DoctorMan is Coming to Save The World

Short review for short drama. The pace is as fast as their runs to the OR, yet they manage to keep the intense throughout all of the episodes. Lots of messages lay behind this show including the conflict between saving a life, administration bureaucracy and making money for the hospital. As the first responder, they want to highlight that a doctor should proritize their patients life above all. It also shows how a doctor should be determined to save their patients and not to give up before it's determined. All of the casts play excellently to build the tense around the hospital.

However rather being realistic, doctor Baek Kang-Hyeok has become a Doctor-Know-All. He always knows what is good, and what he does is always good. What a flawless man: a doctor who can pilot a helicopter, climb a cliff, shoot a gun and perform operations with some questionable out of the box methods. Also while all of the medical scenes seem realistic visually, the visual during any accident and crash scenes are just bad. If you compare them both side-to-side and looking to the budget that they claimed to spend for this show, it is a bit disappointing.

Still the show is enjoyable and entertaining. It is also worth to rewatch as it's quite short and easy to get to the main action.

Good Show But Overhyped

Where is the hype? I know it's a good show but this is totally overhyped. The story on the first half is borderline between boring and calming. The story doesn't really have a strong line, and it spreads everywhere along with the episodes. People are saying that the relationship is healthy, but I can't find it when the ML and FL are stubborn and always opposing each other just for the sake of their own pride. This show has most of the standard Korean Romance show components: childhood relationship, kidnapper, triangle love, past trauma and The White Truck. The childhood relationship is really uneccesary as it doesn't bring any impact. However, it is weird that I enjoy more those tropes, while in other romance shows those are usually the most uneccessary parts.

One thing that saves this show a lot is the visual and scenery of Gongjin. It's really beautiful and brings peace to the show, even when the scene is not really peaceful. Another thing to be appreciated is the casts. Most of them play excellently, creating a very warm (and nosy) village community. Shin Min-A and Kim Seon-Ho also have an outstanding chemistry. They seem like a real enemy when they're enemies and lover when they're lovers. However this doesn't apply to the character of Pyeon Mi-Seon. At first, I thought she is as reluctant as Hye-Jin towards the villagers. However she looks closer to the villagers earlier than Hye-Jin. She also has a history of dating a lot of bad guys, but she looks nervous and stiff all the time. I feel Min-Jung fails to deliver Mi-Seon actual personality.

Additionally, I feel it's rude that June doesn't attend Gam-Ri's funeral. And what the hell are those ads in the last episode? It's too much!

The correct tag for this show should be "Healing Show". Also you will enjoy this show if you would like to have an eye-pleasing village sceneries. But if you want to watch it you have to be commited, because you may have a thought to drop it during the first half of the show.

I'm Not Disappointed, but Feel Sorry for It

How many couples do you want? Yes! I think this is going to be long from me. I really pity this show since the story has a very high potential to be a huge hit. The story depicts entertainment industry: how a celebrity make a mess, how their management works their ass to clean it up, how it's stressful dealing with fans and haters, and how threatening a fans could be to their celebrity. The story at the beginning is really good; the vibe is lightweight and joyful, and the comedy punches on point. "Nation's Eunuchs" and "The Sliding Girl"; those are impressively hilarious! However the writer seems to overthink it and bottles it just halfway the show. To me, the change is too drastic that I barely even able to handle it. It's so ominous and intense which they lost the touch of comedy and we don't even able to grin. And to finish it, they give us two filler episodes. So in short, I feel that the show is too long that they have to make up something to fill in.

In the earlier episode of the show, they bring a lot of people whose are celebrities or someone who works in the entertainment industry. However the introduction is a bit too fast, and it's difficult to differ what they actually do and how much they will impact to this story. Although they have a lot of spare that they have to add fillers, some of the tropes during the intense period are left out hanging. It is unclear why Tae-Seong mother disowned him as her son during his childhood. Tae-Seong hater-housekeeper seems unecessary because nothing comes out after she left. Tae-Seong also suddenly forgets about the salty-food syndrome. The underage hater at Episode 15 also seems unecessary because nothing related to it. Nevertheless, this story gives a great illustration about how malicious can a hater becomes towards a celebrity. Hence to all fans out there, WHEN WILL YOU LEARN????? (I'm writing this review few days after the death of Kim Sae-Ron). This show has been 3 years old, so why this kind of sh** needs to happen again???

