this AND Heated Rivalry?!? Merry Christmas indeed

at this point, Hyung Gu is basically light yagami from death note

ep1 "pediatrics dr an jeong won to OR 12" love this reference to hospital playlist lol

watched ep 6 last night, and the library scene was my fav.

Hani's crying is so real and raw -- it's heart breaking. I don't see many actors in kdramas cry like that.

for a sec there, I forgot to turn my brain off while watching the first 5 minutes of ep 3

really wanted this to have an ending like Night in Paradise, but oh well. music is lit tho.

oh my god Jung Tae Soo is so hot

if you’re thinking of starting this drama, skip the first 4-5 minutes of ep 1 bc there’s a big spoiler :D

I have this great habit of binging an ongoing drama like 2 weeks before final exams (spring quarter it was Hospital Playlist). caught up to ep 11 and I can't wait for the rest. plot reminds me of SKY Castle, but the dramatic execution gives me World of the Married vibes.

a criminally underrated gem of a drama. 9/10

as I was watching this, I sometimes had to rewatch a few clips from Squad 38 as a reminder that the two characters are both played by Seo In Guk. seriously, they're like completely different people, and I can't believe they're played by the same person

such an underrated drama. I can't believe I put it on hold because it was "boring" three years ago, but I totally binged it a couple days ago. kept me guessing until the very end. stellar acting from the entire cast, esp Seo In Guk and Ma Dong Seok (now I remember why I'm such a big fan of the former). 9/10

also, this show gives me major Six of Crows vibes (one of my fav book series)

it's scary how accurate a drama can be... goes to show how these things can happen in real life

their chemistry be sizzlin xDD

I'd rather watch a drama with crappy editing than one with beautiful cinematography but a boring-as-hell plot.

this drama is realistic with the perfect mix of friendship, family, and romance. ya'll sleeping on this drama need to try this asap. I swear it's better than most of the recent mainstream dramas...

plus it's only 8 1-hr episodes, so no room for dragging.

I've (unfortunately) finished the entire frickin thing

phenomenal cinematography and acting, but the storyline failed to impress me. too slow for my liking...

I love how Ae Sin compares herself to a flame instead of a flower. She is strong and burns brightly. She acknowledges that she is a woman whose flame will one day die out, but not without leaving a lasting impact on her nation.
