Cool Hero!!!
I like the premise of webtoon characters coming to life and moving between the real and webtoon worlds, and liked the animation technique used for the webtoon characters and webtoon world.
The opening scene in Ep1 was excellent and immediately established Kang Chul’s character: good-looking, charismatic, intelligent, driven and resourceful. Lee Jong Suk was well cast in the role and does a good job in conveying these traits. I also liked how Kang Chul changes after he learns the truth about himself and evolves from the 2-dimensional webtoon hero to a real flesh and blood person.
In terms of love interest, Oh Yeon Joo (Han Hyo Joo) and Kang Chul look good together. However, if the writer wanted Yeon Joo to be a wide-eyed and helpless maiden, they should've given her a different profession. Although Yeon Joo is not an accomplished surgeon in the story, her tendency to put her hands to her face while mouthing nonsense at the first sign of a problem are not traits associated with being a doctor, let alone a cardio-thoracic surgeon. I found this really annoying but I would’ve forgiven her if she had been given a different profession.
I also found the character Park Soo Bong (Lee Si Eon) really annoying, he panicked even more than Yeon Joo and all the screeching and wailing is very unattractive in a man in his thirties. Since Yeon Joo and Soo Bong shared so many scenes, it would’ve been more interesting for viewers if the two of them had different character traits; and I would’ve liked to have seen more of Soon Bong’s colleagues, Sun Mi (Ryu Hye Rin) and Yoon Hee (Yang Hye Ji).
Overall, the plot was good and the action well-paced although I got a bit confused with all the coming and going between the two worlds and the twists in Eps15&16. Nothing the rewind button couldn’t fix. The music was fair and not too heavy handed, although the romance theme reminded me of a something from Coldplay.
