[Discussion] Good Doctor

By the way, the medical stuff is pretty dumb in all KDramas so I wouldn't focus on it...but since I started on it I might as well ...
I'm getting my MD in two years, so I get very irritated when medical shows show something doctors never do. Like doing resuscitation on a person who is alert with eyes open and looking...ahem..at a 30 degree angle to the chest (Yeah, thats going to generate a lot of force...*sarcasm*. Example: Emily Owens MD.) Korean dramas do so many dumb things in medical shows I am probably going to be immune to it soon. Althought I can't say much about the surgeries in this drama because I haven't seen or learned about any yet.
But I feel like if you make a medical show, you should defnitely have an MD to consult so you don't embarass yourself. Which I assume they don't do. So they end up doing stupid things on screen... Like confusing heart attack with cardiac arrest (That happens a LOT)

Can't think of any dumb stuff in the first two episodes yet, but trust me, it will happen. I'm watching this for Joo Won, so I will ignore everything thats going on and just focus on him <3

Finally someone who understands why I avoid medical dramas by any cost. The thought about seeing many medical mistakes in a drama scare me off the most because I am sure that I will focus on them and never on the real plot or the side stories. Even the wrong CPR all over dramaland piss me off the most. Two years ago, I watched a Korean medical drama that I don't even remember its title and after seeing the disaters on the medical level; I promised to not ever watch an Asian medical drama again. Even western medical dramas have their share of mistakes too so I decided not to watch any Medical drama or serie from now on; I am niptick especially when I watch my profession so producers should really consider their professional audience whether it's medicine or anything else.

It hurts me that I am not watching Joo Won and Joo Sang Wook in the same drama but this drama is simply a no for me.

considering it is far more common for a korean person to learn english than vice versa i'm pretty certain. that being said alot of native english speakers get that wrong.

I never thought that this drama would have a great start like that one. I am impatiently waiting for the next episode. Joo Won proves that he's a great actor who can portray any character.

This is when I am proud that I am not in the medical field. You will miss a great drama, Joo Won and Joo Sang Wook :p

I know that so don't make it worse :p

Well, I still like it and I can't wait for episode 4, but episode 3 was a bit cringey, wasn't it? I wasn't able to watch it without pausing. But maybe that's just my mood today.

I have the feeling Park Shi On will say there is a way to save the baby, like he most likely read it like ages ago :P

omg the ending of episode 4 what just happened?! that was soo intense!
