Oh! My Dear ! Let me tell you a story !

IT'S A GOOD STORY ! A story so good, no matter how hard they try to mess it up THEY CAN'T!!!!
STORY: It's another one of them Officer/Medic dramas ! it does honor to the genre (so far!) unique in it's own , different from YAMH and DOTS(not to name them all!) The problem is the production! You can tell the writer was out of their elements trying to fluff it into 40 episodes, trying really hard not to dilute it. Including slice of life and secondary conflicts here and there to make it Lenghty. It would have been so much more amazing if it stayed concise and compact with a banm banm banm chain of events because let me tell you : The Core of the story is AMAZING and it's moving quite nicely! The mind buggling unnecessary adjacent like the forever screaming cousin going through her own awakening, The self-centered heartless wench of a heart-surgeon in need of a good sit-down and so on is tiresome and robs you of the intensity said drama would need!
OH AND THAT FRIEND .... unnecessarily dumb, selfish and imprudent for a successful career woman but they had to give her screen time to make space! Who needs enemies when you have friends like that! i can't wait for the FL to send her packing!
ACTING: NO complains at all !!!! Even said screaming cousin is so good at what she does ! FL is a little on the nose but on brand with the character, she's built to drive him insane but doesn't and that's what fascinates him hence " Da Luv" XD ! ML is played by an actor who has very well lived in a uniform all his life so i'm sure this was a peice of cake for him!
MUSIC: Entirely forgettable so far ! Definitely not an OST you'll add to your playlist later on if you ask me
REWATCH: Meh! it would be a simple and fun rewatch , you'd end up skipping all the adjacent slice of life i guarantee ! straight to love and war because that's what matters and that's what is so good about this drama!
