Alright, let me just say this - I loved the drama. It was entertaining from start to finish - quirky, unhinged, and genuinely fun to watch. But, as someone who's spent way too much time in drama land, I have to admit, there's plenty to critique.

Because, surprise, surprise - another drama following "the recipe."Get a godly doctor back from overseas, preferably with a tragic backstory involving trauma patients, plop him into an almost non-existent trauma center, and let him butt heads with the higher-ups. Add a loyal resident at his beck and call, sprinkle in some life-saving moments, throw in the obligatory "trauma god" transformation, and voila - a drama that feels like reheated leftovers.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I appreciate the whole "golden hour saves lives" message and the commentary on how budget cuts cost lives. Really, I do. But do I need yet another drama to hammer it into my skull for the 789,678th time? Apparently, Netflix thinks I do. Because, clearly, if we didn’t get it after the first 12,673 attempts, we must need the message reinforced again.

At this point, it’s painfully obvious Netflix is just milking the classic K-dramas we all love, but hey, throw in some scenic shots and flashy budgets, and suddenly it’s a "masterpiece." Except it’s not. It’s just what happens when there’s nothing else to compare it to. The sheer lack of competition makes it feel brilliant when, in reality, it’s just... not. And as a viewer, that’s the real tragedy here.

So, of course, it has its merits - gorgeous doctors with personalities so distinct they might as well come with their own theme songs, one-liners sharp enough to make Twitter jealous, sitcom-level energy, heartwarming patient backstories, and sizzling lead chemistry. That’s the twist, folks! Everything else? A finely-tuned nostalgia factory working overtime.

And sure, some parts of the story were as logical as treating a heart attack with aspirin, but who cares? It entertained, didn’t it? Baek Kang Hyeok wasn’t just a doctor - he was a walking Marvel origin story, performing impossible feats with a scalpel like it was a superpower. Over-the-top? Definitely. Unrealistic? Absolutely. But let’s not pretend we weren’t here for the drama and the dazzle anyway.

To wrap it up, this show isn’t exactly redefining the genre, but it sure knows how to keep you entertained. It’s got all the familiar tropes, larger-than-life characters, over-the-top drama, and just enough emotional pull to make you stay hooked. If you’re here for a guilty pleasure with high stakes and lots of flair, this one’s got you covered. Realism? Not so much. But who needs that when the drama’s this juicy? - with all the eps out, all at once lol !

okay so just to say it out loud ...I don't deny that they did a good job ....but in terms of storyline they could have done so much better...what I have a problem with is the fact that if you look closely then this could be very well pulled off by kdramas in 2016 ...or if not by 2018 definitely....in 2025 idk why but watching this drama feels like we did not progress much...which leaves me sad as a viewer when seen from a broader perspective.
