“I don't know how to love in a cool, mature way like you do.” ~ Chang Min This is by no means a good drama. Character development, plot development, relationship development, it's all lacking. Watch this for the heroine's competence, the second male lead's adorkable performance and Choi Jin Hyuk's perfect facial expressions. It's pretty long at 21 episodes but the more I saw of the main couple and even the secondary couple, the more I liked them. It really is an enjoyable drama. I wasn't looking forward to a medical drama but I actually found that I really started getting on board with the drama when the hospital work started. There are plenty of insults and bickering being flung around but I just skipped over it. Chang Min is pretty popular among the interns but Jin Hee is not. They call her the old lady so that amused me that Chang Min would fall back in love with her again. Despite all the antagonism it's not long before they are protecting each other in spur of the moment decisions. I also like the concept that trivial matters like divorce don't matter in life and death situations. And people's real values and strengths can arise in a crisis. The setting of the internship is also a nice background for leveling all the interns no matter what background they come from they are equal. Finally, the dudes in this drama are pretty shy and gawky when it comes to romance which is always fun. Chang Min I am so ridiculously biased to Choi Jin Hyuk. He is one of my all time favourite actors to crush on. I was beyond excited to finally watch a drama where he gets the main role. I have to admit I was a little alarmed to see his personality at first. I've only ever seen him as kind and serious. Even in rom-coms. I wasn't sure if this show would ruin him for me but he's too handsome not to enjoy seeing him on the screen and his comic face gets me every time. He's hilarious. And when he turned the charm on...I was so done. I've also never seen him smile so much. He gets fawned on a lot by women which I can understand, but it amuses me to have my crush on him so validated. His awkwardness when he's on the receiving end of attention is adorable. I especially liked that all the young things (and some older women too!) are chasing him around and he's just following after Jin Hee all the time. Chang Min comes from a doctor family and he's very knowledgable. He always knows what's wrong with a patient and what to do. I was glad that he wasn't a braggart about that. He was a braggart about everything else though. I really liked his acting after his crisis towards the end of the drama. It's a side of him that doesn't really appear throughout and I liked seeing his hopeless and listless portrayal. It was really effective. Jin Hee This girl is rocking the red hair. I love that she took her weaknesses and did something about them. She can be quite impulsive but she has the guts to respond in emergencies better than Chang Min. Of course there are mistakes but she proves her competence again and again. It's brilliant. Romance “I don't remember it at all. About seducing a girl...how do I even start? How did I do it in the beginning?” After Chang Min gets over his immaturity over the divorce he really is a oppa kind of hero. He likes to take care of everything for Jin Hee and I mean everything. The pair had great chemistry. Both as colleagues and as a couple. Chief Chun Soo I liked this guy in Pinocchio so I was really happy to see him again. He maintains that awkwardness and abruptness that is so endearing. He makes for a great boss with a past. Firm but compassionate and a little geeky. He really became the highlight of the show for me. He's so good at smiling with his eyes. Elders I think this is a really good example of how much Jin Hee loves Chang Min that she can love his mother as well. I also find it amusing that really both Jin Hee and I were both most touched when Chang Min said, “I'll never let her yell at you again.” Gwang Soo I didn't think this weirdo would get a mention. But I did like him. “If you practice a lot in music you don't make mistakes on stage. But you don't get to practice marriage, it starts right away as a live show. So of course accidents can happen. People aren't watermelons. You have to tap so many of them to choose one.” Professor Shim I liked how wholeheartedly she supported Chun Soon.
