The most terrible logic among series I've seen in 2021 so far. Cute leads can't help.

The logic of this series is very messy. I started the first 4ep and concluded a score of 3. When I reached ep6, the score dropped to 2. After finishing the whole series, I'd really like to give 1 as the final score, but I let loose a bit and it's purely because of my bias to the FL. The quality of the series itself doesn't deserve 2 stars.

----------------------------------------------

Let me give some examples from ep6 of how the logic in this series is so much chaotic. (The examples are trivia scenes, which wouldn't spoil the story.)

- A mother of a child patient wants to snatch a toy of another child patient, age around 6 yrs old, for her own child. She openly threatens and blames the little child who is the toy's owner in front of a bunch of children at the kids' play space in the hospital's building. I can't imagine this happens at a pediatric ward anywhere in the world, but it happens here in this series! Not only an adult, who is also a mother, can freely bully a child, but there's also no hospital staff to protect this event to proceed on. Let me clarify, there is one hospital staff at the nearby desk who seems to be the administrator of the area, but she totally does nothing. She let the whole event occurs without intervening. My goshh, she's supposed to be fired if she does her job like this. It equals to intentionally let the kids get into danger.

- The FL's rival, who is a doctor, openly disses FL, who is her colleague, about some personal affair without proof in front of a bunch of child patients and some parent at the public area in the pediatric ward. She also has two back-ups, who are another doctor and a nurse, that help her diss the FL. She does something that not even a doctor would do at a workplace in front of clients. This kind of immature behavior is highly improper from the point of view of any profession. Not even to say that she is the daughter of the hospital's director. Is she stupid that she doesn't know this kind of nonsense action cause notoriety to their own hospital? How come she is a doctor??

- The hospital's director fires a FL's friend who talks back to the FL's rival and accidentally pours the coffee on the FL's rival when she is yanked. The FL wants to go to talk with the director for her friend, but the friend stops FL saying she does violate the hospital's rule. What?? What kind of rule does she mention? I don't think there can be any rule at any proper company about punishing people who pour coffee on a colleague because the colleague yanks the coffee cup to herself or it'd be easy for the employer to get sued!

Where's the logic in this series??
I love the FL and ML from other series, but this series is so infuriating to watch. For now, I still want to watch it till the end because I want to see the leads, but if I do so the score of this series could go to the lowest when I reach the last episode. From the frequency of illogical messiness showing up until ep6, I can imagine how messier this series would become and how bad I would criticize it as it goes on.

----------------------------------------------

I wrote the above review when I finished ep6. Here's what I add up after finishing the whole series.

- The illogical messiness continues quite intensely until ep10. During latter episodes, the story doesn't get much into the leads' occupations anymore. And when they don't challenge themselves to show their intellectual level, things are ok. Then at the last stretch, the nonsense plot concerning the psychiatrist profession comes up again, and this is quite a big one in terms of the profession's accuracy. The FL, as a psychiatrist, decides that the best way to save a patient who has PTSD is to not let the patient recall his lost memories. So, she tries hard to hide the memory from the patient. She, again, is a psychiatrist! But her way to cope with a patient isn't to treat him, but to hide the illness from him! My. GOSH. All the details about being a psychiatrist in this series are all WRONG. (Later, the patient still recalls the memory and it's no big deal -_- The FL then tells the patient to try recalling everything -___-")

- The last 6 episodes are super boring. When I reached the last 4 episodes, I almost didn't care much about anything anymore. It's easy to see through what things are going and how it'd end. The plot makes me roll my eyes, even the love scenes are so lamely tasteless. The acting is not good enough to attract me to stick just to see the actors/actresses move around.

----------------------------------------------

P.S.

P.S.1 - I don't feel any chemistry between the 2nd/3rd/whatsover-sub leads at all. I always skip when it's the story about them. I feel like watching them is just wasting time. It's bad to that point for me.

P.S.2 - Let's talk a bit about the taste in their costume. In ep21, there's a party and a female character wears a fade-brown chiffon dress that has three neon-green straps on the front torso part. MY..GOSH... The design of the chiffon part is a fail, to start with. It makes the person who wears it look swollen. They make the dress spongy all at the wrong places. I can't find the thought behind the designer's idea of how to come up with this dress at all except that he/she might not have brain? Then, the neon-green straps?? The neon-green doesn't go along with the fade brown which is the core color here at all. And straps?? Why straps there?? It's like they want to add some spice into the dull brown dress, but they don't have the initiative of how to do that, so they just conveniently put anything that would look the most out-of-place there. They succeed, I'd say. It's hilarious. I choked with laughter right when the character comes into the frame. Unless... this character has a strong personality, she's not a joke. And this is an intense scene, but I can't take it serious at all. It's humorous but in an embarrassing way.