It's nice to have such character as Oh Han-Byeol. For a romcom, she has a quite mature character. She never holds back any of her secrets and worries from Tae-Seong. Thanks to Lee Sung-Kyung who plays this character well. I almost think that she carries this show alone. I personally think that some of the casts don't have their best performance here. Kim Young-Dae gives a very good expression everytime he's fighting or teasing Han-Byeol. However for other situation, his face expressions seem unnatural. I think he's trying to make a funny expression but it doesn't come up right. Kim Yoon-Hye plays Park Ho-Yeong who is clumsy, but I think she is still a bit too stiff and flustered for that character and we end up having her with the same facial expression for almost the whole show.

I watch this show on Netflix and their subtitle is a lackluster. During the earlier episode there are a lot of names and occupations shown on screen, which Netflix decided not to put in on the subtitle. They didn't even bother to translate any few words of any articles showed on screen.

Overall I would still recommend it if you are looking for some laughs, or a lighweight and easy-to-enjoy rom-coms. It also has a lot of message behind it, regarding anti hate speech, mental health awareness and dealing with hardships.

Your Doctor Friend is Telling You His Story

I don't think I need to explain it extensively here. Hospital Playlist is an example of a well-written show. It is more like a very calming slice of life story at the hospital. The story is very simple and not dragging (not-dragging K-Dramas are quite rare nowadays). It is seems like watching a hospital documentary, but not boring. I mean, NO! It is more like listening to your doctor friend after you asking "Hi, how is it going today?". We won't be drifted by hoping that tropes should go here and there, because it is your friend telling you his/her story. It might have a good ending, it might have a bad ending, it might not have any ending yet, or it might don't have any ending because your friend just doesn't want to talk about it anymore!

This show has quite huge number of cast. And thanks to them, especially the main leads, for allowing this marvelous work to happen. The chemistry of them five is just marvelous. Most of the scenes are quite realistic, which makes me feel like I'm standing in a hospital and watching around. We can see families waiting in desperation for their relatives to pull through a surgery, the joy of parents carrying their newborn baby, doctors and nurses running in a rush to their patients and so on. Forget about all of the medical terminology that you may not understand, this show will bring you through a journey between happy and heartbreak tears.

At the end of the day, this show doesn't have any surprising or thrilling climax. You may not have any urge to watch the next episode quickly after finishing one. This show is very calm throughout all episodes, and it is better to take it slowly. Like when you are having a hectic day, going through an episode of this show may help to calm you down.

Rom-Com Gem, Even After Years Later

Watching this six years after the release, and still this one is a gem. Why can't they make Rom-coms like this nowadays? The vibe is really positive. The romance is a bit cheesy, not cringe enough though, but they have clearly choose this spirit from the very beginning and keep this consistenly throughout the season. The comedy is able to hit at the points. The storyline is really excellent, though not flawless, as they able to emphasize the focus on the main leads (they don't even need second lead couple, though I hope there is). I love how they able to maintain this focus and intensity almost all the time. It is a bit off on the last 2 episodes though, but not destructive. The triangle love is quite forgivable because it is not malicious and doesn't seem like a product of hopeless additional plot. I also love most of the characters are very mature. They don't react childishly at something and try to communicate problems to each other rather than making some wild presumptions in their own head and then come up stupid decisions. Both of them always trying to resolve every misunderstandings rightaway and moving forward. This is really a relief because most of KDramas build stories on the pile of misunderstandings nowadays.

Most audience complains that Duk-Mi stops fangirling at some point. To me, she doesn't stop. She just changes her idol.

However, I don't really like the circle of Duk-Mi's friendship. They rarely give good advice when the other is in trouble, and instead just giving support no matter whether it is right or wrong. Duk-Mi doesn't really care when Seon-Ju fight with his husband, and Seon-Ju doesn't give any advice regarding Eun-Gi's feeling towards Duk-Mi. Also I am a bit disappointed on the writing of character Kim Hyo-Jin. At first she seems like the main villain. But after she sees the truth, she neither keeps being the villain nor supporting Duk-Mi. Instead, she just becames a supplementary character that appears as an intermezzo. Director Eom's rejection on the exhibition also resolves easily, making Hyo-Jin's character more useless. She doesn't even have a clear conclusion at the end of the series apart from still working at the museum. Her relationship with her mother, and her employment status after her mother returns to the museum remains a mystery (or forgotten). They should also add the scene of Duk-Mi going to Si-An concert before taking a break fangirling.

