So this is the kind of series that starts with a few fart jokes and turns into a very heavily emotional and exciting story.
Is there such a kind of thing? Yes, there is, and it's great.

The story was quite nice, it had lots of cliffhanger moments, where you just had to keep going to see what's gonna happen. The whole setting was interesting and entertaining to follow.

It was very emotional, with some dramas, little evil schemes, your typical drama stuff I suppose, but it was done nicely I think, it wasn't irritating, or too much. There were also a lot of lovely moments, where you just had to keep watching to get more! It felt sweet and honest. The mains were great! And the side characters also deserve a thumbs up!

The show also had I think an okay premise, about how doctors should be doctors just to save lives and such, but to be honest I don't think it came out so straightforwardly at times, even though they tried to highlight it with actions and words, but it wasn't always clear what they wanted to show as something bad or why it was a bad thing. Well, it's a little confusing without revealing details, and that's not my intention, so let's just say, I though it was a little confusing in the writing too...

It was quite silly at times, good silly and bad silly as well, like how some problems were solved in a too cheesy way sometimes, but usually it was actually quite realistic and serious enough to believe the situations and such.

The only bigger problem I had with this show is the one I usually have with similar romantic time-traveler shows. This is the reason I don't really like them to be honest, even though they have such potential. You know, it's the solution. But I won't say anything more about this, I read some people were satisfied with it, I'm not, but I knew it long before I won't be.

About the rating, I'd say it's a very strong 8, which is a GOOD show in my book. But for personal reasons about the flaws of time-traveling ending, I had to give it a 7.5. (sorry)

Still, such a nice, entertaining, sweet series! If you want something that has actually a quite exciting setting, but also some sweet moments, I'd say give it a try!
