great obstacles don't make a relationship great
I saw the high MDL score and decided to watch it. you guys have no taste
Main issue: they don't have one scene where main couple enjoys each other's company. they are either childhood memories (which is NOT enough to base your whole life on) or they're arguing for no reason in the present. WHY DO THEY WANT TO BE TOGETHER??
The mere volume of obstacles doesn't mean they have to face them and be with each other. there was no sustance in their story, so i had to drop it at ep17.
Individual arcs: Her arc as a doctor trying to extricate herself from her family's clutches was really interesting. It ties beautifully with her attitude towards her career, she wants to be the best to finally be able to make decisions about her life. Her mom is a worthy antagonist, I was floored when she reminded of her immense priviledge and added another layer to their dynamic. other than that fl is nothing to write home about, even though i love seeing career women in dramas
male lead: great motivation for his work ethic: he wants to be the best to be allowed to date fl, who is from a high class. But he's so mean and immature with her, at least up to ep17 that I can't root for them. He rejects her and then cries about how much he loves her. Boohoo bitch, grow up.
bromance: favourite part by far, such a shame it only lasted 10 eps. the captain and instructor's frienship made them both sympathetic heroes, they complimented each other's approaches and were excellent superiors. plus my man was constantly reminding the boys of mental health besides the physical. we stan an emotionally aware king. you left too soon, baby
acting: i don't agree with people online bullying one of the cast for their acting skills. still, the acting was agressively average. it wasn't so bad but i will not be following the main actors' careers any time soon
military propaganda: at every freaking scene. you're not fooling us, china. and you could add female firefighters for starters.
TL;DR: Don't trust MDL scores, it's always the most boring shows who have the highest. this is watchable but not unmissable