I really like both ML and FL. PMY and Jae-Uk play both characters excellently. Even though Min-Young kissing skill still wasn't really good at that time, to me they really have a great chemistry. The storytelling on each piece of art is great and also soundtrack is amazing!

I wanted to give a 9, if it's not for the last 2 episodes. To me the main highlight of this show is the consistency of the pace and intensity. I would still recommend this even for rewatch because up until now, it is still rare to find something like this.

Great Heartwarming and Healing Rom-Com

The premise of this show is annoyingly relates to me: someone who has been pressured all their live to achieve all of the expectations set by others. Then when they fail, everyone just run and leave them without any shoulder to lean. After we fail we may become hesitant: "if I choose this next, will I become happy?" But life is all about choices. We are bound to go through sadness and happiness. If you can't take it no more, just quit, does not matter what other people think. Thanks to this show to again raising mental health awareness. The story is not just good, but also heartwarming and healing-some. It shows that even you are a successful person, doesn't always mean that you will be happy. We should know that the "perfect life" that we picture in other people may not be really perfect, or we maybe will not fit in that kind of life! Yes there is a lot of misunderstandings in the relationship, but thanks to the writer that the characters always trying to resolve everything rather than putting everything into more convoluted tensions. The sudden breakup is not neccessary, but I think this can be forgiven since the both are not in a good mental state. Comedies seem to be in the right place. I also really like the narrative style. It somewhat shows that everyone has overcome their pains already.

Park Shin-Hye again does an excellent job. However, I really feel bad to the character of Jeong-Woo. His personality is too childish to his age, and he mostly overreacts at everything. Annoyingly, his appearance also looks somewhat much younger than other lead characters, even though they are all should be nearly in the same age. He looks as young as Ba-Da. On the other hand, Nam Ba-Da character is a bit cringe. At first I thought he just jealous with his more successful sister's job, but he is a total asshole. He is heartless and keeps trash talking even when he knows that everyone around him is hurting and in a depression. I always thought that the background for killing someone as "I want them to feel the same pain" is a dumb reason. Especially in this show when Kyu-Min is a doctor with such knowledge, power and money, it will be more reasonable for him to try killing Jeong-Woo in more vicious ways. Even "making him feel worse pain than me" will seems better and more reasonable.

This show most likely has already prepared to end at 12. The premises after their reconciliation are most likely a filler. The pace is slow and the level of importance does not similar with first half of the show. The second lead couple does not get a fair treatment. They get less screentime during the first half, and suddenly increase just when the writer needs some fillers. It neither bad nor destroying though, but it is quite noticable that they intent to add something to fulfill the episode number requirements. They should instead write about Ha-Neul backstory. She was a cheerful person prior to her father's death, but the writer never shows the turning point or why she chose to live an ambitious-autonomous studying life. I was going to mad when they want to send Ha-Neul abroad in the last episode but thankfully it is a twist.

To me, this is a good healing rom-com. I don't really understand why people rarely mention this show when it comes to best K-Dramas of 2024, it's better than some of the shows that they usually mention! You will learn a lot through this show, especially about giving your shoulder to someone struggling and most importantly, FIGHTING!!

Excellent Spin-Off!

The spin-off from No Gain No Love! This spin-off really shows how good is the second lead story in NGNL. The whole story is excellent and hilarious. HJH and LSY do a fabulous job playing both character. It's great that they made it just into 2 episodes, rather than a series of boring and pointless story. And apparently, this spin-off also explains the reason how Ja-Yeon fell in love with Gyu-Hyun in the parent series.

Though I think they should add 1 episode. It should contain the ending of the novel, since Ja-Yeon wrote the ending after being together with Gyu-Hyun.

I really recommend it! The story is very light and enjoyable. However, I recommend to watch NGNL prior watching this spin-off, so you can understand why Ja-Yeon really hated Gyu-Hyun so much.

This is How Rom-Coms Should Be

I don't generally write reviews, but I will start with this one really.

This one will increase the standard of rom-coms! The plot is really basic, rich ML boss and employee FL couple. The difference in this show executes it excellently. They don't need silly premises such as ML and FL childhood connections or "FL is being chased by a serial killer". Instead, they use a very basic and straighforward plot, yet unique and entertaining. Since the beginning, I think they have chosen to have more comedy rather than romance, and they maintain the comedy really well thoughout the episodes. I like that all the romance scenes are not cringe and totally enjoyable. Silly act? They were all silly since the beginning so that's not a problem! The OST is really great. The way they put it as Melomance concert is a great idea (and I really like the Se-Jeong version).

