First of all, I don't get the rating. 8.0?? That's wayyy overrated. I didn't bother to watch this series until the end because it bored me to death. The plot is not new and it contains most of the typical, cliche troupe in drama.
1. FL with naive, stupid and big eyes - check!
2. ML with tsundere personality - check!
3. The unforgettable first love - check!
4. Love triangle between brothers - check!
5. Revenge plot - check!
6. Second lead who has a better personality but the FL still chooses the arrogant, cold-hearted ML - check! check!

And what else new?

Aside from the gender bender troupe which I like by the way (that's why I watched this drama), the execution is terrible. I thought with only 28 episodes, it probably cramped with lots of action but to my disappointment, it fills with fillers. This drama should be 16 episodes only. Nothing interesting happens and I skipped most of the scenes. But this can't win over how bad the actings are.

Female Lead - She is soooo naive and stupid. If you think this is about medical drama (which why the title is), forget about it. There are so few scenes she's showing her skill as a doctor; most is she's running errands for the ML. So I don't get the title. I really dislike the FL. She constantly makes trouble and then let the brothers clean her mess. WTH. This is my first time watching this actress but I dislike it. Her cuteness is over the top and she's not cute al ALL.

Male Lead - Ahhh where do I begin with the bad acting. He triumphed them all with the overboard scowling, the same expression either he's happy, angry or sad. Oh, did he even sad because I didn't feel it. What's the use of good looking face if you can't act? Such a waste. It made me cringe whenever he tried to be annoyed and angry. But what's more important is there's no chemistry between the two of them! Zero!

Color palette - Another problem is the drama use bright and colorful color, so bright it can't distinguish between dreams and reality. While this drama is about revenge, but since it used such palette, it made the scenes less serious. Same with the sad scenes. I can't feel the pain or sadness.

Plot - Like I mentioned before, it dragged and fills with filler. So little cases but most are the FL trying to please the ML, enjoying herself, earning money and playing with the SL. If you skipped, you will realize you actually watch 10 minutes of important scenes and while the others are such a waste of time. And I don't get how the so-called intelligent commander took almost 20+ episodes to figure out her gender while his brother in a split of the moment could tell she's a girl.

And so, because of the ridiculous plot and eye-sore acting, I dropped it. I didn't even bother to watch the end to know the mystery of her parents' death. Usually, even if the drama is bad, I will skip to the end to know the ending. At least the opening still tolerable. But with Dr. Cutie, I can't and I won't.

Will I recommend it? To those who like nonsensical plot with good humor (at least the drama made me laugh), you can watch it for a laugh. For those who handsome male lead, you can watch it but bear with the scowling. And for those who expect this drama will be about a female doctor trying to win her boss's heart with her skills and intelligence, while all the way trying to get her revenge in a serious way, stay away from this drama. You will not get a Daejangeum vibe from it. So don't waste your precious time.
