FINALLY after 3 years and it did not disappoint
my favourite medical drama is back!! i didnt think i could wait 3 years for this season to come out but i waited and its finally here and it definitely didnt lower my expectations.this cast is one of my favourite casting, ever i think. also the new additions to the cast, Lee Shin Young and Lee Hong Nae is the best thing ever.
i might change my rating depending on the ending but right now its amazing, the plottwists and storyline is amazing. (i have changed it and the added info is below)
this is the second drama ive watched with Lee Hong Nae in it but hes such an amazing actor must i say, i couldnt get over his acting in 'the uncanny counter' that i honestly thought he would be evil in this drama as well because of the impact he made in that drama.
and now i have finally finished the drama and can i say that it did not disappoint ONE BIT. kang dong ju coming back was so unexpected but definitely not random. it helped the storyline go from a 9 to 10 in my opinion. i loved the fact that there was plot twists and other surprising things like seo woojin knowing kang dong ju and the history behind that.
i also saw someone say that yoon a reum and park eun tak breaking up was unnecessary but i thought the total opposite, it helped their relationship grow and taught them a lot.
ALSO THE LITTLE ENDING SCENE, hopefully its hinting at a season 4??? i really hope to see season 4 with both season 1 and 3 casts combining to make doldam a great hospital. 100% the best medical drama ive ever watched

absolutely incredible, definitely reccomend
this drama was originally something i was uninterested in even after seeing multiple promotions of it online and on netflix. but as an avid knowing bros watcher, i saw that they had appeared on it and decided to watch the first few episodes that was out already. and when i say this was the best choice i made i mean it. this was honestly such a fun, sad, interesting drama with a new concept that really worked.if ur someone who doesnt really enjoy these supernatural themes in kdramas, i promise you now you need to try this drama. its not very centered on the supernatural element at all and more focuses on the crime part of the story which i really loved.

the beauty of youth
im not really old enough to be reminiscing about the youth yet, im not even the age of the characters in 1999, however i have my perspective on it.this drama had such a new storyline that i hadn’t seen before and it had really taught me a lot,
the need to treasure this moment in time. (as a carat i have to reference the song ‘ima - if the world ends tomorrow’)
its very realistic (minus the time travelling), just a middle aged couple going through what many have to go through in life. and such a beautiful reconnection.
now i don’t think i have the right to comment on how tearful it is either as i cry at even the least emotional parts of dramas, but this will definitely make you shed a few tears. the relationship between jin joo and her mother made me cry waterfalls. it really made me reflect on how i should treat and carry on treating my parents now, and even after i get married as nothing lasts forever.
time to talk about the casting. long story short, it was perfect. from the main couple to the second lead, even to the support characters, it was amazing.
nam gil was just so perfectly casted but also written. one of the biggest second lead syndromes ever. he wasn’t snobby, wasn’t rude and was always there for jin joo that sometimes u will wish they get together.
i 100% recommend this drama. its refreshing, makes you think a lot, makes you cry a lot but most importantly makes you smile at how incredible it is.

its… okay?
i honestly started watching this due to the high amount of people saying it was “cute” and “fluffy” but honestly the only thing i liked about this drama was the main leads.what confused me at first was the bullies. they start bullying haebom but then all of a sudden they disappear? i get that after the time skip they go because they’re out of highschool but even before the timeskip they just don’t appear anymore.
the acting was pretty good to be honest. the main leads were cute and they portrayed their not so good characters well.
also taesung literally forcing haebom against the wall and nearly choking him was so unnecessary, i get that taesung is in denial of haebom not liking him but it was so weird and made me so uncomfortable. he apologised but that still didnt make me think over the whole situation.
it was obviously low quality and their budget was small but honestly the storyline needs some work.
i wouldnt recommend watching it :)

incredible
all of the bad reviews is very confusing to me because in my opinion this was a masterpiece.not only was the casting AMAZING, but the storyline was so good. yes, i agree that the story kind of went aside sometimes and strayed away from the actual plot but thats why i kept on watching this drama. the dynamic and chemistry between the main leads was absolutely amazing, and the plot twists made me keep watching. i don’t know if your going to trust me or the other reviews which don’t recommend this drama, but it in my kdrama educated opinion, this was such a great drama and is 100% worth watching.

as expected, such an amazing drama
the amount of bad reviews this got was SHOCKING. when i originally found this drama i knew it was going to be great considering the casting. bae suzy AND lee jong suk in the same kdrama had me in a chokehold. the acting was incredible and the story line was so good.i feel like not many dramas can pull of this supernatural/fantasy genre but in this drama it was pulled of amazingly. not only was there such a cute dynamic between the main leads but the main storyline was so captivating and the plot twists were so good. i also liked the fact that the two main leads had a backstory and they were all connected.
1000000% recommend and will definitely rewatch.