Given the intensity of the story that we get from the very first, the ending is a bit let down. I feel that the Yoo-Ra's internet hate comments premise is uneccessary. It makes the last 3 episodes feels bland and lose the grip somehow. I personally think that there should be several stories to be explored rather than to pick that option as the ending. I really want Ha-Ri to have a proper closure with Grandpa. I personally think it is better if they add 2 more episodes. After all, most K-Drama have the same problem about not-so-good quality ending.

Oh, I wonder what is the ending of Be Strong, Shin Geum Hui.

On top of all, I will definitely still recommend this. Very light story and easy to enjoy. So far still my best rom-com series (I don't watch a lot of rom-coms though).

It's Hospital but not Playlist

If you're a Hospital Playlist series fans and watching this to get the same vibes, you will be disappointed. So please, hold your expectations. While Hospital Playlist series has a more relaxed plot, this show surely has a bold and tense storyline from the very first episode. In HP series, you just watch a casual, yet-not-so-normal day as a doctor in a hospital. In this show there are clearly goal or let's say storyline: they need to survive their first year of residency. So whatever it takes it will be around them and their mistakes as the first year, as well as their desire to give up at any time. And also no band sessions after working hour here! In my opinion, this show is more like Dr. Romantic, but with more laid-back style.

I like the choice of the cast. There are some uncommon faces here, but yet they deliver excellently, just like typical Shin PD's show! Go Youn-Jung is playing with a disgust face towards her job, which is hilarious. Shin Si-A is somehow has the most "doctor" aura between the R1s.

Even it's still good, the first episode is kinda messed up for me. This episode is somewhat dragging and doesn't match any other episode's vibe because of the tensions building between characters, as well as the romance that hit too early in the beginning. Character development is very strong in this show, at least for the R1 doctors. But for me it's not easy to identify Nam-Gyeong's. We can easily identify that I-Yeong is there because of her debt, Sa-Bi is of course trying to be number one, and Jae-Il is trying to hang on amidst his lack of intelligence, but Nam-Gyeong? At the first episode she is boasting about her grades, but throughout the show nothing notable shown. She also seems to prefer enjoying luxurious lifestyle compared to what she gets in the hospital, but it is unknown whether she's trying to quit her job or to hang on. Is she doing all these solely because of Yeo Mi-So?

I love the Hospital Playlist casts cameo. But some cameo scenes need more work so it will become enjoyable. Seok-Min and Seon-Bin's scene is too short and not really impactful. Also no band sessions don't mean that there won't be any good soundtracks!

On top of that, this is still a highly recommended series! If you feel that Hospital Playlist too slow and boring, maybe you should try this one because it has more intense storyline, but still relaxing to enjoy at the end of your exhausting days!

Oh, and I prefer the second season of this compared the third season of HP. Imagine what would happen when they're in R2 year and having R1s under them? The last episode is not fulfilling and left some things kinda hanging. There will a sequel, won't it?

Hang In There, You Will Meet A Good Person

"Yesterday is over, tommorow is yet to come, today... is unknown"

For the umpteenth time I have to say that this genre is not my tea. However once again, I fall for this show. This show is a story of people with their own hardships, when they are so down and nothing goes in the way they want. They feel like they have to go through all of the sh*ts alone with no one to trust and to hold on. But hang in there, a good person will come, it will be over. The story is about two twin sisters whose have polar opposite personality. Yu Mi Ji is a free spirited and cheerful person, but she doesn't feel to have any life meaning. On the other hand her twin, Yu Mi Rae seems like a decent and smart girl, but actually she is overworked and just barely hanging on. All of these situations are the result of their overbearing mother. Funny enough that their mom is the only one who can't distinguish the twins, while others like their grandmothers, neighbours and even classmates can do it.

Park Bo Young is definitely the star of this show. She exceptionally plays two characters who have totally different personalities. And don't forget Lee Jae In as the young twins, she does a great job. To me, it has been a while since I saw a drama with such chemistry. Bo Young and Park Jin Young have a great chemistry, even when the romance is not someting very ecsatic. I guess that's the correct romance though, nothing you can expect when you start a relationship with someone you already knew for more than 10 years, right? The villains are borderline between okay-ish and too dragging, but I'll take it as okay. The conflicts at the corporation aren't too overcomplicated. I feel the amount of problems is appropriate, compared to the number of episodes. The visual effects are great, they put a lot of double Bo Young scenes smoothly. Additionally, the soundtrack is excellent.

