Best. Show. Ever.
No spoilers btw, literally all you need to know.Now, don't think I'm the type of person who simply rates a show without rational. I've watched lots of romance show, and so far this has been the highest I've rated for any show. Here's a slight heads up on what u can expect for this show:
Acting/ Cast
The ML is the typical cold, mysterious, super hard to approach guy. If you're a fan of these kind of guy, I'm telling you, WATCH IT! The FL on the other hand, is a expressive, cute, girl! In these classic love stories, usually some people find these kind of girls annoying? But honestly it's quite bearable and it ends up really cute. She's not dumb, she's a nurse. She worked hard!
Plot
STEAMY KISSES!? and most importantly SUPER cute and LOVING scenes. I really love how well they bonded. ML is so sexy in one of the scenes *cough* with a tinge of jealousy here and there. But I'm telling you the story is amazing. He acted really well as a cold person and she acted really well as a girl trying to get close to her crush.
Music
Song was addictive please omg. Listened to it for quite some time
Rewatch value
Just as I voted, I've watched it twice. Planning to go for it again! But decided to drop by here to leave my review <3
But yeah, hospital settings, doctors, nurses. I think if you have a thing for doctors then it just adds up the point. Character development was there, just really love this show. Hope you enjoy!!! <3

The story of the happy idiot and the handsome Icicle
Idiot, Idiot, idiot... the female leads nickname and most probably the most translated word in this whole drama... I wonder how much idiocy there actually is in this drama?The male lead is an everlasting icicle, who reminded me of the guy in Playful kiss, just without an ounce of playfulness. An everlasting icicle that is true to his core and well kind of cruel most of the time. He is however fun to watch and does stand for some pretty good eye candy...
The female lead is as cheerful as cheerful gets, annoying at times but mostly lovable even if her obsession does become a bit overbearing at times.
The rest of the cast are pretty decent, including a very lovable second male lead.
The messages, medical stuff and talks about treatment and transplants where decent at times, a bit meeh and odd other times. They also mentioned HCM, which made me kind of happy.
A decent watch, not really relationship goals but entertaining enough for the moment.
Buingablety- high
Heartflitter- medium

First of all, the medical cases were pretty good. Sakura, the female lead, was a good nurse, as she cared for her patients and she did the effort to get to know them and specifically assist in their needs. The medical cases themselves were interesting and, some of them, very emotional. However, they got less and less towards the end, as the drama focused more on the couple rather than their profession.
Now, for the love story, at first, it was okay. The male lead was enough cold and "evil" to keep things interesting and create strong dynamics with the female lead. However, straight from the start, she came over to him, claiming that she loved him (even though they met once in the past) and in a way demanded that he should love her back, or date her. And the most annoying thing of all was that everyone actually had the same opinion and kind of pushed her to keep pursuing him like that. So, that approach felt too extreme and just not okay overall. But, passed that, the romance was a bit rushed at some point. Like, they were trying to fit it in while the medical cases took place. Still, that wasn't a deal-breaker. However, the drama started getting cringy towards the end. Especially the last episode was way too cheesy, using many of the well known tropes. Now, the drama was based on a manga, so keeping that in mind, it can be excused for some of the plot choices. However, the story was not well presented, and, as a result, the drama seemed too cringy.
In any case, it was light and kept things entertaining for a good part of it. But, I wish that they had time to develop the other couples too. So, overall, because the performances were good from everyone in the cast, and Sakura was cute, 4 out of 10.

Mixed feelings about this one
I have really mixed feelings about this drama. It put me through a plethora of emotions including sadness, happiness, lots of second hand embarrassment, love, frustration, and irritation. It made me laugh a lot and it touched me too. There was a lot I disliked but there was a lot that I liked too.The male lead is referred to as the devil doctor not because he’s mean but because he’s rude. He’s so focused on helping his patients and being the best doctor ever that he has no time for anyone else. And if someone messes up and delays his patients recovery, (which is usually the female lead) he’s very critical of them. Finding out about his traumatic past which made him distance himself from people helps to understand him better. And seeing the female lead pull him out of his self imposed isolation is endearing.
The female lead is known as the warrior chick because of her unrelenting pursuit of the devil doctor. At first she seems very silly, insecure, and awkward, with no real focus in life other than pursuing the doctor. But as the drama continues she matures and becomes more confident. She’s still awkward but she realizes how important being a great nurse and helping people is to her. And her tenacity and genuine concern for people draws her coworkers to her as well as multiple suitors. It’s quite satisfying seeing her character growth as the drama progresses.
What I didn’t like about this drama was how stoic and cold the male lead was throughout the whole drama. I had hoped that once the main leads got together he would at least be sweet towards the female lead but he didn’t improve much in that area. Even though they were dating he didn’t tell her that he loved her, why he liked her, or what was going on in his mind. In fact, he didn’t really act like a boyfriend at all. It made me feel really sad for the female lead. I felt so much second hand embarrassment for her as she pursued him in the beginning and was repeatedly rejected and criticized. So when he wasn’t a very good boyfriend and she constantly felt insecure about him and their relationship I was really disappointed. I felt a lot of second hand embarrassment and sympathy for the female lead. That being said, I have to say that the leads did have good chemistry and there was some pretty sweet moments between them that were very touching.
This dramas strength is in the great acting skills of the cast, the character growth, and the sweetness between the leads in the last few episodes. The weakness of this drama is the male leads personality, his treatment of the female lead, and the weak storyline. If you liked “A love So Beautiful” or “Playful Kiss” whose male leads were similar in personality to this male lead then you’ll probably like this drama. But for me it was a painful watch at times. I’m torn because I was really touched by many of the characters and I loved the main leads chemistry. But even though I’m glad I watched it, I wouldn’t watch it again. Its a decent drama but not a great one.

