Golden Time got really high ratings at the time of airing but the reviews aren't anything too special and I sort of see why with the last five episodes. As the ratings were high, the studio added three additional episodes but the story, as a result, gets dragged out and a bit tedious to watch by the end. However the rest of the show is a brilliant commentary on the country’s policy regarding Trauma Centres within hospitals and I'm certainly appealed by it myself after watching Golden Time. One of our main characters, Choi In-hyuk, is based on a famous trauma doctor in South Korea so there is some weighted truth in the show. As for our fictional characters, they were a delight to watch. We say a careful Lee Min-woo transform into a carrying surgeon of the future and a thoughtful, but naive Kang Jan-in grow into a smart acting chairwoman. Their relationship is rather sweet because they are simply friends throughout the series. Close, bonding friends without any silly strings attached that can often plauge stories such as these. That was a breath of fresh air. Another breath of fresh air was the antagonists. There were none. The department chiefs aren't antagonists, they are people looking out for the best interests of their departments. Another rooted reality touch that helped the drama.
