Surprisingly easy to watch series. Plot is simple and nothing remarkable, but the characters carried the whole thing. Perfectly casted, good characterization and acting.
The whole hospital angle felt like was suddenly dropped. Initially thought the neurologist will be a point of story and developed into a love triangle, but it didn't.
I just finished watching Dr Romantic S2 and now also watching S3, and it's quite weird to see Ahn Hyo Seop look so different.
The mystery and plot felt like ridiculously drawn out, but it was okay. The story was about character development, and I enjoyed the journey. 10/16 right now.
Those were my exact same thoughts! I could have understood if the doctors were against him working at the hospital…
And man, the hospital employed a nurse, who has direct contact with the patient, who killed her daughter. And prosecutor and the hospital goes only after the doctor. The lawyer even conspired with the nurse. Is this being seriously? Then the nurse even actively involved herself in protest, and all shit. They dont have CCTV in the hallway or what? Didnt they notice how Dr. John bumped into her in the hallway with the form?
The hospital even put Dr John back into the position where he legally charged for murder. Are you serious? He doesn't even have any oversight committee or probation? It is the same as the daughter doctor, they just shoo her back in he hospital after making a big brouhaha that sent her as a jailhouse doctor.
Half baked subplots. Non-sense storylines. Characters that I really don't care.
The best part in the series are the patient and their storyline.
Honestly, the best part probably is the pilot episode, if they have just keep him in prison, it's probably going to work.
They wasted so much time in yapping and dragging with whole romance. I dont even see the chemistry.
There's that lawyer, but don't feel like there's any justice. WTF he is going after the doctor who already spent his time in prison for? And yet he doesn't care to go after the bullies of the CIPA patient? And the weird nurse, I dont care about her, honestly. They drag so long until showing the whole motivation.
And the cherubim plotline is just half-baked. Are we supposed to care about this, after showing only a few scenes? Am I supposed to empathize with the sudden appearance of euthanizing doctor? WHO IS HE???

The whole series is maddening and it's just annoying.
To begin with the hospital accepted a convicted doctor, and their biggest concern is that he has CIPA? Are you okay?
And they want to kick him out while the CIPA patient is dying in their hospital? Aren't they supposed to keep a CIPA doctor for a CIPA patient since their ideology is that only doctors who can experience pain treat patients that are in pain? LOL.
It's not even like it's a black and white situation. The hospital can still keep him as advisory, without direct patient interaction, since he is great in diagnosis. The series already showed that. The whole hospital administration is so clueless and out of their depth, they have no clue what the hell is happening and they have to be the one calling the shot, like are you okay?
The whole series have so many half-baked storylines, and it's just confusing because they either senseless or just I dont care. Like in the end, all of sudden, they have this whole cherubim storyline, which I could not careless, and euthanizing doctor who I dont have any feeling or connection. And whats the point of the lawyer, like they can scrap the whole nurse and lawyer and the series still stand.
Because it's a hospital and he can have any disease and not know it. He can pass it on to his patients for example.…
Still make zero sense. It is the same thought as cancer patient should only be treated by doctors who have family members that are suffering with exact the same cancer they have, otherwise, how are these oncologist empathize with the patient?
Now that they brought this up, shouldn't he be the BEST person to take care of Lee Gi Seok, the CIPA patient? And yet, they want him kick out while he is in their care/vicinity? Like who else in the hospital can best take care of him, AND empathize with him, but the ONLY doctor in the hospital who is suffering from CIPA? LOL.
So confused, how does the "President" of the hospital, who is also the surgeon allow a double surgery of a doctor, while sitting his ass in the office, doing nothing. Like, aren't he supposed to be helping in this kind of situation? A surgeon supposedly who has the skill?
Ahn Hyo Seop is so tall and handsome, so obvious they are trying to replicate the main guy in previous season. Sadly, I still feel attached to the characters of first season. I'm on episode 4, and felt like the whole setup/scenario is a tired trope and rehash ploy from S1. Can we just get rid of the main hospital, it's just getting boring and ridiculous, tbh.
It's a great series, unfortunately, dampened by annoying "antagonistic characters", characters who are not even worth calling a doctor, or doesn't even act like one. Jang Hyuk Jin is the worst, followed by President Do. Then you have the annoying daughter of Chairman Shin.
The highlight of this series is the villain. The series for me picks up at that point, when the villain was revealed/shown. It is obviously overstretched. It could have been wrapped up in 12-16 episodes.
They made a big fuss about the heart pain but then when he face to face with the old guy, he didn't feel hurt or pain? Like what? He even returned the second time with no pain at all?
8.5? Are you guys serious... when Marry My Dead Body only got 8????
Marry My Dead Body was released longer than this. So, it's not really a good measurement. I supposed hardcore fans watch them first and rate them high, and casual viewers will eventually rate them fairly in the long run.
1. Noh Jae-Yun appeared to be autistic. I felt bad for him in the long run because I felt people did not understand the full picture of him. I dont think he acts that way purely because he is socially awkward.
2. I can see why Jeong Mok and Kim Seung Li are popular. Jeong Mok is pretty much a ladies' man, someone who would "take care of you". Seung Li's physicality is his asset. Hyun Kuk could have been paired up with another girl if he was not singly focused on Ji Su.
3. I hated how this show turned into the 'Jeong Mok show'.
4. Worst part of this series is the gamechangers. So much hype and hope to fizzle out in an instant.
5. Yi Do is the star of the show among girls. She pretty much went through all waves of emotions and probably learned the most.
6. The dating coach should have been with them all throughout the journey. I don't know if the way they acted is purely their own - but it appears to be. They needed actually a guidance during the dating itself.
I am not sure who was the the "real" Tae Young or the real Seung Cheun in the end? The last two episodes got the…
Tae Young - the son of Kwon Yo Han (who was swapped to Hwang Hyeon Do) is now living as Lee Seung Chun
Lee Seung Chun - swapped with Han Seong Hun, the gardener. The gardener used the golden spoon and ate in the mansion, ended up swapping with Lee Seung Chun. The gardener KNOWS about the swap, and he died drinking the poisoned orange juice. Lee Seung Chun does not know about the swap (thats the rule!), and now lives as a gardener Han Seong Hun
However, Korea has an unfair advantage, given that the athletes are recycled from Physical:100. They are more familiar with these games.
