Right... gotcha. That sounss about right. Not all places have access to help. This is fairly recent where there was a heart attack in a remote area/mining. And the ambulance had to drive from 170km away before the plane could fly. There were othwr jobs tasked. I have lived in remote area for work before. My states rescue choppers fly to the site of the accidents but some of the other states use choppers more. Those that need to fly to islands. Mine are planes. And we have Lear jets coming in from the North because they can fly longer distances faster. Not as flashy as the Black Wings ones. I have another friend who does overseas medical repatriation.

Excuse now while I go back to my trashy romance which is relaxing. Now I know what's missing in the drama. Paediatrics and obstetrics. My centre handles both as well as adults.

Great. I like the cast.
Thanks for clarifying.

Crikey Mikey I have a Netflix subscription but K**sh just hyperlinked it directly to Netflix. Man its bold.

I also thought a S+ drama is because it has spent a lot of money and there are a lot of advertisers. However it has to be a high budget drama. Was this ever a S+ or S drama? I am curious. I couldn't understand the comments further down about it.

Thank you but oh man its for tomorrow night.

Oh its not commonly used however if you read older books especially by British authors you'll come across it. English is not my first language by the way although I am quite fluent in it as I live in Australia. However I read extensively.

Thanks for the info. I'd ask my Korean colleagues to go onto Naver. I was on my days off and just came to watch a drama so wasn't checking the source. I am going back to my usual light drama. There are helipads everywhere in Seoul so couldn't work out the chopper part. The Korean hospitals are huge and the staff so well trained. I happened to visit 2 of their ERs recently but its not as if I could ask questions.

Anyway have a good day. The acting was really good in the drama. I really enjoyed watching Han Yu Rim. He reminds me of a few characters at work.

Addit- found out that the author was an EnT specialist. Plus now you've got me listening to Korean doctors reviewing the series. I don't think there are English subs but guess some of us will be able to understand. The actual English articles about this series were just normal journalistic talks.

What else would you call them? I actually googled alternative translations for 泼妇. They were loud. Virago? Its not a common word to use. Some definitions for it include loud, aggressive and argumentative.

I am also half asleep answering this. If anyone thinks they are more specific then they can answer it. Providing you work in emergency services. Preferably in a trauma centre if you want me to be biased and guess familiar with ATLS style. And mass casualty triaging. S Korea must be different as we actually will have a command post/ vehicle for a disaster this size and the first responders do needle decompression, intubation and iGel at least. And run up adrenaline infusion as well. I would not do a surgical airway in a fast moving ambulance but guess since they don't mind blood on their faces in dramas...

And JJH is tall right? He would have backache crouching.

And yes found an improbable drama mistake. No security for all these reporters at the hospital.

All these off the top of my head. And the bullets didn't fragment as in it wasn't frangible bullets for this drama. Well I guess the person lived to be the patient in the episode.

And goddamit the more you make me think now I have to be analytical. Blast zone for the fire. He had the burns but didn't have perforated eardrums and could hear the conversation. That is a mistake.

Oh. Whatever. Just enjoy the show. I did and I work in this area. Its still one of the most factual medical drama. The donor thing was highly improbable.

I think we should stop analyzing and enjoy the show as it is. I don't feel like doing an M& M for each case you see. Let me just enjoy the fast paced, great acting and entertainment. Its always nicer to see someone else suffer in a fictional story.

I helped check the medical accuracy of several Korean medical dramas including 2 Emergency Room ones. I count Dr Romantic as 1 dramas even though there's 3 seasons.

Procedure wise its a lot more detailed. Scenario wise its a lot more specific. Dr Romantic had a lot of pre- hospital scenes too and the surgical scenes were more close up here tha for other medical dramas for Trauma call.

The scenario here- if you want me to analyze- has been more detailed than the others. No other series has mentioned mercenary doctors or actually did scenes of actual war zones closely.

Injuries wise the medical conversations are more detailed. I remember a conversation in - can't recall now which drama about a obstetric kit. And the doctors actors love shouting medication names loudly to make it sound impressive.

