I'm going to talk about the takeaways from this drama and there's A LOT OF 'EM!

First we learn the ML has CIPA-a person who can't feel pain, right? But it's only shown in the first episode and it's a really short clip.
We learn the FL develops and instant crush on the ML which is a heavy eye roll for me.

Then we see weak plots about different characters exhibiting pain that barely gets covered.

One episode has a supposedly virus outbreak but that quickly dwindled.

Then the FL learns of the ML's secret and she becomes even more clingy and naggy ( yeah not a word but I can't think of anything else.) She becomes so annoying that I began to look elsewhere when she starts whining and crying over stupid stuff. I had to ask myself is there not ONE episode where's she's not crying and wondering why the ML don't have feelings for her or why he's not showing enough feelings for her?? At different points she made his issue all about her.

The next is that prosecutor and nurse. Call me crazy but the way she handled the guy who had anal cancer was so wrong and yet she didn't get in trouble for it and that prosecutor should've been disbarred for trying to get someone who served their time fired. Isn't that harassment?

Then out of the blue the ML starts having problems with his health. Episode 1-8 he's doing fine then the next few episodes he's having health problems then close to the end he goes to do some research about his disease. We see he's not doing good then the writers time stamp the last two episodes of making it seem as if three years past and the ML shows up out of the blue and the FL goes into her clingy, crying, nagging self...again... By this time I'm skipping a lot of her whining and literally stalking the ML because he didn't call her.

The last episode was the most let down of all the other episodes. The writers had no where to go and just let the uninspired sappy romance go on forever!!! The other doctor and sister's relationship was more believable than the FL and ML.

I like medical dramas and thought this would be a good one but alas, I only watched because I literally had nothing else to do. I just hurried and watched the last few episodes just to get them over with. I could've dropped this but I was curious as to how it would've turned out. With the same three songs being played over and over in each episode, the crying, the sappy uninspiring romance....this has definitely been a medical drama let down for me and is a sign to truly skip dramas that have romance in it. No matter how good it is, if it's got romance in it like this I will avoid it like the plague!
