I think these reviews are kind of unfair...

With just a quick glance at the reviews, I feel like this drama is getting unfairly trashed because people were unhappy about the ending. But honestly, I loved this drama and thought it was different from your typical Korean drama. It was so entertaining and funny. I thought Seo In Ho was perfectly cast. I absolutely hated him and he was so detestable but I also felt bad for him as well. And he perfectly played the dramatic comedic part well too. It was also obviously great to see Dr. Cha's journey through two near death experiences and just finally being able to live the life that she wants, doing the thing she loves the most, being a doctor.

THOUGHTS ON THE ENDING (SPOILERS AHEAD):
Unpopular opinion but I actually didn't really have a problem with the ending. Maybe because I saw the spoiler on Tiktok beforehand so I was prepared, but I didn't mind that Dr. Cha didn't end up with Roy in the end. It wouldn't make sense and I honestly think it would've been MORE insulting for Dr. Cha to end up with Roy. It wouldn't make sense that our FL went through this entire journey just to be thrown into another relationship in the end. At the beginning, we knew Cha Jeong Suk was so self-sacrificing and only lived to help her family. So, it makes sense that after she finally got divorced, she would spend her time on her own, doing what she loves and not having to live for anyone else but herself. And yeah I guess they did "tease" the relationship, but in my eyes, we only saw Roy's feelings for Dr. Cha but not so much the other way around.

Another possible unpopular opinion, but I actually felt bad for Seo In ho in the end, the scene where he finally became hospital director but had none of his family there to support him really hit for me. He could've had the best and most supportive family if he had just stayed faithful and wasn't such an asshole. But alas, he did do all those things. It was nice to see that he accepted the consequences of his actions and continued to just have an amicable relationship with Dr. Cha as just Jung-Min and I-rang's parents.

But yeah, that's just my humble opinion of this drama. And now it's time for me to sleep because as always, I stay up too long to finish the drama (haha). Bye for now!
