Plot: Two doctors met after 13 years of parting. Hye Jung was a troubled
student back in high school whose life has been changed by her grandmother and her
homeroom teacher, Hong Ji Hong. He is an aspirant physician who’s found passion
in teaching.
Commentary:
KIM RAE WON. I’m not a fan of Kim Rae Won though I believe I have seen
him in My Little Bride where I adored Moon Geun Young so much. But still I
could not really decipher the hype of this Kdrama before I started to watch it
because “It’s just another Kdrama about Doctors yet again”. Though I knew that
Park Shin Hye is a talented actress whom I have adored in Heirs, I thought it
was still not enough. But this is not a part of the impression that I have for
this drama because it was worth it of the hype and high kick scenes that Park
Shin Hye has done in the beginning.
I feel that this is the best that Park Shin Hye has become. I am a fan
of her dancing and athletic ability in the past but now she has my total respect
and she’s become matured and is brimming with passion. I am truly glad to have
witnessed Hye Jung in her, be it as a gangster or as a compassionate doctor.
She’s reached her best shape yet and I hope that she’ll continue to thrill the
viewers with her action packed scenes.
Going back to Kim Rae Won, I have so much thought of him and I don’t
know where to start because he’s been so lovely the whole time and I couldn’t
take my eyes of off this ahjusshi. Now excuse my language but I couldn’t
believe he’s just occurred now. I could totally bring him in my list of
charismatic ahjusshi in Korean Entertainment scene where I dearly place Ji Jin
Hee, Jang Hyuk, So Ji Sub, Lee Jun Ki, Jo In Sung, Nam Gong Min (Beautiful GongShim) and the list goes on. But I am still at the peak of Ji Jin Hee fever
since I’ve watched ‘I Have a Lover’. Now I feel bad for enumerating some actors
because it can actually go a very long way. But then, I happen to really
associate him with them because he rarely appears and now, he’s making my heart
flutter. LOL. But then I would like to emphasize that he really match Park Shin
Hye well and he also gives off an innocent vibe which is a totally fresh image.
To give the characters a brief preview, Hye Jung has a strong
personality. She’s the type to never back down from anyone who will contest her
belief in herself which is why she’s also the one who’ll get hurt the most in
the process because she tends to bring it all to herself. That strength she has
brought her to becoming a successful surgeon which led her to meeting Hong Ji
Hong whom she had a crush on in high school. Even though they were apart for a
long time, Ji Hong was someone who never lost his faith in her for he believed
that she can go through everything. But he never thought that she’ll become a
doctor someday. When they met after so many years, a romance between the two
will develop and surely, it will not be an easy one which the couple was not
made for.
The story is in line with the setting and the supporting characters are
truly well written as well. The main setting is the hospital which is a kind of
environment where you see doctors particularly in the critical area such as
emergency room, operating room and the intensive care unit so it has to become
realistic as it should be as the real practice. I must say that they have so
far shown competency as health care professionals and the exchange of banters are
fitting for the profession and also, some prejudice around. But in the end, you
see that as Doctors, the main priority are the patients so the center of the
story should belong to them and so far, it has shown that kind of practice
which I believe is quite insightful how they were able to bring it in front of
everything. As an institution, they have shown weakness and lack of coordination
but I will give them some slack on that part because it is considered as
business and this is a Kdrama, as long as they keep professionalism among the
doctors and show the real story behind the scene.
Of course, I wouldn’t miss the OST of this series which I think is
really effective to the sequencing and all of that so I find myself lying back
and just enjoying the scenes when the OST plays especially Youn Ha’s Sunflower
which you should check out. At first when I head the song, I thought of Youn ha
but I did not verify the singer of the song so I just let it pass but just now,
I found out that she sang it and I am so glad because it’s a great song and she
happened to be one of the Kpop singers I listened to in the past. So this is
totally a spazz-worthy for me.
What’s the hype all about? It’s in Hong Ji Hong’s stare, style and
smile. But it will also be fun at the same time to watch the young and the old
ones in the profession to have a clash in the practice especially that they are
part of an institution. As what has already been established, the young
physicians have so much issue within, professionally and personally. How will
they be able to show and maintain competency and loyalty to the oath that they
have sworn? I have so many questions in my mind as well so I am really crossing
my fingers that they may be able to put things together in the end. “Just
because.”