I am not saying these scenarios don't happen as I've seen it happen in my country but we have rescue paramedics/doctors who do rapppel down. In fact someone was winched off the sea last week to a chopper. One of the rescuers was a teenager from my kids club- surf lifesaver waiting for rescue chopper to arrive. There was a crew that stayed overnight on a boat- not a ship SHIP- as the winds were too strong. That is also a real story- we work closely with the aeromedical team. I did work in another hospital where we went out for rescues- now that was fun.

The disaster and mass causualty triaging is standard in real life but I don't recall many or any dramas who actually did follow these principles and the scenes were over 5 minutes long.

The medical complications are real. Let me put it in simple terms. It felt like a real conversation. The medical advisors in Kdramas don't or didn't feed the writers such lines. The incisions. The conversation about the injuries as you open up sounds like normal conversation to me.

I mean nothing felt like " drama dramatic " like in other dramas. I mean they actually had people cut the clothes off here. And there were only like maybe under 10x were they shine the torch onto a patient's eyes.

*scratching my head " here. It feels normal to me. The only thing was the Ahn case. I seriously swear I don't know why they couldn't just cut the bullet out. I guess there was no imaging until the Black Wings medical centre? The fractures were impressive. And he can't go back to active duty. Let me count the ways- Kwire will not repair the humeral fractures, he had too much bowel removed to have the stoma reversed. He will have tissue loss from the necrosis but I guess the escharatomy will heal. I presume it was actually a fasciotomy.

However at the end of the day the emergency scenarios were dramatic. Probable? Yes. Difficult. Very. You would have to very good. Can a writer think up such scenarios? Some. I have seen maybe all of them in other dramas but not as well done. Any of them happen in real life? Yes. Some scenes made me laugh but the medical aspects of it sounds fine. I was relaxing as I watched it so was not really nitpicking. But nothing struck me as being " wrong." It was a bit dramatic perhaps. I have had someone attend a lecture where a baby was delivered caesarean section when the patient was awake. This is for remote area emergencies. This was a lecture talking about obstetric emergencies.

Personally though, it felt like work place conversations for me. Oh yes something struck me as authentic. None of the other dramas really made the anaesthetist talk. This show has very specific medications for specific conditions and it was fed into the scene. Even ultrasound guidance for a central kine has been mentioned.

I don't recall medical advisors giving detailed medical scenes.

Wait. Improbable. Er maybe the burr hole? No one has dared do burr holes in a moving ambulance. The paramedics usually pull over to the side of the road to do a surgical airway. I am struggling to remember.

Dunno is my verdict. Entertainming yes. It is definitely something to do. JjH has caught the personality of a trauma surgeon well. Cool and laconic.

Wait? That ended? Just like that?

Wow.

No wonder it was highly rated. I just cackled laughing at the last few episodes.

MAN. That was entertaining. That's why I love trauma. Let me pause to reflect on the poor fictitous Captain Ahn for a moment.

The drama literally threw the whole shebang into the series. The sad thing is that all the swearing isn't allowed in real life. And in real life I have to make sure a debrief is done after each case. For all those viewing- otherwise people burn out. And the injuries... are not that far off the mark. You should speak to some of the army doctors sometimes. Mine was an Israeli giving a talk about those sort of injuries. And they would know more than anyone the damage modern weapons can do. That and speaking to those who work in the South African EDs. Real life is way more scary than the warning labels on Netflix for this drama. And I really didn't realise that rescue choppers and special medical teams are not available readily. My state has them and we have medical choppers and fixed wing planes. I used to work at a pl

And choppers- I was wondering why the helipad was in a field. Its actually dangerous with the pebbles flying etc.

Nice drama. Great show. Its like a cathartic release from all my work stress. Its been seriously entertaining. I actually watch a lot of Korean medical dramas and used to help with the accuracy of the medical procedure subs on viki. This has been the best - talking about procedure potrayal- and more close ups than normal. And oh yes you don't do such procedures routinely on a chopper and moving ambulance. I don't know about the others but I did get motion sickness.

Ciao. Its been a blast watching this the last 2 days. It really was entertaining. I don't know about the relaxing part because it felt like being back at work.

Ignore of course. 21 episodes have aired. If they don't like it by now why bother engaging with them.

They are strangers. You don't care about their opinion do you? It doesn't affect your life so ignore them.

My job entails dealing with a lot of both verbal and sometimes physical assaults- am trained to deescalate of course so I really can ignore people I don't care about. So leave them be. They want attention and people to validate their opinions. We are international fans. Its not as if they directly contribute to ratings anyway.

