How to deal with cancer
This is exactly what this drama portrays through our characters: how to cope with the complications this terrible disease causes, not only to the patient but to their family and even the doctors. Additionally, this drama is quite uncommon for its genre, it’s standard-issue for the medical dramas to have exciting cases in which doctors demonstrate how smart and skillful they are and save lives no matter the severity of the cases. This drama is the opposite, it portrays the normal life of doctors that treat patients with cancer and how it affects everybody involved. Of course, there are situations that are specifically about the main characters but they are attention-grabbing as well. I particularly enjoyed the friendship the main characters shared throughout the series and how much they cared for their patients. Plus, it demonstrates how patients deal with the illness and become stronger to live thoroughly which it was heartwarming to see. I highly recommend this to the ones that enjoy simple and slow-paced dramas involving friendship and sismance.
