picked back up after 3 years, although he had supposedly been watching over his romantic interest for 1 year. The excuse the writers gave for the time jump and Dr John’s involvement, or lack of, during that time was, I feel, incredibly poor. This seemed to be just another instance of the inability to know what to do next with the characters and story.
The romance between all parties seemed to be mostly developed at the half way mark, then nothing. The series ended with very little progression beyond that point. This was seriously disappointing.
I major thing I look forward to is the music. It can really deepen the emotional aspects of the show, although I believe it can be overused and repetitive if not done properly. However, a week after finishing the show, I could barely remember any of the music. It was obviously very memorable for me.
Perhaps I am expecting too much from a drama that I have devoted 16+ hours to but on my scorecard this could have, and should have, been so much better given the high caliber of acting talent involved.