A chill series
While it has rather an average story it still stands firm because it's overall fluid & well paced - nothing too much out of ordinary happens that would make you facepalm and question the writing. If you're in it just for an idealized romantic comedy and don't expect more, it's worth watching.::Characters::
It misses depth as the characters aren't too developed - in fact, the main protagonists at the end of the story weren't any different than at the start. They are somewhat one-dimensional and while they are rather walking stereotypes I didn't find it too overdone. The main protagonists have fun chemistry and it's very comic at time, in a good way.
::Theme, direction & plot::
The entire story basically revolves around the premise introduced to us in the first episode. It's light-hearted, funny but still keeps you worried about the new patients. The pacing of the series was good all over. The plot was believable, nothing really stood out too negatively.
Overall, as long as you enjoy the characters and aren't looking for anything too deep it's quite nice to watch.

Wow, it's been ages since I've properly watched a J-drama. Slowly switching to K-dramas as time went by felt natural – just like growing up and leaving your hometown to pursue your dreams. :D Then one day I stumbled upon a youtube vid featuring the main leads of this drama – that's when I knew I MUST give it a chance.And – wow, it actually exceeded my expectations. The whole story made me feel nostalgic, returning home after a long adventure. Everything is so familiar, yet freshly polished. The characters are endearing and their interactions are always very pleasant to watch (well, maybe except for the second couple with Tendo's sister – that one made me cringe all the time LOL).
Although the drama is fully packed with romantic cliches, they are well balanced, and the "drama" is never dragged enough to make you force yourself to watch further. Most of the usual plot sequences ended very pleasantly and I couldn't help but smile (and replay those awesome romantic scenes OVER AND OVER) :D You shouldn't expect any heavy medical material – the guys keep it light and simple. Which definitely has its perks.
Being clumsy at first, Sakura gradually grew on her strong points – careful attention to detail and immense care for patients. I did feel a little disappointed with her insecurity and indecisiveness at moments where I expected her to persevere and fight for Tendo's heart. But other than that, thanks to her friends and straight-forward nature, she handled her love adventures pretty well. :) I'm extremely thankful that she spoke her mind to Tendo, letting him know of her struggles and worries most of the time, instead of bottling them up and sulking.
But of course my heart was STOLEN by Tendo-sensei. Satoh Takeru is so MESMERIZING in this role that it hurts to stop watching. He's a bit of a tsundere (oh those sweet "BAKA" scenes) but essentially keeps his feelings and emotions to himself for actually valid reasons. Still, he loves his job and sincerely cares for his patients. And most importantly, he never gives Sakura any unreasonable silent treatment. I just LOVE how he noticed whenever Sakura was worried about something stupid and made sure to clear up any misunderstandings by either speaking his mind clearly (that sofa scene is one of my favorites...) or showing some action (you know). ;D I think his character is just so perfectly balanced. And those rare smiles he gives... *dies* The only thing that might not sit well with you is how he actually fell in love with the girl, LOL. But in the end it feels pretty natural.
The main leads ended up completing each other and helping one another overcome their challenges. So I love how it turned out. :) And their chemistry is off charts, by the way!
Supporting characters are all very well cast, truly funny and you won't easily forget them. Together they create this simple but cute story that won't get you bored thanks to all the butterflies. <3 And last but not least, THE OST WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
Well, in short, I RECOMMEND this drama if you're looking for an extremely sweet, light and cute love story (Satoh Takeru is a huge bonus of course). Binge-watching this drama was my best decision in weeks! I hope you make yours too. :D Ittadakimasu!
P.S. I also suddenly realized how much love the small messages this drama conveys: that we should accept the fact that one day we will all die and live our lives freely. That we should not try to strictly divide our lives into "love" and "work", but rather "enjoy the everyday chaos". :) And of course, it reminds us that each one of us struggles through life in different ways, but we should not give up – instead, we must fight for our dreams and stay positive whatever happens!
Good luck to you all!

A feel good drama
Ok so I have watched dozens of dramas from China and Korea. This is my first Japanese one. This is also the first review I have ever written. It may not be my favorite drama but it is now probably on my top 5. This show made me want to take a look at other Japanese dramas. Some people may think that the FL was too childish but I don’t think so. Her bubbly personality was what made people like her and what broke through the ML’s stone heart. As a nurse myself, I was really impressed by the accuracy when it came down to the nursing part and the medical terminology (something you don’t see in American shows). Even though she loved the ML at first sight (starting off as a childish infatuation), the timing on the romance was neither too fast or too slow. It was perfect. Even though I wanted it to go on an on, I’m glad of the simple 10 episodes. Maybe it’s because it didn’t have this long side plot and villains, which would have caused a major distraction. Do yourself a favor and watch this show.Was this review helpful to you?
