He was so good in Bad Guys. I mean, I’ve seen him in Doctor Stranger before but his portrayal of Lee Jung Moon in Bad Guys is remarkable. I hope to see him in more psychopath roles in the future.
Completed. Could have been nice if they really did get a second season where they can work on getting the bad guys without the already unnecessary mistrust and tension after everything unfolded but oh well... gotta make do of the spin-off. An 8.5/10.
I understand why they put a character like Yoo Mi Young. It is to balance the unit but what I don’t really like is the way they wrote a character like her who only knows how to whine and nag. I’m already on episode 8 but she still remains to be a character who has not brought anything to the table — neither intellect nor strength which should be skills present by an officer her level. It didn’t help that I feel like KYW (first time seeing a series of her) did not do the characterization any justice. Both her acting and voice were bland and monotonous all the time.
Exactly, everyone got a chance to shine except him. They could have had a professor Master, a student Master,…
True! And it doesn’t make me feel good that they keep making him do things he isn’t comfortable repeatedly. I mean... sure, his awkwardness as some activities (i.e. dancing, singing) weren’t his forte was funny and all in the beginning until it just becomes something that as a spectator, you just wish they’d stop doing to him. And some people shouldn’t even say lines like: “it’s a variety show, what should you expect?” I mean sure, it is indeed a variety show but their concept of having great dynamics despite the members’ individual differences and varied personality types is just being, in my honest opinion, set aside and trivialized the moment they make him do things he isn’t really gifted in (which is unfair for him). And it’s not even because he isn’t trying his best because in every episode... I see him trying so hard just so he won’t be a burden for the team. I guess, it’s been really stressful for a guy like him who, by the looks of it, doesn’t really enjoy being put in the spotlight (which would be quite ironic, i know, considering that he is an actor and he’s used to being in the limelight but yeah). I hope Sang Yoon would still appear in variety shows though after this like be a regular in a show like Problematic Men or something. I also hope that he’d be in touch with his members despite leaving.
Meanwhile, I still wish that this show would not crumble, given that their concept has been at sea for some time now, as I’ve been a supporter from the very first time it aired. Hope it finds a concept that they’d follow so it won’t feel like it’s going all over the place.
It’s weird that the series about the two characters I’ve been so passionate about is coming to an end in a week or so. It feels both so long and short of a period for me. I still remember the happiness I’ve felt when the roles have been reprised by Vengo and Reba (these two made these characters their own to the point that I couldn’t really picture out any other being DHD and BFJ... it’s theirs and theirs alone). And now that the series I’ve waited for two years to be released is about to end, I feel sad in a way. It’s a lingering feeling — the feeling of not wanting to let go of a series I so held (and still hold) dearly in my heart. Sounds so dramatic, I know, but whenever the realization dawns... I can’t help but feel a bit empty. Moment of bittersweetness indeed. Not yet the time to be mushy but I guess I just want to express my thoughts as early as now. Should I call this a pre- self-preparation of some sort? Hahahaha.
I like Dong Hua Dijun the most out of the three characters Vengo is playing but I think Shen Ye is the most beautiful among the three. With those two tendrils, damn... I don’t know about you but he really did look like a mage and Vengo’s face feature has been highlighted.
I might have to drop this show already since two original members are leaving. Actually, the show has not been the same anymore ever since they changed the format and segmenting so it wasn’t as fun for some recent episodes now. But really... I’m sad that Sang Yoon (who has actually been my favorite) has not been given enough time to shine (he did win two individual awards still). Like I was always hoping that they’d give him an opportunity to shine on what he excels in. I was waiting for a master who is known in the field of science even if it’s just once so Sang Yoon can lead somehow but alas, won’t happen anymore.
First time seeing a role played by Kwak Shi Yang and man, he can play an annoying creep effectively. Wanted to not skip parts but he’s an effective annoying character that I find myself fast forwarding his parts in the last two episodes (currently 7/16).
I like how DH is a tiny bit more perceptive and quick witted here than in the novel. In the series, he was able to discern that Aranya is his Xiao Bai preceding the dungeon situation as compared to his realization in the novel that happened only subsequent overhearing her emotional breakdown towards Mo Ye.
Some of my favorite lines and scenes:1. Doctor Koo’s transition from “My father said this quite often: Step…
I was quite satisfied with how they ended this. I understood Prof. Choi’s perspective of not being able to turn back halfway so if his decision can help mitigate more future corruption (by ousting the root of evil) then why backout last minute right?
Meanwhile, I didn’t expect the nurse to be the son of the Cardio Chief. It was nice to see two chiefs finally getting their bearing and doing what’s right. I’m happy that Chief Koo became the hospital chief. Hahaha.
Also, I’m most happy that my favorite Prof. Lee finally became chief of the anesthesiology department. Way to go!
It’s unfortunate that they haven’t been able to explore the part where the OR team were interviewed. It’d been a good point for the hospital if it was shown to the public, especially after that big issue. But I get how it doesn’t connect somehow so it’s probably just me remembering that content. Haha.
It’s weird that it’s not because of the leads that I’m hooked in this series. I think the OR team and CS…
Some of my favorite lines and scenes:
1. Doctor Koo’s transition from “My father said this quite often: Step back and avoid difficult surgeries” to “When did we ever have guarantees that there wouldn’t be complications? How could you call yourself a cardiothoracic surgeon? I’m going to scrub in” to his father in episode 20. So smooth, we all have to stan.
2. Intern saying realistically that she would rather transfer her loved one to another hospital to find the best surgeon instead of choosing a doctor like Doctor Koo’s level to operate then Doctor Koo suddenly appearing and her realizing that there’s more to him when he uttered, “Don’t worry! I’m going to do my best as if I’m operating on my own mother.”
3. Prof. Lee’s “Sure! Do you think I won’t get a job if you fire me? I’ve been thinking about opening a pain managemnt clinic lately [anyway].” when asked if he wanted to get fired then proceeds to walkout from the VIP’s OR like the upright and competent doctor that he is in episode 26. Mad respect to my favorite person in the series. Bonus is the part where everyone followed suit like: then call another circulating nurse; scrub nurse; perfusionist too. Bravo team! Serves the damn greedy people right.
Special mention to Prof. Lee’s deity-like delaying tactics. So far, he has done twice. Hahaha.

Btw, you may have to change your comment’s setting as spoiler for those who are just starting the series? Hahaha :)
