This is incredibly dated and perhaps suffers as a result. Are all the drawbacks due to when it was made?
This ob/gyn dpt in a branch of a Seoul hospital manages to attract all the most rare and difficult conditions you have never heard about, and even though they are only found in perhaps one of thousands of births or pregnancies, they are always recognised/diagnosed with no delays. Medical staff have ALL. DAY. LONG to lurk about gossiping about each other and discussing confidential patient information in the full hearing of random strangers which really irritated me. OK it's a drama, lets just play it just like kids in the playground. A bit lazy.
Either the writing or the direction made the acting sadly wooden or what I call "broad" - almost like in a not very funny farce. These actors are capable of much better than this - and Song Joon Ki in particular was clearly following instructions to behave like an immature, naive and sulky young man - as was his love interest lady. The two romance threads were absolutely a waste of time - zero chemistry and incredibly immature refusal to communicate at ALL!
There were some ugly attitudes on display too which I sometimes found hard to stomach. I continued to watch to see how they would be "resolved" and it was mostly worth that. There were also some instances of subtle and courageous handling of some difficult issues, including teenage pregnancy, abortion, attitudes to adoption, organ donation, sex education, HIV/AIDS, and child abandonment.
Although at times I wanted to throw this drama against the wall, I did watch it to the end, probably for the cast of characters, who were mostly engaging, supportive and benign. Would I re-watch - not if you held a gun to my right eyeball!
