Ooooooh! No I didn't. You ROCK! I'm totally gonna check it out here. Thank you!

Oh I know it happens but the public aftermath is usually brutal. The fact that you even saw a video of it I'm sure you know what I mean. I bet the comments were crazy with people losing their minds over not only what the video showed but also going off on the people just standing there filming instead of getting help or helping themselves.

Also, what makes those videos go viral is how the situation is atypical. The asian mindset seems to be "mind your own business". I HATE that with a passion but I can't judge a whole culture. There's a reason for it being that way and continuing to be so.

The thing with girls setting girls up though. Just the thought makes me sick. I hope like hell it's not a predominant mindset or common occurrence in Japan. I cannot express how much I hop e it isn't.

Yay!!!

Anyway, that's not even what I came on here to say - just happened to see that new post by chance. I'm watching this again now and two things about the hospital's policies struck me as poorly handled/written:

1) Luckily they didn't actually pursue this but when they'd planned to punish the ML for breaking quarantine protocol and entering the quarantine area (when the FL had been knocked out by the patient). It was stupid for them to even bring up punishment since he made certain he'd attained permission first. Getting permission to do something against protocol means you're not the one putting yourself at risk of punishment anymore, it's the person who granted that permission that should be in the hot seat (in this case the chief). Had he ignored protocol and failed to attain her permission before entering then, yes, of course, he should have gotten in trouble. HOWEVER, if that's the case so should the resident went in with him. Which leads me to my other point...

2) When they did actually suspend him for the way he handled the situation with the actress and her son they should have also punished the sisters too since they helped when he ignored the DNR. He didn't actually violate any other hospital policies that I could tell (yeah he may have drawn things out with the investigation but no actual hospital rules were broken) so if he had to be punished for something that's the only thing it could be and, if so, so should they. In fact, since the whole reason they punished him was to save face for the hospital in preparation for the upcoming situation with the chairman, then they definitely should have punished both girls too, as a show of fairness and to show how firm the hospital's stance was against that behavior.

I just read someone's new comment on here and I won't reply to it just because I don't want to make them look or feel badly but they literally missed the entire point of the show. I cannot fathom how they failed to understand the ML's logic and thought processes when it was explained so thoroughly and consistently, repeatedly. They also didn't understand the FL at all. That commenter comes across as closed-minded and stubborn in a manner very similar to the prosecutor in the drama, albeit much less mature and rational than him. *smh*

I probably shouldn't say it because it'll seem mean but I really am not trying to be - I'm just stating a fact - but some people truly lack the mental capacity to get things sometimes. It's unfortunate because there's so much they're missing out on.

I seem to remember something along those lines too. I can't really remember the specifics but I do seem to remember there was something more than just the fact that the nurse had been lying all along that was revealed later on when we found out the truth about what actually happened when that murderer died.

I'm happily volunteering (as tribute - LOL!) to rewatch it all over again to confirm. I'll let you know.

The romance is there but if you're not a fan of romance I DO think you'd still be able to enjoy this. There's so much else happening in the drama that the romance really isn't the emphasis at all but it blends in rather well with the story. In fact, the romance is used as a part of the intrigue as the potential relationship between the two leads opens a whole other can of worms relating to decisions surrounding patient treatment. It's really difficult to explain without giving spoilers or really going into the story.

It's definitely not a romcom or romantic drama like those where the hospital and cases are just the setting for the romance. It's the opposite. The main focus consistently remains on the medical cases and medical ethics. The secondary focus delves with a backstory dealing with the ML and his history surrounding a euthanasia case (as tagged above). The bond developed between the leads stems from they own medical ethics struggles/issues and in working together to solve extremely complicated cases. So the romance that develops flows and makes sense and really shouldn't alienate you, I don't think.

Does this help?

I'm watching this again for like the gazillionth time (or 4th) and it just hit me that the Prosecutor should have known all along that something was fishy about that psycho woman's claim that the murderer had wanted to live. He KNEW how much she hated that patient and why. Yet she went and became his nurse??? Did he really believe that she could have convinced that patient to sign anything? Does he really believe she would have even told him about a potential new treatment that could benefit him?? Really???

