Three Years Later!?!?!?
For the most part, this was a nicely executed drama. The medical part gives you a lot to think about. The romance was slow and depicted realistically. Ji Sung (one of my favorite actors) and Lee Se Young had very good chemistry. I did enjoy watching their relationship develop.
I was disappointed in the “3-years later” direction the story took in the last episode. So much time was spent in this drama telling quality stories of each person’s pain or end of life issues. The writer failed to fairly deal with 1) the real struggles Yo Han was facing at the Cleveland clinic and 2) the emotional consequences Yo Han should have faced from So Young. Shutting her out for 3.5 years didn’t protect her. He robbed her of her desire to be by his side (to love him) through the difficulties he was going through. He robbed himself of the healing power of her love and presence during that time. Yo Han was the one who said without pain there is no life. The writer made this honorable, mature, reasonably realistic man out to be a liar. As much Si Young loved him, he gave her every reason not to trust him with her heart after that. I was pretty angry after investing 15.5 hours of a pretty great drama for the last 35 minutes to do this to me! I was going to give this drama a 9.5 but, frankly, the last 35 minutes were an insult to my intelligence not to mention my emotions.
The OST complimented the drama very well. I added Way Back and Look At to my playlist I liked them so much.
I will recommend this drama to anyone who likes medical dramas.
