"Amah, you're my number one."

One scene that stuck with me is when the grandmother seeks help from her wealthy brother, only to be met with indifference, which broke my heart at how success, hard work, and failure can divide families or create unspoken tensions, which reflect inequalities that exist within even the closest bonds. I couldn’t help but think of my brother and hope the both of us never lose sight of having compassion for each other as we age.

It captures the bittersweet journey of aging and the richness of a life fully lived, even as it approaches its end. It reminds me of the struggles, joys, and sacrifices that shape a person's life over the years. It’s a poignant reminder that every elderly person has a unique history filled with experiences that deserve to be acknowledged and cherished.

Grandma’s story serves as a gentle reminder that, at the end of the day, success and failure matter far less than the love and care we give each other. It’s those moments of kindness and connection that truly endure.

I knew this drama would be my type.

What I love most is how Dr. Baek’s relentless passion for saving lives inspires everyone around him. His determination is truly contagious!

Like Dr. Yang, who transitions from colorectal to trauma center because he was touched by Dr. Baek's dedication and also his amazing surgery skills. Unlike many doctors who flaunt their trophies, Dr. Baek keeps photos of his surviving patients, highlighting his genuine commitment to their well-being. This emotional connection adds depth to the narrative and showcases the importance of compassion in medicine.

I also find it so endearing how Dr. Baek gives his residents quirky nicknames like Anus, Number One, and Gangster. It’s even more touching that he only calls them by their real names once they prove their dedication to saving lives—such a powerful way to show his respect.