There are some things that are still bothering me. Compared to Mi Ji and Ho Su who already knew each other for long, I feel the romantic development between Se Jin and Mi Rae is too fast, especially Mi Rae is the type of person who shove her feelings. There should be a reason behind it (and I think they both have a past connection, considering this is a K-Drama after all). It is also unknown how does Se Jin notice it is Mi Rae at first, considering he isn't from Duson-Ri and he has never met Mi Ji before.

"Love isn't about winning or losing. It's about remaining on the same team until the very end even if you lose."
It's a shame that the writer choose to translate that quote through misunderstandings and unecessary breakup. Problem is they already have some misunderstandings before. By doing it that way the story becomes repetitive and boring, even when the reasons behind it are understandable. The final episode is beautiful but storywise it's kinda filler. Most of the plot in the last episode don't really impactful to the main story.

On top of that, I feel like this is a good healing drama. There are a lot of lessons we can take from this show alone. This show is worth to watch when you are looking for something to comfort you.

"I'm going to make it out. Everyone is waiting outside."

Mental Illness is Not A Crime

What a great show! A massive highlight to mental health awareness for everyone. We all need to understand that having a mental illness is neither a shame nor crime. Mental illness is not something to be taken lightly, we may not be able to see it on people around us because people tend to hide, ignore, or push away this type of hardship. At the end of the day, we may become Song Yu Chan who pushed Jung Da Eun to take a spoon she can't hold, and add more burden to them.

Most part of the show are painful, yet very realistic. However, it's heartwarming and relieving because there are certainly hope and sunshine waiting for them. Some parts of them may a beautiful morning while some others may be cold dark night, that's life. I like the addition of doctor Hwang Yeo Hwan, it adds comedy touch to the show.

Not so much complaint on this show. I personally prefer more patients case rather than personal one, but I think they did it on purpose to highlight that "a doctor can get sick". There should be more explanation about Jung Da Eun past, what burden caused her depression in her past internal medicine department. Additionally, I think the number of comedy is uneven. The first part of the show has more of it, so it is a bit more difficult to cleanse all the pain in the second part of the show.

Should I recommend this show? Unless you get bored easily with slice of life genre, then it's a YES, DEFINITELY. In conclusion: everyone can catch a cold, everyone can have an indigestion, so is mental illness. There's no guarantee it won't hit you.

Not Only One But Two Masterpiece Romantic Stories

Holy hell, this show is damn magnificent! I started this show with zero expectations,. However as the story started progressing, I began to cherish it enthusiasticly. It was beautifully written, not only one but two love stories. The earlier episodes were really slow, I can understand if several audience choose to drop it. But that was the overall pace, and that was the exact pace so we could enjoy this show. The story was all about revealing the truth about a writer, Han Se Ju, and his fan, Jeon Seol, regarding their past life back in 1930s. It was also about slowly revealing the promise they made in the past. As they recalled their past memory, they began to understand what happened and what shouldn't happened, like putting a puzzle pieces together. That slow pace was the way we could enjoy it being slowly revealed. I love the character development of the leads. I was afraid due to their mistakes in the past, they would begin to run away for the sake of avoiding making the same mistake. Thankfully, they all were mature enough, and thanks to Se Ju strong-willed personality due to his childhood trauma, to ensure they had the same vision: to never repeat the past mistakes. There is a good mixture of romance, mystery, and comedy too.

The cast did an outstanding performance. Yoo Ah In did a great job, it's a shame he did stupid things later on in real life. Im Soo Jung rarely appears on a drama, and once she did she always had an impressive job. Even all of the supporting characters did an excellent job here.

Several things that bothers me: I still couldn't understand why Seol decided to stay around Se Ju after he was being excessively harsh to her, it didn't make sense at all. I think Cho Sang Mi's storyline was unnecessary. The story about Tae Min and his problematic family was already complicated itself, there was no need to bring another storyline into it. Also, Ma Bang Jin didn't get a proper closure.

The soundtracks are really nice. I enjoy it a lot.

Should you watch it? Of course! If you're searching for a deep, slow-burn, and heartwarming story, you should try this.

And I would like to close the review with this quote from the show. "If you want to say something today, say it. Tommorow might not be yours. Your loved ones won't always by your side."