I feel like an idiot for only realizing this now. But I love the damn show so much anyway I still don't care! LOL!

You are correct. I've watched this drama several times. The murder's mother did not want him to continue suffering and begged Doctor John to let him die but he wouldn't do it, at first.

The child's mother lied about the murderer wanting to live and forged his signature on the document. It was impossible for him to sign anything or even be coherent in his condition.

It's been a long time since I watched it last and I'm about to watch it again now so I'll confirm about whether or not he was covering for the murder's mother though because I do remember their being some revelations about the actual death itself, other than the fact that the child's mother had been lying.

I hope you don't mind me asking but about how old are you? Your comments regarding her number of boyfriends peaked my curiosity.

Not sure if you understood the original post actually. They were saying it was ludicrous to think that doctors would wear high heels at all and that they were portrayed that way. The operating room was just an example.

The commenter was saying it was dumb. We all know that even if the went to work wearing heels they sure as hell wouldn't be wearing them throughout their shift, all day long. LOL!

Oooh that's not a good sign. "Stressful"? I'm trolling comments trying to decide if I want to watch this but your comment stopped me cold. Just what I needed to know.

Actually...I'll just leave this on my PTW list for now and go watch Doctor John for the 3rd time instead. At least I know I love that one.

Did you watch the entire thing? Did these issues ever get properly dealt with and resolved? Or can I just expect to be angry a whole lot?

Oh hell. I literally just posted about being only 12 mins into the 1st episode and already being angry at the fact that the ER doctor hadn't wanted to be bothered with that drunk patient that had been brought in from the train station. I'm so disgusted with her that I'm having a hard time continuing to watch because I CANNOT see more immoral and lazy behavior from medical practitioners in yet another drama right now. So, to convince myself to push through I decided to scroll through comments to see if there might be any other red flags to look out for. Didn't have to look far to find these posts.

I've put off watching this for so long even though I've wanted to see if for quite some time (I liked season 1) and want to see season 3 so I'm REALLY frustrated right now.

I loved the 1st season so I don't know why I keep putting off watching this 2nd season and I already have season 3 on my watch list.

I just tried starting this though and, less than 15 mins in but I'm already turned off. Not by the show as a whole but by the ER doctor who was dealing with the "drunk" guy from the train station.

I watched another kdrama not too long ago where the FL doctor's negligence led to the patient's death - she'd assumed a woman's husband had been beating her (an assumption made solely based on the fact that he had tattoos) and didn't bother performing a proper evaluation (while also stating it was too much hassle to report the so-called abuser) but instead discharged her, for her to only collapse moments later not far from the hospital. It got even worse after as the doctor then tried to get the husband in trouble so she wouldn't have to take the fall and loose her license, but I digress. That situation left me filled with so much anger and disgust that it's been weeks and it STILL haven't gotten over it; primarily because such things do actually happen in real life.

So to see an ER doctor completely not want to be bothered to even examine a man who was brought into the ER assuming he's just another bad drunk (she didn't even get close to him to take a good look)... I just can't. I can't. People die from alcohol intoxication all the time, not to mention complications from alcoholism (as was the case here), so a patient brought in still needs to be examined before being sent away. It's their basic duty and responsibility! The fact that she was arguing about having to deal with him makes me sick! Had that guy/doctor not accompanied him (had he maybe worked at a different hospital or something) that patient could have died!

I'm so disgusted right now! I definitely want to watch this but I'm finding it really hard to push past this anger right now.

Damn! Is this true? Are you being serious?

Jeez! Each episode is a movie in length!

Is the Chairman the ML's father or not? I've always been confused about it. I've watched this so many times and every time I do I end up going back and forth on the answer. I keep feeling like he is but then he'll say something and I think he's not.

For those who've read the manga does it say if he is?

I also find this ML to be the most tolerant damn man on the planet. He understands and accepts her completely, even when it hurts him to do so. He doesn't chastise her, he focuses on what's important about and to her and cheers her on. He doesn't bring the negative to her and only wants to see her happy and help her maintain her innocence.

If "supportive" + "patient" + "tolerant" = 'TOXIC" then give me a toxic man any day!
