I loved loved and ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS SHOW.
And as I mentioned just now, throughout the show I had this HUGE grin on my face.
The show is such a treat to watch. It's funny, it's witty, it's melodramatic, it's fun, and it's just amazing.
I was getting very disappointed in k drama story lines but altho the antagonism side of the story is a very repetitive one, the protagonists and the main story line of Koh Seung tak and Cha Young min was just beautiful.
I usually watch tv shows at 1.5x speed, but I always had to slow down on Young min and Seung tak scenes. They were just... ahhhh chef's kiss. Their bonding and the journey they both went through, Perfect.
A few things that needed working on:
1) The senior doctors acting so reluctant at the thought of surgeries felt very...weird. I mean even if you don't participate in many surgeries, at that age you've still gathered enough experience to get the work done. The amount of incompetence they showed, it's a surprise a hospital would even keep them. That was a plot deficiency because I can't expect doctors to be so repugnant to surgeries and still be employed.
2) After a couple of episodes, Seung tak really stops caring when talking to Dr Cha. It's like he's forgotten that living people exist. He'll be talking to Dr Cha in corridors, in the ER, in literally every place, even with people around. He would've been labelled a freak anywhere else and not wrongly so considering ghosts aren't supposed to be existing that way.
3) Dr Jang (or was it Kang?) was in America for a good 12/13 years and you can't possibly expect me to believe that she speaks English just like an any other Korean. When you live in a native country, you pick their accents and their dialect but she didn't. And that's a really big plot hole. The directors and producers should work on accent coaching too considering how globalized k dramas have become now.
4) 20 years ago, people had mobile phones? I mean even if they did, weren't pagers used to call doctors to depts and not phones? So far as I remember phone calls were really expensive when phones came out.
