This drama has got to be one of the best when it comes to the use of power plays as its theme. It also keeps in mind a smarter audience so that as much as one can deduce exactly what is happening, the characters never go the roundabout way in getting to the crux of the matter. Traps and attempts are easily unveiled and they make for quick intelligent actions and decisions. These I suppose are what makes it a little different from other drama format.
The only reason I couldn't fully enjoy this is probably Lee Hae Jo's character or maybe it was just Han Hye Jin I wasn't so satisified with since I couldn't really warm up to her acting.
Syndrome also presents two generations of doctors and their love stories where maybe not in a long while have I appreciated the older characters trajectory arc more.
Though I mentioned love stories, really don't expect romance, as central to this drama is a gritty power play that also strongly touches on medical ethics.
The music is vague in my memory but I seems to remember they've sometimes played a love song at inappropriate scenes.
I believe its quite good enough for a one-time watch, also I would hardly re-watch any medical drama.