Silly, it's totally silly. The comedy is hit and miss. When it hits it's hilarious, when it misses it's lame. People are saying you need to turn of your brain to enjoy this absurdity. However there are a lot of show with absurd plot that is far better than this one. To me, this one is just a result of lazy storywriting. The ending is also very underwhelming. I want to know how they persuaded the casts to appear on this show.

Watch only if you can laugh out loud almost every jokes.

A Treasure of KDrama

"To the things that are already gone, to the time that has already passed, I want to say a belated farewell. Goodbye, my youth, goodbye, Ssangmun-dong."

I'm very very sad when I finished this show. It's like I'm parting ways with my best friends.

It takes 5 years to make something close to this level (Hospital Playlist) and another 5 years to make something with same level scriptwriting (WLGYT). This show is a treasure of Korea. They need nothing to hook me up, no goals on the storyline, just people living their own days. It's the same as listening to your friend's story about his family. And since your friend is the one telling the story, it never gets boring. They able to mix up all the feelings: joy, sadness, desperate, anger.

What a lovely neighborhood they live in, they really care of each other. The scriptwriting is on another level. They bring us through a journey of laugh and tears, often quickly. There are several parts where I laughing so hard while sobbing. Comedy part is also written excellently. On the scene where there neighborhood are gathering to discuss a christmas present for Jin Ju, Jae Myung is asking for anyone to give suggestions. I laughed so hard the moment Jae Myung raises his hand, even though nothing happened yet. This is because of a very strong build up that happens prior that event. They also highlighted everyone excellently: their fears, vulnerabilities, despair, desires, everything. Jung Bong for example, even though he's a bit lack on intelligence, he's the sweetest person in the neighborhood. The casts play a great part in this show, especially the parents. Extraordinary performance for Hyeri too, as a "very loud" Deok Sun.

The earlier episode is quite slow, and painful to see the torture Bo Ra gives to the family everyday. People with zero patience may drop it easily. I also think Dong Ryong is a bit sidelined compared to others. But my main complaint is about the massive censorship of this show in OTTs. The censorship is already on "impacting the main story" level. They removed some TV ads, book covers, posters and soundtracks while they regularly is the part of the story. I heard they also removed some scenes because of the sake of "copyright".

This show hits hard everyone in 25s and above, a lot of messages (and memories) inside. For example the moment Deok Sun says she has no dream, it hits me hard because that's what happened to me around that age. This show is also best to watch with your family. It's my first time to put a perfect score here. Should you rewatch it? Definitely yes.

Once again, an astonishing story from Dr. Romantic. This show has successfully hooked me for 3 SEASONS. They are really good on creating such malicious plot. But everytime you think something evil going to happen at "this" point they always able to twist it, because it's all about humans and saving their lifes after all! The storyline this season is more instense than the previous one. But we still can see the thrilling stories from all doctors and nurses in the team. They all have overcomed their hardships once, now they're free to chase their dream. Massive shout out to doctor Jung In Su, he was once "accidentally" dragged to Doldam. But with his hardwork and commitment, he's now the Head of Trauma Center EM. I like this season more because it has less political issue and focus more on the patients and treatments. Dr. Jang Dong Hwa is a good representation of us, how we are shocked, thrilled, impressed and hooked by all of the stories around Doldam Hospital.

They should give second title to this show: The Downfall of Yang Ho Jun. Man has gone from the second-hand of director to being left behind during evacuation.

I don't need to mention, this is the peak performance of the casts across all seasons. Ahn Hyo Seop and Lee Sung Kyung performance improve a lot here, to the point of outstanding.

Still there's a flaw in this story. Across the other season in this franchise, this show has the less showcase of the Master Kim's skill. During the shooting incident, it is unknown what is the cause of the shooter to shot the thugs and kidnap doctor Seo U Jin. It is also unknown how he manages to survive the bullet and walk away from the incident. On the day the Trauma Center lost their first patient, there is a shortage of doctors due to Cha Eun Jae being on another operation, making Kang Dong Ju has to deal with three patients all by himself. However actually there is another available doctor: Yang Ho Jun, but somehow they don't page him. Dr. Bae Mun Jung is also originally belongs to Cha Jin Man's trauma team (he joins the preparation briefing), but somehow he's removed and returned to Doldam. The final episode is somewhat makjang and I personally think it's lower on quality compared to the other episodes. The fate of Cha Jin Man is also unknown. I mean he's Eun Jae's father after all and we want to see whether he finally regrets everything, but maybe they're saving it for another season?

Such and intense yet heartwarming story. Even there aren't many more to explore, I think it's good to see another season!
