Only in the fact that they are targeted at a more mature audience. You should consider Chief of Staff if you like political dramas.

He tends to do a lot more movies than dramas. But he is quite well known.

This show is hilarious. The misunderstandings in the first few episodes are really well done. Yinluo is a hoot -- so glib.

To me they spent rather too much time on the whole "aunty challenges FL for supremacy" thing. It's one thing for FL to be rich, it's another thing to dwell on the family infighting. I don't mind her being the "chosen one" but I'm just wondering about its relevance to the whole narrative.

It's not a deal breaker but it's only a 6 episode first season so you'd expect a bit more discipline in the writing.

I think the show could have been better as a whole if the character development for the core characters was better written and if the showrunners were a lot more decisive about where to go with Bai Zhu and Xiao Yan's dynamic. They teased the push and pull all the way to the end which doesn't TBH paint Xiao Yan in very good light. It raises uncomfortable questions the character. The romance itself was a point of contention all throughout the drama and could have been a source of healing for her in the way that it was a mechanism of growth for him. Towards the end she seemed more like a reactive figure and someone just for Bai Zhu to fall in love with. It's a case of "Physician, Heal Thyself."

The show was strong on the patient stories and all the social issues that their backstories highlighted but far weaker on developing the core supporting characters. The younger doctors and nurse were basically comic relief and figures of mockery.

Fascinating melodrama about the law of unintended consequences. The leads as expected are great.

There are definitely great action set pieces in these first two episodes but the set-up feels clunky. Not sure why the show really needs a chaebol angle at all. Aside from the fight scenes, the best parts in these first two episodes are the flashbacks to a common past. I don't feel that the script/storytelling is on par with the visual effects.

Reminds me of Bulgasal.

Qin Shi's loyalty to Chen and Hui seems rather misdirected. I can't see her hanging around there for much longer. It seems to be a one-way street.

That's one of my favourites.

I understand it alright. I am a long time science fiction fan and have watched many major Hollywood sci-fi franchises over several decades on film and tv. I've watched just about every K drama with sci-fi elements. I even read sci-fi novels from time to time. I have no problems understanding anything in this department.

What I understand is that it is the responsibility of the writer to be clear, not on me to try and fill the gaps for her.

I just don't like sloppy writing. I don't like the egregious lampshading in the finale. If the writer had any courage of her convictions, we should have seen all the hard work done much earlier.

I had a few laugh out loud moments.

"Any theory is valid"
That perfectly sums up my problem with the show. In one fell swoop they changed the entire narrative emphasis. It's too sloppy for my liking.

For me the biggest plot hole is the recording. It's far too problematic and a lot of the finale rests on its appearance.

There are a lot of unhappy people.

I don't think it's an unpopular opinion. At the very least half of us (more probably) think that the finale was unsatisfying to one degree or another.

I have many problems with the ending but this is certainly one of them. Throughout the drama we were given to think that Hyeon-woo was evolving into Do-jun. We had nothing to compare with. We had no idea what the original Do-jun was like so I naturally assumed that Hyeon-woo was Do-jun by the end of Episode 15. He'd fallen for Min-yeong too. I didn't think I was watching a body possession story like Two Cops where the two personalities are clearly delineated. So if we are to believe that the whole thing is a temporal loop then Hyeon-woo has to be Do-jun. But the way he talks about Do-jun at the end of the show makes it sound like Do-jun is a separate person to him. Unfortunately the show doesn't really explore this paradox is any interesting or meaningful fashion. It certainly didn't give itself time to either.

I think this is really what's confusing most people.

Of course. That drama is in a league entirely on its own.

It's good.

It's usually the case with most fantasy/sci-fi K dramas that there's little to no explanation of how the temporal device works. Even when they do, they mess it up and break whatever rules they've set up. I find that most K drama writers use temporal devices to push forward the plot with every little understanding of the ramifications of the genre or sub-genres.

Yes. A good ending.