absolutely breathtakingly incredible
im not usually one to watch crime dramas. not because they’re boring, it just doesn’t seem to click with me despite my interest for crime documentaries. however this drama just changed something inside me.i honestly don’t know where to start. from the plot twists to the romance to the crime its just perfect in every single way possible. now when i watch these types of dramas, i usually pause after every episode and just think to myself what information i’ve gathered, who maybe the killer or whatnot, but after i watched an episode of this drama, my entire thought process changed.
every single episode has a cliffhanger and makes you just binge every episode.
the acting is just PHENOMENAL. i love lee joongis dramas so i knew his abilities but i was just shocked after watching his performance. the pure emotions he put in as he cried just had me shook. i had never watched moon chaewon so i didn’t really know what to expect from her but she was just jawdropping. i mean when i heard her not winning any awards for it i was shocked. also the little daughter was so cute she just has that face that makes me smile when i look at her.
i never really talk about the ost in my reviews but i needed to for this drama. it had the most perfect music for every scene and it made scenes so much more suspenseful.
i 1000000000% recommend this drama and if you are like me and you don’t usually watch crime dramas, trust me and watch it as it is definitely worth it!

oh my gosh.
Originally when i first read the title, it kind of through me off because i thought that it would be about a man falling in love with a robot, which honestly isn’t the best storyline. But when i say that it was far from what i expected, i mean it in the best possible way.This is one of the fluffiest, cutest dramas i’ve ever watched.
If you read my Business Proposal review (which is very unlikely) you would know i LOVE cliches. I am the biggest cliche fan you will find. If the drama is about a rich man from this great company, in line to be CEO, and he falls in love with a clumsy, not so rich girl then i am watching it right away. The parents of the rich people died? I know that comes up in most dramas you’ve watched, its so overused and practically comes up in every drama. But no matter what it still catches my eye. I watch it no matter what. And this drama included all the cliches there is. A rich man ✅ no so rich girl ✅ parents have died ✅ a love triangle ✅ the love triangle is fixed by the other girl in the story ✅ someone is always left single by the end of the show ✅ lots of angst, to the point where the main couple breaks up and someone runs away✅ and most of all, a happy ending ✅. It ticks all the boxes, which is more of a reason for you to watch it.
If you are looking for a romantic comedy which fulfils all the cliches you can ever ask for, a romantic comedy that is ACTUALLY funny, a romantic comedy you can watch when you have nothing to watch; then this is really the best drama to cure all your problems.

best medical drama ever
honestly im a little sqeamish and always avoided medical dramas but my friend reccomended it to me and it was the best thing they have ever done.after watching this drama my fear of blood was gone and i honestly became more intrigued with anatomy.
the casting is GREAT and the acting is so good i honestly was in shock every episode.
my ONLY problem with this drama is the title. when i first started watching it i thought it was a romance/medical drama but for the first 10 episodes there was very little romance, only in the first 2 episodes.
but nevertheless i really enjoyed this and i reccomend watching season 2 (2020) and season 3 (2023) as its just as good as season 1!!!

MASTERPIECE
when i say this is a masterpiece i mean it. even my entire family who don’t watch kdramas have rewatched this at least twice.i originally thought this was going to be about a rich girl who gets into trouble and whatnot but absolutely not. the storyline was amazing, the casting was incredible and it really just blew me away. this kdrama was the first kdrama i ever watched back in 2019 and this is what got me into my obsession.
this kdrama really changed the kdrama industry in such a great way.
might i also say how the main leads being married in real life made this drama 100 times more romantic even though they weren’t together during the making of the drama.

Amazing.
I feel like a lot of people are disappointed in the ending, but I believe that the ending was what made this drama, likable and realistic.I originally I saw an edit on TikTok of the last scene which is originally why I wanted to watch it so I feel like I had a giant spoiler right from the beginning but because of the ending I want to watch the entire movie.
I normally I can’t finish the movie, unless I know it’s a really good movie, but I did end up watching this entire movie without getting distracted because of how good it was.
Great acting, good storyline. 100% recommend!

amazing
yes, i am a sucker for cliches and this kdrama really just hit what i was looking for.fake dating to real dating, enemies to lovers, BEST FRIENDS DATING BEST FRIENDS?? the tropes get better and better.
the friendship between shin hari and jin young seo was so cute and same with the brotherly relationship of kang taemoo and cha sunghoon.
the casting was INCREDIBLE. literally my four favourite actors being in the same drama.
also this needs to be said but the ost for this drama is the best ost ever. i am absolutely obsessed with love maybe by melomance. such cute lyrics and also the fact that kim se jeong (who played shin hari) covered it was also amazing.
ive also rewatched it at least 30 times (probably even more)
1000000000% recommend if your also a sucker for cliches ?