Gosh its going to end on a cliffhanger tonight. What a dilemma. Can I wait till ep 27 airs on Sat before watching ep 19-27?

Thanks but this graphic has been blurry. Even when I downloaded the image.

The house was large. He was a magistrate but county magistrates don't routinely report to the King. She definitely called him 3rd brother which is odd because she shouldn't be addressing him like that as she is not related. His study is large as well.

The progression seems to be scholar, rich landowner, very rich merchant, official in a rich family but are they influential then lastly influencial but are there important ministers besides having a consort in the family.

That 5th BIL is paired with the youngest spoilt 16-17 year old.

Anyway, I am now going to watch ep 16 now that I've watched ep 19. I am sure the new romance will be rocky anyway since he was forced to propose.

1st. Bride switch but male side forced to propose. No mutual affection
2nd. Love at first sight he proposed. 1 sided affection
3rd. 2 proposals but mutual affection.
4th. Forced proposol. 1 sided attraction
5th. I heard its going to be the male chasing the girl? Is it going to be one sided? Can't be because there is not symetry. It must be mutual affection then?

Its incomplete. I wanted to see the rank for the 4th brother- in- law.

We already know the 5th BIL has imperial links.

Why did it take me so long to realize the writer purposely did an inverse hierarchy? The oldest sibling in a Confucian society has the highest rank and therefore has the most say. So if we use finances you'll notice the eldest brother in law to the 5th sister's future husband. I wonder what is the family background for the 4th suitor.

The writing is more organised than I thought. Each subsequent husband displays more emotion compared to the previous one. That means he has planned it so its not bits of random cliched scenarios. Looking at this I am going " oh my who is this Shen family? The guy keeps getting ambushed. " If older sister is 22 that means the 3rd sister who has been married is about 17 or 18 right?

https://x.com/soonsetra/status/1884346798657135061

If we use logic that means his story should be ep 20 to 27 and the 5th sister ends at ep 34 or 35 so we have time for a family episode on ep 36. There must be a family conflict at ep 35- 36. I am plotting it out now because I'm sick of the whining and laying it out clearly. There is also mentioned of some family conflict from the Shen family.

Now what? Have the previews come hwre.

Yeah sorry. Ep 16 irritated the heck out of me. More than the Du character. Gotta go work is a- calling.

It wasn't rubbish but missing. And its one of my pet peeves- American/English slang/phrases or lingo in the middle of a Chinese drama. Somewhere in the older comments there were specific comments on lines. It just makes the scene feel less dramatic.

Its freaking boiling.
The kids do something call aquatics in primary school. Think there is snorkelling, surfing, kayaking, stand up paddle board and plain swimming. Or something like that. We thought the school will cancel when the weather is that hot but apparently not.

The subtitles. God what the heck is happening with the subs on a Netflix? Its like they paid a college student who is better than Google translate but its pretty basic. They keep missing words and I absolutely loathe when people don't sub what was said and use the English phrases instead. I understand Mandarin and Korean. Not completely fluent but good enough to sub on viki once upon a time. The Netflix translator is skipping half the sentences in several incidences.

And yeah if something doesn't make sense I just go back to the scene and listen. That's why I read the spoilers. Slow down at the scenes I am interested in and get the story. I'm now off to check on Check in Hanyang. Now that is a drama which I've stopped watching but go to read spoilers.

He probably doesn't know how to handle a couple of women. Like an experienced playboy would.

The divorce was his idea yes. Dumb yes. Did he think his mother would be upset? Yes. Did he think she would refuse to follow him? Probably not.

The whip thing? Now that was stupid writing because its out of character. Has he even whipped anyone before? Probably not.

Its like there is a plot going in his head and no one is following the script?

Why am I not so upset? Er... i was skip forwarding ep 16 and 17 and waiting for ep 21. Then marathoning 6 episodes at once.

Its also Monday and work is shit and I am busy doing a PP to do some staff teaching so my mind is switched off. Its also 40C today and I have 2 children doing snorkelling, surfing etc for a school excursion. So this little drama character? I practice disassociation quite well and am currently disassociated from this drama because I have work on my brain. I don't love it that much that I'm crying over it or expect perfection.
