A very frustrating story...

Overall this show is watchable - if you don't mind a slow, somewhat frustrating story that doesn't quite stick the landing.
Some episodes are better than others - ep1 was seriously hard to watch but things improved from ep3 onwards (until ep10 anyway) - and the pacing is more than a bit off but if a body can get past that - and the wierd framing of the doctor as a selfless victim (imo the character was extremely selfish and more than moderately annoying - the actor who played him did a fantastic job btw) - then who knows, you might enjoy it :)

I think the actors did a great job with a less than ideal script and despite not really liking any of the characters (except the two uncles, who were pretty good & the one side dish which actually showed character development) or the actual story, I do appreciate the skills required to have pulled it all off as believably as they did.

The music was okay - not terrible but not exactly memorable either.

Cinematography etc was good, lots of interesting visuals of the city and beautiful scenery - really enjoyed the different locations, and use of lighting/weather to convey emotions. All in all a well produced obviously not low budget show.

There were a few disturbing elements that I feel viewers should have been warned about. For instance, the injured dog (in ep2 I think?) and the copious amounts of blood in various other episodes (especially ep10) could be upsetting to certain viewers, but perhaps because the show centres around a doctor/hospital it won't come as too much of a surprise.

I may rewatch this at some point, if only because the secondary couple (Boss & Toy) made for an interesting progression.

Time doesn't heal everything.

To be fair, I didn't have high expectations so wasn't terribly disappointed when everything went the way it did. Really not a fan of gay-shaming or the assertion that time heals everything though. Or the whole 'religious morals' thing.

There were a few sweet moments which were - imo - sadly overshadowed by the more unpleasant ones. Also, the attention paid to crotch shots was more than a bit disturbing. And not just because they didn't actually add to the movie in any discernable way...

Overall I think the actors did well despite the lacklustre story but yeah, wouldn't watch again.
