Just watched the first two eps and it’s really interesting! I never thought I’d see a Kdrama touch on the topic of euthanasia. Can’t wait for next week’s episodes.

 

[fromisSakura]

Okay watched Ep 1. Ji Sung's character is so cool. He look badass and insane but he have a kind and caring heart

 

[fromisSakura]

Watched 2nd ep.

Okay, it explained more stuffs now. I was actually confused whether was Seyoung and Jisung's character gonna revolve the prisoner in prison. Guess not since they are both at a hospital now

 

[fromisSakura]

Okay catched up all the way to ep 12(Ep 6 for some of u if u dun count every 30 min as a episode)


So far, I really like the flow of the drama. There are situation that make me think what will I do if I am in the doctor shoes. Really like how they use OST in the drama so far

 

[WithJuyeon]

not a fan of medical dramas but halfway through the show, it's pretty good so far

 

[fromisSakura]

Watched till the most recent episode. Look like Cha Yo-han got famed by Chae Eun-Jung?

Also the actress who act as Mirae is so prettyyyy!

 

[fromisSakura]

Seriously. I dunno why that nurse and prosecutor is so obsessed with Cha Yohan

 

[fromisSakura]

Okay. Seem like the prosecutor is a good person. I am still so conflicted over "euthanasia"

 

[fromisSakura]

Overall, I rate this drama a 7/10. Will love to give it higher but....

They make Seyoung's character so weak. I don't really see her as a doctor, just someone lovesick.
The prosecutor and the nurse make the plot so messy.

They make Kang I-Moon wanting the chief position so much and then they give it to Tae-kyeong. We didn't get to see I-Moon reaction to it.


While I like that they touch on the subject of eunthansis, I feel like the plot of the drama can be better. Everything seem so messy and in a rush.


I will miss the actress who act as Mirae though. She is so damm pretty
